- I enter a title of station, and your system writes, that such station is not present.
- Probably, you incorrectly have indicated a title of station. For example, instead of "Feodosiia" you have indicated "Feodossiia", or instead of "Kishineu" - an old title of "Kishinev". To avoid similar problems, try to specify a not full title of station, and only initial letters. For example, "Feod" for Feodosiia, "Kish" for Kishineu etc. Please let us know if station title was missed.
- I would like to find trains between two cities and I enter titles of stations, as is indicated at you search form: "Dnepropetrovsk …" And "Kiev …". But there are not stations.
- You have indicated in an extremity of a title of station superfluous points. According to our search form "Prefix search (Kiev...)": the points are shown to explain to the user, what the difference between two kinds of search (context-sensitive and prefix).
- What the difference between two kinds of search: context-sensitive and prefix?
- For example, in case of prefix search all stations begin on a title, entered by you will be searched. If you will use context-sensitive search - all stations containing specific by you title in any part will be searched. For example, prefix request for "Kiev" will issue the following: KIEV MOSKOVSKII, KIEV PAS, KIEV PETROVKA, KIEV VOLYNSKII, KIEVSKII. And the context-sensitive search for "Kiev" will issue the following: ENAKIEVO, KIEV MOSKOVSKII, KIEV PAS, KIEV PETROVKA, KIEV VOLYNSKII, KIEVSKII, LGOV KIEV, MOSKVA KIEVSKAIA, NOVOKIEVKA.
- I search for a train number 41 and the whole list of such trains was shown to me. Why?
- Because the numerical number of a train, to which the passengers have got used the concrete train does not determine unequivocally. Railways are used for unequivocal identification of a train its service code, which apart from of figures contains the letter in an extremity. That is why there are some trains with number 41, but going on different routes. It also caused necessity to specify route of a train for getting a train traffic route.
- I can not understand with periodicity of movement of trains on station. Why the periodicity of movement begins not with Sunday?
- The periodicity of traffic of a train is formed "on the fly" at the moment of your request and shows traffic of a train for 7 days forwards, since a current day. That is why, if you come to us Tuesday, you will see periodicity of traffic since Tuesday till Monday of the next week. Agree, such mechanism is more convenient, especially, if today Sunday.

Our numerous letters to the largest mobile operators of Ukraine and Russia infortunately, have remained without the answer.

Our attempts to decide this question with operators have remained without the answer.
- Why SMS from yours site do not reach on my telephone?
