Traffic updates service Traffine has launched paid daily traffic alerts for consumers in Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi. One can subscribe to the daily traffic alerts from its website.

For fixed timing, alerts are sent out 10 minutes prior to the journey time, whereas on demand alerts are sent out within 2 minutes from the time one sends an SMS query, the company claims.

Traffline is available on Web, Mobile and as an Android app. Founded by Brijraj Vaghani and Ravi Khemani in March 2009, BirdsEye had…
