In the UK Bolt is an alt-Uber app, which for some journeys is cheaper than Uber.

I had an interesting conversation with a Bolt driver recently, after he remarked surprise that I was a 'decent' passenger; it turns out Bolt is the app for everyone banned from Uber.

Many of the drivers work multiple apps and apparently quite a few are refusing to pickup Bolts or treating Bolts with suspicion because Bolt doesn't have the same driver protections as Uber.

When I ran a nightclub ~20 years ago we would share photos of people we had banned, so other venues would also ban those patrons. That left them to the 'trouble pubs' which were consequently heavily policed. What is happening now is no different.

Ultimately there are groups of people within society that can't behave themselves and ruin the experience of [whatever] for everyone else, and society acts accordingly.
