Pakistan’s Karachi city is ranked the thirdworst city for road rage in 2019, according to a global index. Auto parts retailer Mister Auto’s 2019 Driving Cities Index examined the safety records of 100 cities worldwide and scored them out of 100.

The Mongolian city of Ulaanbaatar received the worst score with 99.12, followed by Russia’s Moscow with

98.46 and then Karachi with 98.13. Kolkata placed fourth with 97.80 and Nigeria’s Lagos fifth with 97.47. The study included a poll of

6,000 drivers to understand aggressiveness and general driving culture. It rated the cities based on 15 factors, including congestion levels and public transport availability. It noted that Mumbai has the worst congestion followed by Kolkata and Ulaanbaatar.

Public transport was assessed on accessibility and affordability in a metropolitan area.

The researchers also examined air quality levels to determine each city’s commitment to providing fresh air and good visibility for its drivers and citizens. In this category, Lagos

(1.00) had the worst score followed by Karachi

(25.09), Beijing (26.05), Ulaanbaatar (29.44) and Mumbai (34.18).
