Well some of this is because Cebu city does not have a freeway system like Manila does.

I question how Moscow isn't the worst, based on the traffic jams I've heard of.

Nitpick:
Quote from: driverindex.pdf, linked from story
#5. Greensboro, NC
#5. Avignon, France
#6. Reims, France
#7. Nimes, France

Rankings don't work that way. If two are tied for #5, then the next position is #7, not #6.

I question the same for Los Angeles traffic in US, but apparently Honolulu, Hawaii is worst than LA...

LA traffic is bad on freeways but comparatively good on parallel streets. You get different lists depending on whether you use total hours of delay (per weekday) or hours per mile, or hours per mile of freeway... Moscow is legendary for multi-hour jams during rush hours on both freeways and surface streets.
