In Abidjan, commuters collectively saved more than 815,000 hours in 2025 alone — the highest absolute gain among African cities studied. In Dakar, users saved close to 170,000 hours, while in Yaoundé and Douala, riders recovered over an hour per year individually on average. “In many African cities, time lost in traffic directly impacts productivity, family life, and economic opportunity,” said Adeniyi Adebayo, Chief Business Officer of Yango Group. While African cities recorded significant gains, the cumulative global impact reached more than 5 million hours saved across over 20 cities worldwide, including Lima, Guatemala City and others — demonstrating the scalability of AI-powered mobility solutions across diverse urban environments.
