Location: typical metro city (Delhi,Mumbai,Banglore…)
Time: 9:00-11:00 given that most offices open at 10:00.
Duration: Approximate average time required to reach office 45 minutes.So everyone gets going and hits the roads at around 9:15.
Considering the high population and traffic density there are numerous traffic jams all across. People get stuck on roads.
Nobody reaches office on time & a journey of 45 minutes takes somewhere around 1-2 hours. I just try to analyze the problem
******let us classify the people constituting road traffic into 2 segments
1. Active
2. Lazy
Case 1(Ok):The whole population is lazy => nothing changes, status quo continues, same jams, and same times.
Case 2(Best Case):Some lazy + Some active – some people notice the pattern, their will to action drives them and inherent non-laziness urges them to start early. So they start at 8:30.
The lazy ones who are indifferent (arguably better adapted) to the situation do not bother to take any action.
Result: the traffic density reduces simply because now half the population is travelling at a different time than others. So – no more jams.
Case 3 (infinitely Worst Case):The whole population is active => nothing changes except that everyone is taking more trouble and more pain to end up in the same situation – only an hour earlier.
This piece of evidence derives 2 conclusions
1- laziness can only make the situation better or let it remain the same
2- Activity can make it worse.
Moral of the Story--
Be Lazy; make the world a better place to live: D

All people should be allowed to work from home :), this can be made possible in most cases by IT.
I think this would be silver bullet for this problem.
fundu..ultra max fodu..god level article.. is this a product of an active or a lazy mind..!!

@ ravi - Matmaniac is a perfect expamle of Active mind and LAZY body .... :)
Dhanyawad :) partly rightly said :)
This model should be transposed to the problem of reaching the classroom from the hostel also............ :P :P
There is a dilemma in minds of
FEW (not me) people in early morning classes (who attend them)--- breakfast or bath :)
I think matmaniac is a result of active body (typing) and lazy mind. All these thoughts were always present in his mind. Now he has taken an effort to note it down.
wondering what if all the Mumbai junta reads it and decided to join 1 of the category...what category wud they like to join?? :P
