₦500k

Thanks Elder.
But what I want to know is how customs calculate it for an individual.
How do they arrive at a particular price for every car?

Just like this 500k for an 05 Corolla; how did they arrive at that price? Is the price fixed for every car?

Abeg comrades,
To pay full custom duty for an 05 Toyota corrola is how much?

Olayetan:
Wow

Reading this makes my eyes teary,
would text my details to you now.


I appreciate so much.

Thank YOU!

Abeg do giveaway.

This your mentality is the reason Nigeria is where it is today. The mindset of "I better pass my neighbor". That's why no matter how much inflation we have, people will be consoling themselves that they are still better than others since they can still afford to eat irrespective of the high prices.

I am not comparing bolt driving with anything. Can you also compare it with people who work in oil companies and earn in millions monthly?

Because it seems people only compare with the lowest lows just to feel good. What happened here is wrong. Accept that what the girl did was wrong. Stop forming political correctness.

Apparently you don't read every comment on this thread, for you not to know that those words didn't originate from him.

I bought corolla am looking for how to put it up for umber and how does it work in terms of payment?

kanuisagoat:
I have sent you a PM. Bolt agents dey monitor this page

E sure me like 95% say pearl1910 is a bolt agent.
Or their whistle blower.
Or their undercover spy.
Or a formal staff that was underpaid.

kanuisagoat:
Misinformation

Well.
No one knows the best way to tackle bolt.
We only say what we have experimented that seemed to work for us.
What I said up there is what I always do and it have always worked for me. There've never been a time I tried it and my ratings went further down.

Most weeks i notice decline on my ratings are weeks I accepted trips, arrived and cancel before the 5mins waiting time.

What I do anytime I want to build back my ratings are..
1) let a trip I don't want to complete ring out without accepting.
2) accept and cancel immediately without clicking the arrived button.
3) accept and wait for client to cancel.
4) accept, arrive and wait for 5mins before canceling.

It have never disappeared me.

Pearl1910 and kanuDgoat see this una app enh me i don tire. Is it that your riders don't know how to rate ni or shey ma bolt dey play wawo? I've done 6trips today after returning from Ogun state and all my riders together with the once of yesterday like I know have rated me well... No issue with any at all... In fact my last rider though a 3rd party rider request was from her hubby... The woman even paid for my tiger nut and paid the area boys that helped out along the mile2 road... That road no be here oooh I never knew that orile junction na die... How come no one has dropped update on that road here lately...

Anyways, after the trip my rating dropped further to 4.28... I just weak.

Kanu Dgoat abeg whats d back door route to bring this rating up... Be like due process wey pearl1910 advised no work am

Stop cancelling requests you don't wish to complete after 3mins.
Wait till 5mins before you Cancel.

Try it for 1 week and come back.

Make una expect heavy dashboard tonight.
250k Gross.

Barbiturate:
I guess they don't approximate. 4.88 is still 4.8. I'm not sure though

They approximate to the nearest decimal.

If your rating is truly 4.88, what you'll see on riders app is 4.9.

Your rating may drop soon.
But not likely. If you don't get any low rating soon.

kanuisagoat:
If you're seeing 4.88 on your app and 4.8 on your rider app, your actual rating is between 4.71 and 4.79.

Between 4.75 and 4.84.

I intentionally didn’t start trip to know if truly it will calculate kilometers + paid waiting + normal minutes. Just for analysis sake and it’s a short trip

Started trip close to destination

Oya calculate

My own conclusion be say bolt calculated d km from the house not where I started

For a 1.3 surge the trip no suppose pass 1.1k or 1.2k.
But the paid waiting now added almost #300 to the actual price of the trip.

Imagine say na V.I to Abulegba trip be this and on a 1.5surge. You come start the trip at Oko-oba. After 2hrs paid waiting.

Na only pearl1910 you suppose mention here.
Cos he's Bolt's defender in the universe.

Sometimes when he argue, I go come dey wonder say... Maybe he's a newbie to Bolt.

