OR Tambo new waiting area feature
Our new First In, First Out queuing system distributes rides fairly between drivers in regulated locations. It will save you time and provide you with more ride requests in places like airports and shopping centers. This is being launched at the parking bays at Super South for Airport Pick Ups
The Bolt Driver app will display the designated waiting area for ORTIA. You’ll automatically be added to a virtual queue when you enter the waiting area.
The app will show how many cars are in the queue in each ride category, so you’ll know how long to wait. The first driver in the queue receives the next ride request.
​
Your exact physical location in the waiting area isn’t vital, but you will lose your position in the queue if you:
-
Exit the waiting area and fail to re-enter during a specified time;
-
Go offline;
-
Reject a request.
