What you need before installing

The app installs on Android 7.0 or newer. Make sure your phone or tablet meets that minimum first. The APK file on APKDown is 49.6 MB, so leave extra free space beyond that number for Android to unpack and process the install.

Check your device architecture too. This build supports x86, x86-64, armeabi-v7a, and arm64-v8a. That covers most Android devices, but it still helps to confirm you are downloading the right file from Minsk Transport - timetables on APKDown before you start.

The app is for offline public transport schedules in Minsk. It works without a network connection for viewing timetables, route stops, and saved favorites. It can also update timetables when a connection is available.

Pro tip: Keep a little extra storage free after installation. Android updates and cache files often need more room than the APK itself.

Get the APK from APKDown and allow one source

Download the APK file from APKDown only. Save it to a place you can find easily, such as the Downloads folder. If your browser blocks the file, choose the download option again and wait for it to finish before opening it.

On Android 8 and newer, the system asks for permission per source. That means you must allow your browser or file manager one time before it can install the APK. On Android 14, the path still follows the same idea, but the menu names may look slightly different depending on your device maker.

  • Android 8+: open the file, then allow installs from the app that delivered it, such as your browser or file manager.
  • Android 14: if prompted, go to the install permission screen for that source and switch on the allow option.

Use only one trusted source at a time. After the install, you can turn that permission off again if you want a stricter setup.

Install the app

  1. 1
    Open the downloaded fileTap the APK in your notifications, Downloads, or file manager to start the package installer.
  2. 2
    Confirm the source permissionIf Android blocks the file, follow the prompt to allow installs from that one app, then return to the installer.
  3. 3
    Review the install screenCheck the app name and package details before you continue. The package name is com.grigerlab.transport.minsk.
  4. 4
    Tap installWait for Android to copy and verify the app. Do not leave the screen while it finishes.
  5. 5
    Open the appWhen the install completes, launch it from the installer or from your app list.

The first launch may take a moment while Android registers the app. If you plan to use the app often, you can save it to your home screen later like any other installed app.

First launch, permissions, updates, and common errors

At first launch, the app may ask for network-related access and notification permission. That fits its features: timetable updates when network is available and notifications tied to app activity. It also lists location permissions, which may be requested depending on how the app handles nearby transport or map-related functions. Grant only what you are comfortable using, then review the rest later in Android settings if needed.

The app’s permission list also includes storage access on older Android setups. If the app asks for file access on your device, allow it only if you want to save or manage app data that depends on local storage. If a permission prompt seems unclear, you can still continue using the parts of the app that do not need it.

To update later, download the newer APK version from APKDown and install it over the current app. Android usually keeps your existing data if the package name stays the same and the signature matches. Before updating, free a little storage space and close the app so the installer can replace files cleanly.

Common install errors:

  • App not installed: usually means the device lacks enough space, the download is incomplete, or you already have a conflicting build with a different signature.
  • Parse error: often points to a damaged download. Re-download the file from APKDown and try again.
  • Blocked by the browser or file manager: enable install permission for that one source, then retry.
  • Incompatible device: check that your device runs Android 7.0 or newer and matches one of the supported architectures.

The app is independent and not affiliated with Minsktrans or any government entity. Its schedules are based on data published by Minsktrans, and users can verify the information on the official source website if they want to compare entries.
