Disgustingly implemented routing in the metro - unlike Yandex.Metro, here you can’t even choose an alternative route.

The built-in metro map is not presented in a format familiar to any person, but in the form of an alphabetical list of stations.

There is no rubricator in the “Routes” section. To see trolleybus routes, you have to scroll down for a very long time on absolutely all bus routes.

Terrible functionality and terrible Soviet design, developed under Leonid Ilyich.

Users report outdated information about parking spaces.

It is possible to display non-existent fines that are not available on the traffic police website.

The application as a whole does not live up to its name, since it does not provide useful information and significant amenities for people using public transport.
