Maybe in the long-term, but the sheer volume of displacements (especially the ones from Mecca) will make commuters out of a huge number of people who wouldn't consider it normally. I understand your point that, eventually, the increased number of bases should reduce the number of commuters on a company-wide, percentage basis, but for the next few years, I think we'll see commuting increase dramatically.

I think a better commuter policy needs to be a priority, for the short-term at least.
