141samuel: Then, it will only be patronized exclusively by the rich. Distance you use to pay 1,000 naira will now be 3,000 naira just for one trip. Remember, not everyone has a job and most of the jobs are poorly paid jobs. 1 Like |

Equity15: There are N300 fares bro. For new riders just registered on bolt, Bolt gives them discount up to 50-60% of the cost of the trip. Assuming the ride was supposed to be N600, with 50% discount, the rider joyfully pays N300. The driver doesn't even know the amount of the trip until he ends the trip. He is expecting N700 - N800 for the trip, and Boom he sees N300 flashed on the Bolt app as the cost of the fare. It can be annoying. Although, Bolt augments the difference every Monday. So the driver has to wait from Tuesday to next Monday for the difference. 2 Likes |

I do Bolt part time and pick passengers sometimes in the mornings and evenings when I need urgent cash to buy fuel. The one that usually get me pissed in such situations are card trips. You leave house without cash hoping to carry a rider and get urgent cash. The fuel in your tank is low, you can manage for 2 or 3 trips. You pick your first passenger and annoying see it is a Card Trip, and the rider won't pay u. Okay no wahala, u hope u will get cash in the 2nd trip. U pick your 2nd rider, and again it is another Card Trip. How frustrating. And by the time u finish the 2nd ride, your fuel is low and you are without cash. You pick your 3rd Passenger and frustratingly, it turns out to be a card trip, and by time u get to your destination you are without cash and fuel. Your morning is already spoilt. God help u the car develops issues on the way. Bolt app owners usually repay drivers for Card trips only on Mondays. But I learnt they have changed it after it was generating issues between drivers and riders. Bolt app owners are taking advantage of situations. The drivers labour daily ,faces serious challenges all day, pay high maintenance costs on their cars, and Bolt app owners just sit and collect a Whooping 25% on every ride without owning a car, fueling or maintqaning the car. It is a rip off cartel. 1 Like |

Positiveme2020: Always search all matters. You may be lucky with the kind of technicians that you have but bros, I just spent about 95k trying to fix my AC and guess what, the thing Neva work. Now, I am looking for another technician after patronizing 3...by the time that one too start, how much will I spend? I no know yet. When it comes to fixing a vehicle in Nigeria, aside from high cost of spare parts, technician are another set of money vampires who don't care about you. 1 Like |

Re: Uber, Bolt Drivers Begin Strike In Abuja by 141samuel: 9:12pm On May 31, 2022 |
Ken4Christ:bro you get it wrong, that's not how to calculate minimum fee, it's just mean that the amount you pay for any minimum distance can't be less than 1000k, but the distance you are paying for 1000 can still remains the same or slightly different like 1200 or 1300.that little different can go a long way. I hope you understand my expectations, and if you notice must point up there is base on 300, how can you start your vehicle to pickup point, make a call , wait for the rider to come outside, drive to where the rider is going with AC and you are to act politely at end it the trip bolt/Uber will ask you to collect #300 or #500, bolt /Uber will still collect 25% |

airsaylongcome:I understand your point, but still this bolt/ Uber will give rider bonus and stop drivers bonus and drivers keep complaining high cost living/ mentainance. Who makes money and still give back |

pocohantas: Nigerians and their Extreme level of stupIdity. You won't ask this sill.y question when you see them using G-Wagon and Morden cars for Uber in the US or Dubai. So he should sell his Lexus to buy 2003 Corolla because he wants to do bolt, something he might even be doing as side hustle. |
Re: Uber, Bolt Drivers Begin Strike In Abuja by pocohantas(f): 9:56pm On May 31, 2022 |
AchichaMmuo: He should stop complaining. This has nothing to do with stupidity but understanding the environment. It is basic economics. If you decide to use Rolls Royce to provide ehailing service for Tiktok girls from Ikotun to Ilasan because you saw them doing it in Dubai (a tourist destination), then I do hope the saying that children take intelligence from their mothers holds true for your kids. 5 Likes 1 Share |
