Have you seen any woman complaining of Uber before? Bolt is the problem.

please mention one woman who has complained.

That's because not everyone uses Uber unlike Bolt.
Uber riders are more Matured, well cultured, responsible people. Not saying these kinda people aren't on Bolt too but you can also find those saucy and lousy types.

Its possible sometimes not every week, but commission inclusive.

Now is not possible because of the crowd in it.
Last week I only made 46k commission inclusive. Its not worth it anymore, the fare is not encouraging with high prices of fuel and maintenance, but better than nothing that is why some cannot quit

46k per week not Ok? Somebody's Monthly salary in Lagos

Depends on the car you're using

If it's corolla then is not
What about a Honda... Like Accord 2003 - 2005 models?

I know we're talking fuel. Consumption and maintenance any ideas thanks?

BRATISLAVA:


That AC matter in Bolts is something I'd prefer not to talk about (but I will anyway). It's a peeve and I always express my anger from the back seat (they usually get angry once one goes to the back and we're not married!).

When you first get in, they'll act like their windows have been down and they want to turn on the AC for you.

With one of them, we got moving to those nowhere-ish parts of the airport road when I complained that his AC was not working. He initially lied that he was adjusting it, but after more complaints and a few more kilometers, he said it doesn't work! I couldn't get down at that point, so I had to sweat it to my destination.

It's happened countless times and only with bolt. The other one told me his AC works only when he accelerates! And there was a traffic jam! Several times I've gotten angry and told them to just wind down. It helps to leave for your destination on time so that they don't have you tied to them. They can be wicked.

But they will come online to sound innocent. I'm more on guard with bolts thab Ubers. Their cars are very different. Bolt cars are usually terrible and their drivers mannerless. They suck.

There's only one bolt I've entered in Nigeria that I can recommend. Only one.

This is really sad to hear.

Good Day all
My name is Jeff
I will try my best to be as detailed as I can. Please I'm not a great writer pardon my error/blunder I kuku no get opportunity go school at least nairaland has helped me a lot in terms of spelling and writing too

Back to my topic...... September 8 2019 I took my corolla to bolt office in maitama for registration I attended their lesson I passed that same day I became a bolt driver I did my first 5 trips and I was happy, it was difficult for me as a beginner using GPS to driver for the first time.

My first 1 month was hell, all the money I made was spent on traffic offences, like wrong U turn, touching your phone while on traffic light, like dropping a rider in front of a market, like beating the traffic light, etc I learned the hard way
