My city, Warsaw (the capital of Poland), is being mentioned as the worst in the Europe. The commute here is really painful -- and we're only a ~2 million people city.
It's not unusual for a 10km bus trip to take over an hour. Commuting from the suburbs is even worse.
My guess, our greatest problem is the lack of carpooling culture. Rarely I see people sharing a car, usually it's just the driver.
I can only imagine how bad it is in Sao Paulo which is twice as densely populated.
- bryanlarsen 14y agoI think the only places with strong commuter cultures are those places that encourage them with high occupancy vehicle lanes.[1] Otherwise there's a strong free-rider problem. If I ride-share it benefits others but inconveniences me. [1] http://www.slug-lines.com/Slugging/About_slugging.asp http://www.slug-lines.com/Slugging/About_slugging.asp
