Bolt, the leading ride-hailing platform in Africa and Europe, has officially launched its operations in Moshi as part of its ongoing expansion across Tanzania. This milestone underscores Bolt’s commitment to providing safe, affordable, and reliable transportation solutions to communities and enhancing access to essential mobility services.

Moshi, which is home to Africa's tallest attraction, Mount Kilimanjaro, and a vibrant hub for both local residents and international tourists, now benefits from the ride-hailer’s convenient platform. The launch aligns with the city’s growing need for modern and diverse transportation solutions that cater to its increasing population and growing tourism sector.

The arrival of Bolt in Moshi brings several community benefits, including; hundreds of new job opportunities for drivers in Moshi, environmental sustainability as Bolt expands the presence of its electric motorcycles in Arusha, and a boost in tourism business as convenient transport encourages more movement for enthusiasts of travel and adventure. 

Dimmy Kanyankole, General Manager Tanzania said, the ride-hailing platform expects to expand to other regions where tourism is the primary industry and local drivers as well as business can benefit from increased mobility. “Tourists generally place high value on security and affordability when it comes to local mobility. They prefer investing in authentic cultural and culinary experiences rather than finding transport or remaining indoors to skip the inconveniences,” said Mr. Kanyankole, 

Through expansion, Bolt continues to demonstrate its support for major government initiatives in the transport sector that stimulate the economy. Recently, Bolt launched in Morogoro following the introduction of the standard gauge railway in 2024, further aligning its operations with Tanzania’s infrastructural development goals.

By broadening its reach across regions where tourism thrives, Bolt continues to empower communities and contribute to Tanzania’s dynamic economic landscape.
