Absolutely. Your Truly Roaming eSIM provides the essential data connection for ride-hailing apps in Russia. Yandex Go is the dominant service, widely used across major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, as Uber and Bolt do not operate there. Instant connectivity for booking rides is crucial for navigating unfamiliar cities, especially when you need to get to a meeting or a coworking space efficiently. Rely on your eSIM for smooth pickups and drop-offs.
