No oo. The first trip from Shomolu to Festac was 2600. The driver even had to carry many loads. But the price wasn't same when I was booked.

Felicity0001:
Wait oh bros, I no understand... Driver that booked the ride for them collected his own commission of N2600, owo security abi owo booking ride ni.

And you wey do work collect 4k while bolt middle man collect 1k+ nawao that driver na big ant oooh MC Oluomo brother

Allow drivers to set radius for trip request like bolt.

IFEBARBIE:
Uber has invited me for a physical roundtable discussion on how to improve their app and driving experience on their platform. I already have my list of prayers for them which include

1. Display of rider's destination (riders believe we see it, but I tell them it's only on bolt)

2. Recruitment of more partners to reduce incidences of long pickups ( today I was around adekunle and got a trip from uba building)

3. Penalizing riders who request and fail to answer their calls. You can't slide arrived on Uber you need drive down to PU

4. Rider verification

5. Reduction of commission to 15 or 20% and regular promo for riders.

Pls, feel free to add yours so as to present it tommorow. Thanks

I had same experience yesterday. The order was made by the theid party. So obviously, the the person I carried didn't know what the estimate was. Getting to destination, rider con dey fume as if sey na me write the amount. Na just 5300 o. They said the driver that took them there collected 2600. Just imagine. Mine was on 1.9 surge with plenty traffic. I collected my money sha o

nickvanilla:
That is how I finished a trip this afternoon, rider called out like two of his family members who came and started speaking grammar for me. I just cross my hand dey rest for the side of my car. They were even asking me if the fee included taking them back to the pick up point. I for begin laugh but I no just dey in the mood.

After wasting like 15 minutes of my time arguing and asking jamb questions, the most senior guy among them brought out his phone and reluctantly transferred the money with a frown plastered on his face.

Some people don't even bother to check the prices before ordering. Whether it's on surge or not. For me, that's irresponsible. It's like entering a restaurant and not bothering to know the prices of items on the menu.

But who should be blamed? The cost of maintaining automobiles has skyrocketed recently. So definitely cost of transportation should increase.

*SPECIAL INFORMATION!!!!!*

If your vehicle is in that flood and you havent started your engine. Don’t start it!!!!!!!

Even if the vehicle is submerged and the water goes down. It’s likely water has made its way into the engine.

The first thing to do is open your engine air filter and check for moisture. If it’s moist or damp, DO NOT CRANK THAT VEHICLE!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START IT. .

Allow the water go down, tow it away if possible. Get your mechanic to drain the engine oil immediately. Also drain the transmission fluid. Do not take the risk of trying to drive that vehicle.

Let the mechanic disconnect the fuel sending unit ( fuel pump), pull out the spark plugs one after the other and then crank the engine. You want to make sure water in each cylinder is blown out of the engine by the compression / exhaust stroke.

Once completed for all the cylinders. Connect the fuel pump ( easiest way is to remove the relay or the fuse ) and start the vehicle. It may idle rough. Leave it. Do not rev it. Allow that vehicle idle for some 30 minutes

Once it’s up to operating temperature, ( because you have replaced your transmission fluid ) engage the gears one after the other. From P to R wait 5 seconds R to N wait another 5 seconds N to D wait again. D to N again N to R and R to Park. After this. You can drive.

Personally once I get the vehicle going again, I’d replace both fluids after another week or two depending on how milky they look.

Thank you

Exactly. Dudu Bishop knows his onions real well.

BAZ001:
That’s the real truth
I don’t believe whatever someone else have said about Blackbishop whether home or abroad

Dashboard or I dunt believe it.

Godfather10:
I do actually, 1 made £1210 last week, when lam in Nigeria lts a sin if l make less then 230k, there nothing more satisfy then working amongst one's own people, their hilarious humour, our flirtatious ladies and our hardwoking folks, nothing like home.!!

BAZ001 is busy drying his car I guess

SHOOPSYN:
Dru welldone.. . your strategy eventually worked out. Lure drivers with 2k challenge to upload dashboards(dashboards that doesn't mostly translate to money in your account) and now, onwers are bent on increasing rent or 40k/60k. But the truth is, except you decide to drive your car, drivers will always have larger share because they really deserve it. Please where is @BAZO? your silence in all these is begining to be suspicious. . My Boss @izzou, I hail sir.

