I just looked up Houston's commute time and all[^1] the[^2] sources[^3] I found seem to say otherwise. I also found this[^4]: Apparently Europe's cities with the longest commute time have about the same commute time as Houston. Not to mention that Paris and Budapest have populations many times the size of Houston. ^1 https://houston.innovationmap.com/houston-worst-traffic-commute-time-smart-asset-2659481279.html https://houston.innovationmap.com/houston-worst-traffic-comm... ^2 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transportation/article/houston-commute-traffic-times-data-17025845.php https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transpor... ^3 https://houston.culturemap.com/news/city-life/03-04-19-houston-worst-traffic-commute-times-america/ https://houston.culturemap.com/news/city-life/03-04-19-houst... ^4 https://www.mynewsdesk.com/eurofound/news/budapest-paris-and-amsterdam-report-longest-commuting-times-among-eu-capitals-394279 https://www.mynewsdesk.com/eurofound/news/budapest-paris-and...

Here's your source: "The average commute time in Houston is 26.1 minutes" (^1). The average commute time for Berlin is 31 minutes, London is 47 minutes (https://www.timeout.com/london/news/london-is-only-the-sixth-worst-city-in-the-world-for-commuters-100722 https://www.timeout.com/london/news/london-is-only-the-sixth...), Paris area is 32 minutes, Madrid is 31 minutes. Population: Paris area is 12 million, Berlin is 4 million, Houston Area is 7.5 million, Madrid is 6.5 million. What am I missing?

  You're trying to compare numbers across different studies with different methodologies. The articles above show that Houston is consistently terrible for a given study. Also, the article you linked draws from an irrelevant page on businessnamegenerator.com (???). Is this a troll?
