Violence against women
This trip by far was the most dangerous Bolt trip I ever had.
Few minutes after I and my two younger sisters got into the car, the driver started driving extremely fast. Almost got into an accident twice. The windows were completely rolled down and the wind was blowing in so strong.
It was obvious to us that this driver was under the influence of something.
The driver behavior was really rude and unsettling.
The driver literally dropped us in the middle of nowhere. Somewhere along Sydney road. He ended the trip and stopped driving. I asked him Why did he do that? He never answered. Then I started to get scared and worried about my safety and sisters. So in a very shaky voice I asked him if we can get out of the car. The doors were locked up by him then. Fortunately he allowed us to come out. And then from the danger of this driver behavior to the danger of a crowded industrial street me and my sister were left stranded and scared.
Before ending the trip prematurely by the driver himself, he literally forced my phone out of my hand. He screamed at me and quote said “Give me your phone”. I surrendered after him shouting this 3 times and gave him my phone. Reason why, he said he needed to confirm where we going on my own Bolt app.
I seriously thought that all the rumors about Bolt drivers and violence against women are just a myth, so not real. But now I witnessed it for myself and so much convinced.
The aggressive behavior and reckless driving of Bolt drivers continue to increase. At this point no promo or cheap ride can take over safety. Safety is crucial!!!! Especially for women in this country and Bolt as a company should act swiftly and firmly regarding this.
Lastly, i was not sure if I should report this trip, cause i was thinking he now may have access to my personal information/location/driving destination and he can come after me for reporting this. But im no longer scared as such abuse should stop.
