It's an interesting idea. 'Micro time zones' of sorts. People already survive on time zone boundaries. Why stop at 30 minutes?
It'd be most convenient for local events, but maybe not for non-local events.
I'd open my bar at the most eastern point.

I don't know if a return to per-city offsets is the best idea. Software could handle a lot of the messy details for us in ways that the railroads could not have taken advantage of with only so much space for physical clocks. But a return to per-city offsets isn't really the worst idea either if we are looking at what problems Daylight Saving Time was supposed to solve and didn't solve very well.
I don't know exactly how that fares with scheduling and whatnot but it's been implemented.
