    5 work days should be about 40 hours.

    For 200 work days per year, that’s 1 hour per 5 days.

    That means they lose 6 minutes on their way to work and 6 minutes on their way back.

    Losing 6 minutes during traffic hours against optimum conditions, that should be better than EU average. That makes me want to move to Bucharest.

      Bucharest is actually a pretty cool city, enjoyed my time traveling there a lot! Obviously being a tourist or a resident in a city are two vastly different things lol

      EDIT: I liked Cluj more though 🤫

    Math is not adding up, there are 365 days in a year, removing weekends that’s 261 days. In Romania you have 20 days of AL guaranteed by law, plus there are 17 holidays but some fall on weekends so let’s say 10, for a total of 231 work days a year.

    A work day is 8 hours, so 5 working days a year are 40 hours per year. Dividing by the amount of days of work it’s 0.17h or 10:30minutes, considering people commute two ways that’s 5:15 minutes per trip stuck in jams.

    Sure, annoying, but definitely not economy shattering. But if they think so, maybe let people work from home, it would diminish the amount of cars on the road, and completely eliminate jams for some of the people.
