Sajith Sivanandan, Google Malaysia Country Manager said by turning on the traffic layer on Maps, users can quickly see whether roads are congested or flowing freely based on color coding. Red is for choc-a-bloc, yellow for slow moving and green for smooth flowing. The new real-time traffic tracking features in Google maps makes it easier for drivers to plan alternative routes to their destination. However at launch, the service is available for roads in Klang Valley only.

The Transit feature on Google Maps provides step-by-step travel directions to travel using the public transportation system in Malaysia including bus, LRT, monorail and Komuter. Transit also gives users information on where bus stops and train stations are located.

Google says that the data used for the Traffic and Transit features is gathered from a variety of sources including the Department of Transportation, private data providers, and users of Google Maps for mobile who contribute anonymous speed information through Google’s traffic crowdsourcing feature.
