Munich –
Commuters in the Bavarian capital continue to suffer the most from traffic jams. Although they lost less time in the Corona year 2020, with 65 hours over the year they were stuck in traffic jams for much longer than typical commuters in all other German cities.
This emerges from an analysis published on Tuesday by the traffic data provider Inrix. It is followed by Berlin with 46 hours, Nuremberg with 35 and Hamburg with 33.
The world’s largest loss of time due to traffic jams in Bucharest
Places five to ten in the traffic jam ranking are occupied by Leipzig with 31 hours, Freiburg (30), Hanover (28), Düsseldorf and Bremen (27 each) and Stuttgart (26). In all of the cities examined in Germany, the measured loss of time compared to driving on the open road on typical commuter routes fell – most notably in Frankfurt / Main and Düsseldorf, where commuters lost 23 hours less each, and in Munich with a decrease of 22 hours.
Inrix recorded the world’s highest time loss due to traffic jams this year in the Romanian capital Bucharest with a time loss of 134 hours. It is followed by Bogota in Colombia with 133 hours ahead of New York and Moscow with 100 hours each. Munich ranks 20th worldwide.
