Bolt is aiding its drivers in Thailand comply with e-hailing laws and Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) rules by supporting them to gain public driving licenses and registering their vehicles as public hire cars, including motorcycles under Type Ror Yor 17 and cars under Type Ror Yor 18, promoting safer operations and highest efficiency levels.
According to Mordor Intelligence, Thailand’s ride-hailing industry grows at 9.38% annually, giving drivers vital income, while boosting transportation, tourism, and retail. Government and platform support is crucial in tackling the challenges of complex licensing processes.
Modernising regulations in partnership with authorities can produce substantial economic benefits, as well as equity across the industry and consistent driver salaries. Bolt believes these changes can revolutionise the ride-hailing ecosystem, and so improve livelyhoods.
Bolt is committed to working alongside drivers to help them adapt to evolving regulations. It has urged the government to implement changes that reflect drivers’ realities and allow satisfactory time for them to comply, ensuring the ride-hailing industry grows sustainably.
Nathadon Suksiritarnan, General Manager for Bolt Thailand, has reaffirmed the dedication of his company in helping drivers meet legal requirements, and ensuring compliance with regulations. He highlights Bolt’s efforts to support its drivers, advocate for reforms, and to play a significant role in developing a fair, sustainable ride-hailing industry in this country.
At the forefront of ride-hailing, Bolt drives change, advocates fair practices, and promotes sustainable growth. By conforming to regulations and encouraging collaboration, the firm has the aim of building a blooming ecosystem for shared prosperity and lasting success.
