The nearest border crossing is not always the fastest

OptiCord compares every open car crossing between Ukraine and Poland: how long it takes to reach the checkpoint, how long you will queue, and how long the drive is after it. In about a minute you get the best route with Google Maps navigation ready to go.

To crossing Queue After crossing travel time

Runs inside Telegram as a Mini App and a regular chat. Nothing to install. The bot speaks Ukrainian for now.

How it works

A short drive with a long queue loses to a longer drive without one

The bot scores every open crossing separately and adds three legs: the drive to the border, the queue, and the drive after it. Below is one calculation. The shortest drive to the border turns out to be one of the slowest options.

  • To the border
  • Queue
  • After the border

Sample figures, made up but realistic. The bot takes queues from Nakordoni and road times from Google Routes or OpenRouteService.

Queues

Every crossing on one board

The wait at each crossing without planning a route, with the trend and the time of the last measurement. When the data is old, the bot says so instead of hiding it.

Trip tracking

Queues change while you drive. The bot keeps watching

Turn on tracking and share your live location in Telegram. Every 40 minutes the bot rechecks the route and, if another crossing has become noticeably faster, suggests switching. The crossing only changes once you confirm.

    Estimate confidence

    Every figure comes with a score: how complete the data is, how fresh the queue measurement is, and whether the crossing is known to be open. Move the slider to see the score drop as the data ages.

    Confidence 100%

      Through the border? Tell us how long you really waited. Two taps in the app or /report in the chat. For now, reports do not change other drivers’ recommendations.

        Privacy

        Nobody collects your track

        While tracking, Telegram keeps sending new points. OptiCord keeps only two: the latest one and the one where the route was last recalculated. Everything else is overwritten straight away.

        How GPS points are stored during trip tracking

        • Two points, not a track. Each new point replaces the previous one.
        • Deleted immediately. Both points are gone once you stop tracking or the live location ends.
        • Queues without coordinates. Your point only goes to the routing service for a recalculation.
        • No logs. Coordinates never reach the logs and are not shared with anyone.
