Yango Group, a global tech company, has launched an AI-powered management platform to help city transport authorities and operators manage public transport more efficiently. The launch comes as congestion rose in 62% of urban areas worldwide in 2025, according to the INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard. The platform combines real-time data with operational tools in a single interface, supporting network planning, daily operations, and revenue control.
How the platform works
Its AI layer analyses real-time and historical mobility data to forecast passenger demand, model traffic flows, and identify network bottlenecks. Authorities can use the insights to adjust networks of stops, introduce new routes, manage fleets, and monitor fare collection. Internal estimates suggest that integrated solutions can reduce traffic jams by up to 28%, lower operational costs by up to 35%, and boost fare collection by up to 30%. Real-time data analysis supports up to 40% faster decision-making for city authorities.
For transportation managers, understanding how AI can optimize these processes is vital. The AI for Transportation Managers Learning Path covers strategic applications of AI in route planning, fleet allocation, and network design.
"We work with urban mobility every day in cities around the world, from ride-hailing and navigation to delivery and other services. This gives us a practical view of how cities move and where the challenges are. Bringing that experience into public transport is a logical step. With the platform, we want to help cities build public transport systems that are easier to manage, more financially sustainable and more convenient for people to use," said Islam Abdul Karim, Regional head, Yango Group Middle East.
Integration with existing services
The platform supports integration of public transport services into the Yango SuperApp, giving passengers features like multimodal trip planning, real-time vehicle tracking, digital ticketing, and transport card top-ups in a single interface. This aims to make urban mobility more convenient and predictable.
Alignment with city planning agendas
The launch reflects Yango Group's broader focus on applying technology to urban mobility challenges. It aligns with initiatives such as the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and its 20-minute city concept, which seeks to make daily needs more accessible through sustainable mobility. Public sector leaders can explore AI for Government Courses to better understand how AI supports smart governance and digital transformation in urban infrastructure.
Why this matters for management
For city transport managers, the platform offers a unified tool to replace fragmented systems and make data-driven decisions faster. The projected 35% reduction in operational costs and 30% increase in fare collection directly impact budget sustainability. As urban populations grow, platforms that integrate real-time analytics with operational control give managers a way to improve service reliability without major infrastructure overhaul.
