AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> BOLT, the leading on-demand transportation platform in Africa, has launched an affordable ride option dubbed \u2018Bolt Lite\u2019 in Arusha, Mwanza and Dodoma, targeting passengers seeking low budget e-taxi.<\/p>\n

Making the revelation in Dodoma, yesterday, Bolt Tanzania Country Manager, Remmy Eseka said the new ride option translates to affordable means of transport to customers and will increase trips, and hence, notable substantial earnings for drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur drivers are at the core of our operations, and we truly believe that happy drivers mean a better quality service for clients.\u00a0 This explains why we\u2019ve been doing extensive reviews to ensure that we continue to provide the best earnings for our driver-partners and remain the most preferred platform by customers,\u201d Mr Eseka said.<\/p>\n

The new service is optional for Bolt drivers who will allow drivers to take full control of their earnings, whilst offering financial relief for customers from the effects of a prolonged Covid-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt provides customers with an opportunity to pay less for their trips and still get convenient transportation. The Lite category will feature 1,500cc engine cars and below.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe category also allows drivers with higher engine capacities to switch between the Lite category and the other regular categories on the Bolt platform,\u201d said the manager.<\/p>\n

However, he advised drivers to continue eking out a sustainable living in the industry, while also providing excellent service to make sure their passengers have access to reliable and safe transport.<\/p>\n

Bolt has more than 30 million clients in over 35 countries across Europe and Africa, whose services range from ride-hailing to micro-mobility with e-scooters and electric bikes to food and package delivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
