The driver and two passengers of the taxi were killed in an accident in the south-east of Moscow Three people died after the car Taxi Hyundai crashed into a lamp post in the southeast of Moscow. About...Last night, about 20 cars gathered at the Yandex.Taxi headquarters. Several drivers simulated an accident by blocking off part of the road. According to taxi drivers, they wanted to draw attention to the problem of reducing the minimum price of a trip. At this time, the radio station "Echo of Moscow" spread the news that taxi drivers are going to block the work of the service "Yandex.Taxi" on September 23-26 - not to take orders. As a result, six taxi drivers were detained, the police explained the detention as disobedience to the demands of a representative of the authorities. The OMVD for the Khamovniki district told "Snob" that all the taxi drivers had already been released. A day earlier, taxi drivers had already tried to hold a similar protest, but their action was quickly stopped by the police.
The reason for the taxi drivers' dissatisfaction was the reduction by Yandex of the minimum cost of a trip at all tariffs by 100 rubles: for example, in the Economy tariff the minimum cost fell from 199 to 99 rubles. The press service of "Yandex" notes that "short trips for users have become even more accessible." But for taxi drivers, this was unpleasant news. The driver of Yandex.Taxi, Aleksey, told Snob how much he earns and how much he will lose due to the reduction in the price of the trip:
- Yandex reduced the tariff, and my taxi fleet left the plan the same - 6,500 rubles a day. Fifty percent, that is, 3,250, I give to Yandex, the rest is mine, but I still need to cover the cost of gasoline. So I earn 2,500 rubles per shift. I work two days after two - it turns out fifteen shifts a month - 37,500 rubles. But Yandex has lowered the minimum cost of the trip: before, I was guaranteed to receive two hundred rubles per order, now only a hundred. If I have 15-20 orders per day, then I will lose from 1,500 to 2,000 rubles. Ultimately, I will lose about a third of my salary and receive only 27,000 rubles. To fulfill my daily plan and not get penalized, I need to work even harder. And my shift lasts no less than twelve hours. There is no dialogue with anyone: in the taxi company, no one wants to listen, they say: bring daily rate... There is a Yandex representative, but he cannot help in this matter.
Yandex does not see this as a problem. In response to Snob's request, the company's press service replied: “These changes have been carefully prepared, calculated and tested from the point of view of the interests of both users and drivers [...] During these 5 months, the number of short trips lasting up to 5 minutes, and the number of orders for each driver increased by one and a half times. This means that the drivers managed to place more orders per shift, that is, their income did not decrease, and for some it even increased.
In addition, before changing the rates, we discussed the new conditions with partner taxi companies, as well as with some drivers. There were many questions and discussions, and as a result, the new conditions satisfied everyone. We also warned all other drivers about the tariff change in advance ”.
Nevertheless, the strike shows that not all taxi drivers agree to the new working conditions. Today, a police car is on duty at the Yandex office, possibly in anticipation of new protests, although the Yandex press service does not consider yesterday's incident to be something that requires special attention. According to them, this is "a common reaction to any change, whether good or bad."
A taxi driver who works privately under a license at the Kievsky railway station, in a conversation with "Snob" said that "Yandex" lures customers and drives out private traders low prices... Nevertheless, he is not going to switch to work in Yandex.Taxi yet. “In“ Yandex ”people plow for 12 hours, but I have much fewer orders, but I work only for myself and still earn my 30 thousand,” the driver added.
In 2015, about sixty percent of taxi calls in Moscow were accounted for by Uber, Gett, and Yandex.Taxi applications, the number of users of these services is increasing, which means that it will be more and more difficult for private individuals to make money. As for the future prospects, the development of technology is jeopardizing the existence of the profession of a taxi driver: for example, Uber is already testing an unmanned taxi in Pennsylvania. The vehicle is equipped with "a variety of sensors, including radars, laser scanners and high-resolution cameras," the company said; a person is not needed to drive such a car.
Yesterday me in again took a taxi on business. I used to pay it through Apple Pay, on the map, but it was not there.
Taxi drivers one after another began to refuse the trip, learning that I want to pay with her card. At least three of them refused for sure. I had to take the subway.
I was curious why taxi drivers refuse to pay by card. It turns out there is a reason for this.
