State Duma deputies proposed agreeing to increase taxi prices by more than 20% during peak hours. This was reported to Gazeta.Ru by one of the authors of the initiative, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Control Committee Dmitry Gusev.
From personal experience: Yesterday I used a taxi. The driver chose a route that turned out to be 500–700 meters longer than expected. It is important that such situations are observed, and if Yandex optimizes its algorithms, then the price should be maintained based on the minimum path, providing savings for passengers. The new functionality in the application is good. But it is necessary to approach pricing comprehensively.

The amendments should be taken into account “On the Platform Economy”. By the end of 2024, deputies plan to discuss these changes with the Ministry of Economic Development. [Газета.Ru]
We advise you to test the new Drivee application, where travel is 20% cheaper, the price is set by the “caller”.
