On-demand mobility platform Bolt has announced a strategic partnership with digital ticketing platform MOOKH to provide safer and more affordable transportation for event-goers during the upcoming festive season.
The collaboration, which coincides with MOOKH’s 10th anniversary, aims to solve the logistical challenges often faced by revellers. Customers purchasing tickets through the MOOKH platform will now enjoy priority access to Bolt rides directly from event venues.
The partnership is anchored in data regarding consumer safety preferences. According to a recent Ipsos report on mobility trends, 94% of Kenyan ride-hailing users consider the service inherently safer than conventional transport modes like matatus. Additionally, 79% of users believe these platforms play a major role in reducing drunk driving by providing accessible alternatives during late-night hours.
“At Bolt, safety remains our top priority, and this partnership reinforces our commitment to ensuring that every rider, especially during the busy festive season, has access to safe, affordable, and dependable transportation,” said Adega Murbe, Regional Marketing Manager, Africa at Bolt.
Murbe highlighted that the platform’s safety suite—including real-time ride tracking, an emergency SOS button, and driver verification—is designed to give event-goers peace of mind.
As part of the initiative, the two companies are rolling out exclusive discounts to encourage safe travel to and from MOOKH-powered events: 60% off their first two rides and special festive season discount of 30% off two rides, valid for the next three months.
For MOOKH, this partnership marks a decade of shaping Kenya’s creative commerce landscape. The platform views the collaboration as a step toward improving the “end-to-end” experience for event attendees.
“The partnership between MOOKH Africa and Bolt is not simply a promotional agreement; it is a strategic investment in the convenience, safety, and overall satisfaction of the regional event community,” said George Gachui, Co-Founder of MOOKH.
“By prioritizing a superior end-to-end journey for event attendees, MOOKH confirms its dedication to driving the growth and professionalism of the event industry across Africa.”
