Pearl1910:
That's a fact... especially if the Benz is converted

Please tell this to one zugumu craze otodo komo that is wondering where in Nigeria one can do ordinary 120-140km/h

Felicity001 and komodapson on this table
This early morning

geezyk:
It's definitely true bro, base fare of any trip, irregardless of distance is 600, bit add the said 5% commission its suppose to give you a total of atleast 635, but its a lie, the minimum trip still remains 600. The driver bears the 5% cost eventually.

Bro pearl1910 will not agree until he sees pictorial proofs, I ve seen two from my earnings but I don’t have strength now.
After calculating distance(km), time and paid waiting + 20 naira service fee... Abeg where did they add 3% ?

According to our uche we will continue to avoid 600 trips so as not to feel pained when bolt takes 25%

sbot:
This is not true.

I think Bolt takes that off the customers, not drivers or so.

My point is: some people here condemn the business vehemently but same people goes behind hitting the road as early as possible.
If they’re not exposed, they wouldn’t tell you they’ve got some side hustles.

The fact that you said some have ported to indriver shows people would always find their way around situations as indriver is also an ehailing app.

The business isn’t as bad as some persons paint it here. Someone here shared their strategy of 8 - 5pm or thereabouts and still making something reasonable.

Nairaland isn’t real life sometimes. No job is that easy.

Let’s keep pushing the hopes alive.

Cheers!

We know the some people
Continue...

Lol, virtually every business had massive sales November/December, everyone knows it's the period when goods and services are at higher demands. FYI, the surge on bolt came towards the xmas week, and peaked on new years eve when people were reportedly seeing 3X surges.

I put it to you that the high commission is what's actually pissing out most drivers, 600 is the minimum price for any trip, but now bolt has increased its commission to 25.4% albeit not officially, we're told the 5% increase is on the riders which is actually a lie. 600 trip still stays at 600, which is supposed to be like 635 or thereabouts, which isn't so, and recently it seems the fare has been reduced also.

Many drivers are now flocking to indriver as it pays them cos of reduced commission.

God bless you.
I noticed it this morning they deducted 24.5%
If I talk they will say we are complaining, bolt stylishly increased there commissions

The only difference btw bolt and Uber is the destination on bolt.

Hopefully our uche will proof us wrong

pope191:
See person wey deh inside house this platform nah cruise finally. Follow mouth and get lost.

Pope bia mind yourself ooh.

I dey house already. I Just realized my vehicle insurance don expire thanks to Uber and I no want make VIO use me chup. Bolt no even get time to alert you if you paper expires

mejai:



Coming to police matter, I have been stranded at umunya axis, anambra state, around 11pm with 2 bad tyres. I was heading to awka from Lagos. To my surprise, the came with their Hilux and assisted me in changing one tyre with spare. They claimed cult boys were deadly at that spot (2012), that we(with a family) must leave there.
I told them I can't manage the car to awka. They offered to take me to their station, parked the car( the tyres were already gone by now, I just drove it like that). Everyone with me entered their Hilux while one officer joined me in my car. We got to their station, they told us to take all we needed to take and still drove us down to my destination at Awka. I was speechless. I arrived around 1/2 am.

Later in the morning, I brought two new tyres and went to their station and paid homage to them. I also invited Dem to come around cos it was Xmas period, which they did after some days.

Good ones dey.

What is the job of police man ?
Is it not to protect citizens?
Now I understand your points because we are not used to them doing their job we are saying they are good.

Some families will never ever forgive or forget police for conniving with kidnappers or robbers to attack them.

If you miss you road and take a turn twice abroad a police car will show and take you to your destination.

Let’s stop appreciating mediocrities.
LGA chairman will do one road in 4yrs we will say he’s trying.

Winter dey bite me for body make una lemme oooh

mejai:
More police is ur friend experience....... I am enjoying it.
They still get reasonable and good cops though.

