And bolt are selfish. They only want the drivers to sacrifice while they are unwilling to reduce their percentage to reflect the economic situation

Finding it hard to book a ride self. No much drivers despite the long waiting time.

Bolt should do upward review the fares so we can get enough of them on the roads

Oh, you didn't get the memo?

Last time I attempted to book a ride from Apo resettlement to Gwagwalada in Abuja, bolt displayed about 13,200 naira as the fare. I simply turned off the app, went inside to UnCloth and went back to my bedroom. Had to conclude my business on WhatsApp with the client I was to go see.

I really feel for these guys.

Imagine being an investor to this business with 10 cars.
Now that fuel price has gone up and drivers are quitting the business.That’s a big loss.

Investing in Nigeria can make you run mad.
seek knowledge of other viable areas and sell some of the cars in order to divest from Uber.

I BELIEVE ONE CAN STILL MAKE A DECENT LIVING OF IT DESPITE THE FUEL HIKE. IM AWARE BOLT /UBER HAVE ALSO INCREASED PRICES FOR RIDES.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE (NIGERIANS) ARE TOO GREEDY , ALWAYS WANTING A 200% GAIN IN EVERYTHING WE DO.

IMAGINE BOOKING A RIDE AND THE DRIVER WILL TELL YOU HE WANTS TO CANCEL THE RIDE SO HE CAN GO OFFLINE ON THE TRIP. HOW WILL THE BUSINESS SURVIVE. IMAGINE U ARE THR OWNER OF THE BUSINESS AND U ARE BEEN RIPPED OFF THAT WAY.

YOU WONT HEAR THE DRIVERS SAY THIS, BUT THEY ONLY COME HERE AND COMPLAIN.

THERE IS SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH NIGERIANS.

Anyway my advice to business minded Nigerians is that there is going to be a gas revolution very soon. If you are wise get prepared to make money. How many of you watched the program on NTA yesterday morning which ended around 9 a.m.

A very interesting and informative program. CONVERSION OF VEHICLES TO AUTOGAS (Part2). There is going to be a part 3 and more for further enlightenment.

Dr. Ibrahim Muhammad, the chairman National Gas Expansion Program, an invited guest along with other guest
dished out so many information, even on how if tendency which may arise from supply of gas not being able to meet the rising demands which may result to increase in price. He did talked about measures that will make gas constantly available.

Let me give everyone of us an insight. Try to start watching NTA if you want to know where this government is heading to.

There will be a GAS REVOLUTION very soon which will be very, very, very beneficial to all.

Moreover the caburators are dual, can use both petrol and gas, gas and disel. So that you can alternate their use to fit your what may be advantageous to you at any given instance.

Bolt and wuber is collecting 25% for each ride....so If I take a trip of 1k in surulere and bolt and wuber removes 25%..how much will be left to buy fuel and data or maintain car... bolt and Uber collecting 25,*% did not buy car or tyre for any driver....are they not the ones greedy?

25% commission on each ride...if ur ride is 2k...the driver gets 1500 and pays bolt abut 500. In pH, a 2k ride is quite a distance...that 3k fuel might not cover and ur fuel gauge hits reserve.
