Jinan ranks China's most congested city

Xinhua, April 21, 2016 Adjust font size:

Jinan, capital of east China's Shandong Province, ranked as the country's most congested city during the first quarter, followed by Beijing and Hangzhou, a traffic congestion report showed Wednesday.

It is the second time that Jinan surpassed Beijing to be the most jammed city since the third quarter of last year, according to a report compiled by map service provider AMAP and a transport research center attached to the Tsinghua University.

Other top 10 of most congested cities include Harbin, Chongqing, Zhengzhou, Shenzhen, Guiyang, Kunming and Guangzhou.

Traffic congestion eased greatly during the first quarter, as large numbers of people working in cities traveled back to their hometowns to celebrate the spring festival, AMAP analyst Fang Yiduo said.

First-tier cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai see congestion reduce by 40 percent during the same period, Fang added. Endi
