I was thinking about induced demand, and I wondered why the argument as it’s made against cars/the expansion of highways isn’t also applied to things like busses. Does it not occur to the same extent?

I watched a Youtube video about this, and yeah, induced demand affects everything, but when it affects Buses, you get more buses, and that’s more efficient. When it affects Trains, you get more trains, and that’s more efficient. The only time it gets less efficient is when it affects cars. The moral of the story was: It wasn’t the Induced Demand, it was the Cars that were the problem.
