2024: Availability of push notification of arrival of buses at the desired stop

Users of the mobile application "Transport of the Moscow Region" have become available push notifications about the arrival of buses at the desired stop. The developer announced this on May 6, 2024.

The service has supplemented the information functionality implemented in the application. Previously, as in other transport applications, it was possible to receive general push notifications - about changes in the schedule, events in the region or others. Now "Transport of the Moscow Region" offers another, more targeted and personalized service.

The passenger is notified when the desired bus will arrive at the selected stop. In this case, you do not need to go to the application: the message is displayed on the lock screen.

To use the service, it is enough to make only a few clicks in the "Transport of the Moscow Region." To do this, you need:

• launch the application and select the desired stop on the map of the main screen;
• in the right corner of the pop-up window click on the "Subscription" button;
• on the screen that opens, select the buses whose arrival time you want to know at the stop. At the same time, no more than five vehicles can be specified;
• Click Save.

2023: Payment for travel on public transport by geolocation

In December 2023, in the Moscow region, they launched payment for travel in public transport by geolocation. The application itself creates a ticket that must be paid in the same program.

According to the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure of the Moscow Region, passengers traveling on route No. 478 "Zhukovsky - m. Kotelniki" can evaluate the innovation.

In the Moscow region, they launched payment for travel in public transport by geolocation - the application itself creates a ticket

To use the payment for travel by geolocation, you should turn on Bluetooth, open the "Transport of the Moscow Region" application, and it itself will determine which bus and at which stop the passenger sat down, which route follows and what fare on this route. After payment, the application will form an electronic ticket, which can be presented to the controller.

Passengers can also pay for travel using a special QR code placed in the cabin of the buses of the pilot route. In the mobile application "Transport of the Moscow Region" you need to click the "Payment" button, scan the QR code and confirm the payment.

According to the initiators of this project, new ways to pay for travel will significantly save passengers' time when boarding and reduce travel time. Based on the results of the pilot project, a decision will be made on the feasibility of introducing the service on all public transport routes in the Moscow region.

Speaking about the convenience of the new service, Rossiyskaya Gazeta observers noted that multi-stage fares for public transport have been implemented in the Moscow region. If a passenger moves within the boundaries of one settlement, one tariff applies. If you travel from one district to another, payment is charged according to a different system. And if the bus route ends in a neighboring subject - in Moscow, the third calculation formula is applied. Therefore, now in buses with validators you need to attach a card twice - at the time of entry and before exit. Paying for travel by geolocation significantly speeds up the process.^[1]
