Bolt launches new audio trip recording safety feature for riders and drivers in Ghana

Bolt is launching a new feature as part of its in-app safety toolkit, allowing drivers and riders to trigger an audio recording of their trip in the Bolt app if they ever feel uncomfortable during a ride and report it to our Customer Support team.

Audio trip recording can only be activated during an ongoing Bolt ride. Bolt can access a recording when shared as an attachment to a safety case raised with Customer Support.

This feature will first be launched and tested in select cities in Ghana, South Africa, and Nigeria.
