Bolt responds to Emtee's serious accusations
As Emtee is a public figure and anything he says could ruin their public image, Bolt replied to his accusations. However, it seemed like the response was automated and it failed to address the matter at hand.
Bolt said:
"We want to assure you that the safety of all users of our platform remains our top priority. All our drivers go through rigorous verification steps and provide all relevant statutory documents including valid Police Clearance Certificate before joining the platform.
"We launched a driver selfie check feature which requires them to undertake selfie verification in order to verify their identity and ensure that the details provided correspond with those in the app."
Emtee was even more enraged by the automatic response and he began to accuse the cab company of recruiting impolite employees capable of assault.
He posted:
Mzansi agrees with Emtee's claims about Bolt
According to the few who commented, Emtee was not the only one with a bad experience with Bolt drivers.
@Smvshtag said:
"Yeah, I agree that they are rude. Imagine having to ask the driver to fix his seats when you're inside the car..."
@Inkinga_rsa shared:
"They are rude and they disrespect everyone."
