Launched earlier this year with 25 cities, the 1692 TomTom City traffic portal, which provides live traffic and travel information, has now extended to 50 cities worldwide, including Manchester and Glasgow in the UK.  
 
The portal showcases the extensive range of traffic information available on a city by city basis and provides a platform to connect traffic authorities, businesses and drivers to jointly manage sustainable and efficient mobility.
 
It has so far proved popular, with Istanbul receiving the most visits overall. The addition of 25 further cities means that over 30 million more people can now benefit from the service from as far afield as Johannesburg to Oslo to Melbourne.

TomTom City is accessible from any internet-enabled computer, tablet or smartphone and provides freely accessible content showing live traffic status and incidents and other driver-based information in cities.
