How long will the bus arrive? Yandex.Transport is a program for tracking the movement of vehicles around the city. Main advantages of the service

Yandex.Transport is a unique application that currently has no analogues in Russia, which is gaining enormous popularity every day. It allows you to track in real time the movement of all types of urban public transport on a map of Moscow.

With the help of the Yandex Transport program, you will not only be able to monitor the movement of public transport in Moscow online, but also significantly save your time.

It works confidently, instantly collecting the necessary information, which helps to quickly choose the optimal route option in the shortest possible time.

Smartphone app

Apple iPhone (iOS, Apple Watch).

Computer application

The developers have created a program that can be easily installed on the Android and iOS platforms, but they did not provide this option for the Windows operating system.

Video review

Where does the service operate?

The application is already working in Moscow and dozens of other large cities in Russia, as well as beyond its borders. In addition, their number is constantly increasing, as is the audience of users of this application, because Yandex.Transport has practically no analogues in Russia.

If you have any questions related to the operation of the Yandex transport application in Moscow public transport routes, you can ask them in the comments, we will definitely try to answer them as soon as possible.

You can track Rostov transport online (in real time) on our website: .

Department of Transport and ITS Center opened general access to the online urban transport tracking system PIKAS. This even happened a little ahead of schedule (today, in a conversation with the employees of the ITS Center, we learned that the opening will take place on October 3, but PIKAS is already working).

The system is available at: its-rnd.ru/pikasonline. If you want to immediately go to viewing a city map with the location of buses, trolleybuses, trams and minibuses in real time, you can use the direct link: its-rnd.ru/pikasonline/#rostov/map (you will need to click on the “show traffic movement” icon ).

Using the service is very easy: The system interface is intuitive and very friendly. However, for those who found it a bit complicated, we have prepared a short video “How to use PIKAS in Rostov-on-Don”:

PIKAS system capabilities impressive. With its help, you can find out where a specific bus, trolleybus, tram or minibus is located and, accordingly, calculate the waiting time at the stop. In addition, the system has schedules for all public transport in Rostov-on-Don. We talked in detail about all the functions of PIKAS in our previous publication, and the main features of the system that are most interesting to passengers are covered in the video above.

Launch of the Pikas system public access became possible thanks to the high-quality and well-coordinated work of the Department of Transport (Director - Alla Loskutnikova, Deputy Director - Alexander Varich), the Center for Intelligent Transport System (Director - Vasily Zyryanov), Deputy Head of the Administration for Transport and Road Facilities Evgeniy Lebedev, as well as many employees of the Administration of Rostov-on-Don and the region and their leaders. The active position of the public also played an important role, incl. initiative groups of the project “Rostov-Transport.Info” and “Rostov City Transport VKontakte”.

All that remains is to thank all the people involved in the opening of PIKAS for the fact that in Rostov-on-Don there will now also be online monitoring of public transport. Such services are an undoubted attribute of civilized transport systems; they are widespread in large European cities. As for Russia, not every metropolis can boast of the ability to monitor transport via the Internet. It's nice that Rostov has become one of them.

Don't forget that the system will start working in test mode. At the same time, it is likely that there will be some shortcomings and shortcomings. This is a common thing when we are talking about such complex software and hardware systems. The editors of Rostov-Transport.Info express confidence that specialists will carefully monitor the performance of the system and eliminate detected errors, and users (i.e. passengers) will treat this with understanding.

Help Rostov-Transport.Info: The PIKAS software package was developed by the software company Merakas, the company's head office is located in Vilnius (Lithuania). The company specializes in the development of transport dispatch software; its customers include transport enterprises and institutions in Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

This is what the PIKAS system looks like to the user.

To start using the application you will need:

Yandesk.Transport is an excellent application from a well-known search engine that will help you take advantage of public transport more comfortably. This program will help both in everyday life and when traveling to other cities. Its functionality will help you stay up to date with the schedule of buses, trams and other means of transportation. Download Yandex Transport Online for your computer and you will be aware of the location of your minibus.

Application Features

Yandex has been successfully promoting its products on the domestic market for a long time. Most of us use not only the search engine and mail of this company, but also such services as Maps, Taxi, Disk, etc. “Yandex.Transport” (YAT) is another product of our respected domestic developer, which can make our life much easier. This program is especially useful for those who prefer to move around the city on their own.

Its functionality is based on displaying the location of buses, trolleybuses, trams and other public transport. It is no secret that today all vehicles on the route are equipped with GLONASS and GPS transmitters that allow you to track their real (plus or minus a few meters) location. Yandex transfers these labels to its maps, so we can see where the bus or tram we need is located.

