Sofia, Bulgaria – Today marks a significant leap forward in the realm of micro-mobility as Bolt, the pioneering ride-sharing company, rolls out over 800 electric scooters onto the bustling streets of Sofia.
The announcement, made by Valery Romanov, Regional Manager Micromobility at Bolt for Eastern Europe, underscores the company’s commitment to revolutionizing urban transportation while prioritizing safety and accessibility.

But Bolt’s commitment to safety doesn’t end there. Upon unlocking their scooter, riders are furnished with comprehensive instructions on safe driving practices and responsible parking, ensuring a harmonious coexistence with other road users.
Parking etiquette is paramount in Bolt’s micro-mobility ecosystem. To minimize disruption and enhance accessibility, users are encouraged to park their scooters responsibly on the street, ideally near designated bike racks.
By adhering to these guidelines, riders contribute to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient urban landscape.
Bolt’s foray into Sofia marks yet another milestone in its illustrious journey. With operations spanning over 250 cities across 25 European countries, the company’s ambition knows no bounds.
