    That solution would lead to replacing the trucks that are full of packages making relatively few trips, with everyone getting into their own vehicles to collect packages from the “packages office.”

    This would lead to increased congestion, more resources being used, increased wear on the roads, more traffic accidents, etc. The paid drivers can be monitored to be complying with the laws while individuals drive like the assholes they tend to be anyway.

    This is a horrible solution IMHO that would lead to way more problems than it solves.

      People are not inherently bad drivers. Also, this solution wouldn’t necessarily create more traffic. People can pick up their package after work, or after they drop the kids of at school, or when they’re doing groceries. I wouldn’t expect many people making the trip for the single purpose of picking up a package
