Let’s face it, everyone thinks their town has the worst traffic in the Universe. But the truth is that this terrible situation happens in all parts of the world. Here are an example, the most traffic congested cities of the world.
10. Beijing
Beijing’s traffic problem got worse by a full eight percent in the last year. Drive time is so bad that whether its residents are traveling on highways or residential roads, they can expect an extra 40 percent extra drive time.
9. Taiwan
Though it’s only about 14,000 square miles (compared to the United States’ 3.7 square miles) Taiwan is still home to more than 23 million people. As a result, traffic freaking sucks; In Taiwan, residents incur nearly 46 percent extra travel time on average.
8. Rio de Janeiro
If you’re ever visiting Brazil’s liveliest town, don’t expect to get anywhere fast. At best, drivers can hope to encounter a mere 37 percent extra drive time when they’re on the highways (at non-peak hours).
7. Chengdu
For real, something needs to be done about China’s traffic problem, because Chengdu STILL isn’t the country’s last entry on the list. Drivers spend an average of 176 hours more than necessary stuck in traffic.
6. Istanbul
Istanbul is, the most populous (and popular) city in the country, which means that at certain times of the day, drivers can spend as much as 91 percent extra travel time in the car.
5. Bucharest
Romania’s capital city clocks in at a clean 50 percent average extra travel time for each of its citizens. Though the city has less than 2 million people, the morning and evening commutes are a real trial. During peak hours, drivers spend as much as 90 percent extra time in the car.
4. Chongqing
Chongqing really made a point of ruining its citizen’s commute in 2016. The Chinese city’s traffic problem increased 14 percent in twelve months, a metric that is way higher than any other city on this list.
3. Jakarta
Indonesia’s capital city is home to nearly ten million people and more than 26,000 miles of road. Unfortunately, it takes nearly twice as long as it should to get from one place to another in the city, thanks to the average 48 minutes of extra travel time citizens endure each day.
2. Bangkok
The traffic in Bangkok is so bad that people trying to get home or go out in the evenings can expect to face a drive time that’s more than one hundred eighteen percent longer than necessary.
1. Mexico City
Drivers now must endure an average 66 percent travel time, no matter what time of day they’re on the road. And if you have to head into traffic during rush hour, your best bet is to say a prayer and leave really, really early.
Does your city has a similar traffic issue?
Comment below!
1. Taiwan is NOT a City.. it's a Country.. Cities in Taiwan are: Taipei, New Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Tainan, Taichung......
2. Where is Dhaka? i spend 3 hours for a 20km distance @ Dhaka
I support Taiwan is an independent country..Leave alone the neighboring aggressor..
hi, Jeffrey, are you taiwanese? is it true that 10% of taiwan supports mainland china?
@@alickak8346 But the government of Taiwan does not want independence. It wants to BE China and wants to reoccupy Beijing as the government.
Lmao it’s not even internationally recognised as a country, get your facts right
i love Tawain people there so friendly
Bogotá is the worst traffic i’ve ever experienced and i’ve been to Bangkok
Also I believe Dhaka has one of the worst traffics in the world
I am living in dhaka. I totally agree with u
Mati Deges Apparently São Paulo is among the worst.
Moscow Russia is a really congested city as well
I would rather spend a lot more time queuing in traffic around others who practice good driving etiquette and appreciate the value of being civilised than I would otherwise.
Here in Jakarta, everyone on the road competes with each other instead of cooperating. That sort of mentality is just pitiful.
Sagacious Eagle You’re so right! I’m from Brazil, which doesn’t have the best traffic (especially in larger cities, as São Paulo and Rio), but Jakarta puts it in a whole new level. I lived in Indonesia for 2,5 years and was constantly challenged/annoyed/frustrated by the traffic dynamics in that country. Do not miss it at all!!
I've been to both Manila and Jakarta, and personally I found Jakarta worse. I think for Manila, if the roads became wider, the situation could be moderated, whereas for Jakarta, if the roads became wider, there would just be more chaos
Where is delhi, mumbai, bangalore, kolkata?
Those countries are worse than India
Sm my ques.🤷♂️
@@shivarahul-3387 but atleast they have an organized traffic not like india where people dont follow basic rules
Yeah I heard India’s traffic is really bad.
