Posted by Peter Rosa on Sat Dec 4 11:14:05 2021, in response to Re: IND Second system, posted by AlM on Sat Dec 4 08:18:25 2021. I should add: pre-pandemic inbound PM rush hour trains were more crowded than outbound AM rush hour trains, and contained an even smaller proportion of people who might now be working from home.WFH gets a massive amount of media attention, but in terms of actual numbers it's not as common as all this attention might lead one to believe. According to the federal Department of Labor, as of two months ago only 13% of the employed people in the US were WFH, and that included people on hybrid arrangements under which they split their workweeks between home and office. Even at its peak, in April and May 2020, no more than one-third of employed people were WFH.* Of course NYC commuters are a different story. A business survey from October said that fewer than 10% of Manhattan office workers were in the office five days a week and just over half were full-time WFH (the remainder were hybrid). Given that transit, especially commuter rail, is aimed largely at Manhattan office workers, it's going to have to figure out ways to adapt to what's looking more and more like a permanent change. Much better off peak and reverse commuting service is essential. |
