In fairness that's about as marginal as transit service is to traffice. A total road-diet anti car agenda isn't going to lead to shortages in the super market or even inflation.

I'm not sure I follow. The city has never seen a total shutdown of transit, except in the case of a strike for a very limited period of time. What people can sustain for a month is not indicative of what is sustainable long term.
Do you have a basis for suggesting that transit usage is inelastic or transit service is marginal to traffic? Small increases in traffic numbers can lead to huge increases in travel time.
