ed: contrast this with another fairly new offering, 'as seen on TV':

I think the speeds are estimated using gps or cell signals -- but are they accurate?
-have not seen any local print stories on these new services (could corporate media rivalries be preventing this?)

Simple Web Tool Helps Motorists Save Time and Money
TORONTO--(Marketwire - October 15, 2009) - Intellione, the premier provider of traffic information for consumers, businesses and governments, today announced the release of TripTimes.ca, a new Web portal delivering traffic-based trip times from point to point around the Golden Horseshoe.
A market first, TripTimes.ca instantly calculates routes using live traffic information on most every roadway -- not just freeways -- and displays both trip time and turn-by-turn directions. Visitors to the site see a traffic map with optional traffic cameras and simply enter a starting place or address and a destination. TripTimes.ca returns the optimal result within seconds.
Whether embarking on travel to cottage country, a daily commute to or from work or heading to Pearson Airport, drivers around the GTA are now empowered with accurate and reliable trip times and routes around congestion.
BlackBerry users are encouraged to download a free beta application for on-the-go trip times and traffic advice by clicking the ioVector button located in the lower left corner of TripTimes.ca.
TripTimes.ca is powered by ioTrafficâ„¢ -- a patented system that accurately measures speed on freeways and city streets, surpassing all currently available traffic detection systems.
Visit www.triptimes.ca for more information.
