British writer Bill Bryson once wrote that "London is a city of endless possibility" — and perhaps, endless traffic?

The UK capital is the most congested city in Europe, according to transport analytics company Inrix.

The company looked at data from different cities around the world, and found that drivers in London spent an average of 101 hours sitting in traffic in 2024. That's up from 99 hours in 2023, and 97 hours in 2022.

According to Inrix, these delays cost the city more than $4.8 billion a year — or about $1,200 for each of London's 4 million drivers.

Inrix says London's bad traffic congestion is caused by the "concentration of population, employment and economic activity."

But although it's Europe's most congested city for the fourth year in a row, London has improved in the global rankings. It was third in the world in 2023, but is now in fifth place globally. It is still, however, the only European city in the top five.

Istanbul has jumped to first place, up from sixth, with drivers in the Turkish city spending an average of 105 hours in traffic per year.

New York and Chicago are next on the list, followed by Mexico City in fourth place.

Inrix also calculated each city's "downtown speed" — that is, the speed at which a driver can expect to travel 1.6 kilometers in the center of the city during morning rush hour.

For each of the top five cities, the downtown speed was under 25 kilometers an hour.

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about a new sport. This sport is growing, and it is very similar to golf. However, this is disc golf. So disc golf is like golf, except for you use a disc and instead of holes there are baskets and you will see the baskets with these chains hanging down and with a kind of a bucket thing.

And you throw the disc or the Frisbee into the chains. And then that counts  like putting the ball into a hole in golf. So the sport is great because there are a lot of free courses that you can play disc golf or Frisbee golf in. And just like golf, there are usually nine or 18 holes or baskets.

And the goal is to throw the disc, the Frisbee into the basket with as few throws as possible. So, for example, like in golf, you might have a course that is like par, par three. It takes three shots to get it into the hole So the same thing with disc golf, you have a par three course or par four.

So you're trying to get the disc into the basket in three throws or less. Now, some of the challenges with the disc golf courses are trees or obstacles. So sometimes the course will have a tree in the way and you'll have to throw the disc in a way that the disc curves around and goes around the tree so that you can get a clear look at the basket. Another interesting thing is that the discs are made of plastic according to Wikipedia.

Here it says that the discs are made of polypropylene, which is a thermoplastic polymer resin. So it's a very dense plastic And they're smaller in size than a Frisbee that you think of. Like from when I was a kid, I remember the Frisbees were quite large. But these Frisbees are small and there are different Frisbees for different throws.
