The studied service receives mixed reviews for the existing taxi fleet. The fact is that the majority of drivers work on a personal car. Therefore, cars in Yandex. Taxi are different - both foreign and domestic cars. Their condition may also differ.

The main thing is that the majority of vehicles drive without identification marks. Therefore, it is rather difficult to guess that this particular car came from Yandex.

The comfort of a taxi, as already emphasized, also varies. But many users say that the majority of cars are no different in comfort. What kind of car will come to the call? If we get lucky!

Travel costs

How much is the cost of a trip in Yandex. Taxi? For this feature, users leave mixed reviews about the service. Why?

If you believe what the Yandex.Taxi dispatcher says, then ordering a car will cost at least 49 rubles. The exact cost of the trip depends on the parameters of the trip and the distance traveled. The approximate price is given when ordering a taxi. So a person can evaluate how profitable it is to use Yandex Taxi.

Many people say that it is difficult to predict the cost of trips through Yandex. Taxi. When using promo codes, you can really save. But ordinary trips often require huge expenses. You will have to pay extra for a child car seat, luggage in the cabin and other features of the trip. This must be taken into account.

Some say that the service being studied is cheating customers. For example, someone is promised a trip for 150 rubles, but in the end it costs 520 rubles. Such ambiguity repels customers. But in general, "Yandex. Taxi" is an affordable public transportation service. Mistakes in rough estimates of the cost of a trip happen here quite often. Therefore, it is advisable to find out the exact price for transportation directly from the driver or dispatcher after ordering the car.

Service Speed

The speed of servicing the population when using the studied service pleases. The bulk of customers assure that cars really quickly arrive at the named addresses. 5-10 minutes of waiting - and the taxi will be there. Sometimes taxi drivers arrive at the place of order in a few minutes.

But not everything is as good as it seems. Sometimes cars take a long time to the specified address with the client. And this is despite the fact that the application/website calls a shorter waiting time for a taxi. Someone even complains that instead of 2 minutes the taxi driver had to wait 25-30 minutes.