With this application, you no longer need to stand at bus stops and waste time waiting for your minibus. You can know where it is and get into it on time.

Yandex is not the first company to release a vehicle tracking product. Until now, in the Play Market or other program catalogs you can find several essentially similar products. But the capabilities of the second most popular search engine in the world allow you to create a more convenient and informative product. What Yandex.Transport actually is.

Of course, at the moment this application is not perfect? But, compared to the beta version, a huge step forward has been made. The signature black of this product is the comfortable and easily recognizable style of Yandex designers.

The application is a map with vehicle icons. Each vehicle has its own color. In addition, it is possible to disable types of vehicles that you do not need. Yandex Transport for Windows allows you to take advantage of the capabilities of this service on your computer screen. It is very comfortable. You don't need to waste mobile Internet traffic. If you are waiting for a specific minibus number, then download this program and see where it is. Then calculate the time you will spend before stopping and decide when to leave the house. It is very convenient and comfortable.

Program functionality

As mentioned above, all vehicles in this program have their own color. Each label has a route number. With the help of which you can track the transport you need. In addition, the user can view a list of stops and the arrival time for each of them. Of course, you need to understand that this time is conditional. Anything can happen along the way. Therefore, there is no need to blame the program. It's not about her, but about the congestion of our roads.

At the moment, Yandes.Transport provides information about public transport in all major cities of Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, etc.), as well as some cities in neighboring countries: Kiev, Astana, Baranovichi, Grodno, Vitebsk, etc.

The application has minimal settings. And this is a big plus. Check the boxes to display the transport you need. An excellent solution from Yandex developers is the ability to save the routes you need and synchronize the capabilities of the service on different devices. This is very convenient if, before leaving home, you perform the necessary actions in the desktop version of the service, and then receive this data on your smartphone or tablet. You can even set an alarm in this application and not oversleep your stop.

A good function of Yandex Transport Online is route building. One of the points will be your location (taking into account geolocation enabled on your computer), and you can set the second by clicking on the map. After which, the application algorithms will select the most suitable route for you.

From the link below you can download the Yandex Transport application for PC. Although the program is adapted for small smartphone screens, it will look good on a computer screen. Moreover, with the help of a mouse and keyboard, you can more comfortably set routes and carry out other actions in this program.

How to install Yandex Transport Online on a computer or laptop

Like any other program for the Android operating system, to install “Transport” from Yandex, you need to use the BlueStacks emulator. The second version of this product for creating an environment for running mobile applications on a PC is very convenient and ideal for this kind of solutions.

Download and wait for it to install on your computer.
Launch the emulator and use it to access the Play Market.
If you don't have a Google account, you'll need to create one first.
Find the Yandex.Transport application and install it.
Now you can use this Yandex service after launching the emulator on your desktop PC.

System requirements

The BlueStacks emulator is not demanding on device characteristics. And it will easily function on any modern computer. But, if you are afraid that your PC is not good enough for this, then below you can view the minimum requirements and compare the characteristics of the computer with them:

RAM: The utility takes on 2 GB of RAM. To run applications you need at least another 2 GB.
Space for files: BlueStacks requires 9 GB of free space to function properly.
Processor frequency: the minimum clock speed of the “stone” should be 2.2 GHz.
Other: Your computer must have the latest drivers, DirectX, and .NET Framework installed.

Don’t want to download the Yandex Transport program for Windows? Here are some analogues for you:

iWhere is the Bus. An interesting application, which is somewhat inferior in functionality to the product being described. But, with its help, you can find the nearest stop and find out how a particular route moves. This application is especially loved by residents of our Northern capital. After all, transport such as boats is available to them in this program. In the mobile version of this program, you can even point the camera at a stop, and the program itself will write which routes pass through it.
Moovit. International analogue of "Ya.T". The base of this application contains 40 countries and most of the largest cities in the world. The algorithms of this program themselves will “draw” the most convenient routes. Just set the required points on the map and wait a few seconds. If you travel by car, this product can be used as an advanced navigator.
EasyWay. The program uses a database of public transport equipped with GPS. And the functionality of this service is “poorer” than the functionality of Yandex. Here you cannot remember routes and find out traffic congestion. True, the developers claim that they have a larger database than their competitors.

Instead of a conclusion

Yandex Transport online for your computer is a great opportunity to find out how to get to the right place or find out where your minibus is while sitting at home.
