Bolt, the leading ride-hailing platform in Africa, has announced the launch of Scheduled Rides, a new feature aimed at providing passengers with utmost convenience and peace of mind during their daily commutes and special events.
Scheduled Rides allows users to book a ride up to 72 hours in advance, ensuring a seamless travel experience without the last-minute stress of finding a ride.
The new Scheduled Rides feature will also be valuable for business customers, who through the Ride Booker feature on the Bolt Business account, can reserve rides for work-related trips or book the same for their business guests.
“We are happy to introduce Scheduled Rides, a significant feature that adds even more convenience to our valued passengers. Planning for a future trip is now easier than it has ever been on Bolt. Passengers have more control over their business and personal travel, making mobility seamless and more enjoyable..”
