The ongoing conflict between e-hailing drivers and taxi operators has yet to be resolved, even though e-hailing services have become increasingly popular in South Africa.

In several areas of Gauteng, e-hailing drivers are prohibited from picking up or dropping off passengers, as taxi operators accuse them of stealing their customers.

@perkycorlett0 explains that the Bolt driver told her that the taxi drivers would likely cancel her trip because they don't want e-hailing drivers transporting students to school. However, she continued with the trip.

When they got to a robot intersection they were approached by taxi drivers who demanded her to get out of the car when they suspected it was a Bolt. The lady was encouraged to lie and say that the driver was her uncle, to which the taxi drivers then told her to kiss him if it really is her uncle.
