Match the number plate on the app to the cab before getting in
Ten seconds of checking beats an entirely wrong ride. Fewer than five independent reports so far, so it is still unverified — try it and file one.
Why it works
Ride apps assign a specific vehicle and plate to your booking, but drivers idling nearby often approach guessing which passenger is theirs. Checking the plate against the app before boarding is the only step that actually confirms it is your assigned ride.
Did it work for you?
One report per person. This is the only thing that moves the badge — there is no like button.
