Bolt in 2022 – The year in review

For five years now, Bolt, Ghana’s leading mobility app, has been continuously connecting riders to drivers providing safe, reliable and convenient rides across eight cities in the country.

Bolt Food, which has been operating for two years, has bridged the gap between restaurants, small and medium food vendors and customers through fast food delivery.

While 2022 was a year of highs and lows for most people in Ghana, some milestones, events and moments will remain in the memory.

Additionally, below are some insights and trends about Bolt in 2022 that you may find interesting.

Overall, the most popular pick-up location in 2022 was Kpeshie, while the most popular destination was VIP Circle Bus Terminal in Accra, possibly due to the importance of this location for cross-country travel.

Mobility has become a critical necessity for most Ghanaians when it comes to commuting for work, business, leisure and worship, but more often than not, some important days see heavy surges due to events like festivals and the like.

In 2022, Bolt’s busiest day was Friday, February 25, recording more than 148,000 rides in Accra. In Kumasi, 6^Th March 2022 recorded a record of over 21,000 rides after the city was first chosen to host Ghana’s 65th Independence Anniversary. With this came guests who loved the convenience and reliability of the Bolt. This was replicated in Takoradi, which recorded over 8,800 rides, the highest number in a single day during Independence Day.

The most rides recorded in Cape Coast were (718) in 9^Th March 2022, 610 rides in Ho on the 15th^Th June 2022, and 474 rides in Koforidua on the 17th^Th June 2022, when Sunyani and Tamale have the most rides in one day on the 21st^St May and 31st^St August respectively.

While other cities saw fewer top passengers riding, Koforidua stood up for Bolt as single passengers took 407 rides in 2022, almost double the number of Bolts riding Cape Coast’s top passenger of 237.

Food Bolt

Now Bolt Food is a great platform for anyone who wants a bite, snack, meal, drink or treat delivered right to their doorstep.
