$266 million lost annually due to traffic jams in 30 largest cities

The traffic jams (tacos, as we know in Chile or elsewhere as “bottlenecks”) in the 30 largest cities in the world cost USD $ 266,000 million a year, said the latest study “Connected Mobility 2025? of the French consultancy Roland Berger Strategy Consultants , published a few days earlier in Spanish and February (in English)

According contained herein, the growing population in major urban areas in the world and the increase in traffic is leading to “paralysis” of these cities. Also notes that in these areas, approximately 180,000 people migrate to cities every day, which is “a huge challenge” for the Transport systems of these metropolitan regions. In this sense, it highlights that better integrating several transportation options would have a “positive effect” not only for the environment but also for the quality of life in big cities.

“Personal mobility is the key to success and prosperity of a country’s economy. But population growth and thus increasing traffic in major global cities lead to paralysis, “the study’s authors warn. The solution, they say, is “connected mobility”, ie bind data transport with transport modes.

“Although we live in an increasingly interconnected world, individual mobility remains largely fragmented at a critical moment, we lack information on how to get from A to B in the best way,” said Gustavo Lopes da Silva, a partner at Roland Berger.”The traffic jams (tacos, as we know in Chile or elsewhere as “bottlenecks”) in the 30 largest cities in the world cost USD $ 266,000 million a year, said the latest study “Connected Mobility 2025? of the French consultancy Roland Berger Strategy Consultants , published a few days earlier in Spanish and February (in English)
