I don't mean that improving other means of transit shouldn't negatively affect car travel, just that we shouldn't go out of our way to make car travel more painful. e.g. maybe we don't need to remove a car lane from every street in the city to replace it with a bike lane, but rather restructure flow so that every other block is car/bike/car/bike, or something similar.
