Its not a bug its a feature.

They don't change the OTP so that you memorize it over time. There's a very low chance of getting a repeat bike captain and the bike captain remembering your OTP from a previous ride. So low chances of fraud. Not foolproof, but the downside is limited.

But some of the people might have the same otp, right?

Sure. But what are the odds of these people being in the same location at the same time? What's the risk that you foresee?

Actually my first four digits But that steals the concept of password right? What if somebody with same starting digits takes my ride?

They have your numbers in their database. People with the same first 4 digits in the same location probably won't have the same OTP.

Why did they not just go with the approach of assigning random otps, like other companies do?

They don't say it OTP. They call it PIN
