    Yandex has added a function to its Yandex.Transport application that will help you track the arrival time of public transport in Moscow. This is stated in the company's message.

    With the help of the new function, “the user will be able to find out where the desired bus, trolleybus and tram are currently located, and a forecast of how many minutes later they will arrive at the stop,” Yandex clarifies, adding that the application has access to information about 758 buses, 80 trolleybus and 38 tram routes.

    Yandex.Transport will indicate the current location of buses, trolleybuses and trams with markers on the map. As the vehicle moves, its marker also moves. Yandex receives data on movements from the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans.

    As TASS previously reported, in September 2014, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and the head of Yandex Arkady Volozh signed an agreement under which the Internet company can receive data from the mayor’s office to provide services to city residents. In accordance with the document, the Moscow government will provide the Internet company with data on planned road works and movements of city public transport. The company will also receive data on city parking lots, which will allow them to be paid for through the new Yandex service. In addition, the city system for registering charges and payments and the Yandex.Money service will be integrated, and about 200 information feeds of city authorities will be connected to the Yandex.News news aggregator - news from departments will appear along with media news.

    Last October, the capital’s authorities announced their readiness to transmit data on the geoposition of ground transport from GLONASS transmitters installed on city rolling stock not only to Yandex, but also to other interested companies, one of which is Google. “Not long ago we were approached by Google, which also wants to receive this data for its open services,” said Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Road Infrastructure Development. – We are ready to provide this data to everyone, because the more applications there are, the more convenient it will be for the user. If there is some kind of competition on the quality of these applications, we will only be happy.”

    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 clicking on 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.


    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.


    Dmitry Ignatiev, press secretary of the Transport Committee: “The portal is currently operating in test mode; only buses are displayed correctly. Aquabuses will be launched almost today, but electric transport - probably before the end of June. As planned, at the expense of private investors, a mobile application was developed to make the portal more accessible; a person could not only find out where his bus is before leaving home or work, but also right from the stop, logging in from a gadget and seeing a map.”

    Not long ago, a convenient application called Yandex Transport appeared in the Yandex browser, which was created for those users who are used to traveling by public transport. By installing this application on your iPad, you can see the schedule of any type of transport: trams, buses, minibuses, track their path and plan your trips, knowing the travel time, the number of stops, tracking the movement of the transport you need. Today, many Yandex Transport users cannot imagine how to do without such a convenient “navigator”.

    I think you will agree that being late for work or school, or for a business meeting in general, is unacceptable. But how can you build your schedule so that you are sure to be on time? To do this, the “Transport” application from Yandex will help you. By opening it in advance, you can plan your route, set an alarm and get to the stop on time. You won’t have to worry in vain, waiting for the desired minibus or tram, since they will arrive according to the schedule specified in the application, and you will arrive at the stop in advance, so you will confidently arrive at the desired point exactly on time.

    The same application has an alarm function, which allows you not only to indicate the time of your trip to the stop, but also the time to get off at the desired stop. This way, you won’t miss your station and can relax, listen to music, and the app will take you there and won’t let you down.

To do this, click on the “Traffic Light” icon in the upper corner. By using this service, choose a more economical and faster travel option, so you don’t have to find yourself in a difficult situation. You can also save the same routes for convenience.

    If you need to plan a long route with transfers, this is also possible, you just need to determine the point of departure and arrival, and the application will generate different route options with transfers and taking into account the time spent, as well as walking. You can conveniently save a screenshot of the page so you can quickly use it if you forget the route.
