Uber Allowing Drivers Stall for Better Fares, Passengers Stranded

You book a ride, a driver accepts, but they either don’t move or head in the wrong direction. They’ve picked up a better fare through another app and are hoping you’ll cancel on your own.

How common is that in your country?

In Belgium it happens too much.

Does Belgium have Lyft or Bolt?

Also, after enough time you can cancel the ride when the driver does that, there’s an option somewhere.

This is common in Prague when I visit, now I use Bolt.
