I used to commute from Miramar to Pompano Beach up i95 every day, 45min to 1:30 just to go 18miles.. So I don't see them that far off.

  But go to Miramar and look at how the heat is drawn. Huge swaths of area off the scales, and then north of that, inexplicably, is the heat again, saying that something five miles away is somehow 60 minutes, but nothing in between could be reached in 60 minutes. It just obviously does not represent an accurate commute time for the local area... it's some generic calculation done which they probably assumed was correct when they tested it because the one city they were looking at's traffic pattern correlated with their algorithm. And i'm not trying to give them a hard time, really. It's a neat visualization. But for me, practically, I couldn't use this to tell actual commute times, and I think that's apparent based on the other comments on here. You want my opinion? They should crowdsource taxi drivers. Who else would have a better idea what the traffic's like at any given time of day?
