The gridlocked streets of Jakarta, Indonesia, often leave commuters in buses, cars, and motorcycles stranded for hours.

According to a study published this year by Castrol, Jakarta drivers had more stops and starts than drivers in any other city.

The average driver in Jakarta has to stop 33,420 times per year more than twice the number of New York.

Bangkok, Thailand, is known as one of the world's most congested cities.

A traffic jam is pictured in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

The city is known for experiencing heavy traffic jams and long waits, so much so that a 2013 documentary titled "Cairo Drive" focused solely on the topic.

They leave home as early as 4:00am and get to work late after 8:00am.


In Nigeria, locals refer to traffic jams as "go-slows," and they are said to occur at any given moment throughout the day.

Lagos, Nigeria.

With what I have seen so far on the thread, I can confidently say that Lagos is not the worst city in the world in terms of traffic congestion and standard of living. We are enjoying mehn.

I can't imagine myself going to work everyday in that overcrowded passenger trains, I will just leave the work and go to farm.

do you guys see why a cleansing is necessary, the wicked elite knows it and they gat something for the world, google Georgia Guidestones then after the wicked elite depopulates then Most High will depopulate the remnant of the wicked.If you dont have a purpose in this life, you dont have any business being on earth.Yall need to quit spewing babies out and no all children are not a blessing, some/most are curses/cursed.
Isaiah 13:11 KJVS
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir . in other words man/woman will be
very scarce and rare upon the earth

No one enjoys having to go to work in the mornings, especially if they have a commute from hell.

And that's precisely what these are.


Traffic jams and road congestion is something that everybody has to deal with either daily or at some point in their life.

Whether you are going to work, or coming back home, catching a train, making the school trip to drop off the kids, doing some shopping, travelling or simply trying to commute to work, busy roads can be incredibly frustrating.

100 people on a bus or train thats meant for 20 or sitting in your car and moving along as a snail’s pace is something that nobody enjoys.

However, over the past decade or so the problem has grown much worse.

A bigger distribution of wealth and cheaper cars mean that more people can afford to own a vehicle and with roads rarely being expanded or improved, they can’t keep up with the growth.

The problem is even worse in developing countries where until a few years ago, only the very wealthy could afford to drive.

Coupled with occasional treacherous storm or natural disaster, this has led to some truly incredible traffic jams that have caused more than a slight delay.
