Hello guys. Calvary greetings.
So yesterday, around 5:15am, I accepted a request on InDriver from Iwaya road, yaba to Dolphin estate, Ikoyi.
I was in surulere at the moment the request came in, and I asked the lady if she's ready to move because I will be driving almost 6km to pick her from Surulere.
InDriver's price was #2,000. Got to PU by 5:25am and waited additional 5mins before she came out from one hotel off iwaya road.
Immediately she got In, she said she will be making 2 stops. I declined to continue the trip unless we renegotiate fares. We agreed on #4,000 and journey started.

First we went to Idi-oro/mushin to use a cash point.
She returned back claiming the Teller machine swallowed her debit card. After waiting 20mins plus for the machine to vomit the card, we left without it.
Note: I don't believe the machine swallowed any card.
She made some calls while we continued to the second stop. Asking the receiver to transfer money to my account so she can use my card to withdraw. I refused, telling her I'm not with my debit card.
She asked me for cash so she can give someone at the second stop ( somewhere In onipan), I declined.
After wasting another 10 mins at the second stop we proceeded to her final destination.

On getting to dolphin estate, she made some calls for some guy to come pick her up.
We waited another 20mins or so before this guy showed up in an un-registered Toyota Camry.
She stepped out and joined his car while he came to me to make a transfer.
He typed my details and all checked out then he sent #4,000 or so I thought. Normally, when riders are making transfers I always insist to see your debit alert.
So I was waiting for his, next I saw a credit alert from my bank via mail.
Alas I was relieved and was about leaving when I checked very well only to see that I was credited #400.
In utter shock I called her immediately as they haven't gone that far. I was thinking it was an error, perhaps. So I sent my ac details to her hoping that she will send the balance of #3,600.
Till this very moment it I haven't recieved a dime extra.
I have called and called. She sent a text last night that she will complete the transaction this morning. I called multiple times at noon only for her to say she's sleeping and will call me when she wakes up.
My fellow comrades, i looked up her number on truecaller and "CUSTOMER DEBTOR" popped up.
I have finally concluded she's a hoodlum and should be treated as one.
Kindly treat as urgent.
Her number is xxxxxxxxxxx
I have the names of the account holder that transferred #400 if need be.

I nominate northbird.

Guys avoid FESTAC area. Tanker fell there again today.

That Festac area na offside zone.

This card trip issue is really funny to me. I see it as lack of discipline and planning on the part of the driver.

You get paid weekly so I see no reason why you should not keep money for fuel and other miscellaneous expenses.

I work on Fiverr and it takes 2 weeks after an order has been marked completed for us to get paid.

A job with 30 days delivery will mean that you get paid after 44 days, all things being equal (assuming no revision request and the buyer accepted the job on the day it was delivered).

Now, we have to wait for the funds to accumulate before initiating withdrawal so the money can be tangible.

So, we might have opportunity of withdrawing between 2-3 times in a month depending on how much sales we make daily.

I prefer card trip whenever I am driving on ehailing than cash as there are no issues of change or rider absconding with your money.

Drivers should please learn financial disciple and stop rejecting card trips.

Asking for destination is understandable because of so many factors. One of mine is even not taking a request too far from my house when it's getting late or when I have decided to stop working for the day but just need one more trip closer to my house.

You have spoken well.
I love card payments. Never rejected them. Baffles me when drivers reject them.

I saw this on Instagram.
There are people who use every opportunity to denigrate Uber drivers. Is it too much a task to be about her way and order another ride?
Is it a crime to also ask where a rider is heading ?
I'm not justifying what the driver did by asking for offline but there's no harm in negotiating a deal as this.
Fellas, what do you think?

Bolt drivers and rider express the same level of sanity.
Whatever treatment u get from a bolt driver is what u deserve.
On an Uber trip, my head automatically resets and am cool.
The moment a bolt requests enters, the maniac in me is ready for action. You do anyhow, you see anyhow.

99% of difficult riders, ride with bolt.

Let me tell you what's mathematically possible, but not practically possible.

25k gross per day
Which is 650k gross (before commission) a month; if you work 6days per week/ 26days a month.

Which is 520k net a month (after commission).
Say fuel is 30k per week, 120k a month.

The money comes down to 400k a month.
Remove 35k for food/Data/airtime a month.

It comes to 365k a month.

Again,
To achieve this, you have to work from 5am to 12am, 6days a week/ 26days a month; without visiting the mechanic or spend on any other thing.

Your 400k is theoretically not possible bro, talk less of being practically achievable.

Let him leave London and come and earn 800k between now and December in Lagos.
Doubt I have ever quoted him before.
Always posting offside.

Babadee1900:
Brethren’s let the argument begin

Lol.
I see what you did there.

emmancecute:

It is what it is.

jideflash:
Greetings great people. na so, i ordered a trip on bolt for a friend to go home, forgetting i hadnt changed it to cash trip. Na so the driver still collect 900naira cash from my friend, while my card was charged 800naira. I later called the the guy, he admitted that he made a mistake by collecting the cash, and he we will refund the money via bank transfer to account. i sent him account details. since, each time i message him, he will say he just replaced his phone, that i should resend the details. its been 3weeks now. said excuse yesterday again.

Same here. Didn't wanna reply him. Having a bad day already.

DenreleDave:
I didn't want to talk too..

