What if we had "low speed rail" instead. You start work at your desk/cubicle at home, and without getting up your whole cube is eventually shifted into the office while you worked... where you have enough time for those critical in-person meetings, then it scoots you back home. A one/two hour commute would probably not be bad... or even very noticable... if you did not have to deal with driving.
You wanna be trapped in a work cube for hours?
No, but it's better than being trapped in a road-rage bubble for hours.
...it might also be nice to be PAID for my commute time.
Hear me out, working from home. No need for any commute, and then you can just send the meeting out as the email it should have been anyway
