ISTANBUL, October 07, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Türkiye’s leading mobility super app, Marti Technologies, Inc. ("Marti" or the "Company") (NYSE American: MRT), has begun monetization of its ride-hailing service. As the only at-scale ride-hailing operator in the country, Marti spent two years growing its ride-hailing business line before today announcing that it has begun monetization.

Marti is initially monetizing its ride-hailing service in the form of driver subscription packages in which drivers purchase via subscriptions the right to receive ride requests from Marti’s riders. There are currently over 225 thousand registered drivers using Marti’s ride-hailing service.

While Marti is the only at-scale app-based ride-hailing operator in the country, there are smaller offline ride-hailing service providers that direct ride requests to drivers via voice calls and text messages. Due to the inefficiency of connecting riders with drivers via a non-app interface, those offline drivers receive a lower volume of ride requests from these service providers. Drivers that work with offline service providers currently pay upwards of $300 per month to receive ride requests from their service provider. With the potential to charge upwards of $300 per driver per month, Marti’s driver subscription package prices are set to dynamically adjust to reflect the level of real-time ride requests that Marti directs to its drivers.
