You are making the assumption that deliberately causing an undersupply of road space so that people are forced to use public transit is a net virtue, while in reality it's just acting against the market.

We are talking about a mother, courts frequently force parents to act in the best interests of their children even if it's against the interests of the parents. A mother's child is not an alien unrelated in any way to the mother.
