Now every user of the "Yandex Go" service will be able to find out the real situation that affected the cost of the order directly in the application. Alexander Anikin, CEO of Yandex Taxi, spoke about the new functionality of the taxi service, which will be implemented before the end of the year.
Yandex Go plans to add a taxi "stock glass" to explain the change in prices during peak demand. By analogy with the stock term, the price of a taxi can be estimated by the totality of influencing factors - at a specific point there is a certain amount of supply and demand.
We cannot influence demand, but we can show why a trip costs, for example, 573 rubles - that this is not from the ceiling.
On the new screen, you can see how many taxi orders are in point A and how many free drivers are nearby. For example, if there are 20 orders and 10 cars nearby, demand exceeds supply, and the price temporarily increases due to the automatic occurrence of an increasing coefficient. The basic service rates for submission, minutes and kilometers will not change.
