If you live in a metropolis, you may very well understand how transportation may be complicated. The amount of money you need to spend if you want to have a car, and not only that but also the calm and patience you need to have in certain situations, like heavy traffic.

There is the other side of the coin too: even if you use public transportation, you lose a lot of time waiting.

Perhaps you can use Uber or some other app? The problem is sometimes you don’t need such a big trip and the expenses of calling Uber are higher than should be, or you end up waiting a long to a driver to accept your trip.

When you stop and think about it, all you wanted is a ride-hailing, someone who could give you a ride, not necessarily an uber travel, and even if you need to contribute on this ride, you do it in an affordable way.

Well, fear not, because if want fast and affordable rides: Bolt is here to help you out!

Nowadays, Bolt has a lot of features, that range from rides for one people, for a group, for a lot of luggage, and even a feature that resembles Uber Eats.

However, we are going to be focused on the feature related to ride-hailing, since it is what differentiates Bolt from many apps regarding transportation.

First thing, many people, especially those who are concerned about the environment, see ride-hailing and effective public transportation as a way of helping CO2 emissions.

Imagine that there are 5 people who work in the same place, and there is one that on his path to work, rides near the other 4 people’s homes. Why use 5 cars in this situation if you can use it only one and all can share the gas? Now imagine if everyone did that.

This is so in Bolt’s DNA that there is a category called “Green”, in which you only get rides from 100% electric cars.

If you take a look at some user reviews, you will find out that most of Bolt’s rides are cheaper and faster than most transportation apps.

This leverage comes since the app was called Taxify, its first name when it came out in 2013.

So, you can see that when a company wants to make a true difference in the market, it will make it, regardless of how much the app grows (Fun Fact: Bolt operates in over 45 countries, including the U.S.A, and on thousands of different cities.

First, you need to download the app, available both on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Most of how you get into Bolt is like what you do in other apps like Uber.

You need to register yourself using an ID card and wait for the confirmation of identity and the registration of some payment method, like a credit card, and you are good to go.

A major difference between Bolt that other apps don’t use is that when you request a drive, it will send your request to the closest driver instantly, other apps like Uber used to put your request on a certain, which can cause a lot of time loss.

If your city is supported by Bolt, definitely you should test out the app.

It is simple, very well reviewed and it shows that sometimes, size doesn’t matter, but the quality of how you impacted the people you can.

Bolt is not as big as Uber, but if you ask a Bolt user, he will never change one after the other. That makes all the difference.