Nigeria
For those who are wondering why Bangalore is not there. The experts who came to measure Bangalore traffic is still stuck in traffic.
In India, cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore are also full of traffic.

#10 - *Taiwan*
My favourite city.
Once come and see Silk board junction in Bengaluru
You will immediately change the list😂
Sure bro
Right or see our majestic area🤣
😂😂😂
In Bogotá Colombia a single ride of 5 miles could take more than a hour...
I'm surprised metro manila is not on this list the traffic there must be improving if that's the case
its because we have public transports,jeepney,bus,mrt,lrt sea transport,taxi,if all people in metro manila ride cars ah we have problem
It's a nice detail that you included a photo from the zincirlikuyu metrobus station to Istanbul :)
You certainly forgot Manila - the Philippines in general - the roads are too narrow, they are often in bad condition, zoning laws have buildings right up to the road, so often no shoulders, if there were shoulders, the numerous motorcycles are LAWLESS - lane splitting and weaving through stopped and unstopped traffic (often with children riding with their arms around their waist - unbelievable), pedestrians cross the street without looking (just holding up a hand, not checking to see if you see them).
Often intersections have no traffic lights, no stop signs, and no traffic enforcers - causing a constant traffic jam. The only way to be the first in your direction to get through is to stick your nose into oncoming traffic and hope that they stop, and people tailgate that person so they can get through as well. This can stop traffic in one direction for long periods of time, until someone makes a turn or becomes hesitant, and then the other direction takes advantage and does the same thing. Often tailgating the lawless motorcycles is the only way for a car to get through. People stop traffic in both directions performing U-turns and K-turns on the narrow streets. If you are in a small parking lot at the side of the road, good luck getting out. Sometimes people with no other job hang out at parking lots, and when someone tries to get out, they walk into the traffic to stop it so you can get out, and they expect a tip for their service. If there is somewhere with worse traffic than this - bring it on. The general philosophy of a Filipino driver is "I want what I want, and screw you."
Jeepneys (inexpensive public transportation) stop at a moment's notice to pick someone up or lets someone off wherever - no predictable bus stops, often in the middle of the road, and often in a middle travel lane, with passengers crossing moving traffic to get in and out.
Driving standard transmission is quite frustrating, because of all the obstacles, you rarely get out of third gear. There are expressways where traffic is predictable, but not enough.
I love just about everything else about living here, but the roads and the traffic are unbelievably bad. I used to like driving - now it just causes anxiety. I do not want to be on the other side of a motorcycle accident because his or her life was not as important as their getting in front of me.
I am from Vietnam and I like Philippin
When there is a baseball game in my city at traffic hour, the traffic is soo bad because extra people are in the highway just to go to the game.
There are different reasons that causing bad traffic
1- the number of population is really high
2- the roads are really bad
Atlanta can get pretty bad sometimes
Yes no Manila.. congrats Philippines
Maliit pa ang trrafic pinas kumpara sa ibang bansa
Best channel for tourists and travel enthusiasts
I thought my LA traffic was bad. I’d take LA traffic anytime over these.
Johannesburg and cape town traffic is painful. it takes an hour and a half to do what should be a 20 minute journey
The București traffic is always busy especially at Piața Victoriei, always traffic day and night. No wonder is the Europe's top three congested area in Europe.
Haven't you heard of Philippines?
Heavy on rush hours, but not congested nor worst.
phillippines traffic is hours if three days you stuck thats traffic philippines dont have that
google first out traffic cannot be compare to others if you stuck in the traffic for three days in philippines then should be on the list
Philippines, the dark horse of the most traffic-congested countries
Not whole philippine has congested traffic, only in manila.
Hate those car manufactures. I rather use bicycle.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Roughly 380 hours in traffic every year. Home of the notorious HWY-401, North Americas biggest and most congested highway; a 16 lane ''basket weave'' express-collectors layout and carries an average of half a million people per day to and from Toronto's neighbouring city, Mississauga (5th largest city in Canada), and an endless sea of suburbs that stretch right across the entire Golden Horseshoe then towards Detroit. It is the only highway joining the A-20 in Québec and the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit with Toronto, North Americas 5th biggest city, smack in the centre, so there is a constant large volume of transport trucks at all times. One of North America's longest average daily commute times.
yeah toronto traffic sucks
401 being so wide is still horrible, one other thing to add is that the don valley parkway and gardiner expressway, though closer to downton are 3 lanes either direction.
