The ride-hailing company is targeting to capitalize opportunities brought by operationalization of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma via Morogoro, by introducing the services within the municipality.

The local on-demand mobility firm announced the expansion to enhance connectivity and promote economic growth, as the SGR will increase the mobility within the municipal as Morogoro is poised to become a key transit hub, attracting increased business activities and tourism. 

Dimmy Kanyankole, company’s general manager said: "We are thrilled to extend our services to Morogoro, a vibrant city with immense potential. The launch of the Standard Gauge Railway marks a new era of connectivity in Tanzania, and we are proud to play a part in this transformative journey by offering our reliable and efficient transportation services to the people of Morogoro. We are also looking to provide economic opportunities for drivers in the region thus contributing to local employment and economic growth.”

The expansion to Morogoro is a testament to Bolt’s commitment to a continued push to expand its market footprint within the country. 

Kanyankole said the company has already signed drivers up to the platform in Morogoro and is incentivizing passengers to use the platform by offering a 50percent discount on their first rides.

Other benefits to this expansion include enhanced mobility through easy access to transportation, provision of safe and reliable transportation as well as stimulating local businesses and contributing to the economic development of Morogoro and its environs.
