All who lives in metropolis like São Paulo or Bangalore, feel everyday the energy loss and stress what the daily transportation is causing. For many who have not experienced this, it is even difficult to imagine. Drivers are like fighters, trying to take an advantage over each others to shorten the time it takes to to get work or back to home. Many professionals are spending 3–4 hours per day in traffic, just to transport themselves 20 km to work and back home. Even worse when there has happen accident or flooding somewhere nearby, time spent can easily double. For me it was weird to drive in Finland after I came back from São Paulo. Time to drive 30 km takes about 30 min and almost everyone is driving according the rules, doing their best to make traffic flow smoothly. Definitive one advantage of living in small country with good infrastructure (photo). Quality of life .. more time for family.
