This is a "paradox" that I just stumbled across on wikipedia.
It says, basically, that traffic gets better when public transit gets better and gets worse when public transit gets worse, and is otherwise essentially unaffected or only negatively impacted by improvements (or degradation) in the quality of roads.
If you want traffic to get better, build trains.
