Bolt erroneously charged lady over N1 million
Priscilla, in a Facebook post, said it turned out that the system showed that the vehicle took her to Hungary, which was why her fee for the trip was over a million naira.
She shared screenshots of the crazy bill, which the Bolt driver had provided to her, showing that the app even said she should pay the money in cash.
Priscilla wrote:
"I ordered a Bolt ride from Ajah to Chevron, which normally costs between ₦6,000 and ₦7,000. But when I arrived at Chevron, my bill was over ₦1 million! I was shocked.
"The funniest part was that the system showed the vehicle took me to Hungary, which was why it charged that amount And it even said I paid in cash. Where would I get ₦1 million to pay for Bolt? Am I going to heaven?
"Anyway, it turned out to be a system error."
