Yes, getting people off the road and into alternative transit options is about the only sustainable way to improve traffic over the long term (unless you have a dwindling population, then you could probably build enough road capacity to fix traffic). More transit only makes things better for those who want to continue to drive. Not that some targeted improvements to fix road bottlenecks isn't often warranted, but unless you're shifting trips to other modes, the traffic will only eventually create more bottlenecks for each one you fix!
