Thu, Mar 04, 2021

Bolt, the leading European mobility platform focused on making urban travel more affordable, convenient and sustainable, has announced its intention to bring its e-scooters to Galway as part of an integrated transport system.

The company is ready to provide 10,000 of its e-scooters to Irish towns and cities. Projections based on Bolt’s European markets, more than 130 jobs, including 20 in Galway, are expected to be created on the successful roll-out of e-scooters in Irish cities. These local operation roles would manage the charging, maintenance and distribution of the e-scooters.

Following the successful launch of its taxi-hailing service in Dublin, Bolt will create Ireland’s first multi-modaltransport platform, where the public can choose from a car, e-scooter or even an e-bike.