I can’t believe my eyes ?
Just now we were all shouting
Endsars
End police brutality
But ehailing drivers says police is ur friend.
E be like say winter don dey affect our thought pattern or Lastma don too show us pepper in Lagos.

komodapson:
Naso Barbie... You've learnt one or two lesson be that...Oga Felicity dey carry himself and in client go sleep police station , him no dey send...all 'cos of injustice. Some of us can't withstand it and it exudes in our DNA.

Other than one Uche, who knows nothing than to be driving round in circles all around Lagos hoping to be Elon Musk someday through driving

You are talking to our uche on this thread ?
We don conclude for our mind

But my question is dis
did “felicity001 ever sleep in police cell with rider ?

OmegaAutos:
You must be far from been a social person ,the term "omo igbo" isnt abusive word. Its only used to describe people from the east and i think/know its not bad. You can only judge someone as ethnic bigot by their actions.
Its even worse the way the Igbos describe people from other tribes for instance they describe the Yorubas as "ofe nmanu" oily soup and average yoruba man will just laugh it off, but do same to the igbos, hell will be let loose.

Oga be calming down, i schooled in Owerri and i know reasons we dont have people from other parts of the country in abundance in the east.
The man may be wrong in his approach and may have his reasons for preffering someone from SW for the post , its his company. I had similar experience with an Igbo man and i didnt feel bad based on his choice of who works with him.

Dis ur first sentence “ o ja mi là ra jè”
You no see d moniker you dey quote ?
Ahn Ahn e bite me for body.
Let me just clap for your submission cos tribes has been causing problems in Nigeria since 1960”

Just like someone calling me
nigga in yankee
Or
are you my bolt driver? and I will get angry
‘wetin I be ‘?
No I’m not a driver ooh cos it’s my car, just driving as side hustle

Every Saturday morning I start by 4:30/5am

The elders taught me to maximize profit in dis hustle.
I must work like ant from Friday night to sunday night. No sleep no break. So I don’t joke with friday night and Saturday from 4:30am to 7am Na easy money road free and club peeps/olosho need to get home before day break.

But today nobody gree go club

Pearl1910:

Stop complaining, drivers are still delivering 30k others are still paying for their HP.

I know u r big men. Just go n chill in ur regular spot.

Add us to whatsapp group .... u run us street
Telegram group no go area cos of credential
How else do we learn ?

I had to go to chevron under tree to meet elders and anywhere I see flocks of Corolla I go there to ask questions. If not I would have not earned shi shi driving with my low mileage Camry.

Probably drivers paying owners from their savings in December

Barbiturate:

Don't let anybody deceive you, the hustle no pay for now!

IFSHR:

We are only stating the obvious and reality of the hustle.

January is for vacation
How rentals and HP dey cope ?

This winter is real even Saturday morning no tomatoes? Friday night too no surge
I’m beginning to believe it’s bolt that tweek dis surge and not demand and supply.

Barbiturate:
I'm still regretting coming back now. I would have just stayed till January ending. I went out yesterday to hustle for the first time this year and I also worked today, and the money for the 2 days is not up to 20k gross. No surge at all. I just dey get 1k trip upandan! Though I left home around 1pm yesterday and today I left around 11am!

I'll have to rest tomorrow and see how Friday will be!

I can’t remember the last time i took a surge-less trip.
I did a trip from ikoyi to alpha beach yesterday to reposition cos there was surge in lekki phase 2.
Trip ended 1,300 rider and girlfriend shout that was cheap. I continued surge trips within lekki until, I got a long trip to ikeja from ikeja I got a trip to jibowu... gbam 700 bolt added 200. I just off app. There is no point driving without surge.

I no wan blow empty from island to mainland dis night. So I set destination trip no request at all. I removed destination one Jennifer trip entered to lekki phase 2. Two minutes away.
For where I continue watching ball she canceled and I off app. After 15mins I on app same Jennifer trip again
I kid not her trip came 3rd time after few minutes and she was calling all a long, Meaning no driver was ready to go. I had to help her cancel.

UCHE will soon come and be moving Lagos cos most drivers will be doing offline trips or sleep for house
