Therefore, using the usual app, you can call a taxi, for example, from the airport to a famous hotel or to the main streets of the city. However, other locations will be inaccessible in most cases.
In our travel guide, for any transport terminal or landmarks of each city, in addition to instructions on how to get there by public transport, we will provide a link to the YandexGo

BOOK A RIDE CORRECTLY!
Why is it sometimes necessary to indicate not the exact address, but the name of the area?
The point is that a private transfer service is not a taxi. Therefore, the company's server contains the address base of only the largest and most popular objects among potential passengers. But this does not mean that you cannot order a transfer exactly where you want.
So, enter the starting and ending points of your route. Replace the data or direction in the form above, if necessary. First, try to specify exact address of your location / your hotel name. And if the booking system cannot find your place, then specify in the form the name of the area/district of the town as the point of departure or arrival. And the exact address of departure / arrival, in this case, enter on the second step of booking.
If you are not sure or don't know, then this is not a problem! Just find this point on the map, copy the coordinates (in this option, that is, latitude and longitude, for example - 55.415875, 37.899344) and paste into the booking form. The system itself will understand which area you are looking for. Or do it like this

A universal phrase is asking for help. Say this to any person, both staff at any store and just a passer-by on the street.
The Russian word 'PAZHALUSTA / ПОЖАЛУЙСТА' (please) is difficult enough to pronounce, so there is no problem if you just say 'PAMAGITE MNE / ПОМОГИТЕ МНЕ' (help me).
If you loudly shout one word 'PAMAGITE ! / ПОМОГИТЕ !' (help!), then those around you will understand that you need the police or an ambulance.