I'm with you and others on this. 35k or nothing.

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Instead of me to use 2.5 million buy Corolla, God knows I'll use that money to buy Volkswagen T4 or LT

Danfo dey remit 8k to 10k per day, depending on the route.

And na still the same headache both of dem get.

20k a week is too bad. No driver should support that sef[/color]

I avoid riders like this though. And that Alpha Beach area, na another blacklisted place for me. Never.

deedee44:
It doesn't, you can never see a driver with this rating still active on the platform

Amennnnnnnnnn

Pearl1910:
Chai...Indriver don give u kopnomi.
I pray for u today be delivered from the spirit of Indriver IJN
Every chain tying u down to Indriver is broken IJN

Seconded

Odin2:
I am not even an uber driver but I'm always here. The cruise here though...

pope191 and BAZ001, if uber stops paying, you guys should enter comedy, or you can even combine the 2.

End the first trip there. Ask rider to request you again. Or they go offline with you. Allowing them to change destination is a way of making them cheat you. Peace.

MrCarter577:
Guys, how far with riders changing destination Oooo?

I was on a trip within Surulere, next thing when we got to destination, rider said, we're heading to Lekki. What's the best thing to do?

Sshould I change direction to Lekki; will Bolt calculate the first trip within Surulere, and then from Surulere to Lekki? Or should the driver allow Bolt app to calculate fees for the entire trip?

Eeyah. Pele

pope191:
The traffic is not here, scared of the unknown on the island, to and fro Surulere from Ogba is 4hr 30 mins and riders r not willing to add anything. I saw my gas dip, I jejely call it a day.

I used my account make request to report the Tom Ogboi way to drivers on Indriver. That kind thing. I'm not moved hsa. It even gave me time to visit Olaiya.

BAZ001:
You head dey there.
I’m even scared bolt might send me mail , cos I was canceling trips anyhow today.
Out of 36 trips I did only 6 trips and drove from 2pm till now.

Pls how were you blocked, ratings, cancel or report ?

Sakamanjeh99. I no mention anyone o. Run outta thread.

Felicity0001:
Yes you can sent to the number. Thanks a million and thanks to my friend Nazzjnr for coming through.

Okay let's do it like this, do 1k mtn card to me then send 1k to nazzjnr for his 2bottle of Heineken Abule Egba standard (N500/bottle) I don't know how much they sell at that side.

My oga at Shollywendy and pope191, matrix414, davit only to mention a few gracious... Twalle to you all.

Shollywendy I appreciate your concern today on that level god bless you.


On the flip side... Abeg who is Muslim here? How next week go be na... I need eat ram meat o abeg make una put me on a call na e jor

I dey with you on this.

Felicity0001:
Permission not granted.

BAZ001, pope191, pearl1910, kanuisagoat, shollywendy, davit, peep4u, northbird, flexxyworld, radautoworks and others what do you guys think about this matter?

Na so i take miss scanner and other give away o... See now this nazz guy self still won collect my 2k now

When they ask what s your name, I tell them Donald Trump. I no get time to drag matter.

Felicity0001:
At the bolded... Thank you sir!

A driver is at the security post and you as a rider expecting him/her yet you won't even call to give that convenience and when the driver calls you start asking irrelevant questions like what's your name? For heaven sake, didn't you see the name or the color of my car on your app?? Its so annoying.

Little wonder one told pearl1910 he was driving a different car. Just imagine the unremorseful stupidity.

Yes I know I'm a fucking uber driver the moment I turn on my app to accept request but that shouldn't make you disrespect me as a person like I've no value whatsoever, as a matter if fact you should know your life is in the hands of that man behind the wheel while on that trip so you don't wanna do anything to make him feel inferior or angry else some psycho can just drive you into something you never bargain for.

