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, very convenient application, helped out more than once. Naturally, it requires an Internet connection to work.
