\"\"Dublin is one of the worst cities in the world to be a driver, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

A new report from motor data company Inrix shows commuters spent almost 250 hours stuck in cars in the city last year.<\/p>\n

That is the equivalent of more than 10 full days for commuters in Dublin which came in at 52nd out of more than 200 cities in the rankings.<\/p>\n

Moscow topped the rankings ahead of Istanbul in Turkey and Bogota in Colombia.<\/p>\n

Professor Brian Caulfield from Trinity College says there are many reasons why people are choosing to take their cars.<\/p>\n

Professor Caulfield said: “If there were more options available, then people would have more viable alternatives to make them get out of their car and on to public transport.<\/p>\n

“When it comes to more investment in lanes the city center, space for cars in the city center, that’s not there. One of the things I always say is that we have a space problem when it comes to transport.”<\/p>\n
