Мобильное приложение "Умный транспорт" поможет Вам узнать местоположение и прогнозы прибытия транспорта на нужную остановку в разных городах России и СНГ. Если Вашего города нет в приложении, значит нам не предоставляют информацию о движении транспорта. Оценивайте не количество городов, а качество и удобство приложения! Мы с удовольствием добавим любой город, если с нами будут сотрудничать! Прогнозы рассчитываются на основе информации о движении транспорта, которую нам предоставляют наши партнёры в регионах. Поэтому, если Вы не нашли какой-то маршрут в прогнозах, это значит, что либо транспорт не оборудован ГЛОНАСС/GPS терминалом, либо этот терминал неисправен/не работает в данный момент, либо к нам в принципе не поступает информация по данному маршруту. Прогнозы на сервере обновляются каждые 20-40 секунд, при расчетах учитываются текущие пробки.
