This one is a bit emotional for us. 2 years ago we had a big dream and now it’s come to life. Hard work really does pay off, Bolt is live in London .
London is more than just a city. It’s a symbol of a cosmopolitan way of life, a life full of choices and opportunities. We believe that the drivers in London deserve to have a choice of higher earnings while the passengers deserve a smarter way to move around the city.
As of June 11 2019, Bolt is live in London.
Drivers are the heart of Bolt and we always make sure to provide them fair earnings in every city we go to.
Bolt drivers pay only 15% commission on completed trips. That is up to 50% less than what’s taken by competing platforms. Looking at the bigger picture, it increases the earnings by 10% in the long run.
Also, Bolt will add £1 to any journey that starts, end or passes through the ultra-low emission zone 24/7 to help cover the cost of the congestion charge. The £1 will be passed directly to the driver.
