So, I’m sure we’re all too familiar with how Malaysian traffic can be, but it looks like some of us are more lucky and satisfied with the traffic than others!
Waze’s 2017 Driver Satisfaction Index, which examined the driving experience of millions of Waze users from 39 countries and 217 cities, ranked Malaysia in 21st place.

Waze also ranked the best places to drive based on driver’s satisfaction by looking at several factors like traffic, safety, driver services, road quality, socio-economics and “Wazeyness”.
The study’s findings, which were shared with WORLD OF BUZZ via press release, were further broken down into driver satisfaction among Asia Pacific countries as well as different parts of each country.
In the Asia Pacific region, Malaysia was placed 2nd below Australia in terms of driver satisfaction.
