E-taxi app Bolt has partnered with ticketing platform Mookh to give event-goers priority access to rides during the festive season, targeting higher demand and growing concerns about safety at large events.
Mookh users buying tickets will be able to request Bolt rides from event venues.
Ipsos data shows 94 percent of Kenyan ride-hailing users view these services as safer than matatus and traditional taxis. The same report says 79 percent believe ride-hailing has reduced drunk driving by offering late-night transport.
Bolt will offer discounts at Mookh-linked events. New riders get 60 percent off their first two trips, while existing users get 30 percent off two trips over the next three months.
The deal supports Mookh’s events business as it marks its tenth year. The company says the tie-up aims to improve the full event journey for attendees.
