For the Yandex taxi drivers, the merger with Uber was not a step forward. They complain that working conditions are now much worse, compensation schemes for canceled rides have been abolished and the payments per assignment are significantly less than with Uber.
Yandex is not only Russia's largest search engine. The company offers consumers more than 70 services, including a taxi exchange and a payment system. In 2018, Yandex merged with the American taxi service Uber. In practice, it was more of an acquisition.
