That's a tough one. I lived in Toronto for many years and traffic and public transportation are unpredictably - it could take me an hour or it could take me three hours. Sure, if I was early a there was coffee shop near by that's an option. So I like to have a little compassion for people, especially working people.

Honestly, I find this hard to believe. A huge amount of the world (think all of retail and factories) operates on shifts. How could a place be and stay wealthy if transport times were so wildly unpredictable? It doesn't make sense. And, I write this assuming that Toronto is the wealthiest city in Canada.
