As if a burning truck full of beer wasn't enough, the Bay Area's Metropolitan Transit Comission has just released numbers showing that local commutes are taking 4% longer than before, and ranked the area's top 10 traffic jams. (It's a .pdf, but you're probably used to waiting for things by now!)

So here's your top 10: 1) 80 into the city in the mornings; 2) 580 westbound through Livermore in the a.m; 3) 580 going back to Livermore in the afternoon; 4) 80/101 in SF to the bridge in the afternoon; 5) 92 across the San Mateo in the p.m., 6) Highway 4 going west in the afternoon; 7) 101 South from the North Bay to 580 in the morning; 8) 101 N in Marin to 580 in the afternoon, 9) 101 N from 280 into Santa Clara in the morning; and 10) 80 eastbound in the p.m. from Treasure Island into Oakland.

We really like how they rank these like the American Top 40 -- 80 west in the morning is number 1 for the FIFTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR! Cracking the top 10 for the first time! The San Mateo Bridge at number 5! 101 in Marin (8)! 101 in Santa Clara (9)! 80 E. past Treasure Island (10)! Bumped from last year's top 10: the Caldecott, 880 N in the afternoon, 101 S from SF to Palo Alto in the afternoon, and 580 in the evening! Sixth-ranked Highway 4 starts backing up by 5:30 a.m.! On the bright side, everyone says this must be a sign that the economy is picking up.
