Anecdata, but I've been in Romania for a couple of weeks recently and Uber was cheaper than Bolt for all rides except one. I think I only used Bolt while I had 40% off voucher active, and sometimes even with that it wasn't much cheaper than Uber.

But I believe in the past Bolt used to be cheaper than Uber indeed.

In India, Namma Yatri is zero commission and does lots of great initiatives. Uber drivers request me to install it and enjoy the win-win. Too bad the VC funded competitors are losing money to keep us on the enshittification treadmill.
