Good work!

p.s. Being stuck 20 mins in a traffic jam aint bad. In New Delhi, it can be hours. Even in Toronto, 1-hour jams are not uncommon.

Thank you! That can be so frustrating and inconvenient especially during emergencies. I'm glad that it doesn't happen as often here except during peak times in certain areas.
