Some of them don't know what mental slavery is and then he went ahead and wrote an epistle defining slavery and employee. How many of us dey read terms and conditions while downloading apps...did he? And he is talking about agreement.

My expenses before the fuel increase:
Fuel: 8000/185 = 43Ltrs
InDrive commission: 2k
Total expenses: 10k

Expenses after fuel increase:
Fuel: 43Ltr x 488 = 20,984
InDrive commission= 2k
Total expenses: 22,984

Will the work rate be the same? With this I will have to work more to cover my expenses before I start to work for any form of profit. Yet he talks about making more money now than before.

I honestly won't like to get into this drag going on here, but inbetween I think facts should not be distorted. I am still in the learning process and won't like to jump into what I don't know, but even since the subidy, I've been giving it a second tot from my position of thinking the work is no longer worth it.

Prices are no longer the same, the traffic rate is not the same. Tho a bit stressful compare to what it used to be. Before I don't go beyond 100/120k weekly, but all factors being equal, I hope to gross 160k doing 4 and half days. The only issue here is, the better chunk of the money goes to fuel. Like I always say, almost everyone is feeling it, VI peeps are merging trips. It's a period in our country we all just have to sacrifice and hope for better price and balance as things unfold. Thank you

Uber reduced their commission to 20% last year, Bolt jacked theirs up to 25% from 20% within the same period in Lagos. I may be wrong?

I don't really think Bolt is so much bothered about Uber fares, Indrive are the ones pulling the strings in Lagos and frustrating all efforts because of their popularity amongst riders.

Ironically, same drivers who are on strike today are the ones that will be picking cheap and unwholesome fares on Indrive.

Crvrider:


The bolded is what is being asked for and this is why some drivers have come out to lend their voice. If their agitations falls through it benefits everyone now instead of showing solidarity, they are mocked at.

pope191:


We all cant have same view, so I think it's best to do what works for one. Not all driver can go on strike, if 60/70% can observe it, then I think the message should be clear enough.

GeneralZodd:


15k fuel ( Half tank) to make 51k

There was no fuel left in the tank after sales

2.4 litre engine Toyota Camry muscle. Fuel Consumption is a bit high

I would have made more if I drive Yaris, Corolla or Matrix.

Na Yaris dey enjoy this subsidy season: 22k full tank can gross close to 100k or more

Some of my guys dey use that car

BAZ001:


Wrong at the bolded all drivers should or be forced to go on strike.

Anytime there is a strike the union or members forces every other staff to join either by blocking entrance to office or go into office to tell them to join. Some go as far as pulling off electric supply.

Even doctors will stop new admission and monitor that others comply.

Crvrider and other drivers observing strike should begin to send drivers to 2nd rainbow, spoil the driver score and bonuses.
This happen every time (get your neighbors phone keep making request and frustrating them)
Make juicy request on inDriver and leave them to struggle for it and salivate
Remember last time union were making request and impounding cars of drivers too, just to frustrate them
I went to national Staduim to join the peaceful protest then before police came to arrest first 4 cars.

Viking07:
The strike has been a tremendous success. Almighty bolt increased their fares 3 times under 7 days. Uber increased their own for the 2nd time today. This is despite the very “hardworking” Nairaland drivers who always claim to make profit. 😆 But sane drivers protested and we’re making progress. Even though the prices are still unbalanced.

The next push is a total reduction of commission to 10% on all apps in Nigeria. We’d continue pressing their neck on Monday. I was at the protest ground today and the number of Corollas I saw, I’ve never seen it in my life. 😁

Kudos to all those who stood on the side of truth and made their voices heard on different platforms. From Lagos to Abuja to Kano to Delta, Ibadan, Kwara etc. Una well done . 🙌✌️

KNOW THIS AND HAVE PEACE:-
Both Uber & Bolt will never reduce their 25% commission their whole business model is built on this 25% , in all the countries, that they operate in, their commission is 25%
India they have about 600,000 drivers, America Uber has about 700,000, U.K. abt 85,000, S/ Africa abt 50,000, Egypt about 35,000, Australia, Europe? In Colombia I think they have abt 90,000, Brazil almost the same, these are multinational companies, Nigeria they have abt 30,000 drivers.
I don’t see them making an exception for Nigeria, it’s not gonna happen.’the number of Nigerian drivers on their platform is minuscule.
As a matter of fact when the the 30,000 drivers license is divided btw both Apps l think Bott has 2”17000 and Uber 13000
What Nigerian Uber or bolt drivers should concentrate on is is fares, that can be increased if enough pressure is applied.
E-hailing usually show flexibility on fares , then the unionisation of their drivers, they will fight tooth and nail to prevent this from happening, their claim is that those driving for them are partners and not employers.
However, In the U.K., they give holiday pay, pension etc, but only after being forced to do so by the courts.
My candid opinion is for Nigerians to fight for increase fares,
E-hailing averagely provide’s a good service, It’s relatively safe, in some countries they are the biggest employers of labour & the job is very flexible, averagely one makes more money then white collar jobs or office earners.
Agitation for increased fare should be perhaps 50% max,
To ask for 200% means you are worse then those that removed the subsidy in the first place,,
Rent for vehicles should also go up to btw 40k and 50k per wk for owners.
Drivers should not be selfish, knowing drivers, they will want all the 200% increase for themselves alone nothing for owners.
May God bless your hustle folks, but be sensible in your request for increase in fares.
50% is best or you will all lose customers.
I think Nigeria has the best educated representatives of E-hailing around the globe, well done and keep up the good work

XGhost:


You have touched on some of the issues that they're not looking at. They think these arbitrary demands will not have a knock-on effect on the whole ecosystem. Raise fares arbitrarily and shrink the customer base. Your 10 trips of 2k each become 5 trips of 3k each. Raise fares but landlords must not raise rent.
Regulators would not also look at protecting customers?
Reduce commission but continue to provide services to keep the app running. Is it only drivers that have been impacted by increased operating costs?
People talk like they have no idea how businesses are run.

Also, Rida and InDrive came in to fill that gap bolt and Uber have left, make Dem use those two nau

pope191:



Do you see union here? It will take emp to fry all phones to get drivers to do that. I'll like all drivers to go on strike, but you know some will work. At the sight of surge 2.5, one driver will surly on his app and you should know it means when everyone is out to check is someone is out.

XGhost:
Unless my own app is different or I'm enjoying some preferential treatment, uber reduced commission to 20% for over a year now but you guys still bandy 25%. Also for nearly 2 years now Uber rolled out a promo, do15 trips and every trip thereafter is 5% or 30 trips for 2% commission. There's also other bonuses without bolts type of conditions.
I honestly don't understand why the lies and half truths
Make una kwantinue

CHARLOE:
Pls when will d strike be over?

TheModerator:

If you look carefully at the digits in that fake alert he sent to himself, the actual figure is 12k. I kid you not bro. He copied a 12k alert from his other phone, edited it and added 500, then sent it to his chinko phone. Zoom and look at it very well, I highlighted the 500, one can tell that there's something not right about it. Larry1960 isn't very smart afterall.

Crvrider:
Let 90% of drivers down tools for 1week and let's see if the app companies will not dance to your tunes. Continue to allow yourselves to be deceived that the app companies don't care. Without a doubt they know drivers are the life blood of the business.

IFSHR:


Keystone ..but nothing is wrong with using globus ..just avoid MFB

skillip:
I admit that it will be difficult or almost impossible to reduce commission, but to say that their business is built around 25% where they operate is not correct. A Google search for Bolt in Paris, France will show you 19% and 15% in other cities.
