don't you think that almost every car on the road has only one passenger?

nobody cares to carpool now; people have different plans after work - one heading straight home, one wants to go clubbing, another one has basketball training

the LRT and commuters, on the other hand, are too packed that sometimes you have to hold your breath so as not to blow to someone's neck

and the fact that almost everyone can own a car now makes it worse

even if you leave home early, the time spend on the road is the same (or maybe more if you leave at 7am; parents sending kids to school)..only if you leave veryy early, like 6am or you use the highway, you'll escape the queue..

the same goes after office hour..if you leave at 5.30 pm sharp, traffic is at its worst - so don't bother leaving office early

so people working in klang valley ended up spending more time in the office (and on the road)  than staying at home

....they aren't workaholics, it's the traffic jam!
