I can believe this; as a regular drive from Sunshine Coast to Brisbane, it really is a shit show most of the time particularly on weekends in the wet coming to watch the Lions. Cant speak for other areas but regularly here how bad Brisbane traffic is from family and friends in other parts of the city

Glad I work from home now. I always found getting to work was mostly OK, but getting home in a reasonable time was a lottery. One incident at Greenslopes puts the city and southside in chaos.

I call . I would need to see the list, but from my limited experience, Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, Bangkok, Jakarta, Paris and London are all significantly worse. Along with the larger USA cities.

I would imagine quite a few cities in India and China are worse.

However, the one mitigating circumstance for many south East Asian cities is that, unless you have to travel for work, almost everything is available within one or two blocks of home, or within the local district.

Ho Chi Minh has 8 million people living in a city, the quarter of the size of Brisbane, by area.

If you expanded out to the merging districts for an equal area of Brisbane, there are 16 million people.

It’s literally 10km from my family’s home in Thu Duc to District 1, and it’s near enough a 1hour Grab (uber) ride or an hour++ bus ride.

And they’re building the new international airport out at Long Thanh. Great for us, but that’s going to be close to a 2 hour ride from the airport to the tourist district in District 1.

I quite enjoy watching this guys YouTube channel.
A video from 5 months ago so mentions Brisbane being 12th in 2023.

Brisbane worse traffic than Bangkok?

A City with one of the worst Public transport systems.
Go figure, one of the most congested too.
Everyone prefers to drive unfortunately.
