Just came back from India and I would easily bet against India overtaking the US by 2030. It took me 45 min to travel 3km during rush hour.

Ha! I had a similar experience in the valley (mountain view) during an interview. Took me 15 minutes more, and I got late for my first round.

Driving in NYC is out of the question any time of day.

Fortunately, you can get around NYC reasonably quickly without driving.

Same applies to lots of cities in India as well, like Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.
