As nickff posts below, there are other, less provocative ways to refer to the fact that demand can outstrip supply.
I'd argue that most of the time in the case of road networks the demand isn't even induced; it's not even elastic! It's already there, there's just no supply for it. At least in the short term - you might have an actual increase in demand over decades as a city/region grows.
- afiori 5y ago> the demand [..] It's already there, there's just no supply for it. This is the case if those people do not take alternative form of travel, a single subway can take hundreds of cars off the street, even in car-centric suburban hellscape (I am showing my bias here) there are secondary longer routes. In terms of congestion demand is very path-specific.
