Yandex.Taxi introduces new tariffs

    One of the main tasks that we wanted to solve when creating Yandex.Taxi was to give a normal taxi car quickly in a big city. Remember, before people had to vote by the side of the road or ring taxi cabs and wait forty minutes for a car. With the advent of Yandex.Taxi and other services for ordering, the situation began to change. Now you can call a taxi using the application or SMS, and the average time for giving a car in Moscow is only 5-7 minutes.

    We believe that this task has actually been solved for Moscow. But she is not the only one. One of the reasons Muscovites still use the services of private owners is the high price of a minimum taxi order. In many taxi parks, it is 400-450 rubles. People are often not ready to pay this money when they need to drive a couple of blocks - for example, to get to the metro in the rain or to bring food from the supermarket. We have repeatedly received messages from users that they have to pay extra for trips over short distances. Together with taxi companies, we want to rectify this situation and make short taxi rides affordable.



    Having discussed the problem with our partners, from May 1 we decided to change the minimum order parameters in Moscow. The minimum order for the “Economy” tariff will include only 10 minutes of the trip and cost no more than 199 rubles during the day, and at night and on weekends - within 249. Extra time will be paid at the rate of not more than 14 rubles / min. in the daytime and 15 rubles / min. - at night and on weekends. For example, a user will pay no more than 199 rubles for a trip from the Babylon shopping center to Soloviny Passage during the day.


    Travel conditions at fixed prices will also change. So, an economy class trip from the city center to Sheremetyevo will cost no more than 950 rubles, and to Domodedovo - no more than 1000 rubles. The allowances for trips beyond the MKAD will be the same as before, and the routes along the ring road will become cheaper: traffic along the MKAD will no longer be charged separately.

    New conditions will be beneficial for both taxi companies and service users. Taxi services will gain access to the segment of short trips and will be able to increase the number of orders. And users will pay less for short trips in Moscow. For most of our partners, trips up to 30 minutes will become cheaper - there are now over 60% of such orders with Yandex.Taxi.
