Cape Town has officially become the sixth most congested city in the world, as revealed by the newly-released 2025 INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard.
An analysis of traffic conditions across 942 urban areas globally shows that the average driver in the Mother City lost a staggering 96 hours to traffic in 2025, an increase from 94 hours in the prior year, as per report from The South African.
This rise in congestion marks a worrying trend, with Cape Town moving up three places from its previous ranking of ninth in 2024.
