Hello Elders in the game.
Pls what are the options available for a driver with deactivated account?

Uber deactivated account because of high cancellation with no prior warning or retraining.

Guy already had issue with bolt 6 months ago.
Account blocked
Pls advise.

If uber deactivates an account, no reactivation again except you change driver's licence, which is fraud.
He should find means of reactivating bolt. Why was he blocked on bolt?
In the meantime, he should be using Indriver App

I asked for advice here before venturing into this hustle, I got little information. However, I did not want to be ideal just after completing my masters and waiting for my statement of result.

I took the bold step and moved from enugu to Abuja to start bolt while looking for a job. This is my first week on bolt and it was quite good. Thanks to the advice of CheerfulGiverr and the likes. I also did 15k offline and I used 30k fuel. I work from 7am to 2pm and 4pm to 8-9pm

Nice one brother. Deduct fuel and other little expenses incurred while working, then the remaining is your profit

CheerfulGiver:
2008 Camry will consume more fuel. It has a 21mpg rating as against the Prius 50mpg


21mpg with a 18.5 gal capacity tank, a full tank in city driving is worth 21*18.5 = 388miles

Therefore, an average driver doing 1000 miles a week should use 47.65 gallons of fuel a week, or 47.65 x 3.8liters = 181.07 liters of fuel.

181.07 liters x 163 naira per liter is 29,514 naira per week.

Driving a 2008 Camry le on bolt for a combined 48 weeks out of 52 in a year, you spend 48 x 29,514 = 1,416,672 naira on fuel, as against 594,624 on the prius.

On same conditions, a Prius saves you 822,048 on fuel alone in a year. Minus savings on engine service as well..

These are facts.

You're right about the 29500 per week. I buy about 5k daily and I work 6 days in a week. That's about 30k a week for fuel.

CheerfulGiver:
Not possible. Earnings don't change. What changes is what you save from fuel.

Best car for this hustle is the king of fuel saving, the 2010 Toyota Prius.

A Toyota Prius is 50mpg city with a 11.9gal tank or 45liters

full tank in city driving is worth 50*11.9= 595miles

Therefore, an average driver should use 20 gallons of fuel a week, or 20 x 3.8liters = 76 liters of fuel.

76 liters x 163 naira per liter is 12,388 naira per week.

Savings of 23k weekly more than a corolla/matrix/vibe. If I work 48 weeks in a year, car will save me 23 x 48= 1,104,000naira in fuel costs alone.

I have more than enough for repairs.

Car is cheaper than a 2010 corolla.

Can you help do this analysis on 2008 Camry LE? Will it save fuel or consume more fuel

Reubenson3:
Thanks and I really appreciate your view. We're not close, is more of an employment. And for the fact that my vehicle will always be parked in my compound after the day work. I just need a good insight on the percentage to be getting weekly and how it works. Please put me through

Btw 20 to 25k weekly.
For HP: he will pay upfront of say btw 200 to 400. You will prepare agreement, which will contain Penalties for payment failure, how much to pay weekly, the duration of the HP, repairs( he should do all minors and you do major) that's just about it sha

When d map is red...thats surge and when u get a trip in a surge area u will see the surge value as the trip is ringing down. That simply means that d final fare will be normal expected fare multiplied by the surge value.

Open ur Bolt App right now and go online u will see what am talking about

Thanks

CheerfulGiver:
Surge areas are the red to orange areas on your bolt app. They are created when there is a shortage of drivers in that area, compared to riders. 1.1, 1.5, 1.8, 1.9

1 is for normal rates. 1.whatever is the extra percentage on fares.

1.1 is 10% extra
1.9 is 90% extra

If a trip should have been 3k with normal conditions, on a 1.9x ,it would be 5700

Thank you

Pearl1910:
Lolz...na Berger I dey o. God just save me from that Yaba traffic. As Bolt no give better trip inside this surge na it I pick N2,150 Berger to Yaba on Indriver, but my spirit no gree make I go, thank God I cancelled only for me to finally get GRA on 1.8 surge. BOLT is bae

I don't understand the surge thing. I see people post 1.5 surge, now yours is 1.8. I dont see these surge in my bolt. What's it about pls? How do I use it to earn more on bolt. Their fare are too cheap compared to uber

yommie007:
Fresh or renewal?
For how much?

He said; No driving school ish, it means it is fresh. You can't be asked for driving school details if it's renewal

BAZ001:
But em pls dis your description of local airport, “after computer village” Lagos has two local airports after computer village. Mm1 or MM2

You sound like you are new in Lagos?

Lolz. You na cruise man

I no know how best to describe the place and I think say local na local, cos na there I dey go take flight wen I still be man

I was actually born and bred in Lagos. I even speak Yoruba more than my language.

Dailyparrot:
Please do I need to do physical check in after online checking for a flight bound for Owerri from Lagos.

I am assuming that I need to go to MM1 for such local flight via Airpeace.

Someone with idea / experience should help.

Yes, you will do physical check in. You will show your online payment and an identification, then they will issue you your flight pass/tag with seat Number. Your load will be weighed and also tagged and checked in via conveyor. You will pay btw 1 or 2k if the load weight is above the accepted weight. Then you will be at the waiting section till boarding is ready. Bus will take you to the plane.

