The traffic in Houston is a complete nightmare. Traffic jams and holdups are common and lengthy and there are a lot of crazy drivers (some drunk and on drugs). Road rage fights and shootings are pretty common. The worst part is that Houston is such a large urban sprawl with next to no public transportation. The bus system is pretty bad with relatively few bus stops and the buses themselves don't follow anything resembling a schedule and a lot of shady people ride them. The Houston Metro Rail only serves a small area downtown and a lot of troublemakers ride it.
