Bangalore Traffic Information System

The Bangalore's very own live traffic portal ( Bangalore traffic information system).
Click on the headings to go to that page.
  • Here you can find the optimal routes between any two places in Bangalore.
  • Auto-fares.
  • Bus routes and stops, etc.
  • Carpooling: Do you want to pool a car but don't know who travels in the same route everyday?? There are almost 2000 poolers in this site, you just might find some some
  • Directions: A detailed map of Bangalore shows the best routes , Type in the start place and the destination and it will give you the best route, distance and approx. auto fare . (it also takes care of the one ways, so you will never get lost while coming back. Now no auto guy can con you)
  • Live Traffic feed: Check out the Traffic section to get the live traffic feed. Before you leave your house you can check this and select the route to your destination depending upon the traffic status: Smooth, Slow or Delay
  • Check out the unpaid fines with your Vehicle number!!! If you have violated any traffic law and the cop was not able to get hold of you or there was no cop there, Don't think you were not charged for that.. you will be fined as nowadays there are camera in all most all junctions as well the Cops have blackberry to file a note on you immediately. So, check the fines section.
  • Airport: Now using the BIA Shuttles to reach the airport has become easy, check here to get the routes of the shuttles, their major stops and the timings.
  • Public Offices: Finding out the nearest traffic police station, RTOs and Bangalore One offices are just a click away. There is no need to ask anyone, as most of them do not know about the latest offices that were opened recently.
  • Parking: Parking space availability is updated every 5 minutes. Do you want to know if there is parking space in Garuda Mall before getting there. Thats no difficulty now.
  • You can also get this on your phone, all you have to do is download this application to your GPRS phone.

There are lots more in this site http://www.btis.in/. I have been following this site for more than a year now and its features are improving with time. The site has a lot of applications that has to be run, hence it might appear a bit slow. Be patient.

All the people who crib about the traffic problems in Bangalore, Please stop cribbing and use this site. The Government has done a great job. We always crib, point fingers and always want some one else to solve our problems. Wake up and lets start solving our own problems. "The Government has done their bit, Lets do our bit"

This is a great way to reduce traffic and pollution(both noise and air) due to traffic. in Bangalore. Remember if you are a Bangalorean, you must take advantage of staying in the IT capital.
