Ride-hailing app Bolt is set to operate in Glasgow after securing a licence from the council despite an objection from private hire drivers.
The city’s licensing committee has granted permission for a booking office on West Regent Street to the UK arm of the Estonian firm, which works in a similar way to Uber.
It comes after an initial application was ruled “incompetent” in February when bosses failed to name a day-to-day manager for the office on a notice required to be displayed on the premises, prior to a decision by councillors.
