Bolt South Africa warns riders: avoid dangerous offline trips for your safety

Bolt South Africa is sounding the alarm for riders to steer clear of "offline" or cash-based trips that are arranged outside the Bolt app.

This warning comes as reports of riders being targeted by criminals have surged after they agreed to trips directly with drivers, bypassing the app’s critical safety features.

"When a rider accepts a trip outside the Bolt app, we lose visibility of that journey, and so do they," explained Simo Kalajdzic, senior operations manager at Bolt South Africa, through a statement.
