Colombia has 111 cars per 1000 people and Bogotá has some of the worst traffic in the world and traffic is terrible in a lot of the country’s cities. But the United States has 806 vehicles per 1000 people, and yeah there’s traffic, but it isn’t eight times worse than Colombia. Where does traffic come from in low vehicle ownership countries?
