The point is correct.
However in terms of visuals, this is not going to make public transit more attractive as the overcrowded bus certainly does not invite more passengers to try it out. Especially as even in real life, many people - for understandable reasons of comfort - prefer to sit inside their car in a traffic jam than stand in an overcrowded bus.
A bus/other public transit vehicle being crowded is also mostly independent of it having own lanes or not so even if you give it much more space, comfort for the passengers wont increase by much.

@AdrianVolt@digitalcourage.social @BrentToderian@mastodon.online The bus having its own lane means its not stuck in traffic (jams) with private cars, means more frequent service is possible, means less overcrowded buses. Even outside of jams dedicated lanes always allow more reliable service and shorter commute routes. There's a hundred very direct correlations between dedicated bus lanes and bus passenger comfort.
