We have artificial lighting now and the older method just means more car accidents as people commute to home after work.

Artificial lighting is less effective than natural light - which is why many people use special high-intensity lights to counter SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) in mid-winter. You could argue that shifting that daylight towards the mid-to-late afternoon is a preferable trade-off, but it's not a foolproof argument.
