The exact time of arrival of transport at the stop has always been of interest to city residents. Knowing the exact time of the bus will help you plan your time much more efficiently. As a rule, there is a public transport arrival timetable near each stop, but given the number of traffic jams, it is useless to be guided by it. However, now the problem with transport has been solved thanks to the Yandex.Transport application.
Yandex.Transport is a new service from the largest Russian company that allows tracking vehicles in real time.
The app exists in two versions: for iOS and for Android. Unfortunately, Windows users have not yet received their own version of the application.
However, if you don't have a smartphone or you just want to use Yandex.Transport on your computer, below you will learn how to do this.
First of all, we need to download an Android emulator to our computer, which will allow us to run any applications adapted for this mobile operating system.
If you have not decided on the choice of an emulator, then I advise you to pay attention to BlueStacks - a free emulator with convenient interest and Russian localization, with which you can run almost any Android application on your computer.
Download BlueStacks and install it on your computer.
After the first launch of the program, you may have difficulty switching the keyboard layout to English. You can fix this situation as follows:
1. From the BlueStacks home screen, open the app "Settings".
2. Open the section "Change keyboard settings"and then select the keyboard "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"... A list of available languages \u200b\u200bwill open, among which you need to find and mark "English (USA, International)".
Please note that the layout will not be switched in the standard way, but using the combination Ctrl + Space.
After that, you need to log into Google,. If you don't have a registered account yet, you need to create one here. Without this, you will not be able to download applications from the Google Play store.
Once you're signed in, return to the home screen and select "Search"... In the window that opens, enter the name of the application Yandex.Transport, and then select "Search on Play".
You will be redirected to the app store, where you can download Yandex.Transport. Click the button "Install" and wait for the download and installation to finish.
Once the installation is complete, the "Install" button will be replaced by the "Open" button, which must be pressed.
The application itself will start. The program will not be able to automatically detect your city, therefore the map of Moscow will be displayed by default. To change this situation, open the settings and select your city.
Yandex.Transport is now ready to use. On the map, you will see small moving icons with public transport numbers that represent the current movement. It displays buses, trolleybuses, trams, and a route taxi.
To know how long it will take for the bus to arrive at your stop, you need to log in. If you have not created a Yandex mail account, you can create one using this link. After that, you can add your stops to your favorites list and visually see how many minutes your bus will arrive.
Enjoy your use!
The transport timetable has always been interesting and significant for people living not only in the city, but also behind it, and now you can use Yandex.Transport online for a computer.
The technologies of the modern world have come down to the transport schedule (in our countries). Yandex has created an application for android that collects and updates the necessary information for ease of use and greatly simplifying people's lives.
A very convenient application both for use in the settlement where you live and in cases of arrival in an unfamiliar city, providing an opportunity to determine when and where route vehicles are moving.
- Initially, the goal of the creators of this application was to make it so that a user with any level of knowledge about modern technologies of use and management could easily understand the main functions and features, so the principle of operation is quite logical and there should not be big difficulties in use.
- Connected cities are Moscow, Moscow region, Astana, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Omsk, Kaliningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Perm, Chelyabinsk, Voronezh, Krasnoyarsk, Chelyabinsk, Cherepovets, Lipetsk, Kiev, Astana, Baranovichi, Pinsk and Grodno ( every day the app is updated with new cities).
Download Yandex.Transport for Android and iOS devices (iPad, iPhone)
Download Yandex.Transport online for a computer (PC)
The Yandex Transport application is supported only on devices of the android operating system (tablets, smartphones) and on the same Iphone products.
And if you want to install this application on your computer, you must first install android OS emulator BlueStacks program, by installing which you can download directly from the service Play Market and run android applications on your PC. Support for downloading from the Play Store is available in the functions of the emulator.
- Download BlueStacks and run it on your computer.
- You need to findYandex.Transport on the service Play Market and install.Data entry from can be performed by presetting the input language (in the settings) or simply by copying (if it is more convenient or faster for you), for example, from a notepad and pasting ( ctrl + cand ctrl + v).
- Now you have Yandex.Transport online on a computer in the BlueStacks app
- City selection and other settings in the upper right corner
- With this application, you can go to the bus stop, shortly before the arrival of the passing transport, calculate the time of arrival at the right place, without tormenting people with questions.
The service is at the stage of revision and in connection with these several unresolved points:
- To date, not all cities are connected (listed above).
- Even if the city is present in Yandex.Transport maps, this does not mean that all routes are tracked there, due to the ignorance or unwillingness of transport companies to participate in this online tracking program.
But it should be noted that the idea is quite serious and it is necessary to collect and provide for use information that is constantly changing, with the expectation that not all transport companies are easy to cooperate and it is necessary to make great efforts and time to this, as well as fix everything errors in the operation of this system.

Today I will introduce you to an application that will save you from the uncertainty of waiting for public transport at a bus stop. You probably often had to stand at a bus stop, waiting for the right transport and cursing the discrepancy between the posted schedule and reality. With traffic jams now common in big cities, it is difficult to count on the accuracy of arrival on schedule.
There is an exit. If you are the owner of a smartphone with Internet access, then using a good free of Yandex.Transport program, you can at any time see on the map at the place of your current location (however, if necessary, also in any other one) the real traffic situation on the approaches to your stop.
Application on opening 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. By these marks, you can roughly determine whether the necessary 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.
When clicking the stop icon you get a list of all the routes that stop on it. When you press per transport label you get its end stops.
In my experience, the accuracy of displaying the real position is not perfect, but still very decent. The time error is no more than 1-2 minutes. It is only necessary to take into account that, of course, 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 helped out more than once. Naturally, it requires an Internet connection to work.
Which ground transport is passing nearby and when the bus, trolleybus or tram will arrive at the stop, you can now find 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. She has recently been equipped with all land transport in the city.
The app can be downloaded for free on the developer's website, Google Play or iTunes. It works on smartphones based on iOS, Windows and Android.
So far, the portal from which the application takes information is working in test mode and sometimes fails, which the developers write about in their blog. Once, only a dozen buses were displayed on the map throughout the city, and recently almost all trams and trolleybuses disappeared from it for a while. The shortcomings of the system are planned to be corrected in the near future.
The application determines the coordinates of the user and offers to choose the appropriate mode of transport
The app shows in real time the movement of nearby buses and calculates the time of their arrival at the desired stop
In the application you can see a list of stops of the desired route
The application shows the complete route to the destination
Spb Transport Online determines the coordinates of the user and offers him to choose the appropriate mode of transport: bus, tram or trolleybus. After that, the application shows which routes are nearby, indicates their location on the map and calculates the approximate time of arrival at the stop. The data is refreshed every time you move your phone, press the Refresh button, or every 10 seconds when Auto Refresh is on.
The developers plan to add aquabuses and the subway to the program, the ability to plan your route around the city, taking into account transfers, as well as search for stops near the user and form a schedule for them.
