The features of the free Yandex.Transport application are as follows:

To check where the required transport is located, perform the following steps:

• We check the data and click on the “Place” button.

• A map will appear with the route extended in detail. Below will be indicated the numbers of vehicles that can be used to get to the final point and where you need to make a transfer. From one to several route options can be displayed.

To view the vehicle's arrival time, simply do the following:

• Find the number of the route vehicle and click on it. Next, an item will appear at the bottom with a stamp indicating the time of arrival at the nearest stop.

• Since there are many minibuses with the same number, you can click on another vehicle and see its arrival time at a specific stop.

Today, the Yandex Transport application on your phone is a real must-have for everyone who does not have a personal car. This program allows you to find out in real time where the bus, tram or trolleybus is now, calculate the time until it arrives at the desired stop and understand how long it will take to reach its final destination. Let's take a closer look at what other advantages the service has.

Public transport in your pocket with Yandex Transport

Yandex has made vehicle tracking as simple and convenient as possible - a clear interface helps you quickly navigate and find out all the necessary information.

For example, to see online how soon the tram will be at a specific stop, you just need to click on it. The route will be displayed on the screen, where you can see where and how long it will take to arrive. If no required transport is on the way, then you will simply see the interval of its movement - for example, “every 25 minutes”.

If you find yourself in an unfamiliar place, you can quickly assess the situation by looking at the map to see what vehicles are passing near your location

Don't know how to get to the office or store you need? The application will help here too, because you can build a route from point A to point B in just a few seconds. You will be offered all possible options, taking into account different vehicles, fares and speeds. Save your favorite routes so you don’t have to remember everything again next time!

You can download the program for free to your phone on Google Play and the App Store. Yandex Transport for Windows Phone has not yet been developed

Transport tracking with Yandex in any city in Russia

The application works in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Kazan, Penza and other large Russian cities. It is also available for some localities in Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, Hungary, Australia and New Zealand. You can select your city in the settings.

It’s convenient that Yandex remembers the public transport you frequently use and can only display it on the map - this is also regulated in the service settings. In addition to bus/minibus/tram/trolleybus stops, the map also displays metro stations and railway platforms.

It is worth noting that the service works slightly differently in different cities. In many respects, the reliability of the information depends on regional partners, so it turns out that in some localities certain types of vehicles may not be displayed.

In the summer of 2017, Yandex Transport also began showing the locations of carsharing cars - cars that can be rented for short-term to move around the city. The program allows you to not only see full information about the model (make, number, price, volume of fuel in the tank), but also build a route to it and even book it by going to the corresponding company’s application.

Is it possible to use Yandex Transport online without downloading?

Since the program is designed exclusively for use on a smartphone, Yandex Transport does not work in the browser. Therefore, in order to view information without downloading to a mobile device, you need to understand how to work on a PC. To do this you will need:

• download an Android emulator for PC (for example, from Bluestacks - suitable for Windows 7, 8, 10, XP and OS X);
• install, launch and add a Google account in the “Accounts” tab;
• download Yandex Transport online in the same way as you usually do on Google Play.

The convenience and usefulness of the application are obvious, to say the least. This is especially felt in winter, when you have to stand in the cold for a long time waiting for a vehicle. And if it also moves at intervals of half an hour/hour, then the only right decision would be to install Yandex Transport on your phone and never again be afraid of being late for the desired route.

What ground transport is passing nearby and when a bus, trolleybus or tram will arrive at the stop can now be found out using the Spb Transport Online mobile application. It processes data from the St. Petersburg public transport portal, which is received using the GLONASS system. Recently, all ground transport in the city has been equipped with it.

The application can be downloaded for free on the developers' website, Google Play or iTunes. It works on iOS, Windows and Android smartphones.

For now, the portal from which the application takes information is working in test mode and sometimes fails, which the developers write about on their blog. Once the map showed only a dozen buses throughout the city, and recently almost all trams and trolleybuses disappeared from it for some time. The system's shortcomings are planned to be corrected in the near future.

The application determines the user’s coordinates and offers to choose the appropriate mode of transport
The application shows in real time the movement of nearby buses and calculates their arrival time at the desired stop
In the application you can see a list of stops on the desired route
The application shows the complete route to your destination

Spb Transport Online determines the user's coordinates and prompts him to choose the appropriate mode of transport: bus, tram or trolleybus. The app then shows which routes are nearby, marks their location on the map, and calculates the approximate time of arrival at the stop. Data is updated every time you move your phone, press the Refresh button, or every 10 seconds when auto-refresh is turned on.

The developers plan to add aquabuses and the subway to the program, the ability to plot your route around the city, taking into account transfers, as well as search for stops near the user and create a schedule for them.

Dear friends, Android users!

Today I will introduce you to an application that will relieve you of the uncertainty of waiting for city public transport at a stop. You've probably often had to stand at a bus stop, waiting for the right transport and cursing the discrepancy between the posted schedule and reality. In the now common traffic jams in big cities, it is difficult to count on the accuracy of arrival on schedule.

There is a way out. If you are the owner of a smartphone with Internet access, then with the help of a good free In the Yandex.Transport program, you can at any time see on the map at your current location (however, if necessary, also in any other location) the real traffic situation on the approaches to your stop.

Application when opened determines your location and when you click on the arrow in the lower left corner, it centers the map on it.

On the map in real time appear moving marks buses, trolleybuses, trams indicating the route number and direction of travel. Using these marks, you can roughly determine whether the required transport is on the way, how long you still have to wait for it, and decide whether it is worth finding alternative options. There is a filter with which you can leave only the route you need on the map.

At pressing the stop icon you get a list of all the routes that stop on it. When pressed to the transport label you get to its final stops.

In my experience, the accuracy of displaying the actual position is not perfect, but still very decent. The time error is no more than 1-2 minutes. You just need to take into account that, naturally, only vehicles equipped with a navigation system are displayed, and there are more and more of them.

You can also overlay on the map traffic information from the Yandex.Traffic service by clicking on the traffic light in the upper left.

In short, a very convenient application that has helped me out more than once. Naturally, it requires an Internet connection to work.
