Bolt Launches "Women for Women" VTC Service in Nice

Bolt Launches "Women for Women" VTC Service in Nice -Bolt is launching a new service in Nice called "Women for Women," allowing women to book rides with female drivers and giving female drivers the option to accept only female passengers. This service aims to enhance safety for women, addressing concerns about sexist and sexual violence in transport. The initiative, already tested in Paris, is part of Bolt’s effort to "feminize" the VTC profession. Prices remain the same as regular rides, though wait times may be longer due to the limited number of female drivers. To use the service, passengers must complete a security check, which includes uploading a selfie and ID.
