I started from the worst, backward from the article. Rounding out the dirty dozen are:

1. Los Angeles
   
2. Honolulu, HI
   
3. San Francisco
   
4. Austin, Texas
   
5. New York, NY
   
6. Bridgeport, CT
   
7. San Jose, CA
   
8. Seattle, WA
   
9. Boston, MA
   
10. Washington, DC
    
11. Miami, FL
    
12. Chicago, IL

I can't figure out how Pittsburgh ranked only #40 with an average annual loss of hours totaling 12.4 hours. It seems I waste close to an hour in front of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel every time I go there and I'm not a daily commuter, maybe about one round trip per MONTH.

How can Austin be ranked 4th worst and NYC be ranked 5th worst when drivers in Austin waste 40.5 hours per year in traffic and those in NYC waste 53.1 hours a year in traffic?

#10 Washington D.C. drivers also waste 40.5 hours per year.

Who's doing the calculations for this list?

If it’s rush hour I go to the airport (from Westmoreland county) via New Stanton and Washington. 80 miles versus 50, moving versus creeping along.

Didn’t see Fort Lee.

You know a list I would like to see is Quality of Life quotient. Not sure how you could measure it but traffic would be one of the things included. Maybe there is such a list and I just don’t know of it. My #1 would probably be an island somewhere with a liquor store and Wegmans grocery store.

Note that every one of the worst dozen cities are governed by Democrats.

I've been on the Deegan Expressway and the Triborough during morning rush and on the 405 during afternoon rush.Neither one was a whole lotta fun.

I won’t scroll through 50 but somebody paid somebody off to not include Houston in the top 10. I spent over 6 hours last Thursday getting to downtown and back on 290 and I-10.
