Abeg, why is it that when you have a rider and tag alongs, na the tag alongs de always complain and not the person paying for the ride. Na dem go ask oga why are you passing here, why are you driving like this, why is the fare so and so when road was free, was there surge??

So this lady requested for her husband, he comes out, sits in front and tells me to wait someone else is joining us. Ok.
Two other men join. Isaac John to 1004, map says turn left at Maryland-ojota-alapere... Maryland-Anthony-Gbagada is 7 minutes slower. I go with the map.

Dudes at the back start grumbling in Yoruba about the route, long journey bla bla bla. Talmbout the trick drivers use, taking the longer route to inflate the fare. We get to obalende, dem de direct up and down, pass here, press horn, you no get horn? (I only use my horn when I absolutely have to). All through I and the owner of the trip don't utter a word till they got off at obalende. That's when the man spoke, talked about how people behave, selfish and all. Na so we gist till 1004, told him I enjoyed talking and he said he wished we meet again, dropped small change.

Now I could easily have responded to those guys, but to what end. As far as contracts go, I had no business with them and their opinions, thoughts and utterances meant absolutely nothing to me.
They probably thought because they were speaking Yoruba I didn't know what they were saying but I understood everything and was tempted to respond in their language.
I always find it foolish when people assume the driver doesn't understand the language, especially Yoruba... Inside Lagos??

Guy, so how were you able to resolve your Ac issues, did your get the automatic or the manual ?

CheerfulGiver:
It's called preventive measures. If I notice there will be issues, why would I proceed? She wasn't courteous or anything. If she had even admitted, but asked me to collect the 2k based on her age, I will. What I'll never accept is you conditioning my mind in advance, and emotionally blackmailing me with age bullshit_. Doesn't work on me. And yes, they are the most troublesome. Why requesting a trip when you have no money? Am I running a charity? I even told her I don't set the price, but the app does, and she's telling me that's not her business all she'll pay is 2k.

Before it will bring quarrel, take your stuff, and geddifuck.

Just this morning, on a 1.4x I was almost at rider's location, she called the second time and said where are you? Told her I was close, that the road was bad she should calm down I'll soon be there. The idiot replied me and said I should not tell her to be calm, that I should have gotten there by now that even if the road is bad, it shouldn't prevent me to have gotten there. I didnt even let her finish talking, I told her this is a bad sign, ended the call and cancelled. No regrets. Just don't care.

BAZ001:
Guys I thought bolt said they would do 100% refunds ?
Two guys are trying to scam me, let me sound like that Drivers license guy that was scammed and still saying the scammer is genuine.
Took a package from a guy to his friend.
I have both numbers, one claims he will pay if the other doesn’t pay. Both not picking again
So I reported to bolt?

But see bolts reply, I don’t understand.

1. We would request you to always ensure that you collected the fare after the trip. ?

How?
..... i should fight rider, cause a scene or bring out my phone and record it

2. We would request you to wait for 7 days for the rider to make the payment and kindly let us know if the rider has not paid yet the outstanding fare in 7 days.
..... 7days ? I always forget to remind you in 7 days.

What happened to the 100% refund?
Na to dey fight dey go

Felicity001:
Your mumu too much... You're not smart at all.

Simply go on the trip, and the ride and report "rider paid less" you'll be refunded. Simple! I.diotic sombory. I pray to carry your mama one day then kick her Stu.pid asx out for calling me my son then see how painful it is to you.

Treat old and elderly people with respect and pride unless you don't pray to grow old.

Fufu... anuofa! Tufiaka.

I politely asked a middle-aged grandmother to get the fuck_ out of my car today for trying to play on my intelligence. How can you request a trip from Lagos Island to Mile 2 bustop, and be telling me the trip will be Patapata 2k, and that you won't pay more than 2k regardless of what the app shows? I refused and told her I'll collect whatever comes up after I end trip. She said she knows, but that as a brother she's telling me in advance to avoid problems, that they told her it was between 1800 and 2k.... Who the fuck_ exactly, is they? And how on God's green earth am I in any way, shape or form related to this woman and what was it she saw in me that suggested to her that I'm running a family business cum charity organization with my fuel and car or that I'm swayed by sentiments such as "my son" or "my brother?"

I told her point blank with a smiley face, to tell whoever requested the trip to use indriver, hopefully, pope191 could be around the corner to come to her rescue but as long as she's insisting on paying a flat rate of 2k, my interest in embarking on that trip was as flaccid as a "5 letter word" after "7 letter word".

I cancelled trip and opened the boot for them to get her stuff out. I prayed to make 40k before leaving home. That would have been my second trip of the day so it was too early for such nonsense.

truthsayer009:
Please i have a question regarding Bolt drivers because i am so fed up with them.

