"Maybe that's why some ladies complain about being robbed by Bolt drivers. It's simple request, pay, get off. I hardly even talk, how does it get to robberies. Thinking your beauty will get you out of everything is very dangerous ladies, stop this thing, it's a trend now."

Crime watch: Cab driver admits to targeting women, SA disappointed by companies response
In another story involving a cab driver, Briefly News reported that a few screenshots were shared showing a Bolt driver cancelling a trip with a male customer and admitting he targets women, which shocked and angered social media users.
While the validity of the screenshots couldn't be confirmed at the time of this report, it's the company's calm response to the upsetting accusations that left South Africans unimpressed.
Bolt SA had this to say:
"Sadly, social media is not our Support channel, therefore we would not be able to assist you here. We are always happy to assist you. For us to be able to locate your account and assist you further please reach out to us via an in-app message. Much appreciated!"
