Bolt has partnered with GasanZammit Motors and Ferruggia Fleet to launch a new category of service exclusively for people with reduced mobility needs in Malta.
The new service will be provided by LEVC TX, an all-electric taxi designed specifically for accessibility.
The new category, called “assistance,” is dedicated to providing transportation for anyone who needs extra help.
All assistance category vehicles are licensed as wheelchair accessible and drivers have completed relevant training, including health and safety training provided by the Occupational Health and Safety Authority.
When booking a ride, customers are encouraged to message the app or call the driver to specify what type of assistance they need.
“With this new category, we aim to make transportation accessible to everyone, regardless of their mobility limitations,” said Ryan Mahoney, Country Director of Bolt Ridehailing.
“We recognize that getting around Malta can be a challenge for those who require additional assistance, and we are committed to providing a solution that makes transport safe, comfortable and reliable.”
Carolyn Zammit, Marketing Director of GasanZammit, and Fabrizio Ferruggia, CEO of Ferruggia Fleet, said they were excited to partner with Bolt on this initiative.
“We are excited about transforming the transportation industry together. Safety and affordability are at the core of our operations, and with this partnership, we are taking the well-being and protection of our drivers and passengers to a higher level. We are proud to offer a fleet of vehicles with the latest safety technology,” they said.
