Let’s post and share about RTO (Return to office)

Let’s post and share about RTO (Return to office)

October 21, 2020 by Administrator

Hammer and Wrench on Apple iOS 13.3 The one-liner: Feel free to post on CleverCommute using the "Return to office" category...or simply use the abbreviation rto (or RTO) in your message...and the app will categorize it for you.

Has something changed?:  Yes! Due to the unique Covid-related environment, we have modified our filtering logic. Users can now use the app's Participate feature to share (and ask) in ways that previously may have been set aside for moderator review.  So if you want to know if the trains are safe/crowded/clean ... then ask the folks who have the info: the people who ride.

Why the change?: As discussed in early October, it has become clear that this network of commuters wants to help each other...share with each other. Some of you have been commuting throughout the pandemic. Some of you recently started. Some may be starting soon (or later).
So let's do what Clever Commuters do best: let the information flow.

How?: For the most part, you post your comment or question as you always have (instructions). But please identify your return to work-related message as such in one of two ways when using the app's Participate feature:
1. Set option #2 (What's happening) to the first choice: Return to office
-or -
2. Simply use the acronym rto (lower or upper case) in the body of your message. Our technology will auto-categorize it!
Note: rto is not a hashtag. It's simply the three-letter abbreviation.

I’m [encouraged]/[horrified] because NYC is [rebounding]/[worse than ever]

I’m [encouraged]/[horrified] because NYC is [rebounding]/[worse than ever]

October 7, 2020 by Administrator

Here at Clever Commute, we're evolving our model in order to help people prepare for the eventual return to work (RTW). No one expects RTW to happen all at once...and I expect that the experience will vary by location, person, industry, etc.

But when I recently asked folks who are currently are commuting "what do you see?"...I was surprised at the diversity of replies I received. The 2 in the table below came into my mailbox virtually back-to-back.

Clearly: perceptions will vary. Both of the commuters have a long history of sharing reliable info on Clever Commute.
So, as I was once told: "Don't listen to anybody. Rather, listen to everybody."

Maybe you love NYC. Maybe you need NYC. Maybe both. Let's give it our support...with an open mind.

Commuter A said...Commuter B said...

There are so many misperceptions on the news
People say to me: "I would commute except I'm scared of the homeless."
However, I haven't found that to be a problem at all.
In fact I see less homeless than usual (and I've taken the train, the bikes, and the subway, so I've had lots of opportunities).

The homeless population is worse now then early 90’s and it is under reported.
The aggressive nature of those seeking money is unreal.
It is hard to believe how dirty and disgusting the area around Penn Station is.
