Growth of shared mobility segment

One of the most remarkable initiatives promoting the growth and development of the autonomous and shared mobility solutions segment is the Smart Dubai 2021 Strategy . As part of its goals , the strategy aims to pioneer smart , innovative mobility solutions for a seamless and safe transportation experience in the Emirate while also harnessing the power of technologies for increased productivity , efficiency and reduced traffic congestion . Yango has emerged as a key player in this particular segment . In only a year ’ s time , with over 150 million rides , the number of active Yango users globally has tripled , marking a 200 % increase . These figures emphasise the growing demand for innovative shared mobility platforms with a commitment to quality services to enhance the user experience .

A key advantage these platforms offer their users is flexibility and cost-effectiveness . Unlike traditional car rentals , which often require a minimum 24-hour commitment , carsharing services charge users based on their actual usage , down to the minute . This not only ensures efficient utilisation of vehicles , reducing congestion and environmental impact , but also alleviates the financial burdens associated with full car ownership .

As we look ahead , the future of transportation in the UAE holds immense promise . The rise of shared mobility solutions indicates a fundamental shift in consumer preferences towards more efficient transportation options . The UAE government ’ s progressive stance on innovation , combined with collaborations with the private sector , will continue to drive the Digital Transformation of transportation , shaping a more efficient , sustainable and interconnected mobility ecosystem for generations to come . �
