On Bolt that's not a problem. Cos u aren't the one paying for the traffic. I still did a trip today from marina to ketu 9k, Maryland to Opebi 2,400 etc. One of the many reasons I stick with Bolt even with the 25% commission. One can easily meet his target even during winter on Bolt, so truly I see no reason I will go n be fasting and praying to make trips on Indrive and Rida.
What u guys should do is find a way around the Driver Score thing and u will just be using Indrive as backup

Pearl1910:
He is trying to say if it was Indrive, Rider will be quoting 2k and u will think it's okay since the distance isn't long, only to end up spending 2hrs plus on a 2k trip.

HonourablePomk:
Indrive isn’t making sense anymore. Rida is the worst with that their sound I soo much dislike. Indrive map isn’t accurate anymore this days and the prices are somehow. I think the oga is just bolt. I did ShopRite Ikeja to Ogba yesterday with surge and traffic total was 5,500 naira. With that trip indrive will put like highest 2k and one driver will pick it. That was a distance of 2 hours 30 minutes yesterday. The weekend is here just watch indrive I noticed there’s a lot of indrive drivers on weekends who pick anyhow amount. It’s just because I don’t have the mind to drive in express now I would have been using only bolt

Omo no be small thing o this rida can be very very frustrating imagine someone offering to pay his fellow human this peanut to use his car and find you and carry you to your location and worst of it some will still be complaining if there is no AC… how about car maintenance how about drivers feeding and welfare who chatters a full car on this earth with just #600 c’mon this is getting out of hand. Abi na car wey person dey comot millions take buy to come de collect #600 and #1k for hot afternoon wey car self need to rest🤦‍♂️
Ah ah car trip #600 how much is a liter of fuel almost #250 this is very very very ridiculous and I think I will leave this rubbish rida app soon. Wtf even bike self no go carry you #600 for this kind trip talkless of keke even if he is your friend… this rida app owners are internationally exploiting drivers to attract more riders to their platform at the expense of we drivers imagine only 3days ago I had to change 3tires and starter fuse costing almost #35k hmmm Nawa o if una know who get this crap rida app better tell am make he no collect very soon. Walai I prefer mainland to this useless island wey be like ghost town. With heartless riders

Imagine 2days ago I did only 3 early morning trips with a tank of 2k fuel on Mercedes v6engine and I had enough recovery almost 10k and these three trips started around 6 and before 8.30 I don finish 3 nice and smooth trips… omo Bleep island 100 times for me.

pope191:
Mine is like 8k in total... but 2 of the riders seem understanding and we can both work it out if it doesn't drop. They have sent receipt, while one still calls to know how far.

pope191:
As in 3 pending on palmpay. The thing they give me headache.

MoonlightDrive:
This your post was laced with so much anger I empathise with your pain, it is a reality a lot of drivers experience on this hustle... in a way it is the Femi Martins of this world that may accelerate you towards your plan B!
Please on the crazy lagos roads you must keep your feelings in check, I believe your reaction is a build up from other negative incidents with other riders and the present realities of the hustle..
I may be wrong thou... if you are feeling extreme pressure, 1 week break will surely do you a whole lot of good.

HonourablePomk:
Thanks for the advice. I’m familiar with alagbole as I’ve taken riders there before. I dislike bolt soo much because of the 25% commission that’s why I rarely use bolt. My driver score is 76% now there and will only use it when I’m ready to take any trip. Indrive gives the advantage of choosing where you want to go to. Bolt doesn’t care about anything that’s why I don’t use them. My experience yesterday taught me and I’ve learned from there

ReadaDream:
It's so bad bro. I've been working more on Uber now and enjoying their 5% comm.

Indrive and it's rider are moving mad.

pope191:
Nah so

With what I saw yesterday online and everywhere... nothing will make me pick Yoruba rider again.

Glithronix:
Ahhhh, a whole legend
6k fuel to gross 20k ké?
Na Venza you dey use?
Indrive, Bolt or rida?
If I buy 6k fuel, 30k sure bajé and na only weekends I fit buy 6k fuel.

Glithronix:
Baba, no reason my matter ooh. Me wey I no know wetin I dey yarn.
Anything I post here na from my own personal and personal experience oh
Na wetin me I dey do I dey post here.
Much respect, boss.

ReadaDream:
Except you are using a 1.3L engine Suzuki Suppressor, 10L (#1850) fuel won't gross 10k.

Dailyparrot:
The secret now is to use all the apps you can lay your hands on.

For me, I prefer Rida over Indriver. The probability of getting a trip on Rida is higher than that of Indriver. Also on Rida, you can increase the price reasonably. On indriver, even the highest price available can be ridiculously low for the trip.

Just that, sometimes, the Rida app will malfunction like the screenshot below.

For those complaining about not getting request on Bolt for hours. I've noticed something about Bolt algorithm.

If you are parked at a particular place, you can stay there till 6 hours without getting any request.

Not because people around are not booking, but simply because you are static. Try to move around a bit and see the request come in.

This is my observation about Bolt recently

Welz:
my uber app was on for 6 hours today and no single trip came in.

garfield1:
Lp and pdp won't see 25%

Divit:
Lmfao 😂
I like how this idiotically stupid obidients are consoling themselves with made up news and results.
Kudos to y’all, na una gan gan be the clown of this event afterall

Trulydude:
APC is Coming!!!
TARABA IS APC, ASIWAJU IS COMING!!!

YeyeGbami:
Na where dem first shoot themselves in the foot be that. tbh bolt app was the most convenient to use back then.

xana101:
I never believe Bolt will be so stubborn not to reduce their 25% commission. Immediately indrives and d rest came in, bolt would have reduced commission from 25% to 10 or 15% and stop this there bonus here and there.

BAZ001:
My people how una dey cope with this
Cashless Nigeria, Fuel scarcity , traffic in Lagos and election week
I keep wondering how you guys are coping driving up and down Lagos in the midst of all this?
Please stay safe and chup the millions you made during Christmas peacefully and don’t drive this week(end).


May God keep us all.

Street is not smilling...times are harsh and everybody is looking to chew the other person. So trust no one.
Collect your money there and then, no postponment, no adjournment, no deferment.
Imagine someone paying 120k daily for apartment and he doesn't want to pay u ur 5k.
Am sure u will never agree for someone to tell u "drop ur account I will do it later".
Experience they say is d best teacher.

As for me, if u like wear suit, or Rev Collar or Imam Headgear if it's an amount I can't forfeit, u r paying me my money instantly.
I always ask them if u go to d market to buy something, can u tell the seller to give u account number that u will transfer later? One of the reasons Indrive is good, halfway into d journey I ask are you giving me cash? If they say no it's transfer, I say pls start doing it now, let me get it before we arrive so that we don't waste time waiting to confirm payment.
U have experienced it now and drop ur tales, someone will read this and still allow rider to scam him tomorrow.
