He asked for the destination but I didn’t respond because I knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to pick trips. Then he cancelled the ride. I’ve reported this to both Uber and Transport Malta.
Has this ever happened to you?

What was he trying to do
Nope hasn’t happened to me.
I was a cab driver for a while and the thought did cross my mind, since sometimes certain routes pay extremely poorly and don’t take into account traffic and time taken, but never did it myself since I couldn’t afford to be choosy.
Great that you left his name and licence plate and started discussing his intentions publicly, the way how you one-sidedly think they are. Quality of this sub is low tier.
Not in Malta. It has happened to me in Paris several times.
Happens to me all the time from Uber. I figure it’s about price for time spent on the road, or if it’s their last trip they don’t want it to end on the opposite side of the island from their home.
I understand the driver here, but it’s really infuriating you wait 15 minutes to have a cab assigned and you get this and just know it will be cancelled, and you can’t leave a rating on a driver who cancels on you. Mainly I blame Uber for not allowing or making drivers set preferences for parts of the island near their home or some price per minute according to traffic etc.
Not that I’ve seen the driver side of the app and can confirm this is why but… I assume at least.
Tough shit. You accept the ride, you go where customer wants. End of.
Happened to me a few times in Malta, I just ignore them and they end up cancelling.
Happened to me with bolt in the middle of the night from the airport going home. Guy was with a van and asked me how many people he has to drive… Then he cancelled it when I told him we are two. Bolt didn’t care at all
Happens very often when you try to get one at the airport at a busy arrivals time to somewhere nearby in the south. Happened to me after many flights, once I have 5 drivers doing the same and cancelling on me until the 6th finally came!
Always report them when they do this. They are not allowed to ask, it shouldn’t matter.
Happens a lot in gozo
I’m not the type to say this much, though reporting these wank stains would be the best option for us all.
I reported the driver as well, let’s hope he gets a warning
lol I had something similar happening to me; I had a 10 minutes ride turned into a 30 minutes one cause the driver took the longer way and passing by roads that were known for traffic. Three hours later got a notification that my price was changed by 2 euros! I went to the customer support and got my refund for the extra 2 euros!
No, but it’s a thing abroad, apparently.
they are all assholes. same with most boltn drivers
