Induced demand isn't actually a bad thing unless your transportation gets less efficient the more people use them. Which is definitely the case with cars. Just look at the amount of parking spaces needed to cope with peak hours. This can all be avoided if trains and buses are a viable and comfortable option for people.
Just think about the average car ridership only having 1.2 passengers. While a bus that takes up three parking spaces can have 50-100 people. Or a train that could hold up to 1500 passengers.
This holds true as long as the population is constant, becaus a single human can not spend an indefintly amount of time in public transport.
If the population can increase eg. Housing Markets in cities, this wont work. If you could double or quadruple the amount of available houses instantly the demand would also go up after some time…
You can pack a lot of buses onto a bus lane. Trains and trams scale even better because you can expand the same vehicle by adding more sections.
