Estonian mobility company Bolt has announced the launch of its ride-hailing service in Helsinki, Finland.
E-scooters will reportedly also be deployed in Finnish capital later this year.
The company currently operates in 45 countries and has ambitions to support the transition from owned cars to shared mobility by offering alternatives to private vehicles.
Markus Villig, Bolt founder and CEO, said: “We are excited to expand our business to Finland, and I’m confident that we can accelerate Helsinki’s transition toward green mobility services, which is already well underway.
“At Bolt, we want to build a future where people are not forced to buy private cars that cause traffic congestion and pollution by building products that take the emphasis off cars and give cities back to the people.”
Bolt’s available mobility services include ride-hailing, scooter and e-bike rentals, a free-floating car rental service and food and grocery delivery. It claims to have more than 100 million customers globally.
To celebrate the Helsinki launch, Bolt will offer 50% off for any traveller’s first 10 rides.
