As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Bolt has stopped all operations in Belarus. Bolt has also not been operating in Russia for several years.
Starting from today, all Saint Petersburg locals and visitors can explore the city using Bolt. We’re bringing fairer ride-hailing to the second largest city in Russia to improve urban transportation for both sides of the service – drivers and passengers.
Our goal is to create more choices and offer better conditions for both passengers and drivers; and by bringing in competition, improve the overall quality of the service for everyone in Saint Petersburg. We’re on a mission to increase the earnings of drivers and make moving around town more affordable for passengers.
The starting fee of a Bolt ride in Saint Petersburg will be 50 rubles, the fee for each kilometre 13 rubles and 5 rubles for each minute during the ride. The minimum cost of a trip is 79 rubles.
To celebrate our launch in Russia, all Saint Petersburg Bolters will receive up to 50% discount on their first rides.
