The more alternative transportation options we provide in our cities and towns frees up that space for the remaining vehicular traffic.
I have no idea why a large part of motorists does not see this concept. Instead they seem to fight against it in their own best interests.
If you commute to work in a car and there are another 100+ road users with you all headed in the exact same direction, would you prefer them all to be in individual cars? Or would you prefer a few of those people take the tram, a few take a bus, a few hop on the subway, a few cycle, and the remaining few who can walk?

It’s a common problem in humanity: seeing someone as an out group and hating them. That’s all. Facts don’t really matter. Cyclists are The Other and they Are Bad.
Me either. Even if I’m stuck in a car I want people on trains and bikes and all that. Multiple modes of transportation allows for a variety of use cases and it reduces traffic in a way nothing else can. I hate rush hour traffic, what I’d love is for a full train instead of a full road. Or like 20 bicyclists on a dedicated path next to me.
