WHY IT MATTERS
The case for transport & commute
The commute tax on African workers
- Lagos commuters spend an average of 3+ hours daily in transit
- Commute costs can represent 15–25% of take-home pay in major cities
- Transport stress directly reduces cognitive capacity and workplace engagement
Remote work doesn't solve it
- Hybrid work still requires reliable internet — data costs are a real burden
- Irregular commuting creates budgeting anxiety that affects focus
- Transport allowances are one of the most commonly requested benefits
Why digital credits win
- No petty cash management or receipt chasing for HR teams
- Employees use credits across their preferred platforms
- Full spend visibility through the RibiRewards dashboard
Our Lagos team was losing 3 hours a day to commuting and arriving stressed. Adding Bolt credits changed the mood in the office. Small thing, enormous impact.

FAQs
Common questions
Can employees mix transport credits across platforms?
Yes. Transport credits are allocated as a monthly wallet balance that employees can spend across any supported platform — Bolt one day, fuel the next.
What happens to unused transport credits?
Unused credits expire at the end of the monthly cycle by default. Administrators can configure rollover windows on Enterprise plans.
Do data bundle credits work on all networks?
We support all major networks in our active markets including MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile (Nigeria), Safaricom, Airtel KE (Kenya), MTN GH (Ghana), and Vodacom ZA (South Africa).
Can remote employees access transport benefits?
Absolutely. Remote employees can allocate their transport benefit budget to data bundles or home office connectivity credits instead of commute-related spend.
