Yandex Go has introduced a new feature called Hub, designed to make city commuting easier and more efficient. With Hub, users can now compare different routes and transportation options all in one place—saving time and reducing the hassle of switching between apps.
All-in-One Travel Planner
Hub integrates multiple modes of transport, including public buses, metro, taxis, scooters, and even car-sharing options. The smart algorithms behind the service analyze several factors such as:
-
Distance
-
Estimated travel time
-
Traffic conditions
-
Transfers
-
Cost of travel
This makes it easier for users to choose the most convenient and affordable route.
Customizable Routes and Instant Bookings
Whether you’re in a rush or prefer less walking, Hub allows you to filter your routes based on personal preferences—like choosing the fastest option or one with minimal walking. Once a route is selected, users can immediately book a taxi or rent a scooter—without switching tabs or using other services.
What’s Coming Next?
Yandex Go has plans to make Hub even more versatile. In the near future, it will support multimodal routes that combine different transport types—like taking a bus partway and a scooter for the last stretch.
Even better, payments will be fully integrated. Users will be able to:
-
Pay for trips directly in the app
-
Buy travel passes
-
Top up transport cards
-
Create and manage a virtual transport card
Final Thoughts
With Hub, Yandex Go is aiming to become a one-stop platform for urban mobility. It’s a timely move in today’s fast-paced cities where convenience and flexibility are key to better commuting.
