Interesting facts and maps, but the major flaw I see is that rush hour isn't the same time in every city. And I'm not really sure why rush hour was used specifically, instead of some kind of average.
- zilian 9y agoAverage won't help you when T max matters more, for instance when you must decide where to buy an apartment. (I work on those problems)
- thatcat 9y agoMax commute distance for most people is related to rush hour traffic not the average.
- c3534l 9y agoWell, sure it is. There will be some people who make it out before or after rush hour. If you take those people into account you will get a literal average.
