What criteria does this classification use to decide which cities are more or less rude? well preply breaks it down into 12 items, and some cities perform better in some and very bad in others. The final score is obtained by averaging.
The complete list of the rude behaviors and the cities that show the worst behavior in them is the following:
1. Being on the phone all the time in public: Saint Sebastian.
2. Do not let other cars pass when there is traffic: Granada.
3. Do not slow down when driving near pedestrian areas with pedestrians: Santa Cruz of Tenerife.
