Oh hey, it’s a new report on traffic. This summary by Dutch-based GPS provider TomTom studied congestion on 295 large city roads across the globe, and declared that Singapore’s traffic congestion levels dropped last year, as compared to the year before.
We went from being the 38th most congested city in 2014 to the 45th in 2015, TODAY said.
More details showed that in 2015, drivers spent 50 percent extra time stuck in traffic during morning peak hours, and 59 percent during evening jams. All this came up to 126 hours of extra travel time a year — that’s 126 hours of your life you’ll never get back.
But with more people buying cars, greater bus-lane restrictions and an increasing number of speed cameras on the road, does it really feel like our congestion levels have improved?
Apparently, netizens don’t think so.
Someone even tried to offer a solution.
