Bolt has added new functionality to its ride-hailing app, allowing users to request rides with stops at up to three locations with an estimated fare for the entire journey with more than 1.5 million customers signing over the second half of 2019.
There are over 30,000 drivers already on-boarded to the platform with more being vetted and trained every day. The multiple destinations feature is being rolled out globally to Bolt users on Android and iOS this month.
The new apps cater especially to groups of passengers requiring different final destinations along a route and for customers collecting people on the way to a shared final stop. Bolt offers an XL category in London with access to vehicles suitable for groups of up to six passengers.
Customers create additional stops by selecting the small plus sign on the right side of the address box when searching for a destination in the latest version of the app.
The driver will see the route with all the stops in their Bolt driver app after the ride has commenced. The new multiple destinations feature makes it easy for customers to stop along their route while having confidence in knowing the estimated fare before beginning their journey.
