This reminds me of the same phenomenon that occurs in traffic planning[0] [0]: https://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm64.htm https://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm64.htm Briefly, as impediments to congestion are introduced (bike lanes, tolls), individual cars either join or leave the traffic system until the delay for cars reaches a rough equilibrium based on what people will tolerate.
