TomTom (TOM2) has extended TomTom City, a traffic portal that provides live traffic and travel information, to 25 additional cities.

Displaying the extensive range of traffic information on a city by city basis, the portal serves as a platform to connect traffic authorities, businesses and citizens to jointly manage sustainable and efficient mobility.

TomTom City was initially launched in April in 25 cities.

"It’s great to extend TomTom City to a further 25 cities, giving even more drivers and traffic managers essential insights into the real-time traffic situation."

The portal had the highest visits in the Turkish city of Istanbul.

With the addition of 25 further cities, over 30 million more people can now benefit from the service from Johannesburg to Oslo and Melbourne.

TomTom head of traffic Ralf-Peter Schäfer said: “It’s great to extend TomTom City to a further 25 cities, giving even more drivers and traffic managers essential insights into the real-time traffic situation.

"This is a further step in our mission to help reduce delays for all drivers and paving the way to smarter cities.

"Using data from over 450 million devices globally we are creating services that will help cities and connected cars work together to optimise the road network for everyone.”

TomTom City offers free live traffic status and incidents and other driver-based information in cities free of cost.
