Manila has been named the top city with the worst traffic in the world for 2023.
According to the TomTom Traffic Index’s report last year, Metro Manila’s traffic level was 52 percent, meaning drivers and commuters spend half their time in traffic than in normal circumstances.
The city’s average travel time per 10 kilometers was reported to be 25 minutes and 30 seconds. That is a 50-second increase from 2022’s 24 minutes and 50 seconds.
