Yes, that's the point. This is called modal shift and it is how you incentivize people to stop driving.

Wouldn't providing superior alternatives be a better way to incentivize people to stop driving? This seems like encouraging people to eat healthy by hitting them with a baseball bat every time they look at McDonalds.
