As you know, TVDE in Portugal is a bit confused and, frankly, has suffered a significant decline in the quality of its services.

Yes, apps continue to work incredibly well, thanks to all the technology that serves as their foundation. However, the overall quality of service has declined. Gone are the days of gum, tablets, perfume, bottled water and, perhaps most important of all, the detailed cleaning of every vehicle.

All platforms work decently, with auto trading, and users get from point A to point B almost always without problems. However, the quality of cars and drivers has nothing to do with what it was in the past, more specifically when Uber stormed into Europe, sending taxi drivers to protest in the streets.

Moreover, it cannot be denied that there are some scary schemes on the part of drivers. With account sharing, you have to have better control, and with drivers who don’t speak Portuguese or English sometimes.

Well, it looks like both Bolt and Uber are taking some measures to control the decline in service in recent years.

Uber and Bolt are implementing new measures in Portugal

Therefore, both platforms try to limit the sharing of accounts, to ensure that they are not misused, and that the quality of service provided to the user remains high. To this end, in addition to more stringent control over the cleanliness of cars, and increased demand for their quality, there are also some tests that require sudden random checks in the application.

In other words, drivers are now required to take a selfie, to ensure that the car driver is also the account holder. This in turn means that many of the illegal drivers on Portuguese roads today are finding their lives a little more difficult.

In addition to these measures, there are other measures under study and testing! All in order to ensure that quality returns to this service that has truly changed the way we move around the city.
