    Metro Manila was named as having the worst traffic in the world based on a survey of 50 million users of the GPS navigation app Waze in 32 countries. Manila scored extremely poorly on traffic levels and average commute times, which were used along with road quality, safety, driver services, socioeconomic factors, and the Waze community experience to calculate overall driver satisfaction for 167 major cities. Manila ranked near the bottom with the longest average commute time of 45.5 minutes and had the lowest socioeconomic score due to high gas prices and low car ownership.

    Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) Metro Manila, on an urban level, was

    named as having the "worst traffic on Earth," based on a global evaluation


    conducted by Waze, a GPS-based navigation app.
    Scores ranging from 10 (satisfying) to 1 (miserable) were assigned after
    examining 50 million Waze users in 32 countries and 167 major city areas.
    The answers were then evaluated for the Global Driver Satisfaction
    Index posted on Waze's website Tuesday (September 29).
    The Waze Global Driver Satisfaction Index were based on six key factors:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.

    Traffic level by frequency and severity of traffic jams


    Road quality and infrastructure
    Driver safety based on accidents, road hazards, and weather
    Driver services like access to gas stations and easy parking
    Socio-economic (World Bank) including access to cars and impact of gas
    prices
    6. Wazeyness, the level of helpfulness and happiness within the Waze
    community

    Worst traffic on Earth


    According to the survey, Manila, on a city level, ranked number one with
    the "worst traffic on Earth" with Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and Jakarta not
    far behind.
    Manila scored a measly 0.4 in the traffic index and the Philippines ranked
    as the ninth worst place to drive.
    The survey said Netherlands, Slovakia, Sweden, Czech Republic, and U.S.
    reported an easy and breezy driving experience.
    It said that globally, traffic or the lack of it is a key indicator of driver
    satisfaction.

    The Philippine government has proposed various ways to ease EDSA, a


    major thoroughfare in Metro Manila, such as the implementation of the
    Highway Patrol Group of the Philippine National Police to untangle traffic,
    the opening of alternate routes dubbed as Mabuhay Lanes, and the
    construction of modular steel bridges in five areas.

    Longest commute time


    Manila again topped the survey for the longest minutes spent commuting
    from home to office with an average time of 45.5 minutes. The survey
    recorded Jakarta with 42.1 minutes of travel time.
    In an exclusive story published earlier, CNN Philippines reporters traveled
    EDSA one morning and took 41 minutes via the Metro Rail Transit from
    North Avenue in Quezon City to Taft in Pasay City, and two hours and 15
    minutes via a bus ride.

    In half of the cities Waze analyzed, the average speed of cars on the roads
    were less than 63.15 kilometers per hour.

    Other key factors


    The Philippines ranked the lowest in the socio-economic index with a score
    of 0, which accounts for gas prices and access to cars or ratio of cars to the
    population.
    The country was the 13th country with the worst road quality, such as poor
    high-speed roads density and road issues density, with a score of 5.8.
    Filipino Wazers were the among the worst in the "Wazeyness" index, which
    records the gratitude and happiness by the Waze users.
    But it isnt all bad in the Philippines.
    The country scored the best country in the drivers' services among the
    surveyed countries. This means there are ample amounts of gas stations,
    car services, and parking lots.
    The Philippines is the fourth best in safety, according to the survey. Taken
    into account are the number of accidents, hazards, and weather.
