Yandex has opened access to fuel availability and queue information at gas stations for all users of Yandex Go and Yandex Zapravki.
The feature was previously available only to taxi drivers.
The data is collected using technology similar to 'Probski' and information from 'Kart' (Yandex Maps).
Data sources include fuel orders in Yandex Zapravki and driver surveys.
The feature is currently in testing for Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The rollout to other cities is planned for the coming weeks.
Fuel shortages in Russia began in late May.
