Guys be observant, Rider App can now end trip on Bolt. They will end it and be forming they don't know what happened. As soon as the trip ends, drop the rider. Make them request again.

radautoworks:

She claimed and you believed her cos of bruises and NIN registration. Accepted
But did you help her to report to Uber ?
With all our details with Uber, how can u think of robbing ur rider
Unless dey agreed on offline or how can it happen and she won’t be able to report.

Pls conclude d story by telling us if she reported to Uber /bolt .

Johnchrix:
I don't know why some guys are like this, I have witnessed over three times Uber guys rubbing their clients alone Monnestry road sangotedo guys be careful, riders be alert. After robbing they throw u out.

Pearl1910:
Na festive period be this? ...last I checked guys were saying everywhere dry cos of public holiday

Who go carry people wey dey waka for night go their house? I personally prefer driving at night. Best time to earn if u ask me. Free road, surge, less waiting time. Just select destinations and the type of rider u r carrying
But u know wat? Everybody knows what works for them.

You have good motives, but unknowingly you're doing more harm than good. This heartless touts we have governing us in Lagos are always looking for who to extort and this has made us their target.
There was a time lastma held me when I just started this hustle, I used the pity card on him.. that guy man is just struggling to survive in a legit way. Lastma gave me N500, yes you read it right, lastma caught me and ended up giving me 500 at TBS (the one on bike) because I explained to him I didn't even have fuel and no money to buy fuel and they drove my car for like 20 minutes threatening to take me to their office.
Try telling lastma or anyone story now, they will tell you you guys are making big money, because of dashboards like this and they don't know what you'll have in your account is barely half of what is displayed

Yes I am new, and you didn’t need to comment. This is just a way of encouraging those who may be having a rough experience in this business that success is possible. It’s also a way of appreciating my mentor for all the assistance he gave me without asking for anything in return. The first person I reached out to here told me I will need to PAY for him to show me the WAY….

BAZ001:
To d gurus in d house, how do you use this Auto accept features on bolt and still see destination of rider?
I had to turn it off, cos it will accept trip before I see destination.
Can’t be asking rider where u going at dis age and time

lanre2009:
Boss i actually made something tangible on both wednesday and yesterday (thursday), I really appreciate you sir for all the words of advice and encouragement. God bless you more sir.......

by the way guys, I AM JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER A MONTH IN THIS HUSTLE

kanuisagoat:
On the contrary, they actually need those rookies to take those N500 naira trips or trips to dead, God forsaken areas.

northbird:
any business must learn how to evolve. Don't be too rigid in policies n decisions.

If it takes you several months to upgrade your pricing, because of a false belief that you are onbarding drivers daily. So the dormant accounts can go n hang themselves.

majority of the recent onboarders r rookies, it will take @ least 4-5months before they get a hang of how the city breathes. All you will get from them is a cut of rookies.

I will rather have 1000 veterans than 3000 rookies.

1daboi:
sorry Duke, have you been able to resolve it with Vio? How did you do it?

Judenzuruike:
Daleko is at the end of mushin just the foot bridge linking isolo

northbird:
Have you been able to sort it out?
Which side of Lagos is daleko? You mean dalemo, towards ogun state. how big is the crack, is it running across the whole screen or what is your offence.

Bros, dem don warn you tire for this thread. Why won't you just have sense and calm down with this nonsense you keep posting everyday?

If people here gang up now report all these your posts and dem ban you, na that time you go stop?

Pearl1910:
Yes, but sometimes it takes time and rider may not be willing to wait. If its card trip no wahala. But if its cash u will have to plead with rider to wait o. Or u wait outside till the review is completed and u ask rider to check their app for the price and collect your payment. But Bolts review is always based on estimate for the trip, not accurate route u passed. So if u passed oshodi/thirdmainland bridge from Festac to island, oyo is ur case cos review will calculate straight journey from festac to orile/eko bridge for u. Also if u had multiple stops and u went out of the route, it may not be calculated too.

