These were some of the questions answered at a recent Business Day Dialogues panel discussion in partnership with Bolt. Bolt, which has made one-billion trips in Africa, specialises in e-mapping to find the most cost-effective routes, and allows drivers to share their experiences on the road with other drivers.

Passengers can choose to use electric scooters or bikes for short trips, ride-hailing for longer ones, and hire a car if the trip is even longer. Bolt also offers a food delivery service while Bolt Market is available for grocery shopping. All of these options will eventually come to Africa. The strength of Bolt is its big local presence. In Kenya, boda-bodas and tuk-tuks form part of Bolt’s offering. Two and three- wheeled transport is often ideal for smaller towns in Africa.
