Rush Hour Relief

Stuck in traffic?

I can still recall the last time I got stuck in traffic, the Radio announcer said there was an accident just as I turned on to that exit. 

Public transportation is the true answer to traffic, when I go into NYC I ride the train, but I need to get to the station before 7AM to avoid the rush hour crush. When I need to be somewhere in NJ I will leave my house very early in the morning and arrive long before everyone else just so I don't get stuck in the mass movement of mankind.

This does look like a cool app, especially if your wirelessly enabled on the road, can't wait to see what Yahoo and Microsoft do to top this!
