In Kiev can close every third taxi service

Firms can not compete with online services.

The capital’s taxi market began a global redistribution. Mobile application to order a car actively absorb clients classic dispatching services. Last suffering because of this loss, and many are forced to put your business for sale.

As said the head of Ukrainian taxi Association Andrey Antonyuk, at the end of last year in Kiev was sold to hundreds of services, but to get rid of them were not all — have been only a single transaction.

“The company was sold at a price of $1 thousand to $20 thousand They could buy, for example, for a “nice” number and title. And potential buyers is very small. Therefore, many services have simply shut down,” says Antoniuk.

This trend was confirmed to us in the taxi services. “In the capital instead of the 300 companies in the fall may be 100. The competition, which was created by Uber, “Yandex”, etc., many were not. A piece of cake newcomers have already snapped off and, until they make their clientele and drivers will not stop,” — said in a conversation with us the administrator of one of the capital’s dispatching services.

Due to losses classic taxi service has decided not to lower raised for the new year holidays prices. How to write “News”, if the cost per kilometer for the New year were higher than normal on average 30-50 kopecks, now it is lowered only by 15-30 kopecks.

Today the tariff for supply of cars taxi services is about 40-50 UAH, and the cost of a kilometer –
4 to 20 UAH.

As noted by Andrey Antonyuk, to stay afloat, some of the traditional service began to introduce the possibility of ordering a taxi online. “If a year ago such services were 5-10%, but now they have twice. Some offline services even began to cooperate with aggregators for a certain percentage of orders just to stay afloat. The share of online orders on the market will only increase. Already, it is not easy to make even a new application, to which the investor is willing to spend about 3 million UAH”, — he said.
