When I worked in downtown Chicago standard work day was 9-4. So your train gets in somewhere around 8:30 and you then have a 10-20 minute walk to work. Then the reverse to catch your 5:00-ish train home.
Not sure if that was widespread but by 6pm the Loop proper was basically a ghost town.

- tatersolid 9y agoWorked in downtown Chicago for 2 decades. A 7-hour day is not Standard. GP must have worked at some sort of hippie commune across the river. Most common official working hours are 8-4, since there are so many banks and exchanges that want to be on the same work schedule as NYC markets. Also it gets dark at 4:30 in December/Jan and millions of perestrians, cars, dark, and icy streets aren’t a very safe combo.
