Since only an individual man can possess rights, the expression “individual rights” is a redundancy (which one has to use for purposes of clarification in today’s intellectual chaos). But the expression “collective rights” is a contradiction in terms.

“Collectivized ‘Rights,’” The Virtue of Selfishness, 101.

A group, as such, has no rights. A man can neither acquire new rights by joining a group nor lose the rights which he does possess. The principle of individual rights is the only moral base of all groups or associations.

“Collectivized ‘Rights,’” The Virtue of Selfishness, 102.

What subjectivism is in the realm of ethics, collectivism is in the realm of politics. Just as the notion that “Anything I do is right because I chose to do it,” is not a moral principle, but a negation of morality—so the notion that “Anything society does is right because society chose to do it,” is not a moral principle, but a negation of moral principles and the banishment of morality from social issues.

That depends on the city. In many places, the bus system is run by a private company.

In either case, however, bus stop or restaurant - both serve the public. That makes both 'public' places (the exception would be a private club - which can apply for & get exemptions to the smoking laws in many citites).
