. Bolt is not to be trusted. Forget the jargons they are telling U. Rating on Bolt is being manipulated by the system they put in place. Riders rating of drivers only has 30% effect.

When I was still very active on their platform, I found out 3 major things that keep rating high.

1. Never decline any Card trip: that is where they cash out.

2. Accept and do all trips going to good, bad and forbidden places

3. Kiss riders ass, dance to their tune, let them control you and order u around.

If drivers adhere to these 3 Major rules, rating will never be an issue at all.


But I thank God for INdriver. I am free like a bird. Mobolowowon !!!

So dull. I'm back home, probably to make a re-entry later. Uber looks orange but the fear of long pick ups is the beginning of ride hailing wisdom...

Abeg how outside b today? Anyone out dia, this rain switch my mood to movies mood

peeps4u:
I don't understand why these coys have refused to go back to the commissions they charged before covid era. I really enjoyed Uber's 3% commission after 25 trips or also.

Most owners don't know how to manage their cars .. A lot of them hire drivers without doing due diligence. A lot are using the wrong cars for the job .......I blame the partner for the collapse of the business .. All hands must be on deck if u want to succeed........

And have been saying this from the day .. Corolla is too expensive for the job .. It does not make sense using corolla .. It cost too much and it is over price regardless if it is tokunbo or not ........

Even if you buy naija used corolla for e hailling ... It is still expensive.. And most naija cars are abused especially the corolla .. So in the long run u are running at a lost .. Coz that naija used corolla u will end up pumping money for repairs .....

AOB1:
una too like trouble for this thread

BAZ001:


Goatkanu food don done.
Anybody that go online on Monday on Uber /bolt is a big snitch. It’s better to join fast finger INDRIVER though but it will be nice if all drivers can take Monday off. After all you can net 55k without stress next week.
All partners should join too by forfeiting dis week remittance.
We go need drone to monitor dis strike ooh

ThatNiccur:


Exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Truth is, at the end of two years or whatever time one makes the capital, the value of the car as at when capital is recouped, would be your profit.

If vehicle is in a good condition, vehicle can be resold maybe at half the price it was bought.

A very good maintenance culture should leave vehicle in top shape.

100k a month should amount to 2.4m in 24 months.

Bros had my understanding been opened when i was working with Huawei as an FME? Under 3months i would have travelled out this shithole country no matter how much I would have cost me I would've been able to afford it.

One word of advise, get an Int'L passport (incase you don't have one), gather money and work you and yiur family out of this country.

That money you want to invest into ehailing is enough to get you and your wife and kids a visa then collect loan and move. There's no future in that line of business you're planning on going into has no future and the risk in it is even more than the one in your present job.

Above all pray about what ever you decide on before going into it.

Felicity001:


Any driver not joining the proposed strike is selling his future and future of his generation to come to riders and the app companies because these are the once on the winning side.

You sound like someone who enjoys watching others suffer

kanuisagoat:


Only people who want to get blocked get blocked for low ratings. I have said it before and will keep saying it. Even if I drive on bolt for 100 years, I can never be blocked.

I woke up this morning with a rating of 4.55. Here I am now

jaymejate:


What's the meaning of Akata? I'm thinking you mean "whites". This sounds like racism but it's Nigeria... "no racists in Nigeria."

lagusboyyy:
He is actually wrong.

"akata" is a slang(yoruba) word used for BLACK AMERICANS.

Just like how they use ni*ga for themselves.

Akata is not used for White Americans.

davit:
One will be available very soon.

Oluwabengz:



Hypothesis 1: Let's assume 1.9surge is constant for one month, which means an increase in price and I'd wait for 45mins to get a request.

Hypothesis 2: There's no surge constantly for a month and i dont have to wait for more than 5mins to get a trip.
Which of the hypotheses do you think will benefit drivers more?


Keep in mind that hypothesis 1 will reduce cost of fuel, extend oil change intervals, reduce wear and tear of car.

You are right that some people will leave Bolt/Uber to jump public bus if there's increase in price but some of those people will still come back anytime they need that confort that e hailing gives them and they will squeeze out the money to pay for the service.

Felicity001:


Guy you need to start watching it bro... Proud is gradually crawling in... Several guys have been contacting me for rhe past 3 weeks now on how their accounts where unjustly blocked and after much investigation I discovered riders are responsoble for this unjust and unprofessional act by Bolt.

Pray not to come across any unfortunate rider for any reason.

chillex8:

But you just said there's no future.
Which side are you on

kanuisagoat:


Okay, I wasn't clear.

What I meant was that, bolt can never block me due to low ratings or high rate of cancellation. Never.

Pearl1910:


No sir, that wasn't the focus of the discussion...we weren't comparing earnings with standard of living so its skewed to bring in inflation and all what not...pls go back and check how d gist started and see if your contribution was necessary/relevant to the line of discussion.

Felicity001:


I swear

It's not easy ooh and the annoying thing is Nigeria is not even getting better in any way.
