Bolt, a taxi-hailing app to rival Uber and Free Now, enters the Irish market on Thursday. The company is due to launch services in Dublin, with plans to extend its rollout to other cities next year. As well as its taxi app, the company also rents out electric bikes and e-scooters and has a food delivery division, Bolt Food. However, the company intends to launch e-scooter rental services in Dublin once the machines are fully legalised and regulated in this market. About one-third of the taxis signed up so far for its Dublin service are electric or hybrid vehicles.
