Delhi Traffic details click away

Indian cities are known for their traffic chaos and the obvious opportunity in this space is to help people with live traffic data.

Thetrafficpeople is a Delhi based portal that collects traffic information from various sources (traffic police / civic agencies etc) and updates information on their website (via).

The current version of the site is purely an information consumption and doesn’t offer needed services like search/traffic information for particular area etc.

Most importantly, it seems to be operational heavy and hence, questions over scaling a product like this to other cities (Mapunity has partnered with Airtel and uses cell-ids to track traffic, a far more technical solution than relying purely on feet-on-street).

Mapunity too has launched it’s Delhi portal (dtis.in) which showcases live traffic situation overlaid on the map.

If you are from Delhi, do give TheTrafficPeople a ride – do you think it solves a serious pain (given their current focus on information push)?
