For all of you who say the traffic is too much.
Realize its a little old, but still.

Inrix estimates Omaha's 877,000 residents spend less than an extra 1% driving time traveling to their destinations during rush hour vs. going during non-rush periods.

I find this hard to believe...

Agree Completely that that stat is off.

For a 20 Min drive that 1% would only add 12 seconds to the drive.

I remember a story a few years ago that had stats showing congestion of the largest cities in the US and Omaha was one of them. I can't find the article now, but sometimes with these articles, they can get the stats to say whatever they want them to say.

And 47 percent of people know that.

Yeah, and how many statisticians does it take to change a light bulb?
