Not in the long-teen, no. There needs to be an expansion of the tube system to improve capacity.

An alternative solution worth investigating would be to ease rush-hour by incentivising, or even restricting, companies from starting at 9am.

I think it's already happening — the bad commutes are incentive enough.

I've been at startup-like tech companies in Shoreditch where it's acceptable to swan into work any time before 11. Another anecdata is the large bank I worked at where it was expected that you would work from home 1-2 days per week.
