The team of the popular driving application Waze has evaluated the driving experience of 50 million users in 32 countries and 167 metro areas to create the world’s first “Driver Satisfaction Index”, a single numerical score from satisfying (10) to miserable (1), the company informs LETA.

The 'Waze Driver Satisfaction Index'' is based on six key factors: traffic level by frequency and severity of traffic jams, road quality and infrastructure, driver safety based on accidents, road hazards and weather, driver services like access to gas stations and easy parking, socio-economic – including access to cars and impact of gas prices, and “Wazeyness” – the level of helpfulness and happiness within the Waze community.
