The guy doesn’t know is tyre size, but wants to know the price.
I’m sure Na one butty boy wey dem buy car give.

ksmart027:
I hope your Camry has a low mileage, if yes contact BAZOO1, make him tell you the price.

Mercychen:
The inferior paint on the wall and that table says it all.

I've worked at federal palace and being to Eko hotels and some other ones too and I can tell you when I see a posh hotel.

Another area where Uber beats Bolt is their transparent rating system.
It will be very hard to be yanked off the Uber platform due to low ratings.

I'll suggest you stick to the sole aim of ride sharing which is movement from point A to point B. And be professional about it.

You can also sense a trouble rider from their own ratings and conversation before pick up.
You MUST NOT accept/complete every trip request.

Sadly, Bolt doesn't encourage filtering of trip requests and ultimately leads to a BLOCK.

P.S- Most drivers boost their Bolt ratings fraudulently by dummy requests.

...hahahahaha.....can't stop laughing ó...so this is true.

I took a lady from maplewood estate last Sunday to Eko hotel on a bolt ride. We had a nice conversation and all that. Arrived at her destination, I unlocked central lock. When she was about to disembark from the Vehicle, she said:

Rider: why didn't you plead or request for 5star rating...
Me: (chuckled) ...for what sis? I smiled again
Rider: But other drivers do, they keep begging me..
Me: apologies, not to be seen to be rude or sound arrogant. Can I have a minute of your time.
Rider: Yes you can. (She smiled)
Me: While growing up, we (using the pronoun loosely now) all do pray for our teachers to give us good marks/result, same for common entrance Primary 6, I went further Junior WAEC, WAEC/GCE, JAMB-POLY JAMB, all thru University also....

My Sister (quite older than her though) , At this Juncture, stage of my life....I do not need any individual evaluation to validate my decision(s)...(speaking further) I don't believe the rating is objective enough and its quite un-empirical...

Rider: smiled, hmmm hmmm ..... Nodding her head... I'll like to see you some other time...bye

Me: Enjoy the rest of your day ma'am

Rider: ...And you too

(Door closes)
...Zoomed off to go chill over 1bottle and watching EPL

4-5Hours later...

Phone rings....
Me: (who be this again)
Hello...sorry who is online pls
Rider: oh..I'm (blablabla) you dropped me off at Eko hotel
Me: oh yeah, you forgot something? Hope no problem
Rider: No no no, are you still around? I wouldn't mind if you can come pick me up
Me: Eeyah... I'm already in gbagada...so sorry
Rider: Alright...I'll order for another ride
Me: please do ma'am

(An hour and half gone later)

Phone rings again....rider calling...(now I recognize the number)

Rider: You did not ask me whether I was able to get a ride
Me: (I laughed, how e tey concern me) you'll surely do ma'am.....we do unregistered schedules night and day (I replied jokingly, thinking about antleagues and lazyDLeague for my mind)

Rider: stop calling me ma'am...are you not older than me..
Me: (I'm like hehehe, òmó...house don full ó...àwón èru(slave) oloun tí wà nílè ó, referring to my kids now)
I replied: Ah no...It doesn't matter, its just out of courtesy and its my forte

....To be Cont'd...(hahahahaha)

Quick one, lessons learnt...

Just be your self, don't be at the passengers/rider beck and call to determine your actions/inactions

Your life is not dependent on Bolt/Uber.

Have a plan B, just like what Pastor Adefarasin (house on rock) said sometimes ago...

Your Mental health is Paramount, I repeat your mental health is Paramount. Keep it in check. The fulcrum could be tampered with by "insane riders" , if not well manage . Simply because, you tend to ferry passengers instantaneously and you'll come across them in this sinusoidal manner:
"good-bad-bad-ugly-good-ugly-bad-ugly-good"
At high wavelength....

So a word is enough....

My regards to Oga Felicity.... I just gbàdun dat guy for no reason walai, his write up do crack me up. Logic to full in head...

MoonlightDrive:
I recall back then reading a negative comment on uber, that I was rather quiet during the trip.. .

CheerfulGiver:
Nothing to be worried about, except:

1. Make money
2. Making money
3. Making sure that you're making money
4. Read 1,2,3 again.

IFEBARBIE:
the elderly ones, 97.3fm, local/Moslem, bond fm, Gboys, 98 5fm, 96.9fm, 96.5, corporate, 99.3fm

IFSHR:
If you are very sure of the above....just be yourself and offer the best service you can without enslaving your dignity....your ratings will surely improve....card trips has a high differential, so ensure you don't ignore too much of card trips.

CheerfulGiver:
Dont change anything you're doing... It will regulate itself. To add, don't speak unless spoken to.

IFEBARBIE:
Don't worry bro. It'll definitely come back up. Some people will be intimidated by your car and charisma. I get that alot too. When I'm on bolt I don't say I own my car. I tell them I got it on rent, so they pity me cos they feel I'm beneath them, but on Uber, I'm myself, plus Uber's ratings system is transparent. Your car will be appreciated by Uber riders than bolt riders. These days I don't care about the bolt ratings. You need to also look out for red flags from daughters of jazebel so as to maintain a good star rating

eyinola:
haass u dey open trunck and carry load my seat belt no dey comot for my body ooo never unless na aged person and not a must sef, no be by that dem take they give ratings oooooooo

IFSHR:
The problem is the volume of your AC...sounds funny ABI?.....start putting your AC to almost maximum for one week, report how far ....

Check below......it was 4.5 last week

pocohantas:
Nigeria is hard. The problem might not be you sef. Some people just carry anger dey waka about and any small thing would trigger them. No too think am.

YeyeGbami:
They never tell you?? Baaz low mileage might tell you.

wonder233:
Na lie, that's what you guys all say. The human mind is conditioned to conjure fantasies and project them as reality

BAZ001:
I used to be very vigilant cos I drive mostly in the night till 23:59pm and very early in the morning.
But last friday I picked four guys all high and smelling of smoke. They had already entered before I realized that I let down my guard.
What do I do ?
Na so I begin beg the one in front that I can’t move ooh, that my hands and legs are shaking cos they have bags and 3 men seating behind me. Dt dey just killed one Unilag MSc holder. Bla bla
The leader or bros say : “ma foó, drive “
Me: bros Na night and Na hustle I dey I beg
One of them from the back said: Na sleep we won go sleep no para, we go chup life.

I dropped them at destination and realized how it’s only God that saves us.

Coketols:
Please does this set destination function really work, can anyone attest to it's efficiency.
I have tried it several times but it never works, I always set to Victoria Island in the mornings but it never finds a rider for me from the mainland.

CheerfulGiver:
Same as the trip.

Barbiturate:
How much is this paid waiting per minute on bolt?

donfortune48:
Don't forget the risk associated with late night driving though.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I thought I typed unforseen incidents.

Don't let anybody confuse you. Bolt told you 2100-2700. If he sticks to the map and no unforseen incidents happen, the fare would fall into that range.[/color]

CheerfulGiver:
last month I made 657k after commission. Fuel is 32k weekly or 124k monthly or 4,100 daily. Average hrs for the last 3 months is 11.4 hrs daily.

Change oil and linkages monthly on average
Other expenses is according to how I like. Zero naira on lastma for the past 3 years. Police, I dash them money when I like.

CheerfulGiver:
Bolt until uber is delivered from the demon possessing it.

CheerfulGiver:
The illusion of money and why you need to work your ass off.

Netting 100k weekly in 2018 was worth $277 at 360naira to USD.

Netting 100k weekly September 2021 is $188 at 530 to USD.
