    That’s interesting, thanks. So just throwing a bunch of buses at the problem and flexible work hours was all it took. You would think you could do this permanently easily day to day, especially with WFH being an option for many.

      I absolutely agree, but I have a sneaking but unfounded suspicion that many decision makers don’t want to prove out this theory.

      WFH during the pandemic already triggered a panic from those whose income depends on the status quo of urban commute. To them, demonstrating we don’t need offices OR personal automobiles is a dangerous experiment to conduct in one of the largest metro areas in the world.

      My god, what if it works? What would we do with all this pavement and gasoline?!
