Bolt, an e-taxi company with operations across Europe and Africa, has recently launched its services in Harare, Zimbabwe. The company has announced the pilot of its ride-hailing services in Harare, with more than 300 drivers ready to start accepting hire services.
The launch of Bolt in Zimbabwe is part of the company’s ambitious investment plan of €500 million ($542.8 million) in Africa, aiming to foster expansion and generate job opportunities for over 300,000 new drivers and couriers.
Bolt will not receive any commission from drivers for a minimum of six months, which is consistent with the e-hailing company’s plans to invest in Africa. The no-commission incentive was also used during the platform’s launch of operations in Zambia.
Bolt’s expansion into Zimbabwe is a strategic move that aligns with the company’s mission to provide affordable and reliable transportation services to people across the African continent.
The launch of Bolt in Zimbabwe is expected to create job opportunities for drivers and couriers, and provide affordable transportation services to the people of Harare.
Bolt’s entry into the Zimbabwean market is a significant development in the country’s transportation sector, and it will be interesting to see how the company fares in the highly competitive ride-hailing market.
