Bolt ridesharing is available in 50 countries and 600+ cities worldwide. We rebranded from Taxify to Bolt in March 2019.
Our mission is to make cities for people, not cars. We do this by offering a better alternative to every purpose a private car serves and helping millions of drivers support their families. The next time you need a ride, order a Bolt!
