Yango Ride has launched a community initiative encouraging residents to display the UAE flag during daily commutes, following a national call for unity.
The company, part of Yango Group, distributed UAE flags to passengers through its partner drivers across the country. The move supports the “Raising a Flag for UAE” initiative, which responds to a call by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum urging citizens and residents to raise the national flag.
The initiative aims to encourage wider participation and promote a sense of unity among the UAE’s diverse population.
Islam Abdul Karim, Regional Head of Yango Group Middle East, said: “The UAE continues to set a strong example through a future-focused vision that places people first, strengthens infrastructure and connectivity, and works consistently towards making the country the best in the world. Through this initiative, our partner drivers helped passengers take part in a national moment that brought communities together in a simple but meaningful way. At Yango Ride, we are committed to supporting the communities we serve and to contributing positively during moments that reflect shared national values.”
The initiative aligns with Yango’s broader focus on community engagement through mobility services. According to the company’s Mobility Report 2025, Dubai’s public transport, shared mobility and taxis recorded 747.1 million riders in 2024, averaging over 2 million trips daily.
Yango Ride said the campaign highlights how everyday transport services can support participation in national moments, helping strengthen shared identity and social connection across communities.
