Marti sets new targets for December 31, 2026 of 5.65 million riders and 630 thousand registered drivers

Marti Technologies, Inc. ("Marti" or the "Company") (NYSE:MRT), Türkiye’s leading mobility super app, announced today that as of September 2, 2026, Marti’s ride-hailing service has reached 4.90 million riders and 584 thousand registered drivers, exceeding the September 30, 2026 targets of 4.90 million riders and 580 thousand registered drivers.

Marti’s number of ride-hailing riders grew 85% from September 2, 2025 to September 2, 2026. The number of registered drivers grew 57% during the same time period. The fast growth in both the rider and driver sides of Marti’s ride-hailing marketplace demonstrates large demand 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. 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.

Encouraged by the growth in the rider and driver bases of its ride-hailing business, Marti has set targets for 5.65 million riders and 630 thousand registered drivers by December 31, 2026.

The shares of Marti’s riders and registered drivers outside of Istanbul have both grown significantly, reflecting continued execution of Marti’s nationwide ride-hailing expansion strategy. Following the 10-city launch completed in August 2026, Marti’s ride-hailing operations now span 30 cities across Türkiye, covering approximately 85% of the country’s GDP. This expanded footprint is driving increased geographic diversification and reinforcing the platform’s nationwide growth trajectory.

Over the last twelve months, the proportion of Marti’s riders based outside of Istanbul has grown from 35% to 46%, while the share of Marti’s registered drivers based outside of Istanbul has grown from 26% to 36%. This increased geographic diversification underscores the nationwide demand for Marti’s services and supports the Company’s long-term growth trajectory beyond Istanbul.

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(*).
