A driver for the ride-hailing app, Bolt, is under investigation after a passenger accused him of using inappropriate language and questions. If found guilty, he could have his licence suspended for 180 days.

 

The Phuket News reports that the incident happened on Thursday, January 18, after a 20 year old student got into the taxi she’d ordered to take her from Paklok, north Phuket, to a student dormitory in Rassada.

 

According to the report, the taxi driver, named as Chuen Ochaphon, proceeded to question her in a manner that made her uncomfortable. The student claims the driver told her he was 45 years old and asked her if she had a boyfriend, adding that he wanted to “take care of” her.

Drivers who sexually harass passengers should have their licenses immediately revoked. A suspension is unacceptable. Same for any kind of violence/coercion.
