Yandex.Taxi announced the reduction of the minimum travel costs for all tariffs in Moscow. Thus, the rate of “Economy” it has decreased from 199 to 99 rubles. Day for that amount, you can make a trip length of 2 km and a duration of 5 minutes. Every next kilometer and every extra minute on the road will cost 9 rubles.
