Sao Paulo: TRAFFIC

By all accounts, traffic in Sao Paulo has gotten worse and worse as the population has grown both in number and in prosperity. From personal experience on a couple of trips, it is pretty painful. It is estimated that an average of 850 new cars are added to the roads of Sao Paulo every day. The number one complaint of many Paulistas is the traffic. While dedicated bus lanes, a growing metro system and constantly improving transit mean taking transit is typically faster, even commuting by transit still takes over an hour each way, every day, for most.
