Yandex Go launches a taxi price monitoring feature

Yandex is integrating a price index into the Yandex Go app.

The addition of the price index feature will allow users of the aggregator to better plan their trips. For example, the price index will display the current level of demand, as well as show typical price changes throughout the day.

Thus, the Yandex Go app will feature a special graph displaying rush hours and increased demand for taxis.

The algorithm uses data on the number of available cars nearby and the cost of trips over the past four weeks. The selected time period allows for collecting sufficient data, including road and weather conditions. As a result, if prices are higher, Yandex Go will indicate the factors that influenced the trip cost.
