GO! TRAFFIC

Platform: Android

While heading out in Dhaka City, the most common question is "Which route will have the least traffic?" It's also common for us to assume one of those routes to have light traffic only to find out that we have never been so wrong in our entire lives. Well, we have an app that just might be the solution to this. 

GO! TRAFFIC is an app made by GObd.co. A team actively collects data about the traffic in various parts of the city and highlights them in three different colors – Green (smooth traffic), Yellow (slow but moving) and Red (jammed). The team collects and provides data 6 days a week (except Friday) from 8 am to 9 pm. However, you will get traffic info other times too because users can contribute to this app through a Facebook group and through the app itself. The interface is very neat. It directly takes you to a list of the routes in Dhaka marked by different colors indicating traffic status. Upon closing this list, a map showing your current location and the routes around you appears. On the top there is a search bar that helps you find your desired route. On the bottom there is a red button that lets you contribute to the app. The app is currently in Beta and it stutters on certain devices. However, active participation of both the developers and the users can surely help this app become a daily lifesaver.
