There are train cars with bike racks, Park&Ride programs catered to bikes and bike paths alongside bus/tram infrastructure. Those examples make it possible to favour both.
The fairly large Midwestern city I grew up in has bike racks on every single bus so you can ride your bike to/from any bus stop anywhere in the city. It’s just the cheap little 2 bike ones on the front that add about 30 seconds of fumbling to the stop, but it still significantly extends how far one can travel without a vehicle in the city
Edit: autocarrot decided the buses need bone racks before bike racks

This is true, but a policy that will favour bikes will be done at the expense of public transports.
Ah yes the Dutch don’t exist
