I call BULLSH*T on my cakeday!

Feb 20, 2017 3:22 PM

I am calling BULLSH*T on my cakeday on this study. I'm in Atlanta and spend an hour and a half... 1.5 hours going to work. Same amount going back. 3 HOURS TOTAL in traffic everyday! I get Los Angeles' total in 34 days! and YES I realize they are saying this is an average BUT the average commute time here in Atlanta is 1 HOUR. AND I have driven in Los Angeles traffic. YES it is bad, BUT it is NOTHING compared to Atlanta traffic.

not just time, but distance and number of people are part of the equation

I can attest to that. The city area was designed by Evo Shandor to harness the rage of thousands.

Yeah but is that slow driving or literal traffic stop?

ALSO.. doesn't define what in traffic is. Maybe it means completelty stopped dead. Whereas you mostly move... 1km/hr so it wouldn't count.

It's hard not to be mean with a guy who can't figure out averages.

Have you studied Math, calculus, trigonometry, as well as accounting? Didn't think so. I understand how averages work!

Having been to Atlanta & LA, I can understand your belief. . . but LA is like 10× larger than Atlanta. So like 10× as many people

I am including the surrounding Metro-Atlanta area. You use that against the Los-Angeles Metro Area, it is close to same.

LA metro area, 13 million. Atlanta, 5 million. So no, not the same.

Hey you can read. Try reading more of that WIKI page and you see that the LA Metro Area is counting more places than the true metro area.

Nope, the OMB defines metro area. The 'Greater Los Angeles Area' is 18 million. That's what wiki is talking about.

BTW, enjoying the melt down! No, you aren't the only special snowflake with traffic problems. Yes, traffic sucks in a lot of places.
