A unique opportunity has become available for Moscow residents - ordering a taxi through any mobile device. This service was organized by the most famous search engine of the Russian Internet and was named "Yandex. Taxi".
The official opening of this service can be dated to the beginning of October 2011. Initially, users could download the app for their mobile devices. On July 3, news appeared about the launch of the web version of the program, which will increase the flow of users of this technology. It is now known that the mobile application has been downloaded over 400,000 times.
There are no restrictions on the web version of this product. All your contact details, past taxi routes, etc. are saved in a common database, which allows you to complete an order in a matter of seconds. You can leave a request in advance and indicate the time when you want to see a taxi.
Yandex concludes contracts only with those taxi companies that have at least 100 cars constantly available. Thus, you can know for sure that you will not have to wait long for a car. However, do not forget that all sentences must be filtered, because some of them may have a high price tag.
All you need to work with this service is authorization (authentication) on the site of the Yandex search engine. To do this, follow the link indicated in the "Additional Sources" section. On the loaded page, enter your username and password in a special form, which is located to the left of the search box, or click the link "Enter mail" and enter a pair of username-password.
The company's prospects are to create similar proposals for other large cities. So far, we are considering 10 cities with a population of more than 1 million inhabitants. Pay attention to the peculiarities of using "Yandex. Taxi", this service was created for profit. Therefore, companies that own fleets of cars will give up to 10% of the proceeds from orders received in this way. Consequently, the fare may increase.
