I lived in Bangalore/Bengaluru for 2 years. Like most westerners there I had a company car with a paid driver. My commute to the office was 6 or so miles. I remember several occasions when I decided to walk home instead of sitting in the endless traffic - and beating our driver to our house on foot. Most of the people who worked in my organization had over 3 hour long commute - one way!

I think it’s safe to say that Boston traffic, while bad, is far away from being 4th worst in the world. The study basically covers cities in Europe and North America. I have a hard time believing Mexico City is better, but it’s been a while since I last sat in traffic there. There’s tens of cities in Asia with way worse traffic than anything I’ve seen in the west.
