It is around 6 km from my house to my office. it is not convenient to take a bus for going, and one more, i really don't like going by bus in hanoi, it is very crowd.
So that I drive my motorbike going to the office, going out to meet friends, going to school, ect, go to anywhere inside hanoi, i drive motorbike.
However, nowadays, there are too many traffic jams in hanoi at any time, especially when people go to work in the morning and go home in the evening. Sometime, i stuck in traffic jams for 1 hour, shorter is 15~ 30 mins. Many motorbikes, cars around, and all have to go very very slow, for every cm moving forward. Can't breath fresh air, I also cant get out that traffic jam, because cant go back my bike also. It is so frustrating!!! but I have no choice, many people in that traffic jam are same, keep moving forward every cm...In that time, I try to listen music on my phone to kill time or just think back about happy things with a purpose... to forget the current situation, but sometime i am still very unhappy, tired, bored with it.
Have you ever stuck in bad traffic jams like me? what do you do at that time when you can't get out of the traffic jam immediately?

of course..
2 years ago, when iam working in Jakarta, indonesia capital..
jakarta is familiar with traffic jam, flooding...
and the normally only takes 30 minutes, when in jakarta can spend more than 1.5 hours..it is not easy for solving the traffic jam problems..
so when you are trapped in traffic jam, just enjoy..
you can`t do anything when you are under traffic jam..

hihihi, i can't enjoy traffic jams at all, it is not fresh since i drive a motorbike, so noisy also, it will be disaster if in summer time or in raining...but for sure we have no choice...should be patient only.
Spending 1 or 2 hours in traffic jams is really a big problem. I really hate traffic jams..

Oh, if you go by bus, then traffic jam is not big problem at all because we can seat on there with air-con, listening music...and see the others on street waiting on their motorbike...When you drive a car, it is much better also
If it will be disaster when you drive a motorbike...

No, i don't want to go out at rush hours also, but sometime i have to go because of work. Poor me...I have to be patient when being stuck in bad traffic jam, listening music like you too. But honestly, it is so tiring, i just hope and hope to get out of traffic jam as soon as possible.

The same is the situation in many of the Indian cities like Delhi,Mumbai etc,BUT in most of the towns traffic is comparatively less and the people residing there rarely come across traffic jams.I am residing in a village and because of that I am least concerned about traffic jams.
In Delhi the officials go by bus.That will reduce the traffic jam in the cities.
U can go in bus,mate.

oh no, I wont go by bus in my city. It is always too crowd, and have to stand whole time of the trip also. if unlucky, my phone, my wallet may be gone by thief. My sis used to lose her phone on the bus.
I rather get traffic jams when drive a motorbike than going by bus inside the city...:(
