See you are missing the point. The demand isn't induced, it was always there. They wanted to move and use thier car, but traffic was too bad. My complaint is with the BS argument that the extra lane caused demand to materialize out of no where. It was always there, just unserved.

They wanted to move and use thier car

Did they though? To some extent, yes. But most people just want to get places and will take whichever mode makes the most sense for that journey, and what a city invests in will make that mode make more sense for more journeys. There is also a portion of journeys that just won't happen if they are too difficult.

Distinction without a difference to the point. The demand was always there. It was never induced.
