If only work from home was still a big thing. Reduces so much driving.

A couple of studies have shown this doesn't reduce car trips nearly as much as some would think and in some areas actually increases car trips due to less clumping of errands, less adherence to rush hour times, and an increase in delivery services like ubereats and amazon.

The only solution to traffic is alternatives to traffics like transit, and nearly every form of transit is more energy effdcient than private EVs. EVs are still good, but electrified transit should be a bigger focus.

At least it’s still a thing. Canada should definitely push WFH legislation that incentivizes businesses to go that direction when it’s an option though.
