Or maybe tell bosses that if your job can be done remotely it should be done remotely. Then there's more room on the bus for people who need to be in meatspace to do their jobs.

If only bosses were open to persuasion.

Yeah, tell it my boss. I had this conversation today with her.

I wish I didn't need hands for my job, 90% of it is brain work with a tinker here and there. I see so many videos of robotic hands being used for things and can't wait for the day I can just send one of these out to a site equipped with some tools and just remotely tap into the video stream. It's coming and I don't think it will be too long. Hell, I'm just a layman and if you gave me a dedicated year and some funding I could get something viable up to par so I'm sure it's possible, guess it just won't profit anyone enough to sell it yet.
