You need density if you want to encourage light rail or even bike infrastructure (such as dedicated bike paths or lanes). The two go hand in hand. Of course more mixed use would also help, gradually turning the suburbs into something more reminiscent of traditional villages or towns.

And yeah, having the bottom floor be commercial is often effective. Even if it's just a GP's doctor's office. Look at pre-WW1 urban core neighborhoods in Germany, for example.
