Around the world, the last month of the year marks the arrival of festivities and holidays. But for people of Pakistan, December rings in the most important and perhaps the busiest season of the year: WEDDINGS.
The wedding season in Pakistan is a time of celebration, but it brings with it some of the busiest traffic conditions of the year as a byproduct. Let’s paint a picture to explain the complexity of the situation properly. There are multiple, back-to-back events where attendance is a must. Mind you, a single wedding can go on for up to a week at times.
After getting ready and navigating the city’s congested roads and narrow streets, reaching a packed banquet hall becomes a challenge. The situation gets more taxing on weekends when there’s an event taking place at every single banquet hall and traffic surges exponentially. Routes that shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes to navigate through can easily stretch to an hour near popular areas like Defence, Gulberg, or Raiwind Road. For those who have to attend multiple events in an evening, the commute is bound to become twice as stressful as the celebrations themselves. If you think this is the end of your struggles, don’t forget the ride back home.
In several parts of the country, traffic congestion quadruples during the wedding season. Almost every single wedding venue is bursting with people. Simultaneous events, road closures, and limited access near popular venues result in prolonged delays. That is also why late arrivals have become a norm, and people are often heard saying they missed the couple’s entrances or photography session, and families rushing between locations. This tornado also loops in poor vendors who are seen struggling to keep up with tight schedules.
All of those challenges, paired with private cars and the issues they come with, such as parking space shortages and unfamiliar routes, have encouraged many Pakistanis to rethink how they travel during wedding season. One might argue that there are traditional transport options too, but it is common knowledge how they prove to be unreliable when demand surges unexpectedly.
ENTER Yango Ride: the ride-hailing service has become a dependable choice for many navigating wedding-season traffic, offering a structured alternative when roads are congested and time is limited. With real-time navigation, route optimisation, and drivers familiar with city traffic patterns, Yango’s reliable platform helps users plan their journeys more effectively, even during peak hours.
Ride-hailing services like Yango Ride allow users to estimate arrival times in advance and track their rides in real time, while avoiding last-minute transport arrangements.

Parking and congestion are among the biggest frustrations during wedding season, especially around busy venues with limited space and heavy traffic.

By choosing Yango Ride, all of that can be avoided, and they can arrive for every event on time without worrying about parking or traffic.
The growing use of the Yango app during high-demand periods is a clear indication of a shift toward transport options that put your flexibility and convenience forward.
