As the UAE celebrates Eid Al Etihad, a new chapter in urban mobility begins with the launch of Bolt, the globally renowned e-hailing platform. Present in over 600 cities across 50 countries, Bolt’s arrival reinforces the UAE’s vision for innovation and sustainability, offering residents and visitors a fresh, convenient way to move around.
This launch is part of Dubai’s ambitious plan to shift 80% of taxi trips to e-hailing, paving the way for a smarter and more efficient transportation system.
Mobility Tailored to Your Needs
Bolt’s UAE debut brings three tailored ride options:
- Bolt Standard: Affordable and reliable rides for everyday use.
- Bolt XL: Spacious vehicles for group travel.
- Bolt Premium: A luxurious experience for those seeking comfort and style.
These offerings are just the beginning, with plans to introduce taxi services and expand the platform’s reach in the near future.
Driving the Future of Sustainable Cities
Bolt’s mission extends beyond ride-hailing—it’s about building cities designed for people, not cars. By encouraging shared mobility, Bolt aims to reduce congestion, minimize pollution, and reclaim public spaces for community use.
“Our vision is to create sustainable and connected cities,” said Eduard Suchánek, Regional Manager for MENA. “With transparent pricing, reduced wait times, and advanced safety features, we’re setting a new standard for urban transportation.”
Safety and Innovation at the Core
Bolt prioritizes safety through cutting-edge app features such as:
- Emergency assistance integrated into the app.
- Real-time trip sharing for peace of mind.
- Driver and rider safety tools, including background checks and training.
Combined with its focus on innovation, Bolt ensures every ride is secure, efficient, and enjoyable.
A Future Beyond Rides
Looking ahead, Bolt plans to expand its UAE operations to include taxi services, e-scooters, car rentals, and delivery solutions. With its strong commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction, Bolt is not just launching a service—it’s building a movement for better cities and smarter travel.
