Traffic congestion in Kuala Lumpur

I am now in Kuala Lumpur.

My friend complained about the traffic congestion. It takes him more than one hour to drive to the office and back, and the distance is quite short. He envied the traffic situation in Singapore, which he though was much better.

I told my friend that the many roads in Singapore are now quite contested. The situation has worsened in recent years. There are too many cars on the road.

It seems that many cities suffer from the same problem - inadequate public transport, too many private cars congesting the roads.
