What problems arise when lots of people travel to work at the same time?
What difficulties do commuters face during rush hours?
Oh, I think that the main problem which arises when people commute to work in the rush hour is peak-hour traffic congestion. All the other problems are the consequences of traffic jams, to my mind. But there are quite a few of them. For example, roadblocks usually lead to longer commuting and delays which may result in late arrival for employment, meetings and education as it's just impossible to forecast travel time accurately. It concerns both people using public transport and driving their own cars. As far as the problems for the latter are concerned, I'd also mention a higher chance of collisions due to tight spacing and constant stopping-and-going, and wasted fuel owing to increased idling, acceleration and braking. Well, and of course, 1 just can't help mentioning such problems as crowdedness, time wasting, noise pollution and stress caused by all the problems I've just mentioned.
