Yango app. launched a "premium" service that guarantees a large and luxurious taxi

 Yango,the Russian taxi app and the main competitor in the country of the Get app, recently launched a "premium" service that guarantees a large and luxurious taxi order, such as Mercedes or Toyota Camry models.
The supplement to the service varies depending on the travel distance, between 10% and 30% beyond the regular travel price. The extra is small the longer the trip is. For example, a 5-minute ride inside Rishon Lezion last night was offered at a pre-determined price of NIS 22.1 on the regular FIX route and NIS 29.3 on the premium service. A trip from Rishon LeZion to Ashkelon, on the other hand, was offered at a price of NIS 205 in the regular service and NIS 230 in the premium.
Yango launched the new service under the radar, and did not release the move. The company continues to offer the FIX service, after Transport Minister Miri Regev froze a decision by the professional echelon in the ministry to ban the company from offering the service, arguing that pre-determination is contrary to traffic regulations that require private travel to pay a taxi driver only by meter Discount from the price, as determined between the driver and passenger.
The premium service presents a price significantly higher than the price of the FIX service, which may even turn out to be more expensive than the price of the trip per meter.
Miango said that since the peak service offers an average discount of 20% of the fare per meter, the premium service does not exceed the maximum fare allowed for a taxi.
The Ministry of Transportation responded: "According to the law, taxi drivers in Israel are required to operate a meter on every trip. It is strictly forbidden to charge an additional fee for any trip not defined in the traffic regulations, including vehicle type. In any case of refusal to operate a meter, the passenger may file a complaint with the Ministry of Transportation.
