Australia's race to the bottom suddenly appears to have taken a turn to become a race out of Australia.

It's only a matter of time before Ola and DiDi follow Bolt out of Australia's exit but who are we tipping to exit first out of Ola and DiDi?

I think you are possibly making some assumptions that are possibly a bit early to be making

Have you checked your emails?

Bolt have sent all drivers an email notifying us that they're exiting Australia.

Why is it an early assumption to say the other two companies will follow Bolt out the exit?

 

[fraqtl]

Yes. Obviously. But too conflate that with the others exiting the market is premature at best.

The others still have decent passenger and driver bases. No one liked Bolt.

Bolt was rubbish and will not be missed. Good riddance.

True, at least dodo is giving out complementary safety pack which contains 4 masks!

They are?

Hopefully DiDi are the next to leave and in the near future, communist companies like DiDi and Bolt have no place in Australia.

Lol. Do you mean Chinese companies? Cause Didi are capitalist in the worst way.

No I didn't mean Chinese companies, given that Bolt are Estonian, not Chinese.

DiDi and Bolt both operate similarly to each other, it's not surprising when you realise that Bolt are backed/supported by DiDi, who in turn are backed/supported by the Chinese Communist State.

Oh? Got anything I can read on all that?

 

[zanboor]

They are?

Yes they are, apparently only to selected drivers.

The thing is, I haven't been driving for the past nearly 5 weeks due to my car being hit and I'm wondering if their system has picked this up and maybe that's why they sending it to me, who knows, I don't see anybody else mentioning it here.

Didi was a private company started by Cheng a mid level struggler from also private companies..his first COO was Jean from Goldman Sachs..Chinese Government controlled:nailbiting:

It's mentioned here as well as other news sources, a quick Google search will show numerous news sources stating that Bolt are backed/supported by DiDi.

I just logged on for the night and it came up in app. Pretty good thing to be doing, if a little late. Although it might have taken them some time to secure supplies

I got the email this evening too, and I seldom drive for them these days, as I only find the app useful for doing filler and destination filter jobs.

I think you're right, in that they've selected drivers who have done little to no driving with them in recent times.

A quicker Google search indicated started as a private company with private investors...where are you getting this info Chinese govt backed ?

Perhaps. I've been doing a bit with then lately and it's just occurred to me that I rage quit their mailing list a whole ago....

Maybe that's why I've only seen it in app
