Mapunity is a social enterprise with an operational cost of Rs 700,000-Rs 10,00,000, partly underwritten by Airtel's contribution and partly by Mapunity's other projects.

 

Mapunity is behind the recent release of Bangalore Transport Information System (BTIS) which provides live traffic conditions on the map. The site BTIS.in provides driving directions within Bangalore, Carpool information as well as safety tips to Bangalore residents. BTIS recently released their data to public in an API format where developers can use this API to create their own mashups. You can now use BTIS data to overaly on Yahoo Maps. 

 

Mapunity recently launched similar services for Hyderabad and Chennai. While Hyderabad Transport Information System (HTIS) is stable and provides similar services like Live Traffic, Directions, Safety Tips and carpool information, Chennai Transport Information System is still in Beta phase. You can still see live traffic information for Chennai as well as directions. 

 

You can use SMS 52225 to get Chennai directions on your mobile phone. If you are travelling in Chennai and stuck in the traffic, you can use your camera phone to report the traffic information to CTIS. Check out CTIS website

    Hi
    In this article, it is mentioned that ' BTIS recently released their data to public in an API format where developers can use this API to create their own mashups '. But I have searched for the same and could not get those APIs.
    Could you please point me to where have they released ? or can you just post that link here ?

    I know this is an old article and over a year later, so I hope this information still helps someone
    @Raghavendra - I heard of a grassroot project, Sabka Traffic, that has an iGoogle widget that you can use mashup. They also have a variety of mobile clients that allow you to see the traffic on the go. I really like their slogan @SabkaTraffic - Know Before You Go! I guess that's what mapunity was trying to achieve, but it appears that the traffic maps have a lack of data on them.
