Yandex Turkey has announced that it has begun testing its ride-hailing application, Yandex Go, in Antalya. The application, which currently serves the districts of Muratpaşa, Kepez, Konyaaltı, Döşemealtı, and Aksu, is aimed to be expanded to a wider area in the future.
Yandex Go uses an algorithm that determines users' locations and directs the nearest driver to them.
It also provides transparency with a feature that calculates the estimated trip fare in advance. Currently, payments are accepted in cash or via card through a terminal located inside the vehicle. After the trip, users can provide feedback by rating the drivers.
Yandex Go Turkey Country Manager Semih Altuğ expressed his satisfaction with the introduction of the application to Turkey, stating, "Comfort, safety, and affordable pricing are the fundamental priorities of our service. We believe the Turkish public will appreciate our service."
The application utilizes technologies such as route generation and smart navigation to improve the experiences of both drivers and passengers. In this way, it aims to enable drivers to work efficiently and reduce urban traffic congestion.
While the application can be downloaded for free from iOS and Android platforms, users can use the app in many languages, including Turkish and English.
It was also stated that this service works with local vehicles and drivers.
