Perhaps it's a tactical choise to leave this out, but cycling and public transport support each other. Number of cars owned should be minimised (see mobility-as-a-service) especially when fuel, road toll and parking costs are not high enough to limit the amount of driving. Less driving leaves more resources for cycling.
