For me, I hardly review that nonsense

When I trip ends and I see a rubbish fare, I ask my rider to tell me the estimate, or we check it together. Let bolt take their commission on #500,
since that's their destiny.

Do you know the review came in later these morning and it was 1900 naira. They said they have sent the rider message to pay the remaining, that if the rider doesn't I should let them know in a weeks time that they will compensate me. I asked them if these strategy or system has been effective, knowing these is naija.i told them to remove the 1200 naira from my yesterday gross earnings, when the rider say then they can add it. But me i know say naaaa wash

You got a fair price compare to what Bolt did to me today, E remain small make I cry. Imagine a trip from Akerele Surulere to Mosan Estate iyana ipaja N1,000. I didn't even review it cos I won't get compensated. The rider sha gave me N2700 base on quality customer service I rendered to her. After that incidence, Another request came in from iyana ipaja to Landmark beach Victoria island. At d end of the trip d fare was N2900. This was d serious heart Break. The babe was just surprised that d fare is too low, she told her boyfriend to add extra 1k to it. I would have made 30k today if not for d shortages. But thank God I met riders with conscience and fear of God.

27k....wow! When you start work today? How do you guys do it crossing the 20k margin on weekends? I seriously need to know how to hack these 20k margin. Is there a strategy or you just depend on the wind(anywhere it blows you to)

Please house, I did a trip from luth (bello road) to dolphin extension.rider took me through Ijora,then through idumota before hitting marina and then to dolphin. When I ended the trip saw 700 naira (The app keeps hanging all through today). I did a fare review but the review never came back on time so rider paid me estimate only for the review to come these night and is showing 1900 naira. Please who will pay for the extra 1200 naira? Because I told bolt rider paid 700 naira while doing the review. The mofos has added these 1200 naira to my gross. I have sent them a message again complaining bitterly. Please anyone with experience should please throw more light concerning the 1200 naira I never collected from the rider, will bolt add that to my payout

Freshprince91:
Elders, it seems Taxify algorithms has been tampered with. How can i complete 13 trips before deadline and all they could give me is just 700 naira bonus instead of the initial 3250 naira.
What could be wrong?
I have sent them a mail asking why they feel good ripping me off all the time .
I dey inside traffic for itamaga, ikorodu trying to find my way home inside this life shortening traffic, yet, taxify wan sit ontop my money.
In between, I was able to make up for the laziness on Friday and Saturday.
Grossed this with 4k fuel.
Local man is exhausted, if I comot this traffic, na food, cold bath and sleep sure pass.
My Mondeo dey greet una

Are you sure is not because of your acceptance rate, it's 80% and they said minimum of 95% or sp

Last trip for the day....from. Osborne estate to Munguno Close(in malete after bogie)

Main trip fare was 3650+
Waiting time.. 50

Total 4000 naira.........
Uber wants to eat my 1200, can you imagine? To make matters worse rider did transfer have not seen it till now he said I I'll see it, if I dont, I should call him........what a day.


PS... Men one will think that area is far it's just 49km from ikoyi

Men all you bolt driver unna dey try oh, I sometimes all myself what really keeps or make drivers use these app. All these stress you must go through, if there is issue no way to report, even if you do they will not refund you. They leave you to Deal with the riders thereby making you to fight with the riders in case of ride payment.

I took a rider to the airport after all the your car is not moving fast, I have someone to meet at the airport, you didn't take my preferred route etc. I finally got to departure swiped the end trip icon the app was taking ages to end the trip and come up with the fair, rider needs to quickly meet someone.....i had to go and turn at that airport road while waiting for the price to show.... Crazy wasted precious time.....las Las when I showed I call

famousguy01:
Can you send the link of the story pls. Or give me a little into it so I can also get a cue from it. Thanks

just google it.

Ever since that taxify driver incident I log out by 6pm..i set destination to the house

pope191:
Customer service
Fear of not offending riders

Brother these season we are now one has to be so formal and careful, no entering of riders compound, no even helping of carrying load into the compound.

pope191:
ah hear u bozz, 80k grossing must b meet, I'm on 68k now.

so you are amongst does that want to take home 30k too after remitting 30k to partner and 20k for fuel.... Abbi you just pegged 80k for these week

vicolame:
I do respect your opinion but pls lets not dance to the same song Taxify sang/played to us, we need a body at this time more that ever cos same way you envisage free bees i tell you that i smell further crash in prices by either of uberbolt or both of them just to remain in business an dont forget all Lagosians want is the cheapest ride so las las na drivers go suffer am o!

