# Blue Rides — crawler rules
#
# NOTE: robots.txt groups are NOT additive. A crawler obeys ONLY the group that
# names it, so every named crawler below shares the same group as the catch-all
# rules. Listing "User-agent: Googlebot / Allow: /" on its own would silently
# exempt Googlebot from every Disallow further down.

# Search engines, social preview bots and AI crawlers — full content access,
# transactional / private areas excluded.

# is what lets Google drop these URLs from the index.
