Yandex is a Russian Internet service provider whose search engine was launched 1 year before Google and with 64% is the clear market leader in Russia. This is mainly because it can easily handle the Russian language and the Cyrillic alphabet. In addition, there are services such as Yandex.Map, Yandex.Translate, Yandex.Taxi or Yandex.Transport.
The transport app is particularly impressive and lets you track public transport in real time. It offers routes and alternatives, you can see which bus is where, how long it takes until the next tram or connection arrives, where there are traffic problems and of course how long it takes to get from A to B and where you are right now. It is very easy to use (the app automatically switches to the system language of the user), the interface is clear and well designed and even allows a newcomer to immediately move like a local in the megacity Moscow.
