Bolt has announced a 10% increase in base fares across all its ride categories following a week-long protest from drivers demanding better rates.
Following the announcement, all rides booked through the Bolt platform will reflect a 10% increase in the base fare, for example, the base fare for the Economy category will move from Kshs. 200 to Kshs. 220. This is expected to directly impact driver earnings positively, providing them with better returns for each trip completed. The additional income for drivers will also incentivise them to maintain the high standards of service to riders on the platform.
