Bolt, the leading ride-hailing platform in Africa, has announced the launch of Scheduled Rides, a new feature aimed at providing passengers with the utmost convenience and peace of mind during their daily commutes and special events.
Scheduled Rides allows users to book up to 72 hours in advance, ensuring a seamless travel experience without the last-minute stress of finding a ride. The new 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.
