Munich / Stuttgart – Munich commuters continue to suffer the most from traffic jams. Although they lost less time in the Corona year 2020, with 65 hours over the year they were stuck in traffic jams for much longer than typical commuters in all other German cities.
That comes from an analysis published on Tuesday (March 9) by the Traffic data provider Inrix who examined annual congestion and mobility trends in more than 900 cities in 43 countries.
Munich is followed by Berlin with 46 hours, Nuremberg with 35 and Hamburg with 33. The Bavarian capital ranks 20th among the world’s traffic jam cities.
