Bolt launches a Business platform in SA

Ride-sharing app Bolt previously known as Taxify has launched Bolt Business in South Africa for companies to use when they need to transport employees to events, meetings etc. 

Gareth Taylor, country manager for Bolt South Africa said in a statement: "We have launched Bolt for Business after noticing that a growing number of Bolt trips are taken for business purposes during working hours, whether it’s commuting to work, rushing to client meetings or getting to the airport." 

“Bolt for Business is so much more than an efficient expenses management tool – it removes workplace discrimination based on access to vehicle ownership and offers a strategic use of time spent on the road, demonstrating again the positive impact that on-demand transportation services can have on the South African economy." 

How it works is that companies can create a business Bolt account and link employees to the account, so that they can pay for trips. 

To get started with Bolt for Business head on over to the official website and follow the sign-up procedure.
