Bangkok
has a sparkling metro system, river ferries and even a network of
canals. But it still has the worst evening rush hour traffic in the
world.
Journey times more than double in Thailand's capital city during the evening commute, according to GPS manufacturer TomTom.
"It's pretty extreme," Nick Cohn, senior traffic expert at TomTom, said of the city's road delays.
It might get even worse, especially as the country's middle class continues to grow.
"People just wanna drive because it's kind of a status symbol," Cohn said.
I thought Phnom Penh was worse than Bangkok, but perhaps there is no data because Khmer don’t use GPS in their vehicles yet.
