Only one other person in Africa hailed more rides — a passenger in Nigeria who recorded 923 trips during the year, said Bolt. The longest Bolt trip in 2021 was a ride from Johannesburg in Gauteng to Ermelo in Mpumalanga — a distance of 262km — and this was also the most costly trip in 2021 on the platform at R1,318.

The longest trip recorded on the platform across all the 45 countries in which it operates was a 513km trip completed in Uganda. However, South Africans are more miserly than many others on the continent when it come to tips. The largest tip given to a driver in SA in 2021 was R184. The year’s biggest tipper was a passenger in Kenya who tipped the equivalent of R3,350.