Don't leave your tags in the plane. They will use it to check your load when going out, after you've picked it from the conveyor.

The airport is the local airport at Ikeja after that computer village side

I hope this helped

Pearl1910:
How did it go Sir

I went to the court inside taskforce office Oshodi. 2 charges. Entering brt corridor and obstructing brt buses. One was freed by the judge and the other, I was asked to pay 30k, after pleading guilty of the charges. I paid and took my car.

If you don't want to face court, then you pay 70k

sunnp:
Got our car ?

Yes o. Thanks

vicdon:
08097009204, send me a message on Whatsapp....

Thank you very much sir. God bless you immensely. I can't thank you enough

Felicity001:
Sorry my man jor no reason am like that... Tunapapa didn't mean to mock you you and many other may have misunderstood him so pls just forget and stay focus okay.

Please how is it going hope you've been able to get your car out.

Yes. Just got it out not quite long.

sunnp:
Have you sort it out yet ?

No.

AgentXxx:
I hope they don’t have picture evidence of you if not, serious case as you will pay the initial money and might face other allegations

.

Nothing of such will happen, by the special grace of God

I don't understand the rift about 200k weekly/monthly or the correlation with my predicament but with the attached earnings, I believe one can make btw 250-400k monthly, if one is diligent and hardworking without any police/lastma/vio/road safety issues. I would have made the same amount or almost yesterday if I hadn't faced the issue I faced.

It's well with everyone. We will be alright.

I'm at their Oshodi office

What a day! I picked someone from passport office Ikoyi to ijaiye(Oko oba estate precisely) and the trip came to 2500. Was so angry at the price, so I decided to go back to Yaba and I choosed yaba area trip destination. As I was going, I drove through the bridge and immediately I came down, I didn't notice I had entered a brt Lane. They stopped me and took me to their office at lamata ketu. They said it's either I pay 70k or face mobile court at Oshodi. I decided to face court, then they gave me a paper. It was already 4:30pm, so I said I'll go tomorrow. My car is parked in their compound. .

What a frustrating day! And to think that I was happy for making 20k yesterday, minus fuel.

This Lagos life is just frustrating I swear!

SHOOPSYN:
You can not review price on Bolt again. Send them mail, give them full details of what happened, add evidence where necessary and you will be compensated fully if you are justified.

Na wa o! Thank you bro. Imagine, I picked two ladies from elf, dropped one around freedom way and dropped the other at Surulere and the trip dey show 3k.

How do I review price if I'm not satisfied with the price after ending trip, on bolt?

This place is more like a caucus! Any new person's comment or question is ignored.

2 different questions at different times and not a single response.

Wish you all well. Out!

Crvrider:
I am on the same page as you. My cars engine is 2.4cyl. 2k fuel gives me about 6k-7k and that's the more reason I use Indriver a lot so I can cherry pick rides, otherwise I will weep like Jesus did in the bible.

Please what do you mean by the bolded?
How does indriver work?

Pros in the house, abeg una no dey get request on Saturdays when rain dey fall for lag?

Go to mandilas Lagos Island

U don't have to do this sis. U can use palmcredit, branch, carbon, fairmoney, Migo, Lydia, etc to borrow money

But with all said; Heineken is still looking for a job, in case any connected person wants to help. He's been here for long a time

alfonso36:
We await your reply Boss

Btw 3m to 3.2m

Heineken:
boss my not believing in God anymore didn't start today o. Bro if you look at this life very meticulously, think well and reason up you gon see that it's possible there's no God. Imagine, few people are living large, so many are suffering and living in abject poverty. See me for instance now bro. I graduated since 2014 o till now no job. Is it that the God up there is sleeping or what? Until when person die?? Even the heaven and hell trash I don't believe anymore. If truly there's God, hyn suppose know Wetin hyn dey do bro. And you know to praise and worship this God if truly hyn dey requires full concentration. How can you pray and worship the God when you're not happy?

Lolz!
I know a man without legs and bad sight, and he's a big boy. He told me if God can take his riches and give him legs, and good sight, he would be happy staying poor.
You have all your body parts intact and you say these things about your creator?

Dangote, Bezos, Adenuga, etc never got their wealth by working for govt. Do you even know if his plans for you are bigger and higher than working for govt? Do you know you can start a biz and thrive well in it? Your star or wealth might not be tied to govt job. Trust your God cos he said he knows his thoughts and plans towards you, to make you prosper!

Heineken, I'm not discouraging you from pushing for govt jobs, but while you do it, try other hustle and always give your God thanks for keeping you alive, Hale and hearty!

I graduated 2006. I've done a lot of tests and Interviews, both govt, MNCs, privates and I passed well, but I have no job now. Though I've worked with some companies too. I recently passed test and interviews at eleganza cosmetics for a managerial position but I was not given the position becos I am Igbo. Chief Razak okoya told me that I am "Omo ibo", and that I don't have the passport.

I still give God the glory because I know he will surely settle me someday! Fear God bro!

Nonyeadamu:
Okay. But why na?

Thatsleepboy1 lives close to mfm so he can help you to make enquires.

Ok, thanks. Thatsleepboy1 pls do help me make enquiries

They will be forgiven and given better lives, after killing innocent souls
