It seems like the whole congestion problem could be greatly diminished if employers would take responsibility of the negative externality they are causing.<p>Let&#x27;s say employer can dictate when you arrive at work. Then your employer has to pay you salary for the time you spend commuting. The result should be either flexible hours or employers finding arrival times that don&#x27;t overlap too much.<p>It&#x27;s overly simplistic idea, but you get the point?
