You don't have many options if you need high accuracy: you have to pay a lot or try to trick Google which might be both immoral and against the law and for sure is tricky, hard to maintain and you can't count on it in the long run. Let's hope there will be alternatives to Google provided traffic data. For now they seemed to monopolized it by offering it for free while losing money to discourage competition.

Caching is another. Temporal analysis. Put everything together. You don't need to query the magic Google box for every small update you make (and they might get that info from the transit providers, which given my experience are not that great sometimes).