Interesting, didn't think of it in that light. Well someone here spoke of early bird/ early adopters that will be our advantage first of all. Then another here spoke of how he is converting his cashflow into a passive income investing in a plantain plantation.i take cue or draw inspiration from such moves. At the end naaaa to convert the raw cash into something else that will be generating revenue to support what we getting from these ehail business

Freshprince91:
You're doing just fine brother. Lazy driver like me dey house, i no know how i take offend taxify this week, make dem go chop their short trips.
In between, you"ve been to Agege (Oko-oba) today i suppose, how is getting a trip out of that area?
I got 2 requests this week to that area which i rejected and they were long trips.

Bros naaa God all the way. We ended the trip and same rider requested me back to shonibare estate ikeja

tojahh:
They will actually give Uber/Bolt a run for their money because the O-Everything brand has built a solid market base here in the metropolis.
They came in with big capital so branding and awareness campaigns would be a piece of cake.. Watch how drivers will clinged to em. Me in particular.

The goal is to squeeze out every juice we can find from them and the whole outcome(a new big player entering into the market will make uber and taxify throw incentive to retain or lock drivers in)

They have cash so there will be lots of bonuses from them, free rides to the existing o ride clientele or customer base. So I will sharply register with them

Freshprince91:
Were you able to complete your 20 trips yesterday?
Bolt have been sending me on silly errands since morning (Maryland - Isaac Jones ikeja & local airport (no return trip from there) 4 times i have done that nonsense.
Na house i dey now..
I go try see if their madness don stop for evening and the annoying thing is : the entire 5k trips are all card trips because I dey owe them 2700 naira for commission.

for where. Today naaa both of my app I put on, nay one way trip enter naaa him I dey do but today bolt take style win uber for trips shaaaa.like these I dey rest for orchid road Ikota side, these days naaaa "surulere" be the code now anything wet come out after partner money I take am like that because I notice all these target ginger, I must make 30k like my partner etcccccccc...... Naaaaa body go finally hear am. Man is just short changing ones health for cash.

What a day, things started on a wrong note but boy it's all turning around for good.

Bolt app is one sensitive app, any network/data problem the app will just malfunction. Took a trip from Greenville estate to church bishop oko-oba road when I end trip 1300 naira, I want to cry.

I noticed it that the app us not reading at chevron did all I could had to tell the rider say my app not working oh, that hope they checked estimate before they booked they said yes. At the end we used it but they opted for the lowest fare form the estimate, Las Las the commission bolt suppose collect will make up for it. I later took them from that oko-oba to shonibare estate which the app didn't misbehave, just got another trip from here to VI on uber estimate is showing 200-2650

fasa199:
Please how much to fix a leaking exhaust?? I just noticed my exhaust is leaking.

depends, also I don't think there is a universal or pegged prices. It's a function of where the it's leaking from and the welder

peeps4u:
They had better not brand their cars to avoid the OBus failure

Just thought about these some few minute ago, am sure they would have learnt there lesson.

Make bolt just enjoy today's card trip oh! Because from 2mwr I go dey ask is it card or cash. How can dey just die my 3200 Maura like that because I dey owe them 6185...them no even say make them collect 2k naaaa wah ooo.




I read somewhere that opay is lunching o-car there own car ehailing service. Same 15% flat commission rate, N60/km,N10/Min once driver completes 20trips they starts collecting 3%. They are trying to merge the pros of uber and bolt in one place. So guys don't hesitate to download the app once it's launched....

Freshprince91:
Chief, wetin happen today, you be high flier na.
Na only one trip your boy don do since and i dey trapped here for Int'l Airport.

International flight normally comes on very early in the morning or late at night. If you find yourself at the airport by say 9am to 11am boss head straight to local airport, MM1 to be precise because it's an open park network will not be tempered with or disturbed unlike mm2 car park...

Gentlelife50:
Bros the thing tire person, driving in this Lagos is something else.
Hope he drop something?

Men if you want to do the right thing, if you drive the normal way them go dey say you be learner, them go dey look you as ase(ju man) when did abnormality becomes the norm? These country erh. I don't hesitate to step on the brakes to allow car dey dey drag road pass oh, I don't contest, I practically avoid them.....crazy even bikes dey chance me for road because me I can't shout.... Time is money. When e happen Las Las you go spend days for panel beater and painter shop.

Am at the airport chilling.. Waiting for the next flight to touch down.

Is it possible to hit 20 trips on uber today alone? Can I do it? Just started work today have been tending to other business.

