So here is the reply from bolt.
From the screenshot, it's obvious new drivers are rated by bolt as each rider drops his/her rating. Thus, it doesn't matter whether it's up to 40 completed trips or 40 rated trips so long as a rider rates you the average is computed at that point in time.
But for drivers with more than 40 trips rating will be done using the most recent 40 trips. What is not clear though is if the 40 trips are 40 rated trips or otherwise. But I would want to think it's 40 rated trips.

Baba, you knack am well! Gbam!! The key is 'completed trips'. BAZ001: Bros u sure say you pass mathematics for school or u just wan use style advertise for here?
7 out of 17 trips completed 12 out of 26 trips completed (7+12 = 19). How 19 take be 43. With this ur calculations I dey fear to click ur link make e no be say na wrong figure u dey calculate as interest. |

Yeah, I'm waiting for their reason sha. kanuisagoat: Then it only means that every new driver has a preset 40 trips all with 5 star ratings. So as you drive, your rating adjusts accordingly.
You can contact them for further clarification, this is just my opinion  |

The 'GOAT' aka oga patapata himself. Me I never even reach 40 trips completed talk less of 40 rated trips yet my rating drop. This rating thing get as e be sha. Peace boss! kanuisagoat: I have never seen any response from bolt where they said rating is calculated every 40 rated trip.
What bolt has always maintained is that a drivers rating is an average of his last 40 ratings. If you have any evidence to rhe contrary, I'll like to see it. |

Good morning fam!
I don't think bolt uses last 40 trips for rating drivers.
Here's my case :
I started driving on bolt last Sunday evening and completed 7 trips out of 17. Yesterday being Monday, I completed 12 trips out of 26 given to me. My rating was 5.0 star until I slept last night only to wake this morning and found my rating dropped to 4.75 with just 19 trips altogether. So, how does bolt justify this?
So, I don't think bolt uses this their 40 trips thingy when rating. My observation though!!! |

The Oga himself.... Pearl1910: I don catch u. So once upon a time u Net 15k daily and u r arguing its not possible to make 300k in a month? I tire for u o. From ur experience u should know its very easy to do this and still have rest for ur body and car.
What u should be asking or telling the rest is how to do it, not arguing that its not possible to achieve it consistently.
For me I have three models; Model 1: Monday to Thursday 40k Net Friday and Saturday 30k Net Bonus 10k Sunday, go to church and rest Minimum 80k in a week
Model 2: I Net minimum 20k Tue-Wed 10k/day Rest on Thursday to prepare for weekend work and campaigns. Fri-Sun 45k minimum 15k/day 10k in bonuses. Rest on Monday again from the weekend work. Minimum of 75k in a week,
Model 3: When I need urgent 100k Monday-Thursday 40k Friday - Sunday 45k Bonus 15k
I cant say its not stressful, but its not that I am killing myself to achieve it. There are weeks I sleep all through, or work fewer days, or I have downtime on car repairs sha...but on the average this is my personal work ethic. Work and rest, eat well, give urself break during d day, find a way to motivate yourself. And u will go on, and on and on. Check ur car and do necessary repairs before it deteriorates to bigger damage. I always tell myself, "Its a marathon not a 100meter dash" u live to fight another day. However, its not by power, oluwa is involved...never forget the spiritual side of things.
Honestly personally, I prefer ehailing to any office work that salary and addons is not up to 250k/month. Maybe because I have worked before, but guys that desire office work can still try it. Nothing is cast in stone, its all about personal preference.
Before u say its easy to say this when u r a car owner, let me mention I started this business with rental. |

Who really cares about his negative rants? Bar embassy not opening to public, someone like me would have picked up my family's visas and moved to Brazil. Best to completely ignore the guy and deprive him of the attention he so seeks! TechSpot: I liked your post. Nice reply.
I wish everyone will ignore him and his brother tales though.
He said he likes Mexico but he's not in Mexico thread telling the pros so that everyone will know what he knows so that they can be guided but he will be here with his negative noise.
He talks about learning Portuguese in Brazil then picks Mexico like it's an English country. Funny guy |

It is as it were, nothing yet. Daily infection and death rates are hovering around 50k plus and 1k plus respectively and this is not helping the matter as no lockdown measures are in place in majority of the cities in Brazil. Vaccination drive is also slow and have been suspended in most states for lack of supplies. Raw materials for producing vaccines in-country are yet to be supplied. All these are making it the more difficult to even think the embassy will open for operation anytime soon except something changes drastically in the near future.

Rebecca123: Hello,
Please I will like to confirm if the embassy has started granting visa for childbirth in Brazil. No. The embassy is closed till further notice. And there is no such thing as visa for childbirth or birth visa in Brazil. Also, with people currently there, is it safe to travel down for childbirth this present time due to the COVID-19. No, it is not safe. Covid-19 is ravaging the whole world right now and Brazil is even hit the more as a new variant has been found there. I am just about applying for a birth visa and I want to be enlightened.

Ajokeomo: Yes, I withdraw reas with GTB naira mastercard. Other Nigerian denominated mastercards might work too. The issue with naira mastercards now is the limit. As at 2019 and early 2020, the limit was higher so I could withdraw as much reas as I needed.
With the spending limit, you can limit your naira mastercard to minor POS purchases only while you use your dollar card for major withdrawals.
Also, when you want to use POS and they ask “Debito ou Credito”. You need to respond “Credito” even though our cards have “Debit” written on them. Thank you so much. This information is very handy. |
Travel › Re: Giving Birth In Brazil by centuryman(m): 10:08am On Jan 25, 2021 |
Ajokeomo: You are right, 10% does not apply to withdrawals made at the ATM, GTB however charges for all withdrawal transactions made. I know for naira card, they charge N1,200 for every withdrawal transaction, no charges for POS usage. I’m not sure how much they charge on dollar card.
What I used to do is withdraw the amount I want to use at once to avoid multiple charges. I also use POS a lot, even street vendors have POS (not all). GTB naira to reas rate is usually low, very close to the official rate.
The BDC rate is also not fixed, it differs depending on who you are buying from and also depending on official rate at the time. Are you saying you withdraw reais or even dollars from Brazilian ATMs with a Naira denominated ATM? Is this what you mean? |

slimanyd: Nope. I think10% only applies in a situation when u accept to change it to reas at travelex but you can easily use ur gtb dollar card to make Withdrawals without any charges through the atm. Let's await some more information as regards the best way to manuevre the scenario sha from the profs in brazil. As for western union you can't send money from Nigeria. Again, let's wait for those who have navigated this to kindly guide us. And moreover , Can't one send the fund to a family in naija and the person use western union to send such amount to brazil while the receiver gets same amount of money in cash without issues of exchange rate cheating.

slimanyd: I realised the rate to a dollar over there is around 530/$ from his calculations. I think the best thing to save enough money is simply to get the dollar rate from aboki here and deposit it into your GTB $ dom Account , Thereby, you relieve your self from the extraneous exchange rate to a large extent. In Nigeria, We can still get it through aboki at 460/$ highest, whereas, Using the Brazilian BDC to get same amount will be roughly at 530/$ . Well I guess you still have to change the dollars to reais and the 10% govt. tax will apply. So aside the high rate from the Brazilian BDC, you'd still pay 10% tax. One needs to look for the best solution. Perhaps others who have gone through this particular process could weigh in with practical solution(s). It will be much appreciated. Obrigado. |
