Hypothesis 1: Let's assume 1.9surge is constant for one month, which means an increase in price and I'd wait for 45mins to get a request.

Hypothesis 2: There's no surge constantly for a month and i dont have to wait for more than 5mins to get a trip.
Which of the hypotheses do you think will benefit drivers more?


Keep in mind that hypothesis 1 will reduce cost of fuel, extend oil change intervals, reduce wear and tear of car.

You are right that some people will leave Bolt/Uber to jump public bus if there's increase in price but some of those people will still come back anytime they need that confort that e hailing gives them and they will squeeze out the money to pay for the service.

Have the warning strike started?
Abi make i enter street?

Felicity001:
Any driver not joining the proposed strike is selling his future and future of his generation to come to riders and the app companies because these are the once on the winning side.

So e pain you
Oga if your drivers don't work you cannot eat, that's why you put the matter for your bald head like traffic hawker

kanuisagoat:
Funny enough, I actually think the fair is fare. Public transport is ridiculously cheap in this country.

What I actually find disturbing is the 20,25% commission.
Those guys driving on uber are the real mvp. For every N5000 they make, uber takes N1250. Can you imagine that.

I'm curious though, do they charge the same 25% commission outside the country?

dru23:
I support the drivers 100% ....the cost of doing business has gone up .. Parts , exchange rate ,fuel etc all has gone up .. Few months ago I had to buy parts for my civic and it was crazy expensive........

If all the drivers can come together has 1 voice and demand that ehalling company increase their fare for the benefits of all the drivers ..

That will be great , but I know Naija people don't like to work together has 1 and sacrifice for the better goods.....

Fare increase is the only thing I support .. Any other demand apart from that the drivers are on their own ..some drivers even demanded health insurance , I think they are bitting more than they can chew on that 1

Pele o class captain. Na common taxi you dey use measure pesin wealth. Have you now seen the level of your sense.

ThatNiccur:
Exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Truth is, at the end of two years or whatever time one makes the capital, the value of the car as at when capital is recouped, would be your profit.

If vehicle is in a good condition, vehicle can be resold maybe at half the price it was bought.

A very good maintenance culture should leave vehicle in top shape.

100k a month should amount to 2.4m in 24 months.

The thinking is that he has not started making profit until he has gotten d capital back, and it will take him two years to make d roughly 2m he will put into d business. I think he is trying to discourage him from spending so much to get a car he wants to use for ehailing

Read about the planned strike here. It starts from Monday 19th

Carlyscales:
The booklet can all not finish at the same time in all locations. There are definitely some1 hoarding some somewhere. But there's a general scarcity of booklets in d country right now.
My contacts in Osun and ibadan confirmed that they received some booklets this week. But because it's not enough, the hausa-fulani guy incharge in ibadan was just insulting and fighting every one that came into his office for passport. He was just feeling too important because of the yeye scarcity.
And was cornering the few for his cronies I believe
Even when it was available everywhere, we still paid for express to get it fast with minimal stress

milanseedorf:
Guys please help me review 2008 hyundia sonata 4 plugs for 1.8m. Direct Belgium. Is it a good car for this hustle

Carlyscales:
What's happening right now is way beyond paying for express or not.

There's just no passport booklets in most immigration offices nation wide right now.

Tojah and Kanu d goat if Baz001 offend una before, una for call me for corner reason em, dis bashing ehn... going on hunger strike on behalf of Baz001

obalala:
Hey guys, anybody free tomorrow for Lagos to Ilorin trip ?

kanuisagoat:


When serious drivers are grinding it out, BAZ001 is either on nairaland or is going home because olosho gave him 1 star. I no know if na for house the rating go increase.

Later he will come and be arguing that a particular amount is not achievable or not sustainable.

frubben:
immediately pipo sight your dashboard eh, dem don start to hail you and call you boss. I just smile and smile lol

peeps4u:
I said it is relative. You may be right if you say it is not achievable, kanuisgoat or anyone is also right if they say it is achievable and they achieve it.

Pearl1910:
Lolz...old habits die hard. One of the things I relax with. Them done free u or u r driving without a licence?

One thing that I just know is that you can not know the accurate temperature of a river until you deep your leg into it. Whatever the temperature is, it affects us in different ways. The same water that you think is very cold might seem warm to me.
Right now, I've not driven for about a year because I got tired of the intricacies of the job. The insults, the extortion by lastma & Co, the traffic, etc. I just got tired & the lock down made me realize how stressful and mentally draining the job had been for me. By the time the lock down was over, I was too mentally lazy to go back to the hustle.
1. Do you love driving? - Driving has to be fun & a hobby to you if you must enjoy the job.
2. Do you ha e the strength for long hour driving?
3. How well can you manage your temper.
4. How well can you handle your own PR?
5. Do you have the mental confidence to manage crisis?
6. How tolerant are you?
7. Are you sure you're physically fit?

The answer to these questions will go a long way to help you determine whether or not you're going to be able to handle the E-Hailing hustle.
The truth is, anyone can survive the hustle if they are really determined to.

peeps4u:
We were all here last year when we doubted Godfather10's Oct/Dec earning challenge, but some drivers proved it was achievable. We also recently doubted a certain earning and kanuisgoat proved he did and was achievable, pearl has also proven.

What anyone can achieve through ehailing is relative and shouldn't be generalised. One man's highest daily earning ever in ehailing is another man's average daily earning.

May God water our grounds wherever we plant our seeds.

Sorry, where u dey stay make I come block u flog ur ass for fifa

hillso7:
Were you arrested on the road (stop and search) or via online?

AOB1:
What am trying to say is that I knew they were not doing e-hailing like you guys, they are engineers but I still need their advice, because they have one or two experience about you guys.
