Bolt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bolt an e-hailing platform in Africa has launched its services in Kumasi having been operative in Accra since 2017.<\/p>\n

This expansion move is a part of the long term plans of providing safe, affordable and efficient transportation to Ghanaians across the country.<\/p>\n

Bolt Regional Manager for West Africa, Uche Okafor, said: \u201cAt Bolt, our primary mission is to make urban transportation easier, quicker and more reliable. So far, we have been able to bring Bolt\u2019s affordable and reliable service to people in Accra.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bolt\u2019s service is easy to use: passengers simply download the Bolt app from the iOS or Android app stores and set up a user profile. When they\u2019re ready to ride, users open the app, set their location and their intended destination. The app will then give a cost estimate for the trip. Once passengers request the ride, the app alerts drivers nearby who accept the ride.<\/p>\n

when a driver has accepted the ride, passengers will be able to see their driver\u2019s name, photo, car make and model and registration as well as be able to track the driver making his or her way towards them in real time \u2013 all of which makes it easy to be sure that they get into the correct vehicle safely with the correct driver. Passengers can also share their trip details using the \u201cshare your ETA\u201d function on the app, as an extra layer of security. At the end of the trip, passengers and drivers can rate each other out of five stars and leave feedback using the Bolt app.<\/p>\n

When the ride is completed, payment is made with cash, or via the debit card details the rider entered into the app. Popular trips in and around Kumasi such as Bantama to Ashtown and Suntreso would cost between GH\u20b5 5 and GH\u20b5 7, while KNUST\u00a0to Kumasi Mall could cost about GH\u20b5 10.<\/p>\n

Drivers\u2019 cars must be a 2003 vehicle model or newer. The car has to be four-door (Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, etc) and must have passed a safety inspection. This means that everyone hailing a ride through Bolt can be confident that they will get to their destination safely and comfortably.<\/p>\n
