Yandex Go: Taxi Food Delivery 4+

I normally don’t write reviews but this time i want to suggest an idea for this app. App itself is great and comfortable to use but there is one but. Developers, I wonder why i cant rate the ride after finishing. I thought you normally rate something after you receive it? Please, allow the chance to rate after the ride. Thank you.

Now that Moscow has a massive fleet of licensed cabs, getting around is significantly easier (and arguably safer). This app - in English - is easy to navigate and fairly reliable. At least drivers are almost unable to cheat the system.

But expect drivers to still try and demand cash, even if you pay by card; some ignore the maps and drive into traffic jams, others insist on loud radios and smoking - whether you’ve asked them to stop or not. Then there’s the usual ‘standard’ of Russian driving to endure. Drivers also lack the common sense to watch the road instead of the app - missing turnings or taking circuitous routes.

Vehicle tracking in the app is increasingly hit-and-miss. Cars either aren’t being pinpointed accurately, or drivers hang about for a smoke for several minutes before bothering to collect you.

Always gets coordinates wrong, then drivers charge extra for the time spent trying to locate you. There used to be Uber in St Petersburg which was far more efficient and cheaper but then they pulled out. Technically it is said that Yandex acquired it in Russia, but in reality there are no likes of Uber in the country. Just the way competition works here I suppose.
