There's a CBC article on a Statistics Canada study about Canadians' commutes:
Time is money: Here's how your commute is costing you both | CBC News
To me, this is the absolute worse facet of the sidewalk/slowlane. It's the ultimate prostitution of time. Showing up for work eight hours a day (if you're lucky) is one thing. Losing time getting to and from there is another thing entirely, as you don't even get paid for it. It's even worse if you have to spent time driving, which saps your attention, as opposed to sitting on a train or bus. At least, then you can spend the time reading or even writing.
In Montreal, starting in 2020, they'll be closing the tunnel for one of the train lines that runs under Mount Royal from the suburbs into downtown. This is part of the construction of a new light rail line called the REM. Commuters will instead have the option of stopping at a train station three stations short of central station and taking a bus to a subway. To call this disruptive is an understatement.
There's real economic value in either working closer to home or working from home. And, obviously, this is one of the most compelling arguments for the Fastlane.
Anyway, rant over
