Abu Dhabi Mobility has introduced an exciting new taxi booking service through the Yango app, a globally recognized ride-hailing platform. This innovative service allows passengers in the emirate to conveniently book public and private taxis, as well as licensed private vehicles.
Yango App: Enhanced Ride-Hailing Experience
The Yango mobile app is now available for free download on both iOS and Android, supporting multiple languages including Arabic and English. With over 1,500 registered taxis, the app aims to streamline the transportation process in Abu Dhabi. Users can easily book a taxi by specifying their destination, and with geolocation enabled, the app will quickly connect them to the nearest available driver.
Impressive Trial Results
During its trial phase, the Yango service has already made a significant impact, with more than 8,000 trips completed by over 300 taxis within the emirate over the past five months. This success highlights the app’s effectiveness and growing popularity among Abu Dhabi’s residents.
Features and Benefits
One of the key features of the Yango app is its focus on passenger convenience and security. The app helps address concerns about lost items in taxis by encouraging drivers to return found belongings either to their owners or to the nearest police station. Drivers are also required to document and report all lost items to Abu Dhabi Mobility, ensuring a reliable process for recovering personal belongings.
Alternative Booking Options
In addition to Yango, commuters in Abu Dhabi can also use the Abu Dhabi Taxi app or call 600535353 to book a taxi. This provides multiple options for residents to choose the most convenient method for their transportation needs.

Abdulla Al Marzouqi, Director General of the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility), emphasized the benefits of integrating international apps into the local transport system. “By offering this service through Yango, we enhance the efficiency of taxi operations and facilitate electronic bookings for all community members. This initiative aligns with our goals to reduce carbon emissions and improve overall transport efficiency.”
