FAS has recognized Yandex.Taxi as dominant on the Russian market. This was reported by the press service of the agency, noting that cases of abuse of a dominant position are a reason to analyze the economic feasibility of increasing and taking antimonopoly response measures. However, at present, the possible response measures of the FAS of Russia are limited, the agency added.

Comments by Robert Yan, an jordan whatsapp number database expert on urban transport and taxis, administrator of the channel "BuroIKS. Urban Transport": "The deal with Uber was in 2015, at that time there were still Vezet and Maxim, major players in the market, Yandex did not have a monopoly even with the acquisition of Uber, only in Moscow they received a large market share. Then Yandex decided to buy the Vezet group, the FAS imposed a ban on this deal, because in this case Yandex would have received a monopoly in many regions. Yandex very intricately circumvented this restriction, concluding a deal to purchase the allegedly cargo segment of Vezet, but in fact bought the entire company, that is, violated the FAS order. And the FAS did nothing in relation to Yandex, that is, this is a question for the FAS, why it did not do anything. And then there were objective changes in the market: Gett left, Deli left, Citymobil's position weakened, because At that time, Citymobil signed a contract with Gett. Gett left and, accordingly, partially lost the market and Citymobil. Now there are two major players on the market. This is the taxi service Maxim, it is very strong, it is present beyond the Urals, and the service Yandex. But in fact, Yandex has the opportunity to dump, has investment opportunities to develop various marketing programs. Maxim does not have such opportunities, because it is only a taxi service, and Yandex is a large ecosystem. FAS actually said what drivers and passengers see: in most regions, Yandex is practically the only player at the federal level that offers car ordering services. For Yandex, at the moment, this is a signal that if the rights of taxi market participants, directly carriers and consumers, passengers, are significantly violated, the FAS may initiate to overcome the moratorium on Yandex and conduct an inspection.

A moratorium on scheduled business inspections was established by the Russian government last year and extended until 2023. According to the document, scheduled inspections can only be carried out at facilities in extremely high and high risk categories.

On November 27, Moscow Yandex.Taxi clients noted, as Prime writes, that the cost of a morning ride increased by 1.5-2 times due to snowfall. At the same time, for some the price increased by 150-200 rubles, for others - by 700-900 rubles. Usually a long ride of 40-45 minutes at the same time costs 700-1000 rubles, a short one, about 10 minutes, - 200-250 rubles.

In mid-October, it was reported that the FAS received complaints from Russians regarding the blocking of drivers and passengers in the Yandex.Taxi service for violating the terms of the offer.
