- Booking system issues: inability to confirm bookings, last-minute cancellations, and failure to schedule rides in advance.
- Poor customer service and driver communication: drivers often ask unnecessary questions, refuse rides, or do not follow correct routes.
- App performance issues after updates, including slow loading times, inability to view current bookings, and login problems.
