Rush hour sucks though even if you use the metro/tram/bus/train. The idea that the majority of the adult population should be travelling either in or out of the city centre at the same time seems quite preposterous now.
They shouldn’t be travelling that far at all. They should be within a walkable distance of where they need to go. Walking to work is never stressful and often does reverse.
I agree but unfortunately that would require rebuilding a large number of the world's cities, which is not very likely in the near future.
Should they move if they switch jobs? What if their spouse works at the other side of the city?
Yes I'm going to live in an ugly industrial zone with no shops or nature around.
And only be able to afford a 700sqft studio if I'm lucky
That's around 65 square meters? Where do they make studios that large?
