Are Bolt Drivers Safe?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Has anyone had these kind of issues with Bolt Drivers?

The 1st Bolt Driver Assaults lady over low fare and no tip. Another guy get into an accident while driving, plays bumper cars with 7 other vehicles out of frustration, pulls out a weapon and begins firing shots. The last Blot Driver tries to extort 10,000 baht ($300) at 3 or 4 o-clock in the morning.

I've had a few minor things but nothing too serious.

One guy who tried to circumvent Bolt - took the job, called me through it, said he'd do it for 300 instead of 120 or whatever it was.

Just said 'No', and he cancelled.

No way to predict if any random stranger is safe or not. I've never had an issue. I use them for local only. I would not use one for a highway trip.

Bolt drivers are only subcontracting to Bolt so surely the emphasis & onus is on Bolt to ensure that is a sufficient qualifying process in place.

Current Licence/Insurance & Tax for vehicle/currrent vehicle test certificate etc.

In the odd occasion the person/vehicle that turned up was not the one on the app. They are ghosting their friends details so I send them away as if there's any issues like an accident Bolt would not be liable as you accepted the ride. 🤔

I've had a couple of local fares where the driver had dropped a fare off from BKK & latched onto the local bolt coverage to make a few fares around town, they were ok though sometimes you have to tell them where to go as they are unfamiliar with the area. 🤔

Never had an issue with Bolt in Pattaya.  In Bangkok, Bolt drivers cancelling rides or simply taking way too long to find a driver are the problems I’ve faced.  I find Grab more reliable in Bangkok.  And, yeah, any driver wanting to conduct business off the platform I reject.  

However, I’m sure there are bad apples among both drivers and riders, so it is prudent to be vigilant.

I have used BOLT motor taxi about 100 times and I have had about 5 incidents.

Most of them are related to the driver driving too fast or running red signals, going into opposite traffic while other cars are coming.

I have never had any such incidents with the Motor Taxi drivers (Orange Vests) and have used them a couple hundred times.

I have also had incidents where the driver was not the same driver on the app (usually appears to be the spouse).

On a few occasions the vehicle is not the same one list in the app.
