elapsed since the last entry, far too much time on the network as a blog, but today appeared opportune time to finally post a new comment. And I had time to build it in. .. bus (only a week I correct him.)
new entry to the simple question intrigued me, namely, a street jam. Through the large intersection of two streets in Krakow vip convoy drove towards the city center. I very much to them in a hurry, judging by the strength of the signal, necessitating that all other road users can be removed so as not to interfere with a passing auto and escort.
This is not an extraordinary situation. This event, however, given rise to another everyday phenomenon that is a traffic jam. Drive down the main street VIPowskiego convoy led to a few congested streets. Krakow-connected is a typical modern city, which has been affected by the disease known as traffic jams. Any unplanned event to reduce the flow of communication, even as small as a VIP ride, causing a huge impact in a string of cars poprzetykanego vehicle transport.
Well, I got stuck on the bus, standing in traffic. I began to therefore reflect the impact of such factors as the small convoy vip on the environment in which it appeared. And the easiest way to do this, calculating the economic costs.
First of all, we need an economic theory of opportunity cost. Just definition from Wikipedia:

First of all, we need an economic theory of opportunity cost. Just definition from Wikipedia:
In economics the opportunity cost of the good is the amount of other property in which you have to give up that it became possible to produce an additional unit of the former.
cost alternative in many textbooks of economics is also defined as the cost of potentially lost possible (or as the cost of lost benefits).
It outlines the situation for us. While waiting, we are wasting time that could be used in any way. And how valuable is it our time?
By GUS national average salary is 3400 zł. The monthly payment consists of an average of 22 working days after 8 hours. After converting hours to minutes and days multiplied by the unit of time, we obtain the result roboczominut 10,560 in a single month.
Dividing the average national salary for the result, the average Pole minute is worth 32 cents . It seems that a small amount.
zakorkowanego In the city of small amounts of a single aggregate can grow to large sizes. Returning to that at the beginning of a cross, counted seven warehouses tramajowych standing one by one. It was the clearest manifestation of the fact that the VIP travel disrupted traffic as normal public transport on this section performs quite well.
Assuming that in each of the seven trams were 50 people, and ultimately, their journey was delayed by 10 minutes, then multiplying these figures by value roboczominuty one is c zekanie people on public transport costing them a total of 1,120 zł . Few people, though more and more creative use of time spent in queues and traffic jams, for example reading books. However, the vast majority still practiced passive waiting, so the calculated costs are not affected by this aspect. 1120 zł
is the sum of the costs of waiting only to people in trams. Yet it would be necessary to charge other people waiting in cars or buses. It would be interesting to count the cost of fuel which burn vehicles, moving a snail's pace. Ultimately, it could be a very big sum.
As clearly seen, traffic jams are not only a disease of modern cities, but also very expensive. The worst, however, is that in the coming years, the situation is likely to only get worse, and we will not - gain more and more.
