Commute time is just one of many very large inefficiencies in modern work life. I spend much more time each day in useless meetings, filling out useless forms, digging through HR docs pages trying to find convoluted policies so I can get reimbursed for some obvious work-related expense. The challenge to getting more remote is that commuting is NOT the most wasteful aspect of most companies (even if companies bore the full cost of it).
