Bolt launches in Yerevan, Armenia

Jan 21, 2020

Bolt does not currently operate in Armenia. See the countries and cities where Bolt is available.

We’re so happy to announce that today we officially started ride-hailing operations in the Armenian capital of Yerevan! We’re bringing fairer ride-hailing to the largest city in Armenia, hoping to improve urban transportation for riders and provide a steady income for drivers. 

We’ve brought our service to the streets of “The Pink City” to provide more competition and choice, as well as offering improved conditions for both passengers and drivers. Generally speaking, we hope to improve the overall quality of ride-hailing for everyone in Yerevan.

We’re on a mission to increase the earnings of drivers and make moving around town more affordable for passengers.
