TALLINN: Estonia's Bolt, a popular ride-sharing service in Eastern Europe and Africa, on Aug 20 launched food delivery service in its home town of Tallinn, the nation's capital, and said it plans to roll out Bolt Food this year in South Africa, Latvia and Lithuania as well.

Bolt, which until early this year was called Taxify, has grabbed business from Uber mostly in major African cities and Eastern Europe. It now operates in 30 countries.
