For example, in the registry “We have Yandex Taxi” (we are talking about companies subject to a moratorium on audits. – “socialbites.ca”) and we cannot check them either. And now we can. And there are a lot of complaints out there. The company actually has a dominant position of 80%. It is different in different regions, but no less in Moscow. There are separate questions there. They concern the procedure for blocking consumers and drivers. “These relate to the procedure for calculating wages and fees,” he explained.
This is before FAS put forward Serious complaints against Yandex Taxi due to the pricing algorithm of services.
Last year our ministry accepted More than 300 complaints against the aggregator due to travel expenses and measures taken by the company regarding the blocking of drivers and passengers.
Meanwhile, the head of the Russian Passengers Union, Kirill Yankov accused FAS allows Yandex Taxi to become a monopolist.