Bangkok is possible to worst traffic by 97-114%
WOW!!!! There's no Manila HAHAHAHA jokeee but it's good that the traffic in Manila is lessining HAHAHA
It's not a joke. Your Manila traffic is nothing compared to other cities. You need to broaden your knowledge not only knowing about pinoy.
Have you ever traveled to another country?
Yes Manila has bad traffic like many other big cities in the world but you can't compare it to some other cities
WHERE IS DHAKA ?!?
@@sbaurora2216 dhaka
@@sbaurora2216 that's actually good Philippines is not here
Looking at the level of traffic shown in the video, Lagos, Nigeria traffic looks like child play.
Toronto Canada is home to North America’s busiest highway. Should be on the list
it has the hwy 401 which is the busiest.. But the whole city traffic isn't that bad!! From where I came to Canada ( Bangalor,India) It rly has a lot of traffic, but it isn't listed here though!!
My brother said 6am traffic in Jakarta is infinatly worse than rush hour traffic in London(uk), wow !
nice video bro, please do a video about Brazil
I can't imagine how often they have to spend getting gas or how many gas stations they have.
Private vehicle ownership has diminishing returns on utility as the car population increases. Need more public transport options like metro systems.
I live in Belgium, so yes, our conditions are like this.
Lanzhou in Gansu province, China, was the worse traffic I've ever seen back in 2016. That coincided with a subway building program with 1/2 the streets dug up.
You said cities - so what's Taiwan doing here?
Bengaluru, karnataka, India, world's most traffic city by 75% worst traffic.
I'm from Jakarta and the traffic is horrifying I usually take like 30 min to go to my grandmas house but it took 2 hours :(
You are missing Bogota- Colombia, the city with the worst traffic in the entire world, people spend around 300 hours yearly in traffic
No laws and no orders direct the dumbbell to keep more room apart from 0 mile to local post or interstate post.
Im from Istanbul and the longest time i was in the traffic jam was over 8h ...
Nereden nereye gittin??!
Dhaka, Bangladesh has similar traffic issues in this 10 cities on the list
I’m in Bangkok taking a taxi, and the traffic really sucks, OMG
I can confirm the congestion from Bucharest on peek hours 10 km can take 2 hours. I really can t imagine a more congested city than this but i guess IT can be worst.
Goddamn
Yes there’s a lot of traffic around where I live
It was a lot more traffic than I was expecting
noone can beat Dhaka's traffic.
Any city in Bangladesh or India has really bad traffic.
agree
Same as within the mile and block with 1 car empty space apart or less in peak hour or bad weather from 0 mile - post speed or above post speed. That lead to ineffective speed lead road way over crowded. The main road drivers screw up the running lane or lanes.
I feel privileged so for where I live. I often give out when my commute across the city from work takes me 30-40 minutes and not 20 minutes.
Johannesburg, South Africa is missing on this list😔
Nothing that Road Diets, Trams, Metros, Trolleybuses, bike lanes, Pedstriation, BRT's and even High Speed Rails can solve. Don't count add another lane as induced demand is why this list even exists.
These drivers lack courtesy. You need to remove them for 6 months and 1 year without driving.
Istanbul was soooo hard to drive
Wow Atlanta’s not on here😂😂
Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, roads of these cities are buisier than all these cities in the list
Left Bangalore
@@kushgamer2220 yes bengaluru too is very crowed and busier same as mumbai delhi etc
I hate Bengaluru traffic
Hyderabad traffic also
Cairo also should be in this list, I’ve been there once and traffic there was...omg 😐
Yes..
*1 - Bangladesh*
*2 - Bangkok*
*3 - Mexsiko city*
*4 - Manila*
*5 - India*
Bangladesh and India are not cities.They are countries
I live in Jakarta
#1 My hometown Lakeland Florida!
What about Cairo Egypt? I'm not Egyptian but I've seen videos and it's a mess.
