It mite not be brain box. I'm not a mechanic and I'm not trying to dissuade you. Get other rewire and mechanic thoughts on the issue.

Let me share my experience with car repairs two weeks back....... Coming

Bammzzie:
As per drivers ratings, no one knows how far riders can go to rate u low, even if there's another rate worst more than 1 star, riders will use it on we drivers.
Ok I picked a lady around surulere, on our way going my phone keep ringing so I later asked for her permission if I can pick d call and she said yes, she nw asked me if riders doesn't allow drivers to pick calls, I said yes nw especially all this island girls, she nw said some drivers worst o, that they'll keep making long calls while driving Nd riders dare not talk but after d end of d trip they'll give d driver 1star with very bad review.
She also said she first look at my face Wen I reach d PU that I wasn't smiling and that already give a bad impression already before she later knows I'm nice and jovial...
She gisted me about how she show a driver pepper while driving her to her house and d driver said he can't go further cos d road in their area is very bad and his his car is low, she said she told d driver that's not her fault, all drivers knows Nigeria roads are bad, that he shld hv raise his car before he join d platform... After alot of dragging The driver sha manage to go front a little to like 4 houses before her house and because of this she rate d driver so low, reported him, send his num to her friends to report him as well... U can imagine how far she went to block the driver frm his career. I just pity the man, and riders that do this d most are ladies btw 16-25 years (my observation). What I'm saying in essence is that u can't please a rider 100%, jst do ur best and leave the rest.

Yesterday I picked up a rider from platinum road lekki to lekki phase 1, once at the destination he told me not to end the trip that ill tals him back, waited for like 3 mins, and we headed back, trip ended payment is 1k, he was shocked just as I was, he said when he ordered it was 800, that how come he's paying 1k for round trip, I didn't even know what to say, he just gave me 1500.

What could be the cause of that, any ideas?

Pearl1910:
Go to Police HQ near High Court, Ikeja GRA
Price is 10k
U will need medical report for ur eye sight too, some police men on the roads are crazy.
NB: name on Permit and Medical report must match name on car documents.

BAZ001:
Because bolt won’t refund ur money, aggressive riders and drivers dt must collect money.
But what if you have problem with inDriver who will pay you back since they are not collecting commission?

Cheddaz:
You are still on the right track, nothing do you.

Engine was burning oil, the first time I serviced it I used 5w30 synthetic, but before the week ran out it was already at the low guage of the dipstick so I had to keep topping. Next service I switched to 20w50 and it happened to be one of the best decisions i've taken in my life
I was expecting engine to pack up in approx 6 months later but to the glory of God I'm still travelling upandan with that engine.
If my engine doesn't dry oil I would surely use 5w30 synthetic but for this situation? I pass

Crvrider:
In terms of filtering I filter trips like crazy. If there was a challenge about filtering I will probably win that and it is for this reason I don't do uber. I don't have their power.

Imagine coming from skymall late at night and uber was still giving me trips to take me back further in that direction.

For those who do uber strictly, I give you guys hand. Driving uber is like putting a blind fold over my eyes and that s-h-i-t scares me silly.

The max I do on uber is 2trips. Imagine taking a trip request on uber, only for the trip to end at 375naira. In fact the app complained initially that the trip was too short to be billed[my jaw dropped]...had to idle for another 3-5min before the said amount came up.

So for those putting up all this pretty dash board earnings, I wonder how you guys do it? I hope I am not a lazy youth because I can't understand.

Anyways, for now indriver works well for me.

Going by the figures
Egyptian4real's figure is nov-553025
Dec-677030
Total of. =1230055.
Kanuisagoat'figure is 457k + 468k= 925000.
To be continued
UcLloyd = 355600
Myjaydee= 372600
Pearl1910 = 601600 + 601600= 1221100.
From the figure so far.
Egyptian4real has won by close margin with pearl1910

Everybody would never behave civilized, definitely not in Nigeria. Having this in mind, I choose not to put myself in a position where I would be a victim of transferred aggression.

I choose to avoid Bolt (drivers).

Sorry about your experience, Sir.



Thanks mami

toomush:
He was serious about it

pocohantas:
You are very right, Sir. Me sef no like that kind wahala. So I will keep avoiding Bolt (drivers), before them transfer olosho-induced-anger on me.

pocohantas:
I am not asking, I have concluded there is a strong link between Bolt drivers and aggression. I have concluded that they can’t be dealing with that much oloshos and be normal anymore.

His posts confirmed it...

I have avoided them. Uber for life.

Regards

Honestly, these girls can make a dumb man speak in tongue.
I picked one yesterday on a 1.9X trip.
We moved and after few minutes she said she forgot to tell me there's going to be a stop over; that she wants to pick a friend along the way.
I was intensely infuriated but i calmed myself down since she has promised no waiting at all. But the destination was modified on my instruction.
On getting there, she asked me first to check the current fare which i couldn't without ending the trip; 1st red flag!!!
After about 10mins i informed her on phone that am ending the trip in another 5mins. Immediately her friend came out and sat in the car, then i got the message clearly; she was changing her dress and making up for a party!!! CAN YOU FU-FU-FUCKING BELIEVE THAT!!!!!!!
Oh My God i lost control of my composure immediately and ended the trip there. I was shouting at her friend when she appeared and they are now making another request.
I made it clear i wont go further untill she pays the initial trip alas! she complied. I accepted to go for the 2nd trip 'cause the place na Sambiza and also with surge.
Worst still, they were still complaining that bolt fare was getting higher day by day and they wish another app could come to their rescue: me for my mind dey sure say bolt fare no be am at all.... i just fem. Collected my money, reported rider to bolt after 1 star rating.

calabardick:
Please what's this about?

jpworld:
Drivers save 800k in 2 months, yet owner want only additional 5k weekly for 6weeks, not more than 30k, and yet nairaland drivers are crying and complaining.

Anyway na people were no know where to source driver na them i dey pity for this business.
