We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Your average traffic speed dropped from 21 km/hour to 7 km/hour in fifteen years - barely faster than walking speed already! Meanwhile you're out here bragging about being the business capital when crossing your city can eat half your day.
You've got hundreds of thousands of rickshaws, many times more than New York has yellow cabs, all competing for space with buses, CNGs, trucks, handcarts and cars on the same road. It's like watching the world's most chaotic game of bumper cars, except nobody wins and everyone's late for work.
Your traffic is so legendary that vendors have built entire careers selling peanuts and water to trapped commuters. When getting stuck in gridlock becomes someone's full-time job opportunity, you know you've achieved peak urban dysfunction.
Nothing says 'world-class dining' like street food you can only reach after navigating through medieval-level traffic chaos. At least the burnt corn vendors come to your car window - because who has time to actually walk anywhere in this city?
