Bolt Launches Ride-hailing Intercity Service With 20% Discount
Bolt, a Nigerian mobility platform, has launched a ride–hailing intercity category designed to increase the quality of service for inter–city riders. The inter–city service aims to connect Nigerians across states and ease mobility for them.
This development is in response to Bolt‘s desire to connect cities and transport people conveniently. The inter–city category offers fast and convenient rides and is currently available for the Lagos–Ibadan and Owerri–Port Harcourt routes.

To promote its affordability, Bolt is offering a 20 per cent discount on all intercity trips, up to a maximum of NGN 5,000 per ride.
To use the inter–city service, riders can request a trip by setting their destination on the platform, confirming their pick–up location, and then clicking on request. This will connect them to a nearby driver, just like the intra–city service.
The major difference between the two services is that the intercity service is only available from 6 am until 3 pm daily and that it provides replacement vehicles in case of any problems.
The inter–city service can be used by Nigerians to visit family and friends within these cities especially as the festive period is approaching.
