Tango Traffic-what is it...and do we need it


http://tangotraffic.com/

Tango Traffic is a traffic website and 24-hour TV station that I recently found late night.  In fact it was 2 of my brothers who found it and kept it on because of the good rock music they were playing.  Basically, Tango gives constant traffic reports for the Philadelphia area with more cities to come.  During the day it seems that there are live shows and traffic reporters giving their analysis to the current traffic.  But when I have watched the channel, there seems to be just a random shuffle between all the traffic cameras in the Philly area.  The website also has a blog with articles as well as links to all the traffic cams, weather as well as public transportation informations and scheduling.

Now some people may think that this is amazing and a great resource.  But at the same time some would look at this as a waste of money, resources and usless.  In my opinion, I think that if used right, this could be a very valuable website.  The best way to use this site would be too use the site and station for research, especially if you were new to the area.  You could esily see traffic patterns that include when and where congestion is and where upcoming construction will be so that your commute can be as short as possible.  And if that doesn't work...they play a good mix of classic rock.
