I think everyone has also collectively discovered the "secret" of going in earlier to beat the traffic and now traffic is solidly from 7:30-10:30am.

I used to be on a half full bus around 7:30 from Willowbrook Mall into the city, to arrive at 8:15, and now not only is the bus ALWAYS full, we ALWAYS arrive at 8:25/30 or worse now... However, the plus side is the commuter lot at the mall is so full that they don't care to check anyone's parking but the monthly people - I always park just slightly closer to the mall, in the "non-commuter" spots, and by the time I get back around 6 there's 50+ cars doing the same so it's no longer worth targeting delinquents if we're not actually taking up mall parking spots.

I'd leave later since earlier doesn't matter now, but the earlier I'm in, the earlier I can leave later that day...

When we had to go back in person I set my hours from 8:30-4:30 thinking I could “beat” traffic. I leave at 7:30 and I’m lucky to even be in my garage at 8:30 these days. Driving home isn’t much better. But I don’t know if it would make a difference to change my hours since even when I leave to go home after 5, traffic’s just as bad.
