      If the “it” is a network, not just a single path.

      If you just connect 1 parking lot to the next and leave it at that, no one is going to use it even if you did your best to make it non-hostile to whatever mode of transport.

    The comic could be interpreted as pro-car. More people can drive than can bike.
