The app also lets users tag & share their location with friends and in turn improve the overall daily commuting experience of travelers in India. The app is currently available for Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore and soon to be expanded to oter metro cities in India.

    Developed by two Mumbai-based entrepreneurs - Brijraj Vaghani and Ravi Khemani at Birds Eye Systems, Traffline offers a real-time traffic map with colour-coded lines indicating congestion, slow and fast moving traffic with details on jams, road accidents and best alternate routes available on their website and mobile app. They also have a helpline and Twitter presence for those who are not comfortable using a map interface. The app also gives alerts about incidents like onsite police activities, mass protests, road hazards and accidents, or constructions that have resulted in road blockage.
