Christmas travel delays on deck for return home [Fox Business]
December 26, 2019
Americans traveling Thursday and Friday after Christmas should expect double and even triple the traffic delay times in some cities, according to a recent report by transportation analytics company INRIX.
More than 104 million Americans are expected to drive to their destinations — a 3.9 percent increase since last year — causing worse delays than the four days leading up to Christmas, INRIX reported.
“Travelers should be getting used to crowded highways and airports, as this marks the eighth straight year of new record-high travel volumes for the year-end holidays,” Paula Twidale, vice president of travel at AAA, said in a statement.
