what city in Europe has the worst traffic and why?


Brussels

1/2 the new cars, and 15% of all cars, were given to employees as company cars, it's cheaper than a raise, because taxes

Belgians are said to prefer to live far from cities

train transport is reported to be getting worse, strikes, delays, and cheap parking for cars in the city all add up to people using their cars, and not carpooling or taking the trains

bad road and highway network design

and, they can't dig more tunnels, mice/rats ate the master plans for the bridges and tunnels
