Marti's Ride-Hailing Service Reaches Over 1,100,000 Riders and Over 170,000 Registered Drivers, Exceeding June 30, 2024 Targets of Over 1,000,000 Riders and Over 165,000 Registered Drivers

Marti sets September 30, 2024 targets for over 1,300,000 riders and over 190,000 registered drivers

Marti Technologies, Inc. ("Marti" or the "Company") (NYSE:MRT), Türkiye's leading mobility super app and only multi-modal urban mobility provider, announced today that as of June 30, 2024, Marti's ride-hailing service has reached over 1,100,000 riders and over 170,000 registered drivers, exceeding the June 30, 2024 targets of over 1,000,000 riders and 165,000 registered drivers.

Marti's number of ride-hailing riders grew 121% from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The number of registered drivers grew 60% during the same time period. The fast growth in both the rider and driver sides of Marti's ride-hailing marketplace demonstrates the strong need for the service across Türkiye. The service intends to provide readily available, safe, and affordable rides for riders, while providing economic opportunities for drivers across the income spectrum.

Encouraged by the growth in the rider and driver bases of its ride-hailing business, Marti has set targets for over 1,300,000 riders and over 190,000 registered drivers by September 30, 2024.

Of Marti's over 170,000 registered drivers, over 141,000 are in Türkiye's largest city, Istanbul. This is in contrast to 19,845 taxis serving the city. With 7.1 times as many registered drivers as taxis serving the city of Istanbul, Marti is able to offer widespread availability across the city. Furthermore, Marti's drivers undergo formal background checks before acceptance onto the service, thereby contributing to rider safety. The average rating of Marti's ride-hailing drivers by riders is 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Marti currently does not enable online payment for the service over its app, or charge a fee for the service.

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^(*).
