Smile Bangalore

Do you live in Bangalore? If yes, there is a good news for you. Now you can find any information related to Traffic in Bangalore online at unified Bangalore Traffic Information System. This is a well implemented project. Apart from finding information about shortest route between two locations in Bangalore, you can also check for the approximate Auto Fares and get the information on current Traffic Conditions.

The most interesting feature as per me is the CAR POOL. Here, you can create a Car pool or you can find information on existing Car Pools. I am not sure how much people are going to use this feature. But if used, not only it will ease the traffic, but it will also help in saving the fuel and decreasing the pollution. This is a very good starts by Bangalore Administration (in joint venture with Airtel and Mapunity). I hope that we get more such gifts from administration.

PS: Only problem with the site is that there is no “Sitemap” or “Feature Information”. Even the “Search” option has not been provided. The “Feedback” button (through which we could have given our feeback) is also not activated. Another Bangalore Syndrome :-( … I hope such things get improved soon.