The commission for drivers has increased
Yandex takes a certain percentage of each trip for the provision of the service. The company's website states that it is 18% for Economy, Minivan and Children's fares. For the rest, the size of the commission is 20.47%.
The company promised to raise the commission on March 23rd. And she did it, but she did not update the information on the website correctly. At a minimum, the commission does not yet include:
- dispatching services
- the cost of using the software
When paying with a card, the entire cost of the trip is debited from taxi drivers at the end of the trip and goes to Yandex. After some time, it is returned to the driver's account minus the commission.
Including VAT, Yandex raises the commission not to 20.47%, but to about 25-26% for expensive tariffs and up to 23-24% for economy. Well, taking into account the connection of taxi drivers to the service (on average 4%), in fact the driver pays up to 30% of the order value.
It turns out that the rates "Comfort" and higher are subject to a commission of 30%, and "Economy" - 28%. That is, in fact, a third of the cost of the trip goes to Yandex.
What consequences await customers now
It turns out that clients cannot often travel for cashless payments... Drivers try in every possible way to bypass card payments and ask to cancel the order.
Cashless payments for taxi drivers are fading into the background, they try to pay either in cash or by transferring from card to card.
And all this is due to the gradual increase in the commission for drivers.
But why does Yandex need it? In this way, the company wants to increase the profitability of the service. You need to earn more and do it as efficiently as possible.
Drivers can change taxi companies within the service, trying to knock out profitable commissions for themselves. But it is problematic to fight the commission. Therefore, taxi drivers often go for tricks in order to make up for themselves at least some part of the money.
But the client does not care about this matter. Regular users of the service, faced with outright rudeness and impudence of drivers, will simply go to other places.
What is the bottom line
I don’t want to sound like an expert in this matter, but personally I can see the disadvantages of increasing the commission. Only Yandex remains in the black.
For drivers: the cost of tariffs is constantly falling, the commission is increasing, there are more taxi drivers, and there are fewer orders. Accordingly, drivers earn significantly less money on trips.
For passengers: booking a trip is becoming more and more problematic each time. Why then continue to use this service if there are other good analogues?
For Yandex.Taxi: everything is very clear here. Yandex gets its benefits from taxi drivers, increasing its own earnings. The most important thing is that it really pays off as it should.
It will be interesting to watch the development of events. But one thing I know for sure: angry, arrogant and disgruntled drivers have already led to the death of traditional taxis. It will be a shame if my favorite service also collapses before our eyes.
Several situations happened to me and I will tell you about them.
First. It was in the city of Oryol. I called a taxi home and the tariff showed me the final amount of 171 rubles. Fine! I chose to pay by card and went. When I got into the car, the navigator "advised" to go through the center, but the taxi driver said that he was tired of the navigator and would go by a shorter route. But here the navigator seemed to be showing the longest way. Okay, having arrived home, I will get out of the car, and I receive a notification that the trip was not 171, but about 250 rubles, since the route was changed. I am at a loss, since the driver himself chose this route and there is no fault of mine, especially since he was driving a faster and shorter route. I wrote to the support service and they treated me with understanding and returned this money to me, but not in fact, but gave a promo code for 100 rubles for the next trip. It all ended well.
Story two. The application is written by the driver on the way and will be in 2 minutes. We sit and wait .... 5 minutes have passed ... 7 minutes .... The taxi on the map is just spinning around its axis on the road. We call the driver and ask where is he? Answer: "I've been waiting for you for 10 minutes !!!". We got into a taxi and were charged with waiting. We asked the taxi driver why he didn’t call us? He replied that he was waiting specifically for the time to check whether it was true that if the driver waits for 10 minutes, then Yandex pays for it and the driver can go to another order. Also, all the way they listened to mats from the driver, to which the windshield had broken a stone, he was not embarrassed that the passenger was a girl, and that people were not familiar at all. Swearing like a shoemaker. He said that if you knock down a pedestrian, then nothing will happen, since the rules say to let pedestrians pass, and so on.
Story three. I moved to another city. To Moscow.
There are very impudent drivers here. They press "wait" before arriving. They ask to cancel the order. I called a taxi, I'm waiting .. It was announced that the Kia would arrive, the driver calls, says that the polo will arrive, and in general I'm waiting for you, cancel the order and I'll take you for the same cost. Naturally, I refused. And they charged me a debt of 50 rubles, I did not pay it, these are not my problems, that the taxi is not checked before leaving.
