How much longer we’re sitting in traffic as workers return to offices
www.seattletimes.com
A new report shows Seattle traffic congestion increased by 9% from 2023 to 2024, and was likely due in part to a sharp decline in telecommuting, FYI Guy writes.

    That’s a win from the city’s perspective, and the corporations too. They profit immensely from commuting and being on-site.

    I can’t read this article because it’s paywalled, but the headline said 9% longer.

    That’s such a massive underestimate it’s ridiculous.

    My total commute minutes went from 150 per week to 350. When full RTO started.

    That’s a 133% increase in commute time.

    I’ve seen a crazy amount of cars on the roads lately. That RTO mandate is really screwing things up.

    Take public transit if you can, people!
