TSRC: Interesting. I've been living under a rock I guess. Though I've not been to Lagos in a while but how could I have missed out on this spectacular development. There's no way to compete not only against the capital, but also against the titan that is Opera Technologies. |

MurderEnglish: post=81260848: I will never take Gokada bikes, even if there are no MAX riders available. I downloaded the Gokada app in April. I used it 4 different times to book a ride, both on Lagos mainland and Lagos Island. Their drivers/riders failed to show up, all 4 times. The 1st one I called along Herbert Macaulay Road in Yaba, told me he was 5 minutes away. His 5 minutes turned to 18 minutes. I called back again, he said he was coming. He kept giving me excuses for over 45 minutes and never showed up. After 1 hour, he stopped picking my calls. The 2nd rider was no better. He told me he was just dropping off a passenger. 10 minutes later he cancelled the trip from his own end . I called back to make enquiries, and he shouted at me, saying I was calling a wrong number! I checked my phone. It was definitely NOT a wrong number I dialled. It was the same number on the app, which I had earlier used to speak to him when I booked the ride. And it was the same voice that answered me. The 3rd and 4th times I used the app to book a ride, it was also a no show. I deleted the app. Then I tried their G-Boat ferry service in Lekki. I spent almost a whole day, trying to locate which jetty they were operating from. There were no signs or directions to the jetty. I made enquiries from different people, at each of the 5 jetties I went to, in that area. Nobody knew anything about G-boat. I now went to their Twitter handle and social media platforms, to lodge a complaint. They denied all the things I pointed out, and insisted that their boat service was running, yet they still couldn't give me the name of the jetty, or accurate directions to the right place where I could board the boat in Lekki. Their CEO has a lot of work to do, on the kind of information his staff give to the public, and the level of operations that are being carried out. Their efficiency, honesty and customer service needs to improve. However, it is too late for them to capture the interest of disappointed clients like me. I voted with my feet against them, several weeks ago.... 2 Likes |

TSRC:Despite the greens, their services are not much to write home about.... Their response time needs to improve. |

Khaleell001: safarigirl: Xyz001: Let us hope the Gokada CEO succeeds in his mission to restrategise and revamp his company. It takes more than a mere 2 weeks break to transform a company, in my opinion. It should be a continuous exercise that would last for several months, until operational efficiency, high level standards and good revenue yielding activities, become ingrained in the company's DNA. |

INTROVERT: NigPatriot: O'Pay/O'Ride might end up going the route of Easy taxi and the first set of ride hailing services, that came into the country, a few years back. They thought cheap rides and plenty ads, would win them a share of the market. Their success didn't last, and they took their exit from Nigeria. Uber and Taxify/Bolt came in next, learnt from the mistakes of their predecessors, and designed a sustainable strategy to capture the market, while avoiding the pitfalls of those that had come before them. Today, their business is thriving because they did not fall into that trap of cheap fares from day one, but opted for transparent pricing, swift response and affordability. 2 Likes |

Opay/oride has come to stay. Currently, opay is giving the likes of Págà a run for their money. Opera has determined to capture Nigerian market with tacts and finances. Gokada only operates in lagos while oride have spread to almost all the states' capital in Nigeria. Remember, oride have been monitoring Gokada modus operandi before they venture into the ride-hailing market. Another thing oride takes care of is their 'localisation' of services which means virtually any bikes can work with them insofar it's still functioning. Gokada, with their specialized bikes, only caters for the luxury industry. All in all, business without innovation dies quickly. Oride has come with full force and I don't see them running out of business sooner. |