I guess he didn't read the part where the driver told her to call her bf to update the trip

emmancecute:
sorry bro, some uber/taxify drivers are worst than danfo, keke n okada riders combined.

You can imagine ooo. Someone rammed into me from behind.
I stepped out to assess the damage, another driver scrape the left rear bumper.
Inside traffic ooooooo.

If you are anywhere, Stay put. Nowhere is leading to anywhere right now.

All these impatient drivers inside traffic. Dem don scatter my rear bumper.
Which kind winch b dis ?

Ikate inwards chevron is blocked Pam Pam.
Rider don leave me inside traffic run

eyinola:
Guys I don't know what's happening ooooo but no access to the island from mainland

Anyways, I had to drop off an item @ idimu area this morning. As Early as the cock crow, I set out from surulere.
Got there early (7am), and one winch ministered to me to on my app. Mumu me.

After waiting for over an hour no beep. I blew naked to GRA Ikeja.
Beep enters to gbagada. I picked rider.
Getting to gbagada I see cars turning back at oworonshoki exit to lagos. I scratch my head. What's going on. Another beep enters. Destination-lagos island.
Strong head, I picked rider put head towards oworonshoki exit to lagos. It's now clear, that road blocked. Made u-turn to connect Pedro and link bajulaye - jibowu- eko bridge.
Na 2hours I spend untop eko bridge.
Finally in VI, will shuttle lekki -VI till nightfall.
Demons are having their play-time on the mainland.

Most people I know prefer Uber to bolt, their first call is always Uber and only turn to bolt when there is surge on Uber.
Something funny happened yesterday, I landed in Lagos 8:45pm na so I open app dey try request bolt, INDriver or Uber cos d babe standing next to me called a bolt driver dt she about to pick her luggage but my app shows no driver available on bolt.
I had to resolve to airport taxi na so all of them dey call 7k , 6k day curfew Dey. My bolt app was showing 2,600 - 3200.
If I tell them 3,5k dey will just walk away and it was raining so I had no choice.
This guy complained from airport to my house, with no AC , d guy was still begging me to add extra 500 because some people wey dey avoid army check point block road.
If you see the number of cars and buses on d road you won’t believe there is any curfew.
But I respect army they just block road and stay one corner and people dey pass short cut and burst out on the other side and they didn’t bother us.
In a nutshell E-hailing app favors rider more than drivers when compared to all this cab drivers dt will use complain finish you while paying double

Most of us know this already. That's why I have always maintained that NO RIDER deserves a luxury ride.
Give them basic rides, that's what they pay for.
Any vehicle above 2003 model is luxurious for riders.
QED.

NaijaCr7:
Traffic is becoming fair, reason being some lastma in some less volatile area have resumed duty....Request (Bolt Only) still average, just like the immediate post covid lockdown relaxation period....Hopefully request will pick up coming week.

Thanks for update. Let me warm up.
But how una see the curfew? That 6am kick start can't work for me. Am an early bird (4am things). E get why

Pls guys, what's the situation of things out there?
Is it safe to resume next Monday ?

toomush:
I think drivers using indriver app shouldn't complain about the fare not good enough for the trip. Nah you accept am

End of discussion.

Yesterday, these trips were ended before the riders got to their respective destinations. I was abandoned in traffic twice to wiggle away.
I don't even know what to say about lagos traffic, but I definitely wont be partaking.
Too young to be on painkillers.

dhoncesar:
Good morning all...

Please I want to be a part of this Uber business. I have a 2016corolla which I want to drop for this business. I need someone to put me through on how to go about it...

I want to know how I can get it registered with Uber along with some other informations

Pls get back to me asap..

Abort mission.
If you must invest, 2003 model is ok.
Riders don't deserve luxury for peanuts.

Pls is it safe to return back to the road?
Savings don dey finish

Update:
Speaks for itself
As for me, am doing some minor maintenance.

Bammzzie:
Good morning everyone.... How's work going so far, as for my side, e dry pass anything... haven't seen 1 rider on bolt since early morning shey people didn't come out ni.... Best luck to everyone and may God bless our hustle

People won't be going out frequently until they exhaust their loot and palliatives

northbird:
Chillex, babadee, davit, jaydee, donfortune, gentlelife., pls, how is d island/ Lekki- Ajah corridor.?

Abeg, any updates.

Update:
Things are not the same. Did two trips though.
Several Army check points on lekki-epe causing dense traffic.
Lagos needs time to heal.

Each man for himself, God for us all.

DeBuddingSummer:
Uber and Bolt drivers can sometimes be so stuppid and annoying.

All these calculations you people are here doing up and down... How does it change anything?

How does it increase fare?

lol.

Is there fuel scarcity?

Agberos have taken over mainland, lagos. Mounting roadblocks and obtaining car owners.
Which kind wahala be this

Babadee1900:
....that means the information that has been circulating around is false. I just searched about the CACovid now and found out what they are all about.

Fake news is what's destroying Lagos currently and other parts of the country.
Let me stop here.

Babadee1900:
Last time I refilled it was #3800.

Someone with that guy’s mentality is the one in charge of that warehouse that’s currently been ‘looted’...

That warehouse was housing palliatives donated by CACOVID.
They were repackaged pending distribution.
CA-COVID is private not government.

Total shutdown lurking.
Thugs have ruined lagos state.

UcLloyd:
My bolt app is not working o. Is it only me?

It's only you. Seems your bolt app is obeying governments curfew.
