46 minutes is a lot more than 20 minutes, and "up to 2hr" is doing a lot of work since Google says "typically 1-2 hr". And isn't London the city that instituted the ridiculous 20mph speed limit? So even if the 2 hours vs. 20 minutes were true there, I'd put London in the "artificially slow down cars" category.

It's taken me a full 75min to go 7 miles, the bulk of which was "expressway" The train gets me home in an hour, every time. I could bike and save even more time. Cars just don't move fast in cities.
