Residents of Mykolaiv complained about malfunctioning GPS tracking of public transport<\/strong>. According to passengers, buses are shown in mobile apps as being on the route or already at the stop, although in fact the vehicle is not there.<\/p>\n

Relevant reports appeared in the Facebook group Contact Center<\/strong> at the Mykolaiv City Council<\/strong>. In particular, Kateryna Tyshchenko<\/strong> reported problems with bus route \u21161<\/strong>, which connects the plant “Okean”<\/strong> with the Ternivka<\/strong> neighborhood.<\/p>\n

“The GPS tracking shows that the bus is already at the stop, although in fact it isn’t there”, \u2014 wrote<\/a> the resident.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to her, this situation has occurred repeatedly, causing passengers to be unable to leave for Ternivka.<\/strong> Other users reported similar problems with the display of bus \u211679<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The complaints were responded to by the press secretary of KP “Mykolaivpastrans”, Kateryna Stokolyas<\/strong>. She explained that the enterprise does not control third-party mobile apps, but only provides them with information about bus movement. According to her, during air raid alerts GPS trackers are muted for safety reasons<\/strong>. After the signal is restored, the equipment does not always start correctly, which can cause vehicles to be shown with a delay or remain on the map in the wrong place. Kateryna Stokolyas<\/strong> added that in Mykolaiv<\/strong> there are certain areas where buses can temporarily disappear from the map even without an alert being announced.<\/p>\n

Passengers were advised to use the “Transport movement online” on the official website of KP “Mykolaivpastrans”<\/a><\/strong> section. The enterprise’s page offers an interactive map that should show the locations of city buses in real time.<\/p>\n
