It makes no sense to put your hands up and say "well, cars are bad.

Nobody is doing that. We're saying "cars are bad, let's put money and effort to alternatives so people use less cars". Putting effort into squeezing more cars on the roads is literally the opposite of that goal. This change, like many other one-more-line-bro changes might look cool, but will make situation worse, if the change will even happen at all.
