- nfRfqX5n 7y agoyou would still be commuting home in the dark regardless i think
- goerz 7y agoNot if you work 9-5
- tzs 7y agoIf there isn't enough daylight during part of the year to allow for both morning and evening commutes to be in the light, it probably makes more sense to give the light to the morning commute. The morning commute is not only adults going to work. It's also kids heading to school, many on foot or bike. The evening commute, on the other hand, is mostly adults coming home from work. School days are significantly shorter than adult work days, so the school kids are home by around 2-4 PM, before the evening commute starts. Thus, if you only have enough daylight for one of them, you'll benefit more people by using that light for the morning commute.
- mayneack 7y agodawn is also a lot colder than dusk
- randyrand 7y agoOver 40% of kids do extra-ciriculars. We also need to factor in errands, hangouts, etc, that are done after school. Similarly, there are more adults than children and Adults/parents commute at more dangerous busy times. "Think of the children" should only go so far.
- mayneack 7y agoI'm more concerned with the cold. Morning dark is a lot colder than evening dark
