Study: Traffic Tax Plan Could Fund Free Subway

Gene Russianoff's observation about the historical change in work shifts suggests a solution. The city and state could help alleviate the congestion simply by changing the work shifts of their workers by an hour or so. Workers commuting by car come in very early to avoid the rush. Why not transit employees - either earlier or later?
