"Researchers at Duelbits ranked the 50 most populous U.S. cities across eight factors tied to holiday travel, including traffic time, rush hour delays, accident rates, flight performance, tire trouble, road quality and the chance of snow. New York scored 8.9 out of 10, putting the town firmly in first place. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Miami round out the unfortunate top five, but New York comes out on top by a full half point."
"Traffic is the city's main issue. Drivers in New York lose an average of 30 percent extra time to congestion. They also lose an average of 98 hours each year to rush hour. That is the longest delay in the entire study and 61 hours more than the national average. Anyone who has tried to cross midtown during peak holiday season will understand."
