DUBAI, UAE, February 21, 2026 - Liftango, a global leader in demand-responsive transport and fleet orchestration technology, today announced a new partnership with Yugo, global student housing brand, to digitize the transportation network at its Dubailand residence.
The initiative replaces manual tracking and paper schedules with a streamlined digital platform, directly benefiting the 300+ students currently residing at the flagship Dubai location.
By integrating Liftango’s transit technology, Yugo is eliminating the friction between students and their daily commute to the 10+ universities and institutes they attend across the city.
Solving the "Where is my Bus?" Dilemma
Prior to this launch, Yugo students relied on manual updates and inquiries at reception to track bus locations and schedules. The new digital solution provides:
- Real-Time Tracking: Students can now access a live tracking link to see exactly where their bus is and when it will arrive at their station.
- Operational Oversight: Yugo’s operations team gains a powerful dashboard to monitor driver compliance, service reliability, and stop popularity.
- Data-Driven Decisions: The shift from manual to digital allows Yugo to analyze transit patterns and optimize the 6-bus fleet based on actual student demand.
"Our mission is to make sustainable transport simple and accessible," says Ahmedyar Humayun, Regional Delivery Manager at Liftango.
"By digitizing Yugo’s fixed-route service, we aren't just adding technology to a bus; we are removing the stress of the unknown for students and providing the Yugo team with the data they need to run a world-class operation."

The launch on February 16th marks a significant step in Yugo’s digital transformation within the MENA region, ensuring that the "ultimate student living experience" extends beyond the walls of the accommodation and onto the roads of Dubai.
