Why not stagger starting times for people who work the usual 9-5? One batch starts at 9:05am, the next at 9:10am, etc. then on the way home, you leave at 5pm, 5:05 pm. 5:10pm, etc.?
You’d think the grave lack of jobs would have people driving less - but NOW, since jobs are scarce, people need to drive to 2 or sometimes 3 jobs in the course of a day.
Wonder if that’s factored in?
That might work, as long as everyone lives the exact same distance from work, and drives the exact same speed, and makes the exact same number of stops on their way to and from their jobs.
