  No doubt the subject of this article drives a car to work, probably annoying someone with the traffic he is a part of. "You're not stuck in traffic, you are traffic." A more realistic way of solving the traffic problem is not to get people out of their cars (that is going to be super-expensive), but the eliminate rush hours where everyone goes to work at the same time. "No income tax if you work from 12-8," or something would probably kill traffic dead.

    While it's true that distributing the load over more hours will improve things in the short term, the fact is, with continuous growth, eventually the roads/routes need some improving. The simple fact is that in most cities, the road infrastructure is just not up to the task for the number of people using it, and projects rarely seem to include the future requirements of the roads based on growth. The other part of the problem, as I see it, is that the solution is almost always more lanes, rather than a highway that parallels the original a few miles to the left or right of the original route. More routes have the benefit of not bringing all traffic to a halt when one has an accident.

    That's nice to think, but the reality of most business is it works with other business. They need to be roughly on the same schedule in general for that to work. You'll note that B to C business employees often work those staggered hours - so that the other consumers can get there off business hours.
