Jakarta obviously has crazy, terrible, soul crushing traffic. But do we have, as some have claimed in the past, “the worst traffic in the world”? Well, not according to the results of a new report by traffic app Waze, which shows there are 8 cities where drivers are even unhappier than in the Indonesian capital, including a few other urban centers in our archipelago.
Waze, a traffic app which collects real-time traffic data and reports from users across the globe, recently released the results of their second annual “Waze Driver Satisfaction Index”, which measures satisfaction based on a number of factors including traffic, safety and road quality.

Waze collected data from users in 38 countries and 235 cities. Based on that information, Jakarta came in #178 out of 186 for all of the cities ranked (there were only 186 places due to tied scores).
The index ranking is based on the average score of each factor used to determine driver satisfaction, and each factor is rated on a 1-10 scale, with ten equalling totally satisfied and one equaling miserable.
Jakarta earned a 3.37 rating in overall satisfaction, showing drivers here are pretty far towards the miserable side. That number was mainly brought down by the capital’s rock-bottom rating of just 0.6 in the traffic category. Surprisingly, Jakarta somehow scored a 9.8 in the safety category, but we guess it’s hard to get into accidents when you’re stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
So which are the eight cities that are unfortunate to have even unhappier drivers than Jakarta?

178: Jakarta, Indonesia; 3.37
179: Guatemala, Guatemala; 3.36
180: Cali, Colombia; 3.22
181: Surbaya, Indonesia; 3.14
182: Bandung, Indonesia; 3.00
183: Denpasar, Indonesia; 2.89
184: San Salvador, El Salvador, 2.85
185: Bogor, Indonesia; 2.15
186: Cebu, Philippines; 1.15

That's right, according to Waze Surabaya, Bandung and Denpasar all have more miserable drivers than Jakarta. On the other end of the scale, Valence, France had the highest driver satisfaction rating with a score of 8.81.
