Hello Romanian OSM community,
We at Bolt are happy to introduce our company, our
mission and, most importantly, our mapping objectives in Romania.
As a company, we are more than just another ride-hailing service. We’re on
a mission to build cities for people, not cars. Committed to reducing the
environmental footprint of mobility, we are fighting for better cities and
a greener future by offering a better alternative to every purpose a
private car serves.
We believe that most trips in the city don’t require the use of a personal
car. At Bolt, we’re building a future in which people are no longer forced
to buy a car to get around. Where people have the freedom to use
transportation on demand, choosing whatever vehicle is best for each
occasion - including ride-hailing, shared cars and scooters, and food and
grocery delivery.
Building a sustainable future is a goal Bolt and OSM have in common. Just
like we care about our customers’ needs, people who contribute to OSM care
about their communities' prosperity.
OSM members create more than maps, they design a vital tool to improve the
quality of life of the community.
Accordingly, where there is an active OSM community, there is good data
coverage. In turn, it means that we can provide better services that make
OSM a valuable part of data we use, along with other open and proprietary
data sources. Bolt thrives for synergetic interaction with the OSM
community. Being passive users of the data is not an aspiration we share,
as well as tailoring an already well-functioning ecosystem of OSM to
erroneous ends. Instead, we are willing to assist the community and become
a part of it by resolving certain set of issues, such as improving road
configuration, adding missing roads, one ways and turn restrictions, along
with others.
Members of our Map Production Team are experienced OSM members who have
profound knowledge of working principles of OSM and proficient editing
skills that allow them to take delicate actions in compliance with
community agreements.
Nowadays, Bolt operates in Alba-Iulia, Arad, Bacău, Baia Mare, Bistrița, Botoșani, Brașov, Brăila, București, Buzău, Cluj-Napoca, Constanța, Craiova, Focșani,

our operations in Romania, we also aim to lay the foundation for a
