- x86x87 3y agoTraffic indeed sucks. It depends on the day. Wed is the worst. Friday is the "best"
- sidlls 3y agoThis happened in the Bay Area, too. Prior to everyone adopting "RTO" (return to office) policies, my commute to the office regardless of the day was about 20 minutes (leaving from SF). After, on Tuesdays through Thursdays, it can easily be 30-40 minutes. And getting back home? Horrible. Before RTO I could leave the office at 4 or 5 and be back in my nice apartment within a half hour. Now it takes 10 fuckin minutes just to get off on Sixth Street after a 20-30 minute drive. And if there's a wreck on the 80 going to the east bay forget it--it's another 10-20 minutes just to get through the last 2 blocks of traffic.

- wiml 3y agoIt's true, but it was horrible pre-pandemic, too. I'm not sure it's worse now. (Source: have lived here for a while.)
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoOh god yes. Also, our transit agency has a driver shortage so there are less buses in the road, and their schedules are erratic, making people rely on cars more often. It is even worse than before the pandemic at this point.
