Bolt fined after passenger dies on expressway
Posted on 2026-01-31 12:45:13
Ride-hailing platform Bolt has been fined $30-thousand NT after a passenger
died in a case involving one of its drivers.

Police say a 46-year-old driver surnamed Lin (?) dropped off a 25-year-old
passenger surnamed Wen (?) on Provincial Highway 64 toward New Taipei's
Banqiao District.

Wen was later hit and killed by passing vehicles, and police say the case is
being investigated.

The Ministry of Transportation and Communications says fleet operators must
take management responsibility, and licenses can be revoked in serious cases.

Officials say Lin may also face a separate fine for leaving a passenger on an
expressway.

Transport authorities say Bolt did not properly verify the driver, and that
he was taking orders from multiple platforms against regulations.

Bolt says it has suspended Lin and that further action will depend on the
judicial investigation.
