Every week, Look At Me highlights one notable app that is changing the way we think about mobile experiences, and explores what's behind the App Store icon - ideas, technologies, developers. In the new issue - a conversation with the creators of the eTransport application, which allows you to track the movement of urban public transport.

The ETransport application finds stops closest to the user and displays the direction of movement on them. It is enough to select the desired stop, and the application will calculate in how many minutes this or that public transport will arrive.

ETransport provides users with the ability to create their own list of favorite stops and routes, so that they don't have to search again for the ones they use most often.

A tab with a list of favorite stops and routes can be made home- this will simplify the process of using the application.

The eTransport application also stores in memory the last few stops and routes viewed by the user.

The movement of public transport in the application can be tracked both on an interactive map, and according to the list with information about arrival time and distance.

The free ETransport application collects information about the location of public transport equipped with GLONASS sensors and calculates the time of arrival of buses, trolleybuses and trams at a specific stop. The application automatically determines the user's location and prompts him to select one of the nearest stops on an interactive map. Further on the screen, the list displays the routes and the time after which one or another public transport will arrive at the stop. Thanks to this, you can save time and correctly plan your route. Also in the ETransport application there is a function to save favorite stops and the ability to view the history of your movements.

“When we were students and just starting our small business- a mobile application development firm - we needed an interesting project for our portfolio. I wanted to come to a potential client and say: “Do you know Etransport? This is what we did!” That is, initially it was a kind of side-project, but in the end it was he who attracted new customers.

The very principle of the application is quite simple - ETransport determines the user's location and offers to select the nearest transport stops on an interactive map, and then shows the approaching transport and the time after which it will arrive at the stop. The biggest problem with launching ETransport is negotiating with city authorities the right to access specific location data for all public transport units. In my opinion, this is strange - after all, a convenient service that we create for citizens plays into the hands of any government. Moreover, this is simply wrong - such data cannot be hidden, it must be in the public domain. In this regard, Peter is at the forefront: the authorities there not only opened this data to everyone, but also encourage the developers of such projects (but ETransport is currently considered the best in terms of functionality). In about 40 more cities, no one hides the location data of transport, but in Moscow they are practically classified.

In the next month, we will launch ETransport in 11 more cities in Russia, but so far I cannot disclose information about which cities are included in this list. I think their residents will definitely not miss this event. In Moscow, for example, in the first four days we attracted more than 40,000 users. Unfortunately, not everyone noticed that Moscow (as well as St. Petersburg, by the way) is still in beta testing, and there are still many stops and routes in the application, and the information about the location of transport itself may differ from the real situation.

In the future, we will definitely add a point-to-point route building function to the application, as well as the ability to calculate travel time and even warn your friends about how many minutes you will arrive. We will also remind users in advance that it is time to leave the house so as not to miss your tram, otherwise the next one will not arrive soon. We will pay more attention to ensuring that users can communicate with each other, choose the “King of the Roads” or the “Stop Mayor”. We want people to share valuable information with each other (for example, that there is control on the line) and discuss various things like rude drivers and singing conductors.

There are five people in our team. I studied at Gorky Ural State University, where I met Maxim Rovkin, our Android developer. He brought an incredible server-man Pasha Dik to our team - on the eve of the most difficult test of all time, he worked all night to ensure that in Moscow our application launched on time and without problems. It's funny, but we first met our iOS developer Egor Eremeev live after the release of the first version of ETransport. Egor met Max when they took the exam in different cities (Egor in Naberezhnye Chelny, and Maxim in Yekaterinburg), but they solved tests for the Far East with the same zeal. Designer Pasha Osipkin found us himself - in January 2013, we received a letter from him in the mail, saying that your application is excellent, but the design is shit. So Pasha became part of our team, which we are still incredibly happy about.”

There are several types of urban transport in Moscow: bus, trolleybus, tram, metro. There is a Butovskaya light metro line (in the south of the city) and a monorail from the Timiryazevskaya metro station to Sergei Eisenstein Street (in the north). Shuttle taxis are very popular. At rush hour, it is better to choose the metro, as ground transport is usually stuck in a traffic jam.

There are two river stations on the river - Northern and Southern - and several moorings. Navigation opens in spring and closes in autumn, dates may vary depending on ice conditions. Motor ships floating on the Moscow River are used mainly for excursion purposes.

In summer, bicycle taxis travel along the boulevards. A trip on such a taxi is more of an entertainment. There is little practical use for them, since the routes are very short.

Several night routes have been operating since 2013.

Metro in Moscow

The metro has twelve lines. Stations open for entry around 5:30 (time can vary up to 15 minutes), close for entry at 1:00. The last trains from the terminal stations of each line depart at around 1:03. Transfers from line to line are formally closed at 1:00, but in reality the transfer is possible later if the last train in the required direction has not yet passed.

The interval of movement of trains in the subway is on average 2-3 minutes, at rush hour on many lines 90 seconds, early in the morning and late in the evening up to 5-10 minutes. On the Kakhovskaya and Filevskaya lines, the intervals are longer than usual.

Ground transport

Buses, trams and trolleybuses start operating at about 5:00-6:00. Most lines close after midnight, but there are those that stop running in the early evening. Timetables for almost all routes are published on the websites of Mosgortrans. At stops for individual lines, full schedules are indicated, for most - only intervals.

Shuttle taxis (these are usually minibuses for 13-20 seats, and line numbers have the letter M), as a rule, do not work after 23:00.

