Congestion and air pollution in the city due to too many cars is the initial situation to which different responses can be made. Either investments are made in new roads and parking facilities. The result is that the number of cars increases and congestion and air pollution rise. Or one invests in the expansion of cycle paths and makes cycling in the city more comfortable. This would lead to a decrease in the number of cars and improve the initial situation.
