Pointless Survey
Commuting surveys come out all the time and are suspect. Recently a survey came out saying Toronto had the longest commute time (including transit) in North America. This survey is only about driving and focuses mostly driver opinion which is pointless. Ask any urban planning consultant and they will tell you that locals find traffic bad regardless of how big their town/city is. It's the nature of the beast. Meanwhile, these surveys have to be clear on where they draw the lines on municipal jurisdictions. In this survey, where does LA start and end? Finally, I thought Toronto and Montreal had lower 'pain' marks because more people have been biking and walking which are happier modes... but alas, these were not included.
