The bolded is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
But I rather stress myself and see money, and have funds to fix my car when it spoils than do soft work, and barely have savings, then when car eventually spoils, because it will, I will now be looking for who will borrow me money to fix d car.

In a nutshell, all drivers on Indrive borrow to fix their cars? Or get stucked at break- even point?

The average Nigerian citizen cannot afford private taxis of the level of Uber & co (AC tight, neat vehicle etc)

Check it, they can't even afford decent buses for mass transit, go look at the brt how many of them still have AC running. Danfo is the standard for public transport in this wretched country. Uber, indrive and bolt are just preying on the desperation, the lack of option and the foolishness of Nigerian drivers

I understand, but these things we’ve to commensurate it with people’s income. Way before now we have the airport cabs. If people can pay flight of 100k to Abuja, why do you think they won’t pay 20k for cab? People were paying 50k for covid test. Do you think if it was enforced on local, people still won’t pay?

The point here is demand and supply, pure economics. On Sunday during church service, you need to see drivers everywhere and we have more people joining the hustle. As odd as driving may seem, it has been able to take some out of the street and as well create employment, even if it is presumed underemployment. Drivers can still try to maintain their cars regardless, chuchmoore is one person that always kept his car pristine in his days.

All Uber prices are fixed. That's how I picked a rider on Uber at Ikeja and less than 10 minutes into the trip, Lastma bursted my two tyre with their spike.

I got to a place and stopped and the rider asked me to end the trip that they are in a hurry. I ended the trip and Uber asked the rider to pay 6800 for a trip that lasted 14 minutes, 3.8km. The trip was from Ikeja to VI and I ended it right there at Ikeja and Uber is asking the rider to pay the same amount they would have used to get to VI.

The rider just transferred 2k to me, booked another ride this time on Bolt and left. I made the rider to understand that the fixed price could work against the driver in a situation where there is serious traffic.

I reported to Uber and got my money back.

But boss what are you doing on Uber? Is there a compensation we don’t know about? Anything fixed price and you don’t have a say from the onset should be a no no.

Thats never the price the map brought out for Indriver. Rider chose that amount for reasons best known to her. Who dash u 15k on Indrive. U will do airport to Sangotedo before u see 15k on a norms. Dey play.


I like Pearl take on this, I can’t vouch for Bolt price on this, but trust it is very obtainable on Indrive.

We just have to accept there’s fluctuation of prices on different app, just go with what works for you. I still believe Bolt gives more money, but with much stress and damage to your car more.

You made the right choice. You don't go to mech frequently because you are in charge of your itinerary. and you don't fall for the "do 20 trips get 20k again"
Because the longer you flog the car, the higher the tendency of visiting the mech workshop.

Northbird don come nko this work pass me 😂

I think there will be a shift in everything soon and comrade’s just have to hold fort. There’s no such thing as give price on Indrive again. Feels like Ramadan is affecting business or it’s the economy using Ramadan as cover up. Anyways cost of running a car now can shift anyone of business, so waka jeje is very important. Battery along that barely last one year is going above 60k for 75ahm. So I wonder how drivers drag 1500 trips, left to me the trip go sleep there. The courier package is the worst. Some times I am tempted to pick it, just to blast the riders.

All in all, drivers should use their head, doubt if anyone can intentionally buy toks to run this business now.

@Drivers something interest happened to me on Tuesday, rider run my live street of 7300. I am typing this so we all can be careful out there. I have been able to get 6500 out of the money. Just thinking if I should let go of the rest I’d raise em.

Are you using a Samsung? You can update the system UI in the settings.
I love the new indrive update.
Riders can't edit n put nonsense price like before. if you can't afford air-conditioned taxis as a rider, there are alternatives ( Keke, okada, Danfo, Sienna). Pick the one that suits your budget.

I think Indrive realised they have been dulling themselves all this while, they realised that Bolt does not give a flying Bleep about fares, once demand is up, 2.5 surge steps in, if the heat is too much, alternatives ( keke,Danfo,Sienna) are available...




I’m using iPhone and thething will just be hanging anyhow until I refresh.

Do drivers still use a/c? Because the rate at which riders do ask that is your a/c working can be annoying. While some will thank you for using a/c.

Eterna was selling theirs for NN650, they later reduced it to N635 a couple of days ago.
No be wickedness be that


Much respect, boss.

I won’t outrightly tag it as being wicked. Oil business is not just a regular market, but each to himself. I may buy from NNPc at 568 and sell to another person 588 because I don’t want to go thro the stress of trucking. That person too will add is own. Las las after landing the buyer will add his profit. Price depends on source.

I didnt o.

Indrive
good for lazy drivers
Work small and see money
Uncertainty
Makes u closer to God
Gives u alot of free time
Lower fuel consumption
Better for short and medium distance trips
Gross can be capped at around 70k no matter how good d day is or lucky u are.
Better if there is no surge on Bolt
Lastly, all d badly behaved girls and boys are now on Indrive.

Bolt
But u are assured of your daily target
High fuel consumption
High work rate, high turn over
Guaranteed earnings no need to pray and fast
High commission can demoralize somebody
Better for long distance trips
On a very good day u can gross 120k
When it is surging Indrive stands no chance

My Note.
Deep down every driver knows d best app but will stick to what works for them, or what they can carry. Ultimately, their choice is what is best for them.

Shabi u don call me lazy… sha take

You wey dey use to Lagos that doesn't know that there's only one major street called Okesuna in Lagos. Carry rider wey dey go Lagos Island go Shomolu on Christmas day oo. Backward hustling. For this unprofessional and inexcusable act, I hope you know you should have given the rider some money for making her to pay more from Shomolu to Okesuna?

If it were Uber back in the days that they use to reign supreme, your account would have been blocked for this.

That’s why we say spare money. More like saving in dollars. If you borrow someone money today, if the person returns it in a month, the value of that money is long gone.
