Pearl1910:
The reality is that there are drivers who have been blocked on Bolt and Uber and don't have any other option but Indrive. So they are left at the mercy of Indrive and Riders. I understand that and they are not too much. So if they are the only ones Indrive somehow prices will go up because the place will not be saturated.

What I haven't been able to wrap my head around is the situation where a driver who has access to Bolt and Uber will rather choose Indrive and the ridiculous fares above Bolt and Uber just because of low commission and at the end of the day isn't getting the full potential in earnings.

I have always been against a system like Indrive and they have not proved me wrong,
They are the ones driving the prices down rock bottom to d detriment of driver's, unfortunately drivers are useful ignorant collaborators in the whole mess.

the funny things is that when you see any drivers using indrive they will telll you they don't accept any price, but when you carry rider that's used to indrive they will complain about the price and tell you that's why they prefer indrive because it is cheaper. Some drivers eehh sense is very far from them

Bolt verifying account now

Is bolt charging 20% commission now

Please who has the experience of what to do. This is the response of what I'm getting if I want to go online

I beg who knows indrive email , I have transfer up o 2500 and it doesn't reflect on my account. There support doesn't help

figment232:
They should also look into their outrageous interest rates.for instance how can u borrow 20k and pay back 36k after 7days

why will people borrow 20 to pay 36k if not for the intention of not paying back. They fit each other both the lender and the borrower they are all thieves

Car wey nor be driver own,that's what you guys are charging 25k for? For a day trip to ibadan?


Be like say I go dey do this work o.

for me and my car , I can't go to Ibadan for nothing less than 35k even is one way trip I will still collect toll and fro, the last time I went to Ibadan I collected 40k. Check the price on bolt is around 20k depending on your location, so why can't driver collect 40k. So if you are not the one driving it 20/25k is okay

So in business, there is something called "loss leader", a way in which a business takes a loss to get market share. Dangote did it one time when he crashed the price of Dangote sugar to force out the competition. It's a similar thing Uber/Bolt did, charge 3%/10% to woo riders and drivers. Now that they have a firm grip of the market, there is no need for them to continue charging lower than their cost price. I am not justifying or speaking for these businesses o, just laying it out as it is. There are multiple aspects to businesses not just the 25% they charge you riders. Since you guys have been able to form a Union in Abuja and its effective why don't you guys consider floating your own platform to compete with Uber/Bolt. If you guys set it up as a non-profit Co-operative you guys can set fares and drivers can get to keep as much percentage of the fares as you decide.

I understand your point, but still this bolt/ Uber will give rider bonus and stop drivers bonus and drivers keep complaining high cost living/ mentainance. Who makes money and still give back

Ken4Christ:
Then, it will only be patronized exclusively by the rich. Distance you use to pay 1,000 naira will now be 3,000 naira just for one trip. Remember, not everyone has a job and most of the jobs are poorly paid jobs.

bro you get it wrong, that's not how to calculate minimum fee, it's just mean that the amount you pay for any minimum distance can't be less than 1000k, but the distance you are paying for 1000 can still remains the same or slightly different like 1200 or 1300.that little different can go a long way. I hope you understand my expectations, and if you notice must point up there is base on 300, how can you start your vehicle to pickup point, make a call , wait for the rider to come outside, drive to where the rider is going with AC and you are to act politely at end it the trip bolt/Uber will ask you to collect #300 or #500, bolt /Uber will still collect 25%

airsaylongcome:
Lol! Did Bolt/Uber not provide you a service? Or do you think hosting a cab hailing server that provides global service while also processing card payments is an easy task? I work in a business that has to host thousands and thousands of servers with staff to implement and support them. If you take time to understand the business model of Uber/Bolt you'd have a different perspective. Which is why I encourage you guys to setup your own ehailing business. You guys can setup a cooperative to accomplish that. You don't get to pay tax sef if you guys are able to have a cooperative running a business

when Uber newly come to Nigeria they charged 25% on your first 20trips in a week and after that they start changing 3% , bolt charge 10% with numerous bonus ,are you telling they don't own a server then as you claim , now but of them are charging 25% with almost same amount of price, and first 2 to 3years of Uber in Nigeria there minimum price was #1000

uuzba:
Unfortunately, Nigeria as a nation doesn't produce anything for exportation.
When shipment containers bring in goods to port, they return empty with nothing to export.
So we have no foreign exchange from that venue.
Yet the we are still trying to live expensive life like foreign nations..
It can't work.
If uber cannot operate at a loss, and people don't want to pay more for fare,
then let everybody sit down in one place.
We cannot afford the cost of running cars. And the passengers cannot afford the cost of paying for fares
Simple.

and the things is that those rider can actually pay more than what Uber/ bolt is offering them to pay

Ken4Christ:
Supported. But they should not make it 2,000 naira per trip. The low price is the reason for the high patronage. And the turn over they enjoy gives them good profit. But I think a review to 500 for the same distance they pay 300 is reasonable.

any Uber/bolt driver shouldn't start his vehicle for any trip less than 1000k.

