Expanding beyond Auckland, Usain Bolt plans to broaden his ride-hailing ventures
Bolt Expands Presence in New Zealand
Global shared mobility platform Bolt is set to expand its operations in New Zealand, with plans to launch in Wellington and Christchurch following a successful launch in Auckland.
Since its debut in mid-June, Bolt has experienced rapid growth in Auckland, with over 350% increase in driver partners and a significant surge in rider sign-ups. The platform now boasts tens of thousands of riders and thousands of drivers in the country, with its local team providing essential driver support, a service not previously available in New Zealand.
Bolt's expansion in New Zealand is not just about numbers, but also about offering unique experiences. The company has introduced initiatives not offered by its rivals, such as lower commission rates, which provide more take-home pay for drivers, and competitive pricing, allowing more Aucklanders to afford its services.
The most common pick-up and drop-off point for Bolt in New Zealand is central Auckland, making it a convenient choice for many. The platform's popularity is evident, with Saturday being the most popular day for travel and peak times at 4pm and 11pm. The longest trip taken in a Bolt car in New Zealand stretches to 225km.
The expansion in New Zealand is part of Bolt's global strategy, operating in over 600 cities across 50 countries. With over 200 million customers worldwide, Bolt is a global leader in shared mobility. The company's local expansion in New Zealand is set up for long-term growth.
Many of Bolt's driver partners in New Zealand are pleased with the company's commission structure, which is lower than its competitors. This, along with the convenience and unique offerings, has contributed to Bolt's rapid growth in the country.
In the coming weeks, Bolt looks forward to welcoming even more riders and drivers in Wellington and Christchurch, further cementing its position as a leading player in New Zealand's shared mobility market.
