Sharjah Taxi  has recorded 1 million trips through the Yango app since launching its digital booking service in February 2025, reflecting the growing demand for smart mobility solutions and customers’ confidence in the company’s digital services. The achievement further contributes to enhancing the efficiency of the transport sector and advancing the public transport experience across the Emirate of Sharjah.

The service enables users to book taxis quickly and conveniently through the Yango app, while also allowing them to track their journeys, access trip details and make electronic payments. The initiative aligns with the Government’s digital transformation agenda and enhances the quality of services provided to customers.

“Reaching 1 million trips through the Yango app reflects the success of our efforts to advance smart mobility services and meet our customers’ expectations by providing modern, safe and user-friendly transport solutions.
