NHL teams for example use the hotels, resturants, bars etc. They generate revenue/income for businesses that in turn pay business taxes to the city. Taxes you say subsidise the transit system.

The point is, the user of a service that has been shown to have value should be paying that value rather than it being paid for by someone else's taxes.
