Interesting article, Mitch. I was watching the late news from NYC last night and this topic was one of their pieces. One member of the City Council was worried that the city doesn’t have a plan for a return to mass transit usage. As someone who road the NYC buses/subways and later Metro-North to High School, College, and work for over 40 years, I can assure you that, no matter how crowded a bus or train car is, New Yorkers will do whatever it takes to cram onboard. And yes, I’ve done it!!!
It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next year or so. After 9/11, my former company (one of the largest life insurance companies in the country) moved about 20% of the NYC staff out of the city to a satellite campus in Westchester County (unfortunately, they have reversed much of that change in the last few years). I am expecting to see more remote locations popping up and the use of work from home arrangements.
