If you thought travel before the holidays was bad, today is expected to be even worse.

Statistics from AAA suggest the combination of post-holiday travelers returning home, as many commuters head to work, could create a perfect storm on public transportation and the nation's roadways.

Major metro areas like Los Angeles and New York City are expected to experience double the typical delays during peak travel hours of 3-7 p.m.

Nationwide, drivers could see travel times up to 25% longer.
