Abeg make una leave me jare. U have a point though, If u want us to protest and demand for increase in fare that's another discussion and I am for it. Cos cost of parts no be hear.

But asking why Bolt included a charge to cover whatever cost they may be incurring is not a question for us to answer. As far as it's not we that are paying that extra 3%
Moreover, now that u understand the situation, why haven't u come out to say Bolt is not charging 23% they just stylishly increased fare while sidelining partners? Cos u guys are of the opinion that Bolt is now charging 23%.

They increased commission and increased fare, so drivers won't complain.

When it comes to cars it's a bit difference .. We look for the highest person with a deposit.. We than do a detail video of the car and send it to the person.

This usually happens when I buy the car from a private seller. So am confident enough to look for person willing to put down the highest deposit .... I usually take my time .

I either get a call or email and asking more infor about the car . I than send more detail videos to all the prospective buyers.......

Some will show interest and be willing to put down deposit for the car. And we ask them each how much are the willing to put down. So we than look for the highest person, this shows high probability rate the person will buy it . once we confirm an alert we seal the deal .........

Once the vehicle is almost getting to LAGOS , we let the person know . And once he sees the vehicle and satisfy . He has 5 business days to make remaining balance

I will not be on 3mb at 1am, so that renders everything you said invalid.

This is clear now. Thanks.

This model assumes there will always be multiple buyers for every vehicle.

What if the vehicle the person want to buy is rare and he's the only one interested in it. How do you determine the amount of deposit to take

Programming an app to display certain features is not hard just like how they made drivers feel destination cannot be shown when you get requests.

They know their reasons for not breaking down the details and they know the reasons for not showing net earnings while they show gross. The gross will keep deceiving drivers thinking they are making money and that is the more reason why majority of bolt drivers say what they have at hand is different from app money. You see my friend, these are psychological done on drivers on purpose.


See, I only counter wrong notions and statements like "bolt is stealing our money" "bolt is charging 23%" etc
For your information, Bolt also shows Net Earnings, it's clear on the Bolt App, moreover, who doesn't know u have to deduct commissions to get d actual amount u have made for yourself. Or does almighty sophisticated Uber App deduct fuel costs from your Net earnings on the App so u can really know how much remains in ur pocket??
Abeg, let's leave this trashing of Bolt every time for unnecessary things.

Abeg I have a serious question that has been bothering me lately.

How does bolt or how can one handle a situation whereby one is very close to a rider’s pick up point and he or she cancel the request.

Even after one has called them to let them know you are on your way.

Imagine driving more than 7km and when almost there they cancel.

The last one pain me enter blood, I feel like calling back the rider and insulting the hell out of her.

Airtime, fuel, and time wasted just like that.

Does bolt not compensate for this?

As per my office no dey open na, i set out early 7:10 am , rested in a place from 2- 4 :15 due to fatigue Had some mad migrain in between (as i was fighting the sleep by noon). Closed 11: 25pm or so

It's kinda stupid as the app that connected both the driver and rider shows where the driver is on his/her App.

Is it not clearly shown on their app?
Because someone asked a silly question doesn't mean I have to answer stupidly.

So the best way I answer is, I am close by/ around the corner/ few blocks away.

We do have multiple buyers for each vehicles and sometimes we dont. And if we don't we sell the cars when it gets to LAGOS.. I try to buy the cars low as possible . This is why I prefer buying from private sellers .......
And to put it out there. The profit margin on cars are very low .Some of these guys are making 50k 100k or some are getting just their capital, and some are 3rd party car dealers. Someone will bring a car today to sell. They fix it up etc and than sell on behalf of their client . we have many of them on nairaland and all over LAGOS. The exchange rate is not helping at all . As of today Dec 28th 2021 buying dollar is 565
and selling is 558. ..........

But in my own case , I load containers and I can't just load without filling it with cars. The cars are used to offset the container goods. So whether person put deposit or not . I go buy and load inside container. And cars I look for are not that rare .... I usually buy the following types of cars.......

1. Hyundai elantra
2. Volvo Xc90
3. Hyundai vearcruz
4. Camry and Toyota if the price is right for container loading...
5. Toyota sienna.

There is nothing rare about this vehicles. And I was thinking of buying a ford edge(pic below) . but the deal didn't go through ... And I have never had issues selling this cars at all . The most important thing is to buy them cheap enough. And most times I do come across very good deals.

Sorry for the experience.

In cases like this I wish it's Uber, Uber will give u more money than the trip sef with apology and abeg no vex.
..bro, I changed my car colour sometimes in January and I message bolt they told me to go do re inspection which i did but i was surprised my app was still showing the former colour to riders ,I just dey explain everytime to riders that noticed, I did another inspection again last month still no changes of which we input the new colour during inspection...tho 60% of Nigerian riders don't even know the car colour that is coming to pick them grin but for those that know I don tire to dey shalayè...wetin i go do?
