In the comment section, many locals shared their concerns about Uber and rival company Bolt. Many have seemingly lost faith in the ride services because of the various dangerous instances.
“I stopped using @boltapp and @Uber when my wife was nearly abducted in Kempton park in a Bolt, reported it and nothing ever happened, the ride disappeared on the app because they working with them,” one person said while another wrote:
“There was an uber guy who was robbed of his car in 2020 and the robber used that car the whole night and he robbed some of the clients he carried that night .The lesson here is stop saying uber is bad or uber drivers are criminals without getting facts first.”
