Of course it is. Organizations that benefit from road infrastructure expansion actively work to discredit and defund government transit initiatives.
Historically there is the example of 1920s era GM funding initiatives to convert tram lines into bus lines, which required further investment in road networks, which benefited their private car ownership business as transit was defunded and discredited.
