Leep Africa has partnered with Bolt to give passengers in its taxis free internet access. The company developed a mobile hotspot network called Leep Connect that will be piloted in select Bolt vehicles and independent minibus taxis to provide free internet to passengers and drivers alike.
Leep Africa funds this Internet access through third-party marketing, bringing together advertisers and networks to connect end-users to the internet at zero cost. Through collecting anonymous data, Leep is able to perfect the user experience and find out how users are interacting with the system as a whole, as well as develop new insights about how people use transport in South Africa. The pilot programme for Leep Connect launched in October and will continue into early 2021 in Bolt vehicles and minibus taxis.