Dont forget Kuala Lumpur. Im from the Philippines and the traffic in Kuala Lumpur is horrible.
Nope, traffic in KL just normal not really horrilbe than other ASEAN country. For me 1.bangkok 2.manila 3.jakarta 4.ho chi minh.
U need to add Dhaka, Bangladesh
Oh I love EDSA "so much". Folks try to go to the Philippines and also don't forget to travel to EDSA hahahhahahahah
this narrator is a nitwit
Pretty sure the US is larger than 3.7 square miles.
It's Funny , Where the hell was Mumbai India
Please do a vid of what not to do in LITHUANIA please I'm your biggest fan
I'm surprised to not see Brussels here.
Woah Los Angeles is not on the list :/
This a perfect top 10 outside India/Pakistan/Bangladesh
Fir cities and town. Jone 25, 35, 45, 125ft, 135ft, 145ft. In peak hour rain and snow. Keep more apart. Or make jam and slam.
Taiwan is a country, not a city. I think the name of the largest city is Taipei.
Where is banglore? It has the highest traffic in the world ,drivers spend more than 256 hours in their car in a year struck in traffic.
I was so confident that Dhaka will be on top. The content creator doesn’t have the knowledge he required to make a video on this matter. I am from Dhaka, Bangladesh 🇧🇩. It takes 3 hours to travel 15 km here. Sometimes you have to stay at the same place for 2 hours due to traffic jam.
Agree
It is like you have not heard about Lagos before
Dhaka is the worst city 4 traffic jam.it takes 4 hours to travel from one side to another side of the city during pick our.
Dhaka city population is 23 million.
fiji too has too much traffic
Come to lagos and see the worst of traffic, 1hr for a 3km journey
I have travelled 64 countries till today but the worst experience was in the.roads of Mumbai,india
İstanbul traffic is why i got an automatic E46
Thanks God Dhaka is not there
It was in the jam 🤣
In the capital city of Manila in the Philippines. Traffic is more worse than Mexico City that going to the airport from my house takes 2-3 hrs.
Jakarta has the worst traffic in my country
surprised more citys dont adapt a central Manhattan strategy of no body owning cars, taxis and busses everywhere
Every 5:00 in Arkansas the inter com traffic gets real big. =p
Rio de Janeiro ? No way
I don´t know how does Bogotá do to get rid of appearing in this list.
What's about dhaka?
Dhaka is worst than those cities.
Here after the article that Bangalore, India, is the most traffic congested city in the world
im from beijing and once a Uber driver complained State college PA ‘s crazy congestion lmao
That's funny.. 😆 Quant little State College (42K) vs. Beijing (over 22 Million) .. Wonder if he gave up his Uber career? 😅
@@bearpawz_ once he got a Uber job here in Beijing he might regret quitting such a easy job in PA
I didn't know it was that nasty
Please make a video about Slovakia is a beautiful landscape.
Banglore,Pune,Mumbai,Delhi r in the list now as per new survey
Is this something to be proud of?😂😂😂
Same in the US. That what I knew. We need to have more camera and more electronic sign to direct speed high and low for keep apart. For people change lane and people merging and who can move or who must wait on major road hwy as all of them gridlock traffic in our country.
After watching this I'll stop complaining of driving here in Monterrey México.
How did ya forget Nyc
where is saigon vietnam
Do you know what is Dhaka?
Bulacan
Neueva ecija
Angeles Pampanga
San Fernando pampanga
Almost whole Philippines except ocean...
Traffic jams in San Fernando pampanga is worst at rush hour.
Route 8 in ohio between akron and stow is garbage. Always dead stop traffic during rush hours
0:03 except my town lol 😂 there has never been a jam in my town cuz it legit has 2,000 people
I’m thankful Manila,Philippines is not here because manila is one of the most dense city in the world
ya because we have public transport if all people ride cars ah we have problem
Manila's traffic is only heavy during rush hours but not totally congested nor worst.
@@mattimori3361 agree!... Its best to pass by Edsa during 12noon... If one has a choice that's the best time other wise accept it. Use waze some how helps.
One city that was missing is mysuru, India I visited there and I was in so much traffic we had to walk to a hotel for the night
Manila traffic is worst here💀
