Could have read 31 books instead 📚
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16 — Do you think driving to work and getting stuck in traffic jams in Kuala Lumpur is a waste of time? Time that could be better spent doing other things such as reading books?
You would also have had to grow 83 trees over a year to offset or absorb the 833kg of carbon dioxide emitted by your petrol-guzzling car during those peak hours, with 180kg of such carbon dioxide emissions resulting from traffic jams alone. TomTom's calculations are based on the assumption of Kuala Lumpur drivers making a 10 km trip during the busiest hour in the morning and cover the same distance during the busiest hour in the evening, and totalled up over an assumed 230 working days per year.
TomTom's data showed that the worst rush hour in the week in Kuala Lumpur would typically fall on Thursdays during the 6pm to 7pm slot, where it would take 25 minutes 20 seconds on average to drive 10km in the city centre area.
