"There is less of a morning commute, less of an evening commute and much more afternoon activity," said Bob Pishue, a transportation analyst and author of the report. This reflects a significant shift in commuting patterns, where traditional rush hours have been altered due to flexible working arrangements that many employees have adopted post-pandemic. With a decrease in early and late commutes and a rise in midday traffic, the entire landscape of commuting has changed, highlighting the new normal for urban transit.
"Employees have become accustomed to the flexibility of working from home and may only come to the office when absolutely necessary," said David Satterwhite, CEO of Chronus. This shift in workplace culture allows for significant changes in how workers view office attendance, leading to practices such as 'coffee badging,' where employees visit the office only for short, necessary engagements. The acceptance of these new habits indicates how the pandemic has transformed employee interaction with traditional workspaces.
