They were thick with litter bearers, chariot jams, and furious drivers who knocked people down and ran over them in their haste to get home to dinner. Many a Roman mumbled in his toga: "Quid hercle faciamus de obstructione?"* But it was not until late 19th century London that the commuter appeared as a distinct type. London's rapid growth...
