What is "peak hour"?
Peak hour is a time of day when the demand for public transportation or road travel is highest, typically due to people commuting to or from work, school, or other activities. This period usually occurs in the morning and late afternoon or evening. During peak hour, buses, trains, and roads are often crowded, leading to longer waiting times and slower travel. It is a common time for traffic in urban areas, as many people are traveling at the same time.
Example
During peak hour, the city's main highways are often clogged with bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Many restaurants offer special deals outside of peak hour to attract customers during quieter times.
Public transportation systems are usually more crowded and run more frequently during peak hour.
