Because they need to pay for their public transit use since they haven't been paying taxes in the province.

They do pay taxes in the province though...

Hotel taxes, sales taxes, income taxes on the wages of the people providing services to tourist, etc.

Tourism is one of the easiest injections of money possible into a local economy

A couple visiting for a week can easily spend $2,000+ on lodging, food, and activities.
