MANILA, Philippines — Manila just gained worldwide notoriety anew for being the country with the worst traffic condition according to a new survey by traffic navigation app Waze.
In the first-ever Global Driver Satisfaction Index, Manila ranked the lowest score in Traffic Index at 0.4 (lowest score is one). The city of Rennes in France ranked first, followed by Greensboro and Grand Rapids in the US.
“On a city level, Manila reported the worst traffic on Earth,” Waze said.
The Philippines as a country also ranked last in country rankings with a similar score of 0.4. The best country to drive was Netherlands, followed by Slovakia, and Sweden.
The traffic index rating came from data indicating traffic jam length, time of commute to home and work, and speed at rush hours.
Manila and the Philippines also ranked last, with a score of 0, for the Socio-economic Index, which relies on data on gas prices, such as impact on gas price on living, and access to cars, which compares ratio of cars to population.
Waze said they based the study from the driving experience of their 50 million users across 32 countries.
