Dr Google:
Based on available documentation regarding the Assad regime, it is not broadly documented or established that police and intelligence (Mukhabarat) agents had an official policy of free, unrestricted public transport. However, security forces often held privileged status, allowing them to exert immense influence over the public transport system rather than merely receiving free fare.
Key details:
Security Privilege: Security forces generally held significant authority and could often travel without restriction or harassment, often by enforcing their presence on public services.
"Serves" (Microbuses): In the daily transportation system, agents could typically assert authority on shared taxis and buses.
Green Buses: Chinese-made buses, introduced under Assad to modernize transportation, were often used for public transport but did not represent a specifically documented "free service" for security agents, though agents in uniform or carrying IDs could command authority.
The system was defined more by the omnipresence of security forces to ensure surveillance than by a formal "free ride" policy.

We may assume beating anyone was free, for Syrian Law Enforcement. Wait...
