Abstract
A child waits for a bus before dawn in a suburb of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, so as to arrive at school in time to start at 8:30 a.m. (Photo 1). Many commuters leave home between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. Not surprisingly, as a consequence of heavy traffic congestion, there are a large number of city dwellers who spend over 8 hours a day in commuting. What a huge socioeconomic loss!
