"Yandex.Taxi" began to charge taxis

In the middle of summer, the Yandex company announced on Yandex.Taxi a web service on Habre . Service existed before, but only in the form of applications for smartphones. In general, quite a lot of users began to work with the novelty, and after a while the company decided to extract profit from it. So, Yandex.Taxi is now paid for taxis.

The service itself, if you remember, allows the client to find a free car, as well as track its approach (or removal) on the map.

True, the percentage is not so large, only 5%, but the amount can be increased or decreased after agreement with the management of this or that company. According to the developers, charging the commission will not affect the final price of travel for the client.

Yandex believes that the service can become quite profitable, and in 2013 the company expects to receive substantial profits in the amount of $ 3 million (from a $ 60 million turnover). Already in August, after the commission was introduced, orders worth about $ 1 million passed through the service. Actually, one can expect further promotion of Yandex.Taxi, which would entail additional revenues for the company.