GeneralZodd:
. VIO no get mercy, especially to Uber drivers, dem no dey hear Oga abeg. Very wicked and Brutal people. Best is to avoid them like you said.

Ojodu Berger; I dey dodge that place during working days. Them plenty there, nah their headquarter be that.

once I sight them I will quickly be tell my rider , don't tell them am a Uber driver

Ghost1994:
God will bless you for raising these points.
My Guy you too much.

I’ve never and I’ll never do inDriver or rida. I’d rather give my cars out for hp or sell it off and use the money for another business.

Some people will come soon and defend these app coys and claiming that you don’t understand the logics of how to make money or freedom blablabla sh-t.

Well I don’t blame them because majority as you said earlier have one or two things to settle out. Weekend hustle that used to be very dope, it’s even hard for you to net 10k this time around as a car owner oh. What if you’re now paying rent how can you meet up.

I pity you that just accept HP may God see you through cos many inexperienced driver have used moove Suzuki spoiled everything.

And I think this Indriver/rida will later be hot cake and bury Uber/bolt in Nigeria. Very soon we will bury ehailing for luxury AC.

Me self go ship micra from Ibadan whenever I see say all una cars don spoil finish.

The truth is that bolt/Uber will never increase their fare cos inDriver/rida ridiculous prices is choking them.

So it’s better we looking at Yaris hatchback, Nissan micra, golf 3 etc… because I see ehailing dying soon as a luxury AC.

Wise up guys.

rida and indriver are both useless app, there estimated price will be lower than uber/bolt app and they will still allowed rider to go lower than the estimated price. surge in this job is very important especially rushing hours ,they took that away

Felicity001:
Stop bothering yourself over this DS thing just do you hustle and forget about it else you won't be able to focus very well on your target.

One of the main reason bolt brought this DS is to avoid them of winning the bonus because now there's no way you can eat their bonus without accepting and completing all trips requests.

This is the same bonus they already charged drivers for oooh... Shey pearl dey read this sooo later they'll come back and say they're collecting 20% because of bonuses given to drivers and riders... Like what's my own with your customers what bizness do I've with them apart from PU and DO? Again, they've collected base fair oh and collected 20% from it as well yet drivers still have to pay them back the whole 100% booking fee collected from riders... They called that one 5% meaning the entire 5% belongs to them.

Now let's assume ant drivers like cheerfulgiver, kanuisagiat, pearl1910, johnybegood, Baz001 the check ded ant man and ghost and gentlelife60 in the entire year gross N10m 5% of that amount is 500k... A whooping 500k all goes to bolt. This is after they've collected 20% ooh.

Infact make I no burst una brain any further against.

This height if robbery needs to be stage with a very aggressive and hoodlumnistic approach else this people will continue to use our heads, blood and sweat for money rituals

As for me any long trip I'll keep calling converting it to offline after all the DS is not bigger than the law of gravity which states that whatever goes up must come down and verse versa

Simple!

is bolt still giving bonus , cus it has been almost 2months now I see any bonus on my account

YeyeGbami:
Uber is calling you, pick up.

I'm on my own way already , I don't know how to keep up with 50 completion rate

Bolt just hammer me with suspension

pope191:
We are talking about transperancy and nothing more, but it seems the price is beating you down. On Indriver you can maintain your rating easily with less or no ado.

And about pricing, what you should ask yourself is how much do I want to be making weekly? Bolt goes off and on with surge, but one thing you guys fail to understand Indriver is far better compare to Bolt without surge and if you know how to drive again't traffic, then it is perfect. You have to do 20k on Bolt to net 10k, but 14 to 14.5k is ok to net that same 10k.

Yea! Riders may tend to twist price on Indriver, but which human in his or her right sense will pick Ajah to Alakuko for 2500? If you have followed my last write up, you would have seen Surulere and Yaba more and I don't go below 2400 to 2800. Even did Lere to Ikeja 2400 under 25 mins yesterday. We don do both Uber and Bolt before, those trips no deh pass 1200. I still remember doing Berger to Lekki phase 1 on Bolt for 1800, I try to make these people see it was app glitch. Nothing concern them, I drove down back home from island with vex. I remember on Uber and Bolt, Lere to Mariner is 1k and VI is 1.7k... We did all these when it wasn't beneficial, waiting for surge days or bonus to compliment. So let everyone do what works for them. You can't force me to be online when I don't want too or go to where I don't want to be all because I am chasing bonus. I know how many time they scratch my bumper in the name of chasing bonus. Today will no deh use map drive again, just update best route, fire down.

Not loyal to any app, if I find some peace in anyone again, I switch.

you are defending rubbish because you don't want to pay commission, anytime I opened rida and see all those ridiculous prices, it always annoy me, even the estimated price is always lower than than bolt price, then rider will still price it down, then you guys will still be fighting for it, no paid waiting time, rider will still have stop on the road, no surg , nothing, that price you calculated on for indrive #14500, there's no way it will not be more than that on bolt, yesterday I used 5k fuel to make 28k on bolt, will you say I make 20k to earn 10k. The only problem I'm having with bolt is there bonus, and I don't do trip I don't want to do because of bonus

I like the new bolt payment, payment update immediately
