“emptying Silicon Valley’s Highway 101 of commuters “
Uh, no. It was still quite crowded everyday.
Bout the only thing that happened is the commute period contracted a bit.
The real relief didn’t happen until 9/11. For a couple of months, getting around the valley was a breeze. Upside to everything, huh?

Huh. I ended up commuting out of state for a military contractor. Going through security offset the ease of driving to the airport. Come Jan 2 I must’ve spent 5 hours waiting in line for security.
