TomTom has ranked the top cities with the most traffic globally, including 13 Canadian cities. According to TomTom, the Canadian city with the most traffic isn’t Toronto, but Vancouver, which is ranked 69th in the world.
According to the research, people spend an average of 27 minutes per 10km travelling and 86 hours in rush hour per year.
Following Vancouver, Toronto has the most travel time per 10km, and people spend 77 hours in rush hour per year. This is an increase of 1 minute and 20 seconds from the previous year. And when I would assume Montreal or Calgary would be the next city on the list, it’s surprisingly the east coast city of Halifax, which has a 24-minute average travel time per 10km, only one minute less than Toronto.
The next 10 on the list are Winnipeg, Montreal, London, Edmonton, Calgary, Hamilton, Quebec City, Waterloo and Kitchener. As you can see from the list, the biggest problem might be Ontarians, as six of the 13 cities on this list are in the province.
TomTom said it derived this information from mobility data from more than 500 cities across six continents and examined 737 billion kilometres worth of trips.
The world’s worst cities for traffic are Barranquilla, Colombia; Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Pune, India; and London, U.K.
