Guys, here is the new guideline from Bolt. Riders see this now when they are booking. 2 passengers max and must seat at back. No AC.
But I'm surprised, some idiots still put on AC and even flout the other parts of the guideline. SMH
chillex8:
Lol. when did this happen?

If I was still driving, I won’t turn AC on for any rider. LASG travel advisory during this corona period and Uber self care says windows should be open at all times.
Even BRTs are not using ACs right now.

Stay woke guys.

You cancel the trip if you feel your health is at risk.

Humans are self fish especially during this virus period, they will tell you lies and manipulate you in doing their biddings while putting your health at risk.

This is not an emotional decision but a logical one, if you as a driver think your life and health is in danger, it is your right to end the trip.

AngryIgboMan:
Nobody should allow himself to be deceived. Uber and Bolt are not mates. Where Uber is, it will take bolt 100 years to get there. Take this from someone that was on the platform for over 4 years.

Uber and Bolt has there pros and cons but Generally, Uber is a thousand miles ahead of Bolt.

Bolt is better if you want to do what I call "rough or street work". This is so because a lot of bolt riders are very useless, untrained girls. So a lot of there drivers too are werey on there own. You change it for them, they change it for you.

Advantages On bolt is that you can cancel at will, curse riders as you wish if they curse you, See riders destination, set destination under surge, get matched to your preferred destination. Bolt also has this advantage of reabsorbing the driver into the system after ejecting you because all they care about is money. Bolt will match you to your exact destination or a related place. They have a serious advantage over Uber in this. On bolt too, you can call customer care to unblock you with a simple explanation. They will unblock you.

The downside of Bolt is Careless Miscalculations, Atines does not add the toll fares, atimes they fix price that whatever you drive is your business... Price will remain same, iddiotic frustrated riders, Very useless app that can frustrate your life, you dare not make or answer call while on a trip else everything will come out at 500, No cancellation fee even if you waited for 30 minutes and rider cancelled, Very useless customer care that will take days or weeks to reply a simple enquiry, useless surge that will never pass 2.1 at most, riders can run away with your money and thats it, riders can report you and you are yanked off the platform without any investigation. etc Funny enough, they will unblock you immediately you beg. Foolish people. It helps though when you a driver that has low tolerance for rubbish like me. grin grin

Uber is better if you want to do disciplined civil work. Uber has a lot of advantages over bolt. Where do I even start? Uber has far more disciplined riders than Bolt. This is 100% fact. On Uber, once you complete 20 trips everything will become 3%. This gives you far more money than bolt can ever give you. Uber also has good customer care that replies you in seconds or minutes, Uber will refund you if a customer really runs away with your money, uber has cancellation fee for some crazy riders that will cancel at the last minute, Uber has surge up to 6.5! This a fact. I have eaten it before. From Ikoyi to Lekki going and coming, a rider payed me over 12k in 20 minutes. This was during Christmas and road was very free oo.

Uber app is the best in the world. It is very Fluid and Stable. If you want, make call from pickup to destination... Price will still be properly calculated. Atimes Uber refunds you if Lastma or Police gives you a fine and you have receipt.

The downsides of Uber is You can't cancel anyhow, you can't see riders destination, you can't set destination under surge (I HATE UBER WITH PASSION FOR THIS), They decide when you go online or offline, They don't forgive once they yank you off the system, They are very strict too.

To cap it up Check real VI, LEKKI, IKOYI, BANANA ISLAND, VGC big men, boys and ladies. They don't use bolt. Only dirty Ejigbo, Idimu, Idi Araba, Igando and Alakija prostitutes use bolt. Also dirty, broke ill mannered lekki runs girls use bolt too.


SO WHICH ONE IS PREFERABLE FOR ME?

BOTH! Depending on the spirit inside me when I wake up. If Satan is at work, I use Bolt. It God is at work, I use Uber. If I want to make mad, untamed money and drive with hatred for black people, I use Bolt. If I want to drive with love and concern for humanity while making clean money, I use Uber.

In Nigeria, nobody is a saint. Everybody is a thief. If you use Bolt, you can make money you didnt work for. On Uber, you can barely do that. This implies that Bolt will help you survive more in a city like Lagos where the average person is a crooked criminal. Bolt is more liable to Sakamanje which means more money. Mileage editing, receipt editing, email spoofing, screenshoting of receipts is more rampant on bolt which means more money. If you try it on Uber, they are catching you that very second due to there top technology.

I remember the early days of Bolt when manipulations was far more easier. One stupid girl was running his mouth like tap water insulting me. I ignored her. I simply used my Lockito and set her pickup as Kano and Destination as Jigawa. When trip ended and I showed her receipt, she shouted Jesus!

Rider: Oga this map shows I was in Kano. When was I Kano?

Me: Nne, you were in Kano whether you like it or not and we are in Jigawa now. You must pay me oo. You are even lucky I did not take you to Japan.


Don't ask me how it finally ended. Chai... I miss Bolt of 2016. When you can take a rider from China to Gabon.

Bolt driver app is working now. Guys I had this funny experience at VGC yesterday night that I think I should share. Took rider to VGC, a resident. She used her access card at gate. I dropped her at home. Mind you she didn't put the correct address, so it was the usual turn right, turn left thing that got me to her place. On getting back to gate I was asked to supply Pin before I could drive out.
I know VGC requires Pin to enter but not to go out. Unfortunately for me, the rider didn't use pin to enter. Was asked to call the rider or go back to where I dropped her. Her number was switched off. I had no idea of where I dropped her. Na so local man got stuck inside VGC o.
I was there for more than an hour and saw other drivers who had same issue. I had to practically appeal to some of their ogas wey dey security post before I was let out o.

Lesson: When you drive to VGC, access card or not, make sure rider get you PIN o. All da best.

My car is to pick and drop human beings not loads.

Rider : Mr Xxxxx, where are you ?
Me: I'm off the road around that Lastma office, where are you ?
Rider : I'm at Total Petrol station
Me: where are you going and do you have any load ?
Rider: Surulere, no load
I drove into Total by Sura , didn't see her, called and sighted her outside
Rider: I'm going to Ijesha and I want to carry about 70 crates of eggs
Me: I asked you if you have any thing you want to carry and you said NO (egg go break or something wahala go start)
Rider: I didn't say that, etc
Me : I'm sorry I cant carry eggs let alone go to Ijesha, please cancel.

On bolt, at times the fare doesn't change. It's better you ask the rider to allow you end the trip and start again.

Good morning to the house.
Please if you pick a rider to a destination and getting to the destination and the rider wants you to take him back to the pick up location, Will it be calculated automatically by Uber/bolt after the whole trip?

It is fraudulent of Bolt then. If they don't want you check price, the button should not be there at all.
Romeo3:
stop checking current price. It disrupts the app but they won't tell you.

Guy ask questions before you conclude. I use Mi Note 10 Pro. 8gb 256 gb rom. It is one of the best phones out there. I use 4g sim as well. So the GPS issue is with Bolt not phone.

Thanks for your advice though! wink
Romeo3:
use a 4G lte phone

4gb ram 64gb space phone. And use 4G sim.

If you don't have that phone spec, you need an upgrade. If you can't buy one now, you need to walk into a phone shop and ask them for "easybuy" easybuy allows you pay 30% for the phone and spread remaining payment for 6 months.

If you can't, update your android software, your bolt app, and your Google Maps. From your bolt app, choose the setting that allows Google Map to come up immediately the trip starts.

Now when ending the trip and the app is taking too long, never ever restart your phone. Keep turning your network on and off until the fare shows. Bolt app always calculates the estimated fare for you.