- Why would a driver accept a request & switch off their phone.

- Some will accept your request and set "Driver has arrived" and then refuse to pick their calls or respond.

WHY? WHY?

I mean if a driver isn't going my way, all he needs is for him/her to tell me and I will cancel.

Is Bolt forcing drivers to accept rides or what?

FuckEveryday:
In fact I stand with what Cheerfulgiver said yesterday...Sum drivers are very dumb.
I just heard one followed rider into her house...watin u dey find? If anything happens wat will u tell bolt?

Wen I see the ones that even drive into riders compound to drop them I try to understand what they were thinking before taking such action. What happened to insisting you don't drive into peoples compound? Some don't even have the guts to tell riders to come down Wen dey don't feel comfortable! Watin dey do Una sef

As much as our lives are all in God's hand, Don't give one hand to the devil and expect miracles like in the Bible ..this is 2021 and this is NIGERIA!

Mskrisx:
Good evening. When I went to buy this car, I went with a mechanic and he told me all is good. Same him is fixing my car now. Please any mechanic suggestion? As I am currently in lagos.

If you ask me, English language is the most difficult course to study in the university.

If you are not creative and a voracious reader, don't even bother..

I doubt if uniben have ever had a first class student from that department..

CheerfulGiver:
It's usually the main reason. To please onlookers because some of them can't really afford to use bolt all day. So the day they manage to use it, the whole street must know. Think of it like the mentality behind the "I pass my neighbor" generator. If only one neighbor owns that shit_ box, he is king.

So after dressing and making up, you made her pull the door handle more than twice, made her knock kpor kpor kpor on the window, and then you made her pass an examination, before letting her in. Do you know the many times she felt like entering the ground?

Kicking a rude arse out is a rewarding feeling especially if your car is clean and you look clean and polished. I always position myself to not being at fault in case street people gather.

VaselineCrew:
See review one woman left for me on inDriver, na wa

I didn’t even speak throughout the whole short trip besides asking her how her day was going and wishing her a wonderful day.

The music volume was on 20 out of a maximum of 60 and she never complained that the music was loud cause I would have turned it down immediately.


Let me tell you guys what the problem was, I did not let her into my car until she had verified her name.

When I first got to the pickup, she was trying to open my door, which was locked. So I asked her through the window for her name and she started shouting right there that that’s not how its done, that I’m supposed to let her in my car first before asking for her name, na wa.

I just weak at some people men. Is that how you let a stranger in your house and then ask for name later?

I just don’t understand some humans men. I explained to her that it was for security reasons, yet she was still shouting, and I never shouted back.

See how she now left a wicked review for someone. Some people are just wicked sha

See her English sef, “worst rude ever”, chai

Bimffo:
Great and expected move.

All southern states should take this lane too.

Because Why would the VAT paid on Beer and every alcoholic drink be given to sharia states?

I don't understand.

We need true federalism. Let every state and region manage what they have. We don't need the federal government to share for us.

vicdon:
To the young man whose friend is at the station, kindly reach out to me with the name of the Ipo on the case, also reach out to your friend to send details of the trip as well as his phone number and email address, so we can take it up with bolt as well as getting a competent lawyer for him.... Igando policemen are people you dont ever want to meet on a bad or on a good day....

tunlapapa:
The third option looks tricky.
I translated it to be 30% of trip fare but you must complete the conditions before entitled to it.

Or is the 30% bonus coming from somewhere else?

CheerfulGiver:
Yup. Another banger from bolt, sending uber into further oblivion.

Already chose the 3rd option.

Abeg who get connect for mm2 like rightnow. My car dey lockeddown.

Pearl1910:
So apparently the Riders are the ones now paying the N20 LASG fee. It's charged in the trip fare, then Bolt collects it from us.

komodapson:
How true is the bolded statement?

Indriver comprises of mostly shitty uncultured riders and Unilag indigent students.

Felicity001:
If your mental strength is capable to manage the two job which is

Set destination trip every morning to work.
Work after close hours during week days then work weekend and public holidays.

This Will only benefit your partner since you're not the owner of the car.

Best option, return car to owner then save up from you job, make sure you've a salary account and after six month if you still want to go into the hustle there're lot of opportunities for workers for a car if your savings can't get you a 9ja use of tok.

There's no business sense resting a rented car 9hours daily but if after giving it a try for the first 2weeks of resumption you find out it saves you cost of transportation to and fro work daily, still been able to the weekly rent and have a little money left then I think its a good deal.

Lastly, inform your partner of your new job offer for a possible reduction in weekly rental say from 30k to 25k with all maintenance and repairs to be taken care of by him.

Wish you best of luck.
