Minsk residents will be able to learn about the actual arrival time of public transport with the help of USSD

the Cost of USSD-request - 468 rubles.

Mobile operator MTS together with the Minsktrans implement in Minsk a new service – information about the actual arrival time of public transport. The service will be available to MTS subscribers from may 1.

in order to know the exact time of arrival, you need to send USSD-request to number of the stop, which is placed on the plate-traffic format *960*stop number# and call button. In response, the subscriber will receive the number of routes passing through this stopping point and the time (in minutes) before the arrival of the nearest transport.

For example, at the bus stop on victory Square with the number 51723 at 9:50 a.m. MTS subscriber dials the phone *960*51723# and presses the "Call". In response, he receives a USSD message: "(09:50) A18-9, A26-16, A39-31". It means that the nearest bus # 18 will arrive in 9 minutes after 9:50 and the bus # 26 will arrive in 16 minutes.



it is Alleged that the arrival time of transport is calculated on the basis of actual traffic conditions (including congestion, accidents, delays in off-peak hours, etc.), rather than static schedules, which is listed on the stops or Internet sites. The location of all the capital's buses, trolleybuses and trams is determined by GPS. This information allows us to calculate the real time of arrival of transport to a stop.

the Cost of a single query for MTS is 468 rubles with VAT. The service is available on ordinary phones, and smartphones.