Freshprince91:
Haha haha! Bros, you wan send me to jail.
If i dabble into marijuana, local boys and girls for here no go allow the plant rest, dem dey smoke pot here like no tomorrow.
To grow cocoa, bros, one need a large expanse of land and that we do not have anymore because Baba ijebu son has bought all the land for palm plantation. Our fathers ( mine excluded) have traded our lands and inheritance for peanuts (40,000 naira for 1 acre of land)
With that kind of investment his grandchildren can never go hungry.
Just take a look at the green field, he's making millions sleeping.

Palm plantation is one investment that is good to have, especially if the seeds are the genetically modified ones aka agric. Men the demand is huge. Read sometime that we could not meet the demand of Unilever and other who are into soap and cream production, so they have to import it from outside the country. The guy is wise my friend he is just multiplying his money.


Thanks for spicing up these thread with your investment or investment you making with the cash flow from ehail business, am sure lots of us here has other thing we plug our cash into.

depair:
what's the best fare for trip from Lekki phase to and from LA campaigne Tropicana ibeju lekki

Thanks

Check estimate using bolt..then multiply by two because you will not get a trip back

From blenco all the way to ajah blocked for those coming in for Ajah, and From that turn before blenco all the way to ado roundabout blocked for those going to ajah From ado.
As usual no patience everybody wants to go, everybody is in a hurry. Crab mentality - if I don't go you are not going anywhere.


Now others a taking one way to block the road at the front


Bikes has capitalise on it and hiked the fare, workers treking home inside the rain, no light, street light not on, tomorrow these same workers will be up by 4am so as to get to office on time just to make minimum wage. I just painted a picture of my Nigeria, the Nigeria I live in.... Crazy!

Why is that government and government workers like eye service and I don't carelism. How someone is his right sense decide to fix a road (ado road) that is the only exit and entry at peak period? Now the road is blocked does coming from Ajah is stucked, we going to ajah we are stuck.. The private company that did Osborne road starts by 2 am when there are less cars passing, but these Lagos start road maintainable department naaa by 9pm them dey fix road when people dey come back from work.

Father what is all these? How did we get to these level where mediocrity is now the order of the day. We now bask in it and wear it around our neck like a big jewelry.

Local man is tired of these country, is tired of how things has gone so bad in less than 5 yrs

Has anybody notice that each time we place a bet on any bet slip and it cuts there is always one banker we know will not fail.

Every week we all have one game that we are sure will play and also has a team that gives the same outcome at least 3times in a month(3 in every 4 weeks) just thinking what if will all drop our bankers (that we know occurs 99% in a month, that's is 3 out of 4times in a month) and use it to form an acca.

Let's form a 30 -50 odds acca from each bankers dropped

Freshprince91:
Bros, i thought the Airport trip is the real deal but my trip from Int'l Airport to Kofo Abayomi, Victoria island was 2800 naira with light traffic at Oshodi to Anthony bridge, Adekunle (3MB) and TBS linking Bonny camp.
To make matter worse, taxify no add my 500 naira parking lot toll to the fare .
How Cooladex and luxurydriver con dey make the money from Airport trip, i no understand.

you are suppose to start the trip before crossing the barricade (that place you give them the paper card)( or that place you insert the orange coin these for MM1)

izzou:
That means he was constantly hitting 20k average for 30 days

Don't mind them. I sometimes think taxify/bolt is franchised by Nigerian owners. I think some group of Nigerian went there to franchise or license the soul right of using there app because no foreign company(Multinational company) will do these

Tyche:
Theres no point converting the money to Naira since most of it will be spent in $. The structure of expenses in the two countries are not the same.

Yeah... @200$ for 9hr driving the driver is making on average 20$ per hour

So my military partner(who is a major) said I should use my mechanic to fix what I said is wrong with the car then send the balance of last week payment to him.

We got to these junction because the fleet management company I applied to who manages his car decide to take off there hand and marry me mad him together. I for jakpa but I asked the Holy Spirit for wisdom and he gave me, I told him oga where is your mechanic Biko let me Drive down so he can confirm my repairs observation or complains, he said i should use my own that his mechanic is far. I ended up telling him I will Only use mine for these repair that subsequently naaa him own we go use, and he said OK.

So like these naaa so so short videos i dey do oh. Tires I bought I done send am short videos, about buying hub and taking it to my mechanic to fix. I go still send am video, because naa major him be, before I enter guard room. I can't come and do frog jump when am not contesting for Mr Nigeria.

I told him his mechanic needs to check the car a send a report of the car condition that will be a bases for repair observation make him no say I dey forge stories because these major naaa sambisa him Dey oh. I beg make unna pray for me oh
