If someone is just riding something due to looks than what is the point in catering to them when there are thousands who would ride regardless.

The reason to cater to people other than those who absolutely need it is because giving more people buy-in encourages public investment in your transit system. Look at transit systems in cities where only the people who have to use transit use it - the poor, elderly, disabled, etc. You end up with bad, infrequent service. Contrast that with a place like DC where all kinds of people ride transit - more frequent, convenient service and investment.
