Bolt Faces Licence Blow After Driver Screening Dispute

Thailand’s ride-hailing market could see a major shake-up after officials decided not to renew Bolt’s operating license. The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society and the Department of Land Transport reportedly made the decision after Bolt failed to improve its driver recruitment and screening process within the required deadline. Authorities have linked the move to repeated complaints and alleged legal violations involving platform drivers. The decision could affect many users who rely on Bolt as a cheaper alternative to other ride-hailing apps, especially in tourist-heavy areas. The development also raises questions about competition, pricing, and how strictly Thailand will regulate transport platforms going forward.
