Traffic runs on a timetable

Maps tells you it’s bad right now. Commute Pulse shows you the whole week, so you can pick your departure instead of taking whatever you get.

  • Leave 07:00 — 36 min, traffic clear.
  • Leave 07:30 — 38 min, traffic clear. Recommended departure.
  • Leave 08:00 — 44 min, traffic slow.
  • Leave 08:30 — 49 min, traffic heavy.
  • Leave 09:00 — 46 min, traffic slow.

Leaving at 7:30 instead of 8:30 gives you eleven minutes back, every weekday. 7:00 saves two more on top of that — and costs you thirty in bed, which is why the lamp is on 7:30.

True, and not much use. It can’t tell you whether today is unusual, or whether leaving half an hour earlier would have spared you any of it.

Same route, same departure time. Thursday runs six minutes slower than Monday — a thing you can only find by looking across the week.

Departure alarms

Your phone says leave at 7:38 — while you can still do something about it, not once you're already late.

Multi-stop mornings

Daycare, then the office. Every leg timed against live traffic and totalled, not just the first one.

Only the days you drive

A Monday, Wednesday, Friday commute shouldn't be averaged against traffic on days you never drive.

Tolls, and the way around them

Try it for a week, free

Long enough for your commute to show its pattern. No card up front — if it doesn’t tell you something you didn’t already know, walk away.