One thing that I just know is that you can not know the accurate temperature of a river until you deep your leg into it. Whatever the temperature is, it affects us in different ways. The same water that you think is very cold might seem warm to me. It all depends on each person's level of adaptability.
What am I trying to say? You can't know how well you can succeed in this job until you start doing it. It's easy to conjure figures out of your imaginations based on what you hear or read on a daily basis but you can never understand the realities of those figures until you start trying to earn them.
I left a corporate job in 2016 to start E-Hailing because of the things I was told by a neighbor who was into it. My job was very stressful & I had to work every day of the week with just one day off. I was desperately looking for an alternative because the job was killing me & I was no longer happy with myself. One of my off days happened to be a neighbor's birthday so we were all gathered in the compound having general discussions. That was how I found out about E-Hailing & I did some research on the internet. After a few weeks, I decided to start by hustling on my off days. Fortunately, my boss traveled & was away for a few months so I had the entire weekend to myself. By the time he got back, I was had my resignation letter prepared.
Right now, I've not driven for about a year because I got tired of the intricacies of the job. The insults, the extortion by lastma & Co, the traffic, etc. I just got tired & the lock down made me realize how stressful and mentally draining the job had been for me. By the time the lock down was over, I was too mentally lazy to go back to the hustle.
From personal experience, there's money in the E-Hailing hustle but it's easier to make money than save it. If you don't have a very strict personal financial discipline, all you'd see is the figures on your dashboard.
Before you leave your corporate job for E-Hailing there are a few questions you need to answer.
1. Do you love driving? - Driving has to be fun & a hobby to you if you must enjoy the job.
2. Do you ha e the strength for long hour driving?
3. How well can you manage your temper.
4. How well can you handle your own PR?
5. Do you have the mental confidence to manage crisis?
6. How tolerant are you?
7. Are you sure you're physically fit?

The answer to these questions will go a long way to help you determine whether or not you're going to be able to handle the E-Hailing hustle.
The truth is, anyone can survive the hustle if they are really determined to.

Felicity001:
My brother... I call those dues no matter how careful you're you must pay dues at some point in time.

Sometimes it could be in form of sacrifice to offset some bigger problem ahead... Let me not talk much...

But in all, give thanks to God...

In this racketting you can't wave aside airport pickoff or dropoff. Some can be very lucrative and to your preferred destination. But you just have to use your head.

kanuisagoat:


I think there's a theory that states that sex once a woman is fertile guarantees a female child and anything post ovulation is most likely going to yield a male child.

I don't know how true or effective it is sha

And any number of children is okay as long as there's means to take good care of them.

donfortune48:
You're mostly right also.
But That 1star might have pushed off another 1 or 2star from your cumulative. Maybe that's why your ratings didn't change.

Bolt approximates ratings between 5 and 0. Anything above 5 is approximated to 1, while anything below 5 is approximated to 0.
Riders can only see 1 decimal while drivers can see 2 decimals.

If your ratings is 4.84, riders can only see 4.8.
If your rating is 4.85/4.86, riders can only see 4.9 cos it has been approximated to the nearest decimal.

Shanid:
. Good evening sir , I just register for IN-DRIVER I was asked to upload police clearance or TAXI APP PROFILE.....PLEASE WHAT IS TAXI APP PROFILE ??

ekehopp:
Insightful. Same thing with uber. Some riders dont rate.

I have done 864 trips on uber in 8 months, but so far only about 450 riders have rated me. Yet to get to 500 minimum and revolving threshold.

Note also that the mathematics show that seven 1 star ratings out of 40 will draw you below 4.5 for Bolt.

abefeabebi:
guess is just 24hrs, did my on Monday but added the vehicle and uploaded the inspection report,so after 24hrs the former one was deleted and the new one activated,thou same car but different expiring date now

deedee44:
I can relate bro. That was how I picked one girl from agungi going to egbeda, 10 mins drive to my house I just praised God. From our conversation I realized she came to visit her bf and they had a misunderstanding that's why she left.
When we were about to climb ikoyi link bridge her bf called her apologizing, next thing I heard have you gone far? The girl didn't know anywhere and asked me "where are we pls"
Me: We're about to climb third mainland bridge

That was how I didn't lose my destination trip that day lol
