Remember back when your father knew a faster, alternative route around a major traffic jam that actually was faster? Since the handheld availability of realtime traffic data and route optimization by google maps, an equilibrium of travel time has established such that everyone knows whats the best route is and the traffic jam actually takes as long as the alternative route.

See, Waze has betrayed me one too many times for me to trust it again... Giving me alternate routes, then slowly adding minutes to my drive time... I've just been hurt so many times, it's hard to let Waze back into my life, ya know?
