Yandex Go told when it is more profitable to order a taxi on New Year's holidays

Taking a taxi on New Year's Eve or the festive night itself can be quite difficult and expensive, so it is better to think over your movements in advance, choosing a more favorable time for travel. Here are some tips from the employees of the Yandex Go service that will help you save money.

• December 24, on Saturday, it will be more profitable to order a taxi before lunch and at the end of the day - until 14:00 and in the interval from 19:00 to 21.00. At this time, there should be fewer people buying gifts and treats, which means that the demand for taxis will not be so high.
• December 25, on Sunday, it is better to plan a trip before 18:00 - in the evening taxis are ordered more often and the price may increase for a while.
• 31th of December it is more profitable to order a taxi before 20:00 or starting from 22:00, since in the evening almost everyone has already finished their business, which means there are more free cars and the cost of the trip should be lower.

• 1st of January after the chiming clock and until 2:30 at night, many people do not sit at home, but go for a walk or visit. There will be fewer drivers on the line, and the demand for taxis is starting to rise - so during this period, the price of a trip may be higher than usual. The best time to visit, go for a walk or, conversely, return home is from 2:30 to 4:30.
• 1st of January in the morning, it is better to order a taxi from 08:00 to 11:00: at this time, drivers start to get on the line, and by this time most people have already reached home after the celebrations. In the afternoon, more profitable trips will be after 15:00.

To make it easier to plan your trips, the Yandex Go application has a Demand Index - a special informer that shows the level of demand for cars in real time. Follow him if you have the opportunity to wait a bit and leave, for example, a little later.

Also, Yandex Go reminded that the service algorithm can offer you to walk a few minutes to your destination after completing the trip. This will bring the price down a bit. And if you choose the “Together” option, which allows the driver to take two passengers with similar routes, then the savings will be even more significant.
