"die Öffentlichen" means public transport.
I prefer to ride my bike to work, but public transport is more pleasant in snow and rain.
Sometimes "der öffentliche Personennahverkehr" or "die Öffentlichen" is even abbreviated as "die Öffis".

5The reason it is "die Öffentlichen" is that it is short for "die öffentlichen Verkehrmittel".– HalvarFCommented Nov 15, 2020 at 11:04
