Hmmm great, So that's 20,300 net after fuel and commissions.

No. You only deducted fuel of 10k. Take home is about 16k plus

10k fuel.

On Indrive, negotiated 6k with the guy and he agreed.

Total cash at hand 30,300. Bolt gave bonus to riders.

Though I still have chinkini fuel to make about 3k.

I use 2009 Toyota Camry

Omoapena:
What was the starting date again?

Starting date or overall duration? It's about a week or so

Indrive is doing 30 trips for 10k. That's better than 50 trips

Omoapena:
Those are conditional bonuses but this 50k bonus which is divided into 10k every week has no condition.

Whether you decline or cancel, it won't affect it, just finish 50 trips in 7 days and you will have the 10k

10k bonus is small for 50 trips. They said it's a fuel subsidy program, so the trips to cover shouldn't be that much. If they want it that much then the bonus should come up.

Moreover, other bonuses are somewhat fake.....the completion rate will never get you to 60% even if you complete all trips

My own concern now is that..........sooo yeye is batified!

Aruu

@Glit, why this your app dey let riders reduce price like this? Dem say 4600, the guy reduce am to 3800. If you click 4600, he will decline.

Omoapena:
People dey order business?

I no know.....I just dey work

Pearl1910:
Yes boss, u be big boy. Na we wey dey drive 1999 car dem dey give option for Economy

You wey get fleet of cars

E sure me say na you be the biggest boy for this thread

dav1002:
But you rush tick business option
How many business rides have you taken so far my gee

😂

Walai, I no tick anything. I just dey work. Na as Uche talk am, I quickly go check....make I dey sure

Pearl1910:
2. Launch your Bolt App, Click the car logo, untick Economy. That's all.

I no see economy to untick. Hope I'm good to go

Pearl1910:
Safety first. Even if u no fear agbero, what about lastma and the rest.
My default state is never stop on d main road/express.

At times, things happen beyond control and you won't have street option!
My battery once failed me at Ketu......never showed sign before. Car stopped abruptly on the main road at Ketu inward ojota.
These agberos collected 7k from me. Meanwhile, a police man and a lastma official were there and did nothing. I tried talking to the police man but he ignored me.

Omoapena:
There was no option except I want to spoil the tyre completely

Filling station in front of that Nicon

Baker77:
Traffic on Eko bridge still heavy..use iddo as advised..

Even iddo had serious traffic! Left landmark around 5pm, got to Hughes around 7:05pm. Didn't face traffic till I got to iddo. Infact from on top the bridge descending.

And I don't know if bolt don't read well again in traffic. About 2 hours journey, surge 1.3 or so, 7600, promo 1200.... passenger paid 6400.

@Glit, you still don't know indrive completely. I stopped using indrive fully when they charged me for a trip I didn't embark on. I didn't call the person. I only chatted. She cancelled and I was charged 400. That was the day I stopped using it fully. I use bolt now. I only use indrive if I am looking for a destination trip home. That indrive is a nonsense app. Those guys are thieves! Moreover, the way fastest fingers rush to pick rides is something I can't cope with anymore.....and sometimes they pick nonsense!

In bolt, request comes to you and the prices are better than that of indrive. That 4k trip showed btw 5500 to 7k on bolt.

GeneralZodd:
Ask for help, if you need help, I can hold you by hand and show you how to get a good deal at Parallel market.

Sorry bro, how much did you get the good deal?

MrReeseG:
Bolt dey craze?
Where that 1,100 go come from?
Them go comot am from their commission?

Trip wey delay me like craze... 3,500. Wey I don dey imagine 5k

This thing dey annoy me gan!

Glithronix:
Na dem.
That gender na something else.

Men self dey do am.

Pearl1910:
Yup.

Hint: before u cancel, flash d person using In-app call, then send In-app message. Just type anything or pick one of the ready-made responses.
This is Just to show u established contact with the Rider then cancel with "Rider requested cancel"

Really? Without driving to the PU and waiting 5 mins?

Pearl1910:
What God cannot do does not exist

Asper Driver score, when u see a trip u know u will not fulfil, no point picking it. Just decline or ignore till it rings out.
Then when ur acceptance rate starts to go too low, before it reaches 50, u start accepting and cancelling.
This way, u maintain both parameters above the threshold.

I don't get! You accept and cancel same request U accepted? As in, accept then cancel immediately

Glithronix:
Theriously?
Now, it is making sense.

Yeah, picked someone at Spar. No traffic

Yaba bridge is opened.

Omoapena be careful with the acceptance rate. If it gets to 50, accept the trips that comes till you build it up again to like 70, then you can begin to choose the ones you want and the ones you don't. I was around 70 before. I'll boost it up tomorrow.

Meanwhile from GRA to ilupeju is about 10 mins, if there's no traffic....so you should have accepted considering your acceptance rate score.

Well said Themoderator and omoapena.

I said the hustle for me is just to put food on the table and take care of some LITTLE family needs. I've said this a long time ago. The hustle is not to hammer. I don't know why pearl has decided to bring this up again. If the hustle is making you hammer, then good for you. This is my own reality! I also fix one or 2 things in the car.

The hustle isn't like before anymore!

Omoapena:
Una dey get closing time for this work?

Yes, me get closing time. I can't be working like jaky at my age. Wealth wey I no make btw 25 to 40 years(when I was strong and worked hard in my 9-5) Shey na now I go come make am?

My body no fit do that hardwork again. I also need to go home to my young family....Not going home when they must have slept.

Moreover, it's also for security reasons. Night work is dangerous! I've been sounding it a long time ago.

Jaysharp:
Okay thank you so much, did you drive all day to earn the 26k, 30k... or few hours drive?

I leave home around 10/11am. Sometimes I even start by 12 noon and I close around 7pm.

Djkayzee231:
Good Evening Everyone please I have an issue, I got a car on Hp August 2021, so this Year July the car engine knocked… so I wanted to ring it but the owner of the car said he wants to get new engine… I was like okay no problem since I can’t afford new engine… So he towed the car from my mechanic place… long story short after he repaired the car he as refused to give me d car unless I look for 800k that he said he used to repair the car…. I have begged and begged he as refused to drop the car… I don’t know what else to do please help me guys

I'm sorry to ask....cos this isn't the solution/answer to your question, but it will lead to my advice for you! How will you be driving a car till the engine knocked? You don't check oil or what? Do you just wake up in the morning, start car and move?

Jaysharp:
Hello everyone,
Pls is anyone still in bolt business, I'll like to know if it's still profitable or increase in fuel has scatter everything. Been a while off the business and I'm thinking of coming back.

Thanks for your kind response.

Just a bit. I buy 10k fuel and make 30k somedays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I make 26k. At times on Thursday too. Mondays, Friday's and Saturdays are higher. Remove 10k fuel and 20% commission, then U know how much left.

emmychib:
Okay
Thanks.
Let me wait for the contribution of the big ogas

Get corolla bro.....very good Naija used! Tokunbo is very expensive now

Glithronix:
And to think it's projected for 6 months is another nightmare.

Much respect, boss.

Eko bridge/Apogbon will not be closed. It is just to know when(what time) to use it, so U don't enter so much traffic. For me, I leave around 10/11am from around sabo and put destination to lekki phase 2/3. Then work around there till 2pm, then look for trip back to mainland(Yaba, Surulere, somolu etc) then continue working around there till I close. With this, I avoid much traffic.

Pope hfar? Not heard from you for sometime now. Hope you're fine!
