As a former but not current car user, congestion does not factor into how desirable car use for commuting is. I don't keep my eye on how many less cars there are, waiting for that moment when I can finally get another one because my hypothetical commute time dropped 5 mins. If it's even on par to not drive to work, that's what I'll do, and I'd pick a job in such a place that allows it. Driving to work sucks.
- eru 7y agoIf your commute is a twenty minute race on an empty Autobahn, most people wouldn't mind, and some people might even enjoy it. The more of a slog it become is stop-and-go traffic, the more people will have your (and my) sentiment that driving to work sucks. You are right, that for individuals 5 minutes more or less is not making much of a difference in their choices---most of the time. People have thresholds where it gets too annoying, so they stop completely if they can at all (like you suggest). Average over lots of people, those discrete thresholds look much smoother.
