Utopian commute
The ideal commuter solution to congested roadways would be free (the savings in road construction would more than pay for it) shuttle services, where respectful, safe drivers in nice vans shuttle residents from their front doorsteps to main transfer points (off the road for minimal/no disruption of traffic) along main road arteries where larger buses take them into the city (always remaining on main roadways, especially freeways (for a speedy and quick commute). These buses drop commuters off at main transfer points (minimizing the number of stops on the route for a quick commute) where similar vans shuttle commuters to the front entrances at the workplaces. All city transport services are concentrated on these services so that buses leave and arrive at main transfer points very frequently (at least every 30s to 1 minute), and vans arrive at commuters homes within minutes of the "ready call," where commuters signal their desire and preparation for pick-up. In this way, the main transfer points do not require large parking lots because the only method of transfer is by drop-off via the city-funded vans, or via drop-off by a spouse. People are paid to advertise the presence of the commuter shuttle service with door-to-door flyers to areas of viable commuter populations.
