It'd seem in that case it's not that demand increased but that people moved further way from their final destination so their commute time was increased.
It may very well be that the same people are still driving or wanting to drive, but simply by living further away the commute times have gone up.
- 7952 10y agoIf people travel further then demand has increased. It is strange how people think about congestion in terms of number of people rather than miles driven. A single car that hits several choke points on a 50 mile commute is causing far more congestion than a vehicle travelling 5 miles. Yet the users are treated exactly the same and never get any social pressure to reduce their demand.
