Marti Launches Taxi-Hailing Service as Its Sixth Urban Transportation Modality

Türkiye’s leading mobility super app Marti Technologies, Inc. (“Marti” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MRT) operates car-hailing and motorcycle-hailing services, and a fleet of around forty thousand e-bikes, e-mopeds, and e-scooters across the country. As the largest multi-modal urban mobility operator in the country, and in line with its goal of offering a single app to meet all of the transportation needs of urban residents, Marti today announced the launch of its taxi-hailing service as its sixth modality.

Marti’s taxi-hailing service enables Marti’s riders to hail taxis over its mobile application. The launch of the service follows and complements the growth of the company’s car-hailing service which was launched in October 2022. Marti launched the taxi-hailing service as a result of observing numerous taxi drivers using its ride hailing service to receive ride requests from Marti’s over 4.7 million unique riders. The pilot service launch is being conducted in Istanbul, and Marti is not charging drivers a commission to use the service.

Since its October 2022 launch, Marti’s ride-hailing service has reached over 610,000 unique riders and over 125,000 registered drivers. In contrast, there are 19,016 taxis serving the city of Istanbul. The launch of Marti’s taxi-hailing service is therefore expected to have a positive impact on driver availability, and a resulting downstream impact on increased ridership.

McKinsey & Company, a consultancy group, estimates the taxi market size in Türkiye at $9 billion to $12 billion as of 2021. Further, under the “Disruptive Scenario 2030”, ride-hailing is expected to increase the size of the taxi market by offering cheaper and more convenient rides. McKinsey & Company estimates the potential size of the Turkish ride-hailing market in 2030 at $15 billion to $20 billion.
