Perhaps we should considerably increase incentives for telecommuting. A lot of gridlock is from office workers who probably could do their job from home. This might also foster improved community development and less suburban sprawl, as people spend more time in their communities.
Public transportation needs to dramatically improve. In a lot of places public transportation is expensive, takes longer, isn't as convenient and still stuck in the same traffic jams that other cars are. Setting aside single lanes for HOV or broken public transit seems incredibly inefficient.
The simple fact is that moving people around a city is expensive and time consuming. The real solution is not having to move people in the first place.

In a lot of places public transportation is expensive, takes longer, isn't as convenient and still stuck in the same traffic jams that other cars are. Setting aside single lanes for HOV or transit seems incredibly inefficient. And sometimes it is just a really bad experience. When I first moved to the Bay Area, I would always take BART into the city. Now, I'm willing to deal with the traffic and drive into the city. I don't need something as posh as the Leap Transit solution, but it would be nice to ride public transportation without worrying about dealing with antisocial people urinating in train cars, etc.
- SSLy 12y ago> antisocial people urinating in train cars, What? I live in second-world country, and even there the most gross thing you could stumble upon in a tram are hobos that stink. WTF is wrong with BART?

- reustle 12y agoIt isn't uncommon (later in the evening) to come across sleeping homeless people in the NYC subway who also smell absolutely terrible. You often will see a few jam packed train cars, and then 1 empty car, and more jam packed cars. It is empty for a reason.
