This right here is one of the reason I say the jobs affect us mentally.

Imagine you a perfect gentleman doing this like hoodlums huh
After she canceled the 2nd time you should have just gone offline for 5mins. Instead of turning round and round and then wait for 5mins, to cancel.
The truth is; whether anybody admits it or not, it affects us mentally.

And yes, I should have gone offline, but I just wanted to serve her back, the way she did to me. I can tell you from her countenance, she was so angry and disappointed. They had to trek down towards Anthony, under the sun, cos I didn't leave immediately, I came down and was watching. I guess they decided to take a bus, which will be more frustrating for them.

I eventually got a request from GT to int. airport and another from airport to Surulere

This mumu girl ordered me from Anthony village. Got to her location. Called her and she said that's not her location. I asked for the exact location, she said GT. I was just trying to reverse back from the street beside zenith, then she cancelled the ride. As I was about to enter the road to go turn round and get down at Anthony inward palmgroove, her order came again. I was in a little traffic on the road to GT. She called and asked where I was, I said in the traffic along Anthony village road. Before I got there, she cancelled again. As I was approaching the bank, the order came again the 3rd time. I got to GT, entered and parked well, then she came out and saw me and then went in to call the 2nd lady she was with. They wasted time....it was almost about 5 mins wait time. They came out and were trying to open the door. I already locked it. Immediately it entered 5 mins, I just cancelled it. They were hitting the car for me to open. I wind the glass down and asked why they were hitting my car, they said they ordered me. I asked her; "ordered who? Pls don't hit my car again". She checked and saw I had cancelled. She hissed and told the other lady; abeg make we dey go!

Yes, we take shit in this biz but there are some I really can't take

Even with that, mechanic will gba you.....
My mechanic wont. If it's 30k, then it shouldn't be above that.

@whatisthetruth: please always collect your money for the service rendered....even if you get free fuel, pls collect your money.

The situation shouldn't have gotten to that extent. For me, I would take them to the gate, so they can get what they want and then take them back to their house and collect my money.

Thank you for your opinion.

In the end, it's just your personal opinion. You are entitled to it.. I'm not bound by it. I'm not swayed by public perception of my online persona. I never have, and I sure won't start now. What me and pearl are doing is to establish a driving app supremacy, which in turn benefits the larger driving public in choosing their driving income app. You really don't have to like it since its really not about you. 2 of us believe we're among the best. It's more like a mancity 's Liverpool thing.

I'm seeing this to the end.

Pearl. Next week is next week. Plan accordingly. Cheers. grin

We die here.
No issues bro. I understand....but all I'm trying to say is that insults shouldn't come in. Do your competition without insults from your supporters.

As a matter of fact, I tried out Indriver all through today. Check attachments. I started around 11am and ended around 7pm. The gross is 19400 as shown below, but the rider I picked first(1500) changed destination to association avenue(ilupeju) and added 1000 to it....that's 2500. So it came to 20400. Their commission was less than 2k. I cancelled a ride from yabatech. Got there and the phone was switched off, and I waited for sometime. In all, I think Indriver is good, in terms of the commission. I know I accepted some few request you wouldn't, but I'd waited for quite some time, so had to join the bandwagon cheesy

sorry bro mail me your details. I'll send you 10% of the bill.
Nice one cheerful. You've done noble. Thanks bro. You're a real hustler and a good man.

This thing with you, pearl and other guys here is really immature. You guys are OG here. Even if I'm older than majority of you, I still respect your hustling spirit. You really motivate me so much even at my age .

You guys don't really need all these unnecessary competition/betting and name calling. I'm not really comfortable with all of this but then, whatever you guys decide! You're matured men! I think the purpose of this thread is to assist each other. Nobody knows it all. Nobody is perfect. I really do not like what you guys have turned this thread into. You're a big time hustler cheerful, just like pearl, bazz, Dru, pope, felicity, Glit, yeye, don, etc. If you think deep, you will understand that all these beef is worthless!

If you guys can put a stop to this and move on, but still give us dubs on how to succeed in this hustle, it will go a long way in assisting a lot of us.

The truth is, I'm really disgusted with all of this.

I won't say anything about this again. I'll just be reading.

Goodnight all.