Wait o. So Pope191 Na babalawo too. I see... You no well at all. In fact, but I I no k ow who sick pass between you and Pope191. I still dey cum in peace o

BAZ001:
I dey enjoy this sweet infos in the midst of war and flood. I dey Surulere like dis, na to avoid
Trips to flood zones and be praying that one Lucifer child won’t change destination to dead traps. Cos it has happened to me twice rider will change destination mid way to bad roads
One was to Ijegun/ ijaye

Na there I go carry babalawo as in real Baba alawoo, he was talking like you (pope191) on phone.
Bring ori ogunfe (male goat)
Ori emo, (rat)
Ori ologbo (cat)

The story is for another day, babalawo do transfer before I got alert, I already said alert received don’t bother to wait sir.

That AC part dey beat my imagination. I do see guys put on their AC inside water. Who on earth does that? Only ignorant ones or the ones who feel the car is not theirs.

IFSHR:
My brother .... i dey first gate mechanic village like this to pick up something ...na coro boys I pity pass with all the things am seeing here, one was full soaked with water ...now imagine the ignorant ones that still used AC inside that flood na good bye to condenser

Na to check Google weather for Lagos and some pin point area in Lagos before I leave house.....weather report don predict heavy downfall for Wednesday and Thursday...na to just hustle wella...Sunday down to Tuesday and see as wed n Thursday be .

Guys, try as much as possible to avoid trips to or from Tom Ogboi way at Itedo Estate off Freedom way. The water level there is just too high. Been like that for weeks. Now worse. The girls there too are the worse you will see on ehailing. Na one of them got my account blocked today. It is a blackisted area for me moving forward.

God pass all of una o
My car never fully dry sha. But managed to hit the road today and did well.

But got my 2nd blocking on Indriver. First was more than a year ago. Never ask me what I did. It is just a day's block.

Road getting better. But I learnt traffic wan kill them for mainland today. I didn't get there at all. Even my daily offline guy sef, and I no fit carry am today.

We continue the hustle tomorrow. God no go shame us.

InfinityEstates:
@Davit et al, any tips on how to dry a flooded car without sunshine?

Well, I thank God for the day. Left home 4.9, came back 4.7 with less than daily target. Car flooded. But a rider put smile on my face sha. A trip of 9k, he paid 15k cos of the water on the road.

Remaining just a trip to complete my bonus.

Guys, brace up for another rain tomorrow.

Lol. My own flood Na Enyo for the chisco. Water just dey come from inside my car anyhow even after scooping them finish

shollywendy1:
Felicity , how far my guy? I hope this is not BAZ001 or davit. The car roof don comot inside this heavy rain.
Everywhere don dey lock . I spent roughly 2hrs from onikoyi road to banana island junction 500m drive .yet I drop off the rider due to heavy flood along banana road.

I dey road.

Gentlelife50:
1: "Sorry who is this?"
2: "Do you want to come where I am?"
3: "Can't you see it on your app?"
4: I don't even know where I am.
5: I am in my car.

Guys be careful on the island. The floor is affecting cars. Inside of my car is full of water already. I just dey scoop water anyhow o.

Guys island on a lockdown. Drivers don off app oo

The fear of flood.

I tell you. In fact if I had my way, Na 10k she go pay. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

Felicity0001:
She probably must have learnt her lesson from her pocket next time I'm sure ahe won't have to argue with a driver doing his job.

8k no b here for a woman o

You only see it when rider adds stops. It's been there since

vicdon:
This update aint available on my play store, mind sharing the apk?

No be lie. At some point, I we had to pay some boys who made a road opposite Sheraton. It was such a messy trip yesterday night. Mama just dey vex for herself.

Felicity0001:
I hate it when riders say that word enh... This is reason I say an average Nigerian is an illiterate irrespective of weather or not he's educated.

Seconded.

Felicity0001:
Then the prototype should still carry blackbishop with maybe some numeric or something... That your status... Moniker no just gel at all

Your bonus shows that you don't drive regularly though. I come in peace o

InfinityEstates:
Woke up this morning to 5 stars. I've not had 5 stars since I started. Interesting. Let me enjoy it while it lasts.

Still baffles me that the original price was 6600 when I checked before starting the trip. The trip no just dey ok by me jare. Na to dey avoid traffic laden trips now.

donfortune48:
If the distance and time covered on this trip, is same with what this image is showing, then the 1st price is even higher than the actual price for the trip. Even on 1.9 surge.
It should be 6.2k

Just do the math sir.
