The iconography that’s showing on streets to remind people how far we should be keeping from one another is an interesting evolution in street art. But it’s also an exercise in restraint, when you’re late for work will to get on to a train that just a little too full or wait for the next one?
Companies and cities have the capability to extend rush hour so that public transportation is less dense. Using apps to see how full subway carts could help people time their commute to a less busy time. Companies can offer flexible start times and businesses that have shift work and coordinate with each other to spread out how many people are heading to one part of the city.
These are just a few of the topics we touch on in our 10min chat. Public transportation can’t become secondary, many cities have done a great job moving people to this greener mode of transport. As more people are starting to move around cities that are easing restrictions, it will take a coordinated to tackle the congestion issue we face during rush hour commutes.
