Sirianese:

you can pick a 1hr 22min trip and end up spending 30 minutes..

I have been driving on these apps for years using google map. I have never in my life experienced what you put up there.

Na because some of those riders sabi tap price. Normal-normal, 1hr trip no suppuse dey less than 11k. Fuel is now almost 1k everywhere.
If anyone picks trip of 1hr for 8k, then he's not making the deserved profit on that (excluding Suzuki miscreants). cheesy
8k should be perfect for rides 45mins and less.
This indrive has not done the needful yet.
They are still tossing us around.

Much respect, boss.

You're right but since this recent fuel increament, I've not seen an hour on indrive for 11k. It's usually one hour, twenty something minutes, and you can't even try to bid above it cos the riders won't pick. Riders on indrive are too cheap. They don't mind to wait for 30 mins or more. Indrive isn't even helping matters. They make them reduce the price so badly. I tried ordering from Sabo to Abijo GRA and I saw 14200, but I was able to reduce to 12k or so and it was about 1hr 30 mins......it could be more with more traffic! I'm just being truthful with what's happening now.

Though I still had fuel to meet my target today but I didn't meet it cos I couldn't pick the prices and drivers were picking it anyhow. Infact before you say jack, they've picked it. I waited for long, then I had to pick one going to ogba side, from VI for 11k......1 hr, 22 mins. I'm sure he picked me cos I was 4 mins away. If I had increased it even a bit, he would have picked someone who is 12 mins away and who picked his bidded price. I even spent far more than the time to get to destination.

I need someone to explain something to me regarding this people that do park at that alternative road in chevron.

So, I just parked somewhere around there, chilling inside my car and hoping I will get a trip to mainland from there, suddenly, a guy just came to my window and was asking me who am I?, I looked at the guy from head to toe, observing if he's a security guy, I didn't see anything to identify him as security, then I looked at the way he dress then concluded in my mind he isn't living in the building where I managed to park. Then, I told him I don't understand, why is he asking me who am I, he then asked again what am I doing here?, I replied, I parked, I then asked him if he's a security guy there, he said he is and he's not, I asked what does he mean by he is and he's not, he said ordinary people are not allowed to park there, I knew he's a driver and wants to park from his appearance then he said all the people I see that are parked around that place aren't ordinary, then I asked, aren't they drivers?, he said they are drivers then I told him I'm a driver also, he then proceeded to ask me who I know there?, I just told him I know people, he asked me to mention name, I said for security reason, I don't disclose my source names. I just wind up my car while i concentrate on my phone, after that, this guy made a call and I heard him telling the person on the phone that someone parked an he's telling the person to leave but he won't leave and he was going to deflate my tires, I just kept quiet until he started approaching my car with about 5 other guys, they came to me and were like who am I, I said I'm a driver like them and they said they don't allow strangers to park there, am like, I don't understand, aren't you guys drivers as well and this place doesn't belong to any of you, one of them just started commanding, telling me to leave there now. I asked him, what if I refused to go, will they beat me, he said if I don't go, anything I see, I should bare it.

I was stunned with their approach coz to me, it seems like they have formed one occultic group, and they are feeling so entitled to that place at the alternative route, someone should explain, what's happening around there, cox this is very strange to me to see that a certain group of drivers have personalized an area.

They are drivers like me and you. They just formed clique, so other drivers wouldn't park there.

They tried it on me once and I unleashed the area boy in me. They eventually succumbed

But why your DS go dey low like that sef? It's usually acceptance that goes that low. Maybe you treat riders anyhow and drive anyhow. Check yourself too bro

You can use indrive and uber(preferable).....cos indrive drivers go use your eyes see mabo

I don’t have my card on the app again. I’ve deleted my card from the app and input Opay since the last time we had that talk.

Your card details are still in their database. Go get a new card. The old one will be invalid.

If u enter unilag, just to GTB. They have the machine outside and it's fast and seamless

Please destroy your card if you’ve even used it on Indrive. Those guys don’t mind clearing your account. I have removed my card from this app… like I can’t even remember for how long I’ve done this, only to start seeing debit from Indrive.


I warned about this a long time ago when someone complained of unusual debits from indrive. It's not just indrive, remove your card details from other platforms.

I use the Opay option on indrive.

Sorry bro

Not this type of holiday boss. I don’t even know the reason for the holiday. I just know it’s connected to the Muslims. If anything will ever peak, it’ll be afternoon/evening and mostly short trips. If you go to VI today, you’ll tell the story for a long time 😂 you’ll do 1k from VI to Yaba Undisputedly.

Are you serious with ehailing? Using a 2.4L engine? Then my brother CNG is your new best friend 🧡

Embrace it while it's still government regulated. Once this fuel issue worsens it will get out of hand

Bro, not like we don't want to convert, it's very expensive!

Is this the reason for this dearth of trips I've been experiencing lately, today's really got me upset.

I guess you use bolt.
Bolt has lost a whole lot of riders. Imagine being on bolt for 20 mins and more and no request, even in a good area! Today no good at all!

Since the recent fuel increament, I buy 20/21k fuel and I make 55/60k, but today, with 20k fuel, I made 40k. It was Bolt's bonus that made it 46k, after completing 7 trips. Fuel don finish already. Time to sit down and have a rethink

We aren't talking about price, we are talking about Bolt taking ur money after asking u to collect discounted amount from Rider.
Now he is saying sometimes bolt charges 20% and some other time's bolt charges 25% commission. I know that's impossible and he definitely can't provide evidence of his claim. If I wan dash person money I no go say make him do d impossible na. grin
By the way, Hope u know u can cash out your money anytime from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday. U don't have to wait till Monday next week.

I didn't quote you based on your arguments with the guy. I just dey talk my own.

Moreover I can't cashout now cos I've not used bolt for months and I've not done up to 25 trips since I started recently
