How does Bolt driver work?

Bolt is a ride-sharing business. The money made is shared between Bolt company and the driver at an agreed percentage. Bolt drivers work using the Bolt driver App. Please note that the Bolt driver app is only for drivers and it’s different from Bolt Riders App which is for only riders (passengers). Bold driver work by switching on their Bolt driver app and going online. Once they swipe to go online, riders close to their location can find them when they request a ride. When Bold riders request for a ride, they fill in their destination in the Bolt app, view fare estimate, and a driver is automatically matched to them. Simultaneously, Bolt drivers receive a ride request via your Bolt driver app, then pick up the client and drive to the rider’s destination. If the ride happens, the rider has the option to pay the money via the app or cash.
