Tuesday, July 15, was marked for the capital of Russia by many hours of tropical rains and puddles that turned into seas. But there are people who were able to make money on bad weather — we are talking about taxi drivers whose services have risen in price by 2-3 times. Details are provided by TASS.
"There are more orders than cars. Due to bad weather," the Yandex Go application said.
There were not enough cars due to the increase in demand, but also for the reason that drivers simply refused to leave in bad weather.
Even scooters were snatched up, while kicksharing services warned about the dangers of trips. Yandex.Food customers, on the other hand, received a warning that deliveries were delayed "because of a maze of puddles."
Warnings on July 15 were also published by specialized auto-publications covering the topic of safe driving. The telegram channel "Safe Driver" strongly recommended that you refuse to travel on this day.
