Great job humans. Keep encouraging more daily commuters and contributing to greenhouse gases instead of making things better through technology. I am sure the next generations will thank us for this and not even showing the willpower to look at the issue objectively. /s

Before the pandemic I never touched my car Monday to Friday, I was strictly on the subway. I didn't even have a parking pass for work.

Since working from home, I drive around the suburbs almost daily Monday to Friday for lunch/errands to get out of the house.

People make weird assumptions.

It sounds like you may live in one of the few cities in America with public transportation

The only thing I am assuming is that back to the office will increase number of car commuters - are you saying this is a weird assumption? I think it is a no brainer.

Office commuting is the most viable public transport service. Trains would use a negligible amount of power per passenger. It might even be more efficient to take a train to an office than to heat your home.
