A new taxi-hailing app has launched in Dublin.
Bolt is set to rival Uber and Free Now when it begins service this afternoon.
● Irish launch sees over 1,000 taxi drivers signed up to the Bolt platform to date
● Passengers can have a 50% discount on their first 5 trips
● Bolt charges taxi drivers 10% commission for using the platform
Luke Mackey, Country Manager for Bolt Ireland said:
“With the Irish economy reopening gradually this week, it is crucial to provide a safe and responsible way for people to move around."
"The arrival of Bolt will support the renewal of our urban economies as well as introducing choice and fairness in a taxi market that needs competition."
"We will do that by providing perks to taxi users and putting more money in drivers' pockets, with lower commission and more transparency."
