Worst Swiss Cities for Traffic Congestion Revealed

In the latest traffic report by Tom Tom, Swiss cities have shown mixed results in terms of travel durations. The data does not provide insights into the reasons for the duration differences among Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, and Bern compared to the previous year.

Zurich, the largest among the surveyed cities, ranks 80th, with a duration of 26 minutes for a 10-km distance in the city center, resulting in 94 hours spent in traffic annually. Both Zurich and Geneva have seen a 10-second increase in duration compared to the previous year, but motorists in Lugano and Bern gained some time in 2024, with their durations being 10 seconds shorter than in 2023.

Geneva, the second largest city, ranks 87th, with a duration of 26 minutes for a 10-km distance and 111 hours spent in traffic each year. Lausanne, a smaller city, is in the 180th place, with a duration of 21 minutes for a 10-km distance in the city center, resulting in 71 hours spent in traffic annually. Lugano, another smaller city, takes the 355th place, with a duration of 16 minutes for a 10-km distance and 60 hours spent in traffic annually. Bern, the smallest city among the surveyed, is in the 409th place, with a duration of 14 minutes for a 10-km distance and 36 hours spent in traffic each year.

It is important to note that the article does not provide information on the traffic conditions outside the city centers of Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, and Bern. Moreover, the data does not specify the specific construction sites or other factors contributing to the traffic jams in these cities.

The 2024 data from Tom Tom shows the slowest-moving traffic for 387 cities worldwide. Despite the increase in duration, Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, and Bern do not place in the top 10 slowest cities.

The report does not mention any other Swiss cities in the survey, other than Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, and Bern. London holds the number 1 spot for the slowest traffic among the cities surveyed.