Story four. The specialist went to the hospital, the distance is short, a taxi cost about 70 rubles, it was possible to walk, but I could not walk because of back problems. A driver arrives who does not know Russian at all. He asks for the address where to go, replied that if I show the way (although the order contains everything and the address and he has a navigator open) and he tells me, AT LEAST REMINDER, I ALREADY SIT IN THE CAR and waited for a taxi for another 8 minutes. GIRL I HAVE ALREADY STARTED THE NAVIGATOR TO HOME CALL ANOTHER TAXI. In broken Russian. I tell him, I’m already sitting with you, take me, it’s not far, I’ll show you the way. In response: But I have already built the navigator home.
Now prices have skyrocketed, why it is not clear. Before work 2 weeks I went along the same path and address for 300 rubles, today 650 for the same and at the same time. Yesterday 541.
There is no more ointment to use this taxi. She told the brightest stories.
Other taxis are appearing now, they are much cheaper. Even for example, she called a taxi and got there for 290, and the same Yandex is already 650. Previously, the prices were good and the drivers were adequate.
On the other hand, drivers do not want to take orders for cheap, for short distances and out of town. That's why long time waiting for about 7 minutes.
And so, how to use this taxi and can more or less survive:
1. Only cash!
2. Asking to cancel? Get out of the taxi or write what the driver asked, because then your rating will drop.
3. If it is long and expensive, do not forget that there are other taxis!
A Moscow taxi driver found a way to hack the Yandex.Taxi application and be the first to receive orders. He told his story to the Moslent newspaper.
According to the driver, Yandex.Taxi and Gett are the most popular taxi services in Moscow, and, unlike Uber, they allow you to make good money thanks to high prices for customers. At the same time, Yandex cooperates only with professional taxi drivers and only at the level of taxi companies and dispatch services - without registering individuals.
This causes certain difficulties for drivers, including the need to create dispatch services through which they can register with Yandex.Taxi. At the same time, part of the money earned goes to these services, and part to Yandex.
However, the taxi driver was not confused by this, but by the problems with the rating, which directly affects the number of orders. This indicator, earned by "enormous labor", fell sharply several times from a level of about 4.9 (maximum - 5.0) to 3.3-3.4.
No customer complaints, no order disruptions, no bad grades didn’t seem to have happened. Why "sort of", because the driver has no way to find out about the reasons for the drop in the rating. Yandex does not communicate directly with drivers! And he only pretends to communicate with taxi companies (I have never been able to receive a response from Yandex to a request from a taxi company). When your rating drops, you stop receiving orders.
Yandex.Taxi driver
When the driver tried to contact Yandex directly to find out why there are sharp drops in the rating, the company told him that they did not communicate with taxi drivers.
My persistence did succeed, and I got through to some manager who you know what he did? Phoned to CEO my company, who simply kicked me out of there! What to do in such a situation? Right! In any way, overcome this "Yandex".
Yandex.Taxi driver
After that, the driver spent three to four months learning how to decompile and “rebuild” the Yandex.Taxometer Android application (Yandex.Taxi driver's client). This allowed him to change how the program calculates his rating, as well as to receive priority when ordering a car.
I became the only (hopefully) Moscow taxi driver with a similar priority. There are drivers with a priority assigned by Yandex itself, but, as you understand, I decided not to wait for mercy from the service, but to take everything into my own hands. Many even approached me with a request to sell the program.

Screenshot of the Yandex.Taxometer application
The man claims that a "caste" of those who hacked the application has already formed among the drivers, but his assembly, according to him, is unique. Despite all attempts by Yandex to eliminate the vulnerability, it managed to find loopholes over and over again.
Will I achieve full control over the "Y. Taxometer" again? Do not know. But having learned the essence of the work after a thorough study of the application, I can now, in principle, and without any edits, have, if not all, but many advantages over the drivers.
Here is my answer to Yandex, which considers it beneath its dignity to communicate with drivers and regularly arrange a real hell at work for taxi drivers in the form of almost daily program glitches and imperfections, although the program existed in test mode for more than six months.
