Some users of the e-hailing service, Bolt have complained about the unpredictability of the service’s fares in Lagos since the removal of oil subsidy by the Federal Government.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu announced the withdrawal of oil subsidy during his inaugural speech, leading to over 200 percent hike in the pump price of petrol across the nation.

The ride-hailing companies including Bolt responded by increasing fares by between 25 and 30 percent to make the business worth the while for the drivers.

However, many Bolt customers are more worried about the unpredictability of the fares on the Bolt app now more than its upward adjustment.

One of them, Adesola David told Microsecondnews: “My biggest concern is that you can no longer safely predict how much you will end up paying for any trip, with or without traffic. That is really horrible for someone like me,” he said.

Ecosystem is hard. God help Bolt riders
