Yandex.Transport is an application from Yandex. It allows you to track the movement of the city public transport in real time. It was launched not so long ago, but has already won the hearts of users. We suggest downloading the Yandex.Transport application to your computer. On the this moment the service does not have access to all cities, as this is a beta version. Her work is available in the following cities:

  • Kazan;
  • Omsk;
  • Permian;
  • Novosibirsk;
  • Nizhny Novgorod;
  • Moscow region.

Residents of the capital, unfortunately, are not included in this list, since the Moscow Department of Transport did not provide data on the movement of public transport. On the technical level, the application is ready to work in the area of ​​the city of Moscow. Data is provided to the service through two systems - Glonass and GPS, which transmit the most accurate information about the movement of public vehicles. The data is combined with online card, which shows all routes and travel times.

Features of the application on a PC

After installing the program, you need to run it and designate the required city. After that, the system determines the location of the owner and opens the map with search and settings. Each city from the list has its own database of routes.

The Yandex.Transport application for Windows has a minimal set of functions, as it is a beta version of the resource. But the developers are actively working on the program and have achieved considerable results. The application owner has the opportunity to use the following functions:

  • Through it, you can view the routes and existing traffic jams. To do this, pay attention to a separate icon that is displayed on the screen. By clicking on it, the owner of the program will see problem areas, they are highlighted in a special color.
  • Once a route plan has been defined, it can be saved to help reduce the time it takes to find information about the movement of public transport on a constantly used route.
  • The application has the ability to change the scale of the map, where the route is indicated. This makes it easy to use the program for people with poor eyesight. For scaling, use the dedicated zoom in and out buttons.
  • The application is able to build a route map in real time. The program relies on the results that are transmitted via GPS and GLONASS. According to this data, a real route is created with the specified blocked road sections or traffic jams. At the same time, the application takes into account the possibility of changing the route in case of a traffic jam.

As you can see, the program has sufficient functionality that will be required for unhindered movement around the city. She works quickly, instantly collecting necessary information, which helps to choose the best route option in a short time.

Advantages and disadvantages

It is worth noting that the application has appeared recently, so it does not yet have stable functionality. But developers are actively developing the program, correcting its shortcomings. Let's highlight the pros and cons of the service.

Positive sides:

  • The service has a traffic scheme for existing vehicles. This allows you to determine the time of movement and the route of a certain type of public transport.
  • The cards have a detailed description, which ensures full awareness of the owner of the program. Very helpful for people who are in unfamiliar city and cannot figure out on their own where the nearest stop or station is.
  • The application is completely Russified and has a clear interface, so it will not cause difficulties in using even a beginner in Internet programs.

There are certain inconveniences that are also worth noting:

  • Only 44 cities are installed in the program, but the developers plan to add schemes of other cities.
  • Sometimes there is a problem with the health of the application, it may close automatically. According to user reviews, bugs are fixed, but gradually.
  • There are delays in updating the location of the required vehicle.

While using the application, you may experience some minor bugs. Given that the program is "young", these bugs should not be taken into account as a serious malfunction.

22.03.2017

Thanks to the widespread introduction of GPS and GLONASS technologies in the civilian sector, anyone can track not only their location, but also the movement of public transport (the only exception is the subway).

Special applications for smartphones and computers allow you to track the movement of buses and minibuses in Moscow online. True, sometimes the readings can be a little inaccurate.

Application list

Using one of the presented services, you can track traffic in real time:

  • Yandex.Transport is an application for smartphones running Android and iOS. Installation on a computer is possible only with the help of a special emulator. You can download from Play market or AppStore.
  • TransNavi website - allows you to track the movement of public transport within Moscow and the region online, from any device. The site is still in test mode, so sometimes it can give some failures.
  • 2GIS is another application for computers and smartphones that allows you to find out the time when the desired bus / trolleybus / minibus will come to a stop.

Method 1: using Yandex.Transport

Step-by-step instructions for working with the application:

Method 2: use the official website Navitrans.Info

On this site, you can also track the desired vehicle, find a stop and get directions. Works only within Moscow and the Region. Instruction:


Method 3: 2GIS

This app is available for both smartphones and PCs. It is possible to work in offline mode (without connecting to a network), but in order to track traffic, then you will need to connect to a GPS or GLONASS network. In fact, it is not the bus that is tracked, but the time when it comes to the specified stop is calculated. This function may work with some interruptions (it works best in Ufa and Nizhny Novgorod).

To use this feature, click on the desired stop. A pop-up window will indicate the buses that stop on it. Estimated time of arrival will be written opposite the bus number.

Tracking the movement of the bus on the territory of Moscow and the Region is not difficult. You can use this feature both from a smartphone and from a stationary PC that is connected to the Internet.

While electronic displays at stops with arrival times are not so popular in our country, applications that make life easier for citizens using public transport remain relevant and very useful.

On the pulse – Easyway

The first app for tracking vehicles, easy way, was launched more than two years ago and has undergone many changes since then. Although it remains quite “heavyweight” and does not work too fast on budget devices, but the convenience of its use has grown significantly.


Easyway is primarily suitable for tracking the transport you need on the route. You will be able to leave the house and walk to the stop exactly at the time of arrival. The only negative is that not all vehicles are equipped with GPS beacons yet, so their movement cannot be seen on the map. But as for Kyiv, almost all the routes of Kyivpastrans and large ATPs are already synchronized with the application, however, some of them are not displayed in real time.

The app is easy to use: you just need to turn on the GPS on your device, and then Easyway will set your default city and find the nearest stops. Among them, the desired one is selected, then the appropriate route from the transport list. The utility shows the approximate time of arrival of a vehicle of a specific route at a stop on the tab 3 general information, as well as information about the interval of traffic, the time of its work and the cost of travel. In the "Map" submenu, you can see exactly where the bus / trolleybus / tram / minibus you need is located.

Among the others desired functions it is worth noting laying routes with drawing on the city map (the subway is also taken into account). By the way, now the service works in a smaller number of Ukrainian cities than initially, due to conflicts with companies that established the rights to transmit GPS data. Route tracking is available in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kamensky, Poltava, Drohobych, Khmelnitsky, Kropyvnytskyi, Lviv.

All that is -"Yandex. Transport"

FROM " Yandex. Transport" it is more convenient to work on the principle of the contrary - to track not specific routes, but those that travel in your area, in real time. The application also calculates when the next transport will arrive. The directions of the route are clearly visible on the map - forward and reverse are marked in blue and green, idle vehicles at the final stops are marked in gray. But, as with Easyway, there were some shortcomings: the application does not display all the transport even of Kyivpastrans in real time. Especially it concerns fixed-route taxis- they are not visible on the map, you can only see the outlines of their routes on the map.


To questions like “how to get from point A to point B” “Yandex. Transport” also answers easily, and options using the subway are also drawn on the map.

As for the use, the utility interface is extremely simple, it is not worth the trouble to figure it out, and if you already have Yandex. Maps" and other services from "Yandex", then they are quickly synchronized with each other. In addition, no additional download of maps of your city is required. "Yandex. Transport" shows the movement of transport in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Korosten, Uzhgorod, Kamenetz-Podolsky. All functions are now available in Dnipro, Lvov, Odessa and Kharkiv, except for real-time traffic
