Tsaboin Traffic Talk, foremost traffic report app and Nigeria’s biggest traffic monitoring
site has restated its commitment towards easing the challenge of traffic gridlock
experienced by road users in Lagos State.
Speaking during a press conference held recently in Lagos, Dele Odufuye, CEO of
Tsaboin Traffic Talk, stated that the traffic monitoring firm is in the forefront of providing
traffic through free live feeds from cameras installed in strategic locations around the
State.
Odufuye stated that 17 cameras are currently operational across locations around
Lagos state while plans are ongoing to increase the number of cameras in Lagos and
other states.
While adding that Tsaboin camera views had crossed 1.2 million views with 65 percent
of the views originating from mobile devices, he further said that the Tsaboin app is data
friendly especially for mobile smartphone users on Android, iPhone, Blackberry and
WindowsPhone.
In his words: “Tsaboin is optimized for both SMS, desktop and mobile phone users. For
users who prefer viewing our cameras on their phones, they don’t have to worry about
data usage because our video feeds are optimized for data use and are less than 120kb
and can be encoded to fit smartphones”.
According to Odufuye, Tsaboin currently has 1,100 bus stops geo-tagged on the
platform that users can subscribe to. He also added that the platform presently boasts
over 20,000 subscribers with over 12,000 apps download from Google Playstore,
iPad/iPhone, BlackBerry world and Windows store.
Odufuye further stated the firm is currently in partnership with two leading
telecommunication firms, MTN Nigeria and Etisalat to further enhance its services to its
users.
“We are pleased to announce the support of two telecoms giants, MTN and Etisalat who
are partnering with us. We have a special arrangement with MTN to provide special
data package for MTN subscribers who use the service while Etisalat has successfully
created a USSD code for Tsaboin users. This is good news for Tsaboin Traffic Talk
users on the two networks because it will enhance the quality of our services for them,”
Odufuye stated.
Odufuye also listed some new features that would be added to the platform to include
