Aquabuses will be launched almost today, but electric transport - probably before the end of June. As planned, at the expense of private investors it was developed mobile application“To make the portal more accessible, a person can not only find out where his bus is before leaving home or work, but also right from the stop, logging in from a gadget and seeing a map.”
