Of course if we assume that much less than 100% of the population are commuters, the per-commuter price tag would about about $1000. That means that commuters effectively spend about $4 a day to avoid having to be stuck with someone else in an enclosed space. What a bargain!

I bet absoultely no consideration was given to issues such as “I don’t know when I’ll be able to leave due to work load,” “What if my kid gets sick/hurt at school?” “No one in my office lives near me.” The fact that a vast majority of workers are employed by small companies, decreasing the likely hood that they live near one of the few co-workers. And my personal favorite: Sales people who need their car during the day to make calls. Studies like this are stupid. What they really need to study is how much time do people get stuck in traffic jams due to accidents and the correlation to the demographics of those at fault in said accidents so these morons can either be educated or prevent them from having a liscence coupled with a large enough deterent to keep them from driving without one should they get caught.