Pearl1910:
While I acknowledge anything can happen, mistakes can be made and app can misbehave, let's be guided by certain standing rules so we can override some things. And not accept the possibility of everything and anything we see within the system.
Sometimes Bolt does not include surge in receipts like Uber does, so this paid waiting in some cases might just be d way Bolt expresses d surge amount on that trip (Just thinking off d cuff)

Am not defending Bolt o, shey na my papa company?
As I am speaking from facts and experience, I am also always open to knew developments, but the problem with people is having enough to back their claims inother to convince and not confuse.

One love

If you had sounded like this from day one, you wouldn't get all that jabs that were thrown at you.

Peace bro.

Pearl1910:
1. You are not supposed to forget to start your trip, but if u do and at the end of the trip I complain and request for ur complete fare because u forgot to start trip, bolt will investigate, probably ask Rider before they complete ur money. I still don't believe the App will do that for u midway into d trip, except u have gotten to destination and it's obvious u forgot.

2. Now this is another level o. I was of the opinion it's only the trip from where u start that will count. This one u r saying app will calculate from Lekki Phase 1 to Ajah then add Ajah to Surulere where u started trip to ur money is alien to me. And I am not sure it is correct. Ur trip will start counting when u click start trip to when u end trip it's as simple as that. Except u forget to start trip and u get to destination.

3. That person didnt go on that trip so we can't tell for sure why that happened. We don't know if there was surge or not. And if we apply my logic to that trip by deducting about 4,500 that was d paid waiting on that trip from the total fare of 10k u n I know that Chevron to Redeem, back to Magboro will be more than 6k.
Make we reason am na.

Shaa There're many levels to this.
Bolt is capable of everything.

Even you self knows that, that you trip last night is higher than the estimate to magodo and I believe it's because you swiped arrive at the pickup which is not where the rider is before you started driving to her actual location. The app might have counted that for you.

My own is, stop defending bolt as if any off these is not possible with their app.
And stop making people look like they don't know what they're saying when they share their experiences regarding the subject matter; just because you've never experienced it yourself.

Pearl1910:
Yes, we have done all these analysis. And ur example was from a long time ago, when App wasn't so well... U and I know that could have gone anywhere. Because before u can carry someone fro Lekki to Berger and see 1500 at the end of trip.

And I am yet to see somebody doing this very example u just showed now. From Sangotedo to Berger but starting trip at Ogudu. Then let's see what App will calculate for u as distance covered.
Yes, we agree paid waiting will count, but the million dollar question is "will distance covered still be calculated from Sangotedo to Berger or from Ogudu to Berger where trip started from?" If the answere is that it will start from Sangotedo where Rider inputed, it then means that like Kanuisagoat said, if rider put Lekki Phase 1 but u pick rider in Ajah, ur trip will still be calculated from Lekki Phase 1, Is this what is obtainable?. Now this is what I am arguing against. I am not just talking for the fun of it but reasonably so.

This argument makes sense from both sides, but let's look at the facts, if someone claims that paid waiting of 3k was added to his fare, if we deduct the paid waiting from the fare, what will be left of the fare? Will it be a representation of the correct fare all things being equal?? If u come with answers to these questions then we will conclude these argument.

Kanuisagoat said estimate for the trip was 1400 or 1500 and that's what the rider paid. So if he claims paid waiting increased the fare, if we deduct 400+ plus from that fare,rider would have paid fare less than estimate. So what are we saying?

1) what happened to me doesn't look like an app miss function. If it was programmed by Bolt then, why will they remove it now? When it is actually a good feature that helps driver avoid loss when they forget to start a trip.

2) what I illustrated from Sangotedo to Berger is not same as rider putting Lekki Phase 1 to surulere while she's in Ajah.
Mine is that, when rider puts Lekki Phase 1 to surulere while she's in Ajah and you got to Lekki Phase 1, clicked arrived and then discovered that she is in Ajah, if you drive from Phase 1 to Ajah, pick up passenger and started the trip from Ajah to surulere, while you 1st clicked arrived in Phase1 before driving to Ajah, Bolt will calculate the total distance you covered from phase1-to-Ajah-to-Surulere into the trip.
It'll also count the minutes from phase1 to Ajah as paid waiting.

