Yandex Go has added trip price breakdowns to the app, including the exact size of the surge multiplier during high demand. The information is generated for each route and displayed before booking. The calculation includes the pickup fee, base fare, peak period surcharges, and additional options. This allows passengers to decide whether to ride now or wait for demand to decrease, choose a different fare class, or use public transportation.
Passengers will be able to see what makes up the price of each taxi ride, including the exact size of the surge coefficient during high demand. Yandex Go added price breakdown to the app in response to passengers' requests. It is generated for each ride and shown before the passenger orders a taxi for the selected route.
The price breakdown includes several blocks: the cost of dispatching the car, the base fare — the total cost of minutes and kilometers along the route, a surcharge during periods of high demand if applicable, and the cost of additional options, such as for a child seat or for transporting animals.
This price breakdown will help passengers make a decision: whether to travel now or wait until peak demand subsides or traffic congestion decreases, choose another fare option, or adjust the route using public transportation.
