Bolt Says Flexibility Key for Drivers, Not Traditional Employment

Bolt, the European shared mobility technology platform, stated that flexibility remains crucial for drivers rather than traditional employment relationships. The company, which operates across more than 50 countries and 850 cities worldwide, emphasized the importance of maintaining flexible working arrangements for its driver network. The statement comes amid ongoing debates across Europe about the employment status of gig economy workers and whether ride-hailing drivers should be classified as employees or independent contractors.