3) someone already posted screenshot of a trip from Chevron Drive to Magboro that was started on Lagos Ibadan express way. I'm sure you didn't miss that.
So I don't know the proof you seek again.

Pearl1910.
The argument the last time is that people arrive at pickup, start driving to rider's destination leaving the trip on paid waiting without starting it. Once they're some kilometers to rider's destination or even at the destination, they will start the trip knowing that the distance covered will still be included by the app.
By then the paid waiting must have accumulated quite well; especially on surge trip.

I even illustrated my experience here which is the basis of my own assertion. Which is...

Once you click the arrived button, any distance you covered from that point whether you started the trip or not must be calculated for you. Even if the final destination is not same with what rider put.

If you clicked arrived at Sangotedo, and drove till ogudu before starting the trip while the destination is Berger bust stop, the app will calculate the total distance you covered from Sangotedo to Berger bus stop.

Where the cheating comes in now is the time/trip duration.
The time spent from Sangotedo to Ogudu will be calculated as paid waiting (#24/min), while the time spent from Ogudu to Berger bus stop will be calculated with normal time (#12/min)

Imagine leaving a trip of 1.9 surge on paid waiting for over an hour. That's almost #50 per min times 60mins. Which is almost #3k.
Here, the paid waiting added an extra #1.5k to the original fare the trip should have ended.

Why you think that these can't be programmed into the App is what I don't understand yet.

kanuisagoat:
Was going to let sleeping dogs lie but I didn't also want it to seem like I just cooked something up.

Hope this suffices?

You'll still be proved wrong and naive.
Just wait and see.

kanuisagoat:
I know you guys had this discussion a long time ago but I'm just catching up.

The guys have a point and a ride I recently ordered for someone is now making sense.

I remember the driver only arrived but I never saw driving to destination. I called the woman I booked for and she confirmed to me she was with the driver and the journey had started.

I told her to remind him to start the trip. Whether she told him or not I'm not sure. I didn't bother to check again till the trip ended and I saw that the price was 2400 and a wait time of N636 naira.

This was a trip with an estimate of N1500 or so. It didn't make sense to me but I couldn't make any sense of it till I saw you guys arguing about it.

I have now asked bolt to review the trip and explain to me what happened.

I await their feedback.

Stop bringing up dead issues.
That argument helped most of us to dictate how stiff and rigid some people are in reasoning. Even when we think they're learned.

Sha let the sleeping Dog lie.

VaselineCrew:
I can see money on my dashboard but no money in my account



All this driving sha, yet account balance is not moving or is moving backwards.

Is it because I’m buying all these small chops and coke

Haba!

Sometimes I look at my dashboard and ask “where is the money?”

Stop buying small chops and Coke.
Start buying Biggi Apple and gala.

Your balances will Augment.

VaselineCrew:
Men my whole body is peppering me. I have been driving since 9a.m

Is this how ants do it? Na wa oo


I had to take a break at 3pm, as my ac wasn’t keeping up with the hot sun.

Thinking of doing an ac overhaul, but a new compressor for my car cost about 200-300 pounds, so I dunno.

Happy Sunday to everybody!

This A/C issue confuses me sometimes.
Cos I've used my car for almost 3yrs now and no A/c technician have ever come close to my car.

I've never topped my Gas before nor change any a/c component before, yet my a/c is still performing far better than most cars I've checked their's.

I don't know the cost of a/c gas nor any other a/c component; except the filter. And I change my filter by myself almost every 3/4months and that's all.

I do that anytime I notice that my car is not cooling as it should. I'll either clean the filter or change it if it's too dirty. It's only 1k.

tojahh:
Pearl you were right about this argument. If you start the ride at the middle of the trip, the app gives you calculated fare based on kilometer driven. This was a trip of about 1:25mins I did yesterday without starting the ride.

How is he right?
