I think it's easy to argue that buses or trains have much higher goodput (and people do argue this, but I don't really hear this from the induced demand people). I don't buy the "people don't want to be stuck in traffic" line because that's exactly the cause of induced demand.
Increased b/w allows more people to travel at a level of congestion they find tolerable. That's supposed to be bad? Maybe it's not worth the cost relative to other possible projects or maybe the externalities are bad. But that's not the argument I hear.
When I lived in a driving city, traffic didn't impact me since I had a job where I could work any hours I wanted, but for a normal person with a 9-5, increasing throughput at peak times (as they did in Austin by adding a lane to the highway) is a huge quality of life improvement.
I think this is easy to miss if you're very privileged or wealthy and can afford to have a lifestyle where this doesn't affect you (by living closer to work or having flexibility), which is literally everyone I've seen making the induced demand anti-road argument.
