"The latest decision has been to "encourage" (vs. earlier "compel" or "mandate") people to work in the office Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The offices will be more or less closed on Mondays and Fridays."
The problem for many who commute on public transport is that the "season tickets" or monthly bus passes are only economic when you travel there and back every day. Travelling in three days per week can work out more expensive in some cases and far less convenient having to keep buying return tickets every day you travel.
Public transport doesn't seem to have realised that the world has changed and vast swathes of commuters have drastically changed their travelling habits. If they introduced new payment schemes, eg buy 50 journeys rather than a specific number of weeks so people can travel at the same bulk discount rates when they want to, not every day. Same applies to bridge and tunnel tolls.
