I doubt this has any effect, rich people don't care, poor people can't afford to move somewhere else. Public transport is the only effective approach to reducing the congestion.

Well, letting people build homes near jobs so the distances traveled are shorter (or walked, or cycled) also helps.

  So, change jobs and buy/sell your house? Switching costs are high, even as rentors. (Moving Costs, Deposits)

    Yeah. It'll take a while. Existing costs are high too (gas, insurance, getting killed in crashes or by pollution, environment)

Only if people use it. I don't have a source easily at hand, but I have read about how people are willing to fund public transit via tax increases, but those same people rarely ever use it.

Public transportation should always be improving, but so should the road system. > Public transport is the only effective approach I think that is going to change very soon. If you had some lanes dedicated to self-driving cars, that convoy could vastly increase traffic density.
