ever been to Cairo?

yes,  went there once ... stayed at the Sherraton near the bridge ....

from memory, the traffic was very heavy there also ...

Both Delhi and Los Angeles are far, far worse. Bangkok has very good public transport. I can go days in Bangkok without dealing with traffic, because of the sky train, and the subway. I use taxis only at night, or on Sundays.

Bangkok is far from worst. India, China, etc, plus even the most orderly of traffic countries such as New York & LA can get very bad.

Agree Lagos is the worst but Maputo is fun also, Bangkok is meek in comparison.

[baneko]

Luanda very bad

What's the 'rule'? If a headline has a question mark on it then the general answer is 'No'.

 

Not even close to the worst traffic. I live in Dubai, it's shit and we're not even the worst in the region!

Bangkok's traffic was much worse in the late 80s and through the 90s.
