The company in March told ZF it had over 5,000 drivers domestically.
The data is the more important as the market is in its early stages and platforms usually shy away from specifying the number of partner drivers. The Romanian market was launched by US-held Uber in 2015, but the company in March 2021 told ZF the number of active partner drivers is hard to estimate.
Bolt entered the Romanian market in 2016, under the name of Taxify, and was among the companies that shaped the market even before specific rules were adoped domestically, together with Uber, Clever (now Freenow) and Yango. Meanwhile, Yango decided to leave the domestic market in 2020.
