During the pandemic, traffic in Latin American cities decreased, although many of them have continued to experience high levels of congestion. Which of these cities has the worst traffic problems?

ANSWER

Bogotá. According to the TomTom app, the capital of Colombia remains the city with the worst traffic congestion in the region, with a congestion level of 55% in 2021 (this means that the average travel time is 55% longer than under normal traffic conditions). It was followed by Lima, Recife, and Santiago. However, in 2021, congestion levels remained below those recorded before the pandemic. It remains to be seen how they will fare in 2022, following the end of lockdowns.
