But what happens when we combine both? Well we get an app to work on your smartphone which will inform you of jams in specific routes in Bangalore which you could avoid and opt in for alternate one. Here’s Traffic Genie for you.
Well, Traffic Genie is a mobile app that has been developed by a company called Virbisol in support from the Bangalore City Traffic Police which delivers:
- Instant traffic information/traffic situation at different parts of your city, right from the Traffic Control Room.
- Lets you Search and decide on alternate routes from the map based on the traffic situation.
