Editor's Notes
- #10 Looking at data from 50 million users in 32 countries and 167 metro areas, Waze put Manila dead last. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 described as “miserable” and 10 being “satisfying,” Manila scored a 0.4. I know I was miserable: a journey of 3 miles, a typical distance from my house to popular meeting spots in the city, would take close to two hours.
