Re:How Seattle Got More People to Ride the Bus by TrinaryWorksToo on Saturday October 21, 2017 @09:05PM (#15524532)
Okay, you're right about the Wikipedia article not showing an increase in those statistics for mass transit. However, this paper does show a substitution effect for busses: http://clinlawell.dyson.cornell.edu/InTech_public_transit_ch...

However, there is an induced demand effect where because there are less cars, more people will drive. So in effect an extra lane appears, empty of the people riding the bus.
