Global technology giant, Yandex, launched its taxi service Yango onto the Ghanaian market. The technological ride-hailing App by one of Europe’s biggest technology companies, Yandex, operates in over 300 cities across 15 countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Yango rides ordered with the app in Accra interestingly starts from GH¢2. Mr Musheg Sahakian, the Global Expansion Director, Yango, said Yango had its own mapping and navigation system, which minimizes driver pick-up time and arrival at destinations thereby decreasing the net cost of ride dramatically.
He said the company partners with local transport service in the country to offer quality service to customers at an affordable prize. Mr Sahakian said a key benefit that stands out in Yango’s service was that, drivers may not have to pay any commission at the start.
On his part, the Executive Director of Toptech Transport and Logistics, Mr. Cecil Ebow Garbrah, welcomed the group and adviced them to be efficient in their business and apply a continuous driver training strategy to be ahead of competition.
He adviced them to keep the quality as Ghanaians shall only patronize the taxis if only they will offer good services and competitive pricing.
