Yango Ride Introduces Comfort Class, Delivering Enhanced Ride-Hailing at an Affordable Price













Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – February , 2024 – Yango Ride, a ride-hailing service under the global tech company Yango Group, has introduced its new Comfort Class in Ethiopia. With a starting fare of just 100 birr, the new tariff offers passengers a premium travel experience designed to meet the evolving needs of local passengers. By providing newer vehicles, higher-rated drivers, and the option to turn on air conditioning, the Comfort Class ensures a more refined and enjoyable journey for passengers while maintaining affordability.

The launch of the Comfort Class is a direct response to feedback from Yango Ride users, who expressed a desire for access to newer, more comfortable vehicles at a reasonable price. Yango has carefully designed the service to address this demand, offering passengers a small premium upgrade from the Economy tariff, which starts at 92 birr. With two tariffs available in Ethiopia — Economy and Comfort — the service continues to provide simple, user-focused options that cater to different customer needs without compromising on quality.

Comfort rides are powered by a fleet of modern vehicles, all manufactured in 2018 or later, ensuring that passengers travel in style. Additionally, every vehicle in the Comfort class comes equipped with air conditioning, allowing riders to enjoy a pleasant environment. These rides are driven by highly rated drivers who are committed to delivering exceptional service, making Comfort a standout choice for those seeking elevated ride experience.

According to Dr. Yeknalem Abebe, Country Manager of Yango Ethiopia, the introduction of Comfort Class marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey to redefine ride-hailing in the country. “At Yango, we prioritize listening to our users and responding to their needs with services tailored to their lifestyles. Comfort provides the perfect balance of quality and affordability, ensuring that passengers can enjoy a superior experience without stretching their budgets. We are proud to set a new standard for ride-hailing in Ethiopia and look forward to welcoming more passengers into our Comfort class.”

Yango has introduced a seamless booking experience for its Comfort Class rides, allowing passengers to select their preferred tariff directly through the Yango app. To celebrate this enhanced service, Yango is offering a 10% discount on the first Comfort Class trip, available until March 10, 2024, with the promo code “ETCOMFORT”.
