    Imagine how much more chill everyone on the road would be if they were getting paid to be there.

        There’s no way the pay would be based on real world commute. But reasonable calculated commute based on region and distance.

        It’ll never happen anyway, so the really isn’t much point worrying about it I guess.

            It would be better if there was a standard calculation like:

            Commute time = time it would take to commute by public transport from the nearest residential area that could house a family on the income of the worker in question

            That puts positive pressure on improving cost of housing, and improving speed of public transport

            And were they to try to play the system by getting high speed trams linking a poor, cheap area to the CBD, that would quickly no longer be a cheap place to buy
