Two hits quickly disussing what I think the OP is referring to.

There was an article mentioned in many places recently, perhaps even on here too, that focussed on the point in a bill currently going through Parliament which gives the government the right to snoop on bank accounts as described in the OP.
I'll have a look for it but if you can use Google you should be able to find it for yourself.
I just read the BBC News article about 10 minutes ago and when I saw the thread title I thought it could very easily be about this, so 100% agree with the OP.
I didn't put up that pic. The one I put up before showed the price of a Bolt trip from central Pattaya to central Bangkok at just over 1,000 baht, which is more than reasonable considering you youself mentioned a "normal taxi" is 1,400 baht.
You're loss as there are many, many more satisfied customers than the single report you appear to be making your decision on - odd to say the least but maybe not unexpected. You should be able to a dummy booking by inputting an origin and destination in areas where Bolt operates.
Qatar's website should first be looking for a PNR (and surname) under "Manage Booking". The PNR will be a 6 character alphanumeric code and should be on their confirmation from Trailfinders, or available from them.
90 day reporting system will be unavailable this coming weekend. Get reports in before then if possible .
ETA. Just noticed this has already been posted. Apologies for the duplicate.
The pic is from the app at the time of posting and Bolt's price was as shown. Not sure where you got the 1,500 to 1,700 baht from. Do a dummy booking and you'll see a price from Bolt.
Agreed they're not venting anything out but they can be cleaning the air passing through them. Not sure how effective but the option on my one is described thus in the manual:
