In Kharkiv, a Yandex Taxi driver threatened at night to “take the girl wherever he wants” if she did not pay 10 hryvnias extra

“I said it nicely: pay whatever you see fit.”

A video of the girl's conversation with the taxi driver, posted by the girl on Instagram, appeared on the Kharkiv 1654 page. As the conversation in the recording shows, the taxi driver reproaches the passenger for ordering specifically Yandex Taxi, saying it was “cheaper for her.” The driver, who is himself connected to the Yandex Taxi system, asks the girl to “give extra money, as all normal people do.” At the same time, he addresses the girl in a rude tone, switching to the informal “you.” According to the girl, the driver threatened her that if she did not pay extra, he would “take her wherever he wants.” It is worth noting that the trip took place at 4:47 a.m. 

Later, the girl showed a screenshot with  the order details and the correspondence with the driver after the trip ended. The girl posted screenshots of her exchange with the driver online (to view the entire correspondence, swipe right).

The driver is reportedly listed as Serhiy Sokolov. He drives a beige Hyundai Accent with state license plates AP 3325 EH. In the correspondence, the driver insults the girl, after which he states: “I have never seen such cheapskates before.”