VIO will arrest him.
They won't. It happened to me. They even sent me sms, that my roadworthiness had expired and I'm still driving, and I'll pay 20k fine. I filled the online form to defend it. I filled that I wasn't driving. I went to renew immediately. When they stopped me at Anthony inward Ikorodu palmgroove. I showed them the new papers and told them I didn't drive when it expired. That I've been going up and down to do inspection and renew the papers. That I started driving when I renewed the papers. They let me go.

I understand you. But I was following my own plan. I don5 make mistakes. I needed to gross 40000 today. That trip took me to 40200. Would have accepted 1700. I'm home now. Left the stage for night crawlers. I'll gross 30k tomorrow
How much fuel did you use to achieve 40,200 a day?

You know what's funny? I don't stay online (on bolt) anytime trip took me to anywhere in akoka.
That place is full of bad roads from one street to another.
Indriver is an angel mehn. smiley
Much respect, boss.
I don't know why they stopped working on the road. We dey manage am like that.
And for akoka streets, I avoid trips there.

I only like Indriver because of the charges. The competition is much!

Road free today. Bad for bolt. No surge.
It's usually like that on Thursdays. I guess it's because of market people. I live off University road, and there's usually traffic on my street, cos you can access Herbert Macaulay from there. It's different on Thursdays..... usually empty in the morning

CheerfulGiver:
So how come with all the calculations, I still make higher than bolt?
I guess it's a mystery no one can really understand. I'm not disputing the fact that you make such huge amount on Indriver, even with the way I see drivers rush to pick rides. Only you know your strategy. Even if you say you make 1 mil a week with Indriver, I still won't dispute. The monies you quote are yours. I can't make 2k and say I make 200k. I'll be deceiving myself.

Anyways, thanks for the replies. I go wait till Friday for bolt. I was suspended for 2 days
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Barbiturate(m): 4:56pm On Aug 03, 2022
CheerfulGiver:
To succeed on indriver you have to avoid fastest finger, and be fast in calculation.

Calculate the distance between where you are, and A. Then calculate the distance between A and B. If it's less than, or within 1 HR, and rider offers a minimum of 3000 - 3500, take the trip.

Drivers also tend to reject trips with lower fares. Any trip btw 1500 and 1800 that can be completed in 30 mins or less is a good trip. If the rider says 1300, they usually accept a counter bid of 1500. Psychology. I've done a 10 min trip for 1k cos no one wanted it. I've also done a 1500 trip in less than 15 mins. I've done a 2700 trip in 30 mins. It's just to study how people think. Quite simple

In all, try to make 3k hourly average and you're fine.

Again, avoid male customers as much as you can. They are identifiable by their name or profile pic. The offer the most useless fares, and they hardly accept your bid. A woman hates to be kept waiting. Offer your price and they usually take, especially those running late for a dick appointment.
Thanks bro, but by the time you calculate all you explained above, they've taken the rides. You will have to wait much longer again. On bolt, no competition.....just drop rider and another request will enter shapshap

Well I'm contesting it so waiting for their response for over 24hrs now. I mean why such inefficiency..
They will not respond. Just go and renew your papers. For road worthiness, you will do car inspection. Go to their Gbagada office. They also do car license and insurance

You don't go to the Mainland from the Island through Apongbon Bridge bro.
You can, actually. It's just the traffic and I was testing to see how the traffic would be compared to 3MB.
Moreover, the point is the amount at the end of the trip. Even if I had taken 3MB, Bolt will still not give 3400 from Lekki phase 2(kusenla) to adelabu

lanrexdo:
The truth is. Indriver is just a crazy app. People they pick nonesense for that app but if youu look into it then you will realize that is same thing bolt would offer at the end of the trip.
It is not the same thing. For instance I was at Lekki phase 2 yesterday, looking for destination trip to Yaba. I parked for long and no one came so I decided to try indriver. I saw one going to Adelabu Surulere....she quoted 2500 but then I saw 3000, 3400 and 3600 or so. I clicked the 3400. Now the traffic I encountered was massive.....very massive. I was running away from 3MB traffic so I took that apongbon via marina. The journey was more than 2 hours. Even without surge, Bolt will never give you that terrible amount. The only good thing about indriver is the commission they charge. Nothing more. No paid waiting. Riders would waste your time!
