bolt is okay, or what do you mean its not viable for americans? why not?

Because as of Feb 2024, it still hasn't rolled out to the US

And their availability page seems to correlate that.

Besides, even if it did, it would take years for it to become accessible to people not living in a big city. It took a long time for Lyft rides to even start showing up where I was in a mildly dense suburb. Ride share usage depends on supply, and if there's no, or a low supply of bolt drivers, there's going to be little to no usage from customers because "I need to go now, I'll just get an Uber"
