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

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.

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.
