When everyone needs a car to get to work at the same time
They don't.
- Steltek 5y agoYou're going to have to expand your pithy take there. Rush hour still exists. Bumper to bumper traffic still exists. There's an awful lot of people who apparently need a lot of cars all at the same time.
- onion2k 5y agoAll those people, or more accurately the companies that employ them, choose to have the same operating hours, the same inflexible time policies, and the same insistence on going to a physical location to do work. Some of them won't have a choice of course - you can't really stack shelves or manufacture bits of metal remotely. For many of the rest travelling, commuting, and working in an office is a choice. It is not a need. The fact rush hour traffic exist shows that businesses are inflexible and unwilling to trust their workers; it doesn't show a daily commute is a requirement.
- epicide 5y agoThey don't need to and they don't all need to get there at the same time, but rush hour exists. Even if there would be cars available even during rush hour, people will expect rush hour to have less availability and will err on the side of not getting fired.
