Worst traffic in Southeast Asia – where do you think it is?
The perennial answer to that question will depend on who you ask, and how long they’ve been stuck in traffic?
According to comparison website numbeo.com, the answer based on its own Traffic Index is Manila, closely followed by Jakarta, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.
Bangkok actually generates the most CO2 with clean and green Singapore pushing out almost one-fifth less pollution than the Thai capital.
Numbeo’s mid-year 2016 Traffic Index is a composite Index of time consumed in traffic due to job commutes, estimation of time consumption dissatisfaction, CO2 consumption estimation in traffic and overall inefficiencies in the traffic system.
Ho Chi Minh City, the choice of many, actually comes bottom of the eight surveyed cities and has almost a third less traffic.
