Nizhny Novgorod residents were told the reason for the exorbitant taxi prices
In Nizhny Novgorod, during snowfall, taxi prices are higher due to a shortage of drivers.
Perhaps Nizhny Novgorod residents have already felt the rise in prices due to bad weather. The Yandex Go service explained that tariffs are increasing due to a shortage of drivers on existing routes. Most prefer to stay home and not risk it in icy conditions.
Due to bad weather, many people prefer to travel around the city by taxi. On average, driving time increases during heavy snowfall or icy roads, as drivers drive more carefully. Accordingly, on the first day of bad weather, demand for taxis increased by 15%, and the number of drivers decreased by 10%. In order to save money, Yandex Go advises not to call a taxi during rush hour (7:00 - 9:00, 17:00 - 18:00). It is better to order 10 minutes earlier or later. You can also use the "Together" tariff or change the pick-up point. For example, you can order a taxi not from your home, but from the nearest stop. There is also an alternative option - "Vezet" taxi. During periods of peak demand, fares are several times cheaper than in the Yandex Go app, but you will have to wait longer for the driver. 1,000 rubles per trip: what happened to taxi prices?
