Bolt-Ride includes 5 Yamaha RayZ which are driven by Bolt-Pilots, while the commuters are labelled as Bolt-Riders. The scooties can be seen with the logo on the wind-shield and yellow number plates. Within these 8 months of experience our commuters (mainly local public) have been sending us photos and videos on social media platforms such as facebook and instagram. They have labelled Bolt-Ride a safe travel experience and most have been demanding further extension of the service. We are thankful to Motor-Vehicle Department for their quick response towards our project to meet the public demand. We are seeking Government support for further extension of our service in the future.
