Yandex Maps has learned to combine taxis and metro into one route

Combined routes with taxis and metro have appeared in Yandex Maps. This will allow, for example, to choose a route with ordering a car to the nearest or more suitable metro station.

Now combined routes are already available in the Android application in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The maps themselves will suggest the optimal station to start your trip and calculate the total travel time taking into account the traffic situation, and a taxi can be ordered directly at the stage of choosing a route.

The starting station is chosen to make the entire trip more convenient. For example, it may be located not on the nearest, but on a neighboring metro line, if this will allow you to get there faster or reduce the number of transfers.

Using Yandex Maps data on traffic lanes, signs and parking, cartographers marked 936 drop-off points near stations. These are the places where taxi drivers will be able to stop the car and drop off a passenger without breaking the rules.