City buses have the symbols of "Mosgortrans" and serve lines in the range of numbers 0-299 and 500-999. Buses with numbers from 300 to 499 are suburban (with the exception of some lines in the "new Moscow" south-west of the Moscow Ring Road), and city tickets are not valid on them. Buses with numbers from 900 can be express. There are also separate letter designations for land transport routes. The most famous of these lines is trolleybus B, which runs round the clock along the Garden Ring.

Among the night routes at the moment there are only four daily ones, including bus 1N, next to Sheremetyevo Airport. A few more lines operate only at night on weekends and holidays.

Electric trains are not formally part of the Moscow transport system, but in some cases this is the fastest way to travel between some areas. The main problem is the torn schedule and fragmentation of the network: the bulk of electric trains go from dead-end stations in the city center to the Moscow Region along a dozen radial directions, and only a small number of flights cross the city through and through.

Tariffs of urban transport in Moscow

Payment in all modes of transport at the entrance. The metro and surface transport tariff systems were partially merged in 2013. There are two main groups of tickets - valid in any transport (except minibuses and electric trains) and valid only in buses, trams and trolleybuses.

Tickets for any transport are available at the metro ticket offices, and options for 1-2 trips are available at the station machines. The price is 40 rubles for one trip, 80 for two, 150 rubles for five, 300 for 11 trips, 500 for 20 trips, 1000 for 40 trips and 1200 rubles for 60 trips. Thus, in the latter case, one entrance to the transport costs 20 rubles - half the price of a single ticket. Transfers between the metro and the only monorail line are free as long as the same ticket is used to enter.

Bus, tram and trolleybus tickets are available only at Mosgortrans kiosks and cost 30 rubles for one trip, 60 for two, 100 rubles for five, 200 rubles for 11 trips, 350 rubles for 20 trips, 700 rubles for 40 trips and 750 rubles for 60 trips.

Drivers in transport sell only tickets for 4 trips for 100 rubles. In addition, they also have one-time tickets "90 minutes", which cost 50 rubles and include one trip to the metro and an unlimited number of them on land transport (at the same time, you must enter the last vehicle no later than 90 minutes after entering the first). Multi-use tickets "90 minutes" are sold at kiosks and ticket offices of the metro. For 2 trips, such a ticket costs 100 rubles, for 5 - 220 rubles, for 11 - 450 rubles, for 20 - 750 rubles, for 40 trips - 1500 and for 60 - 1800.

Finally, for those who use transport only from time to time, there is a so-called "electronic wallet", also known as the "Troika" card. The passenger first credits the desired amount of money to it, and when entering the transport, 28 rubles are debited from the card account in the metro, 26 - in other transport and 44 rubles - in the case of a transfer trip. The Troika card itself will cost another 50 rubles. In addition, other types of tickets, including travel commuter trains, can be credited to it.

In the trains themselves, the price of a single fare within the boundaries of Moscow is 28 rubles. When traveling outside the city, the fare depends on the distance. At train stations, there are usually turnstiles for both entry and exit, a ticket is required in both cases.

In minibuses, the usual fare is about 30-40 rubles, on flights outside the Moscow Ring Road it is often higher. Payment only in cash. Sometimes on short sections of the route the price may be lower than the standard. It should be borne in mind that there are also small Mosgortrans minibuses with its symbols and a board with the bus route number (without the letter M) - standard tickets are valid for them.

A network of free wireless Internet is gradually being deployed in the Moscow metro. So far, several lines are equipped with it (Koltsevaya, Kakhovskaya, Kalininskaya), but it is likely that in the coming years the service will be available on all lines. In addition, access is available on at least some trolleybuses B, trams 3 and express buses 902.

How to get to Moscow airports

The easiest, but also the most expensive way to airports is by Aeroexpress electric trains (to Sheremetyevo from the Belorussky railway station, to Domodedovo from Paveletsky, to Vnukovo from Kievsky). The fare is 400 rubles (340 if purchased online).

You can get to, in addition to Aeroexpress, by buses 817 and 851 (the fare, depending on the ticket used, is from 12.5 to 30 rubles), as well as minibuses 948M and 949M (70 rubles), following from the metro stations Planernaya and " River Station". In addition, a night bus H1 (12.5-30 rubles) was launched, going from Leninsky Prospekt through the city center.

You can get to Vnukovo from the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station by buses 611 and 611c (12.5-30 rubles) and by minibus 45M (100 rubles).

Bus 308 (100 rubles) and minibus 308M (120 rubles) from Domodedovskaya go to Domodedovo, as well as an ordinary train from Paveletsky railway station about once every 2-3 hours (70-105 rubles, depending on the landing site in Moscow).

Taxi in Moscow

Taxis in Moscow are extremely expensive for short trips - the rates of various companies usually start from 350-500 rubles for any transfer. As a rule, a trip lasting 20-30 minutes costs the same or a little more.

A trip to the airport costs, as a rule, 1000-1500 rubles, even from close areas.

Moscow is certainly a huge city. Lots of people live here 12,380,664 (as of 2017) people. And this number is growing every year. The capital of the Russian Federation is attractive, of course, for a huge number of people both in our country and abroad.

The metro of the capital workson normal days from 5:30 am. Stations close at midnight. This, of course, is also convenient. But to get to the right place in Moscow by metro, you can still, unfortunately, not always. Visitors and residents of the capital have to use land modes of transport quite often.

If it is not possible to get directly to the destination by metro, the passenger can take:

In the morning, most buses leave from stations and train stations at 5 am. On ordinary days, this type of transport of the capital ends its work most often at 1.30 am.

Many guests and residents of the city would certainly like to know, for example,how long does bus No. 851 "Moscow -Sheremetyevo". This flight ends its work at 1:50.
