A question; What is the compaired cost to the loss of productive time,
building showers and lockers, and roadway maintainence, verses the
health benifits, better land utilization (less need for parking space),
and the cost of vechicle (including maintaince)?

Also isn't the time spent *changing and showering* just transfered to the
destination?

Willing to listen and learn.
