Last Friday they said that they would get back to me in a few days, they haven't, but then Ireland or even Republic of Ireland was not available on their form pupulating pull down list of countries. Thought that list was a global standard. Took my name, cehicle licence type, phone number, email, PPS No., and badge number though.

I think Bolt is primarily a minicab app in the UK.

To compete with Uber it'd have to go after the minicab market in the UK. Free Now tried that when it was known as Hail0 and failed miserably.
