Review
Other than taxi service, by their app, you can find most of the public transport locations in Armenia. They have lots of different taxi services which can fit your needs. Another good side of Yandex Taxi is that there are lots of drivers and you can get a taxi in less than 5 minutes.
However, YandexGo has lots of downsides. It is the most negatively recognized taxi service in Yerevan. There are many complaints like the car plates don’t match, or the driver refused to pick me up at my location, or the driver was rude and even harassing clients.
In addition to that, their service is falsely advertised. While using a Minivan service from YandexGo, an Opel Zafira cannot fit 6 people. While using Kids service, the child cannot be more than 36kg, which is ridiculous.
