Helping people get places, safely and comfortably

The ride-hailing platform takes full advantage of in-house Yandex technology, including:

• Maps
• Routing and navigation
• Smart order distribution

Road safety is a top priority, maintained through cutting-edge safety technology developed internally, with features such as speed monitoring and driving style analysis during orders. If a driver exceeds the speed limit or makes dangerous maneuvers, the system registers it as a violation, and the driver receives a warning notification in the driver app. If the situation does not improve after several notifications, the algorithm restricts the driver’s access to the service.

With operational experience in over 25 countries and proprietary technology, the platform can quickly adapt to any market.

Globally, the platform connects with over 700,000 active drivers on a monthly basis.
