This article tries to show the problem of vehicular congestion in the Pacific metropolitan Area (AMP), where Panama City is located. Three different calculations are made to express in arithmetic terms, the cost generated by the mobilization of workers who are located in three different points of the AMP, to observe the high cost of time and money caused by this problem. As a direct consequence, a low productivity of workers is generated due to the excessive time it takes them to travel from home to work and vice-versa, when they could use part of this time in other activities such as leisure, which would allow the development of this economic sector which currently have a limited supply.
