Commuting!

How long should it take to travel 30 kilometers? If we use the teletransporter imagined by Francisco at the The future is here! or not... post it should take no time. At an average speed of 120 kilometers per hour only 15 minutes, at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour half an hour. At a speed of 30 kilometers per hour an hour. So why the hell I need an average of an hour and an hour and a half to get to my job everyday? The answer is traffic jams and constructions all around the city. The fastest route to get to my job used to be the fast speed highway around Madrid called M-30. But now it is under construction because the city mayor wants to rebuild it, but this time underground. The result is some chaos and thousands of machines, some kind of paradise for some engineers but the hell for drivers. Here is a small sample of what I watch today: The M-30 inhabitants!
