It came to light that drivers who complete rides get more activity points, which ultimately helps them get more bonuses and increases their chances of getting more orders.
With this, points are not deducted if the driver cancels a ride on the grounds that the location he is heading to is dangerous.
Points are also not deducted when the rider this time cancels the order especially if the driver is at the location or close to the location.
He concluded by revealing that drivers who provoke riders into cancelling their orders are penalized by way of point deduction.
