What Affects the Cost of Rides?

The cost of rides on the "Yandex Go" service remains unchanged as the New Year approaches: the price per kilometer and per minute of travel does not fluctuate. However, the final fare may vary depending on demand levels and the number of available drivers on the road.

During the pre-holiday days, people actively use the service, leading to increased demand. Some drivers may also be occupied with holiday preparations and may not be available. To balance supply and demand, the service automatically applies a surge pricing factor that raises the fare. This is a temporary measure that allows those in urgent need of a ride to get one.

The surge pricing attracts more drivers to the road, and once there are enough to accommodate all those wishing to travel, prices revert to normal levels.
