- Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) has announced a strategic partnership with Bolt, marking the latter’s first entry into the UAE market, to launch an e-hailing platform in Dubai. This collaboration aims to enhance digital mobility and smart transportation services across the emirate, aligning with DTC’s growth strategy. Bolt’s advanced digital platform will help DTC tap into Dubai’s AED 6 billion taxi and e-hailing market. The partnership was formalized during GITEX Global 2024 in a signing ceremony with high-ranking officials from both companies.
- This partnership benefits both parties: DTC, the UAE's largest fleet operator, will leverage Bolt's technology and global presence to boost operational efficiency, while Bolt furthers its expansion in the Middle East after successes in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Why it matters
The collaboration strengthens Dubai's smart mobility sector by integrating advanced e-hailing services, reducing reliance on private vehicles, and addressing issues like congestion and pollution. It supports Dubai’s goal of transitioning 80% of taxi trips to e-booking, reinforcing DTC's role as a key player in the future of urban transportation. This partnership also emphasizes the growing trend toward sustainable and efficient transport solutions across the UAE.
