Would you pay to drive in the worst traffic in the world?

In My Humble Opinion (IMHO)
#1

I had this idea that people would actually pay for a trip, hotel and car rental to drive in some of the worst traffic in the world. The travel agent would provide a info packet telling the tourist where to start off and at what time and where to go. I would assume that morning rush time would be the busiest time.

I’m sure there would be people who are willing to take such a vacation, but would there be any issues from the cities with the congested traffic complaining that you are adding more cars? Would you take such a trip?

So, do terrible ideas come naturally to you, or is it a craft, like winemaking?

#3

A better challenge: **create **the worst traffic in the world by convincing enough people to go to a particular place and drive. Marketing is everything.

#4

No. What makes you think that someone would?

#5

People already do this. All the major Manhattan tunnels and bridges have tolls.

#6

It must have caught on, because Chicago has them too.

#7

Well, people do move to those places, although I have no idea why. Higher crime, air pollution, noise pollution, light pollution, higher cost of living, less elbow room, as well as shitty traffic obviously have a lot of appeal for a lot of people.

No… I would not pay money to drive in bad traffic. I would go 4 hours out of my way and take more pleasant back roads to keep away from the city. And I have.

Maybe people could take vacations where they stay in a prison. You could go to Marion Prison in Illinois and spend twenty-three hours a day alone in your cell. Be shackled and spend the one hour left in an exercise area alone. I would almost rather spend a week doing that, if I had books to read.

Sure, as long as I get to drive a car that handles like a Porsche and has the same invulnerability as a HMMWV.
