In the future, there will be no private cars in cities. That’s according to Bolt’s CEO and Founder Markus Villig.


Many European cities have already passed legislation to reduce traffic — from London’s congestion charges to Paris making every first Sunday of the month car-free.


The move to ban all private car use would provide major environmental and social benefits from a reduction in noise and environmental pollution to a rise in safety. 


Markus hopes bolt will help make this change happen. He founded Bolt in 2013 as a competitor to Uber. Bolt has since become the first European mobility super-app operating in over 45 countries with over 100 million users.
