22 ‘productive’ days lost to jams – study

EACH individual, either as a passenger or a motorist caught in a traffic jam, loses a total of 528 productive hours or 22 days every year by sitting idly for at least two hours every day, according to a study.

In his six-page Road Use Rationalization Proposal submitted in November last year, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) member Ariel Inton claimed that since each person spends at least two hours every working day in traffic, a total of 44 hours are wasted per month.
