“If you own a mobile phone and spend sunup to sundown watching the traffic pass in Ghana’s capital, then Iddrisu Mohammed wants you to be his spy. With an iPad in his hands and two phones in his pants pockets, Mohammed crisscrosses Accra on foot, looking for people to become informants for Jamless, a recently launched traffic information service that hopes to restore a little sanity to the capital’s hectic commute. ‘What Jamless will do is give you the traffic situation in any part of Accra that you are and give you alternate routes to use if the place is jammed,’ said Mohammed, who is the company’s informant manager.”
