.Boltapp_za vows to protect drivers and passengers through new emergency SOS partnership with AASouthAfrica E-hailingSafety Bolt AA
The past few years have seen e-hailing drivers hold nationwide protests, urging government to intervene in the increasing incidences of crimes they are subjected to at the hands of criminals and rival metered taxi operators.
Bolt says the new AA feature, which went live nationwide in March, enables drivers and passengers to connect quickly 24 hours a day to private armed response teams and private emergency medical rescue personnel, if they are involved in any medical or security emergency while on a Bolt ride. “Through this partnership, and availing the integrated SOS button, we aim to prioritise the safety of our driver and passenger community.”
