Stuck In Traffic

  • Posted by: Morgan Clendaniel

GOOD is, as you may know, based in L.A. which means our staffers spend a lot of time in their cars. How much? A new report released today says 72 more hours than the average American driver. That’s because of the crippling traffic in the city, the worst anywhere in America. Last year, American traffic has caused us to spend 4.2 billion hours in our cars and pay more than $78 billion for 2.9 billion dollars of extra fuel. How’s that hybrid sound now?
