Commute Times
September 26, 2007 | Permalink
Commute times in the morning are getting earlier and earlier. Many commuters are finding that they have to leave earlier in the morning than they ever have before just to beat massive wait times in traffic, and ward off road rage. This marks a significant shift, affecting everything from coffee shops to major corporations, and business travelers should take note.
One in 8 people are now leaving by 6 a.m. to get to work and the number will go higher. This aptly named "commuting creep," is changing people's lives in many significant areas such as when they receive their morning paper, what TV programs they watch, where to get coffee, carpooling, family time, fitness routines, and traffic-signal timing. For business travelers this means that when you are heading out for that meeting be sure to check the traffic report and be wary of extra traffic even in the early hours of the morning.
Fortunately, Extended Stay Hotels has convenient locations close to many corporate headquarters so commute times don't have to be a headache. Being closer means that you can spend your time doing more important things than sitting in traffic.
