One year, 23 different pairs of DST start and end dates were used in Iowa alone. For exactly five weeks each year, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia were not on the same time as Washington D.C., Cleveland, or Baltimore\u2014but Chicago was. And, on one Ohio to West Virginia bus route, passengers had to change their watches seven times in 35 miles! The situation led to millions of dollars in costs to several industries, especially those involving transportation and communications. Extra railroad timetables alone cost the today\u2019s equivalent of over $12 million per year.\u201d (Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webexhibits.org\/daylightsaving\/k.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WebExhibits<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, DST is a problem, and yes it\u2019s gonna become only more so over the years.
