[quote author=taxiappguy post=139136390][/quote]This is not Europe... do you still hear anything about climate change in nigeria?

Jegheter:
Yes EV is the future of automobile but not in Nigeria and definitely not as e hailing in the nearest future. Nigeria cannot support EV just yet and it will take another 20years to.

For now cng is better Investment than EV before u take 60m n buy EV I as a creditor will rather grant a facility for buying 10 big daddies V6 and cng all and hand to a receiver manager/fleet management team. Bro I tell u, u will make more money and have cars as going concern than the person that invests in EV today. Ev cannot be sustained just yet in Nigeria

You are correct 100% if not for Petrol price i prefer Petrol fuelled car than CNG. Or getting small capacity cars like Toyota Prius(Hybrid), Honda fit, Toyota Yaris etc


Now that the Strait is opened lets see what would happen next?

Dabadwela:
Ehailing is an average man business?

See the mentality wey una get sef

I spit on una

Lol, average man not poor man. No vex na richman business. Na why indrive fit thrive with rickety cars with poor conditions. If Bolt & Uber raise the standards for Cars like in Europe & US how many vehicles go remain?

Even if you be huge investor buy fleet of cars, na average man go still be ur driver. Thats when people dont want to pay more than 300K salary

northbird:
My advise is stick to what's working for you.
EV has no future with ehailing maybe CNG.

Do you have a standby Technical person in case of repairs or a standard workshop.

My bro, EV is the future of car

Ask yourself why US & CHINA moved from gas to EV and didnt consider CNG?

Infact na only India & Nigeria i see PR for CNG. Why EV wont work in nigeria yet is because we dont have 24/7 electricity, Good roads and there are so many EV to confuse drivers on which to buy as the no 1 EV(TESLA) is expensive for an average man. Ehailing is an average man business, so what an average man cant afford wont thrive, for example corolla made Uber, bolt thrive

All the EV on our roads are quit expensive, so when a company give drivers on HP the repayment will always be like slavery. Companies will always consider their profit 100% before they think of you

Bro u no believe. Fine go apply ooo

Treaster:
Guys good morning to you all,

Please I need a car for rental or hp, I can do 70k per week comfortably.

I stay at sangotedo.

Here's my number 09077777145.

Thanks.

Sorry to ask, for people who do Rental & Hp. Is it the driver that maintain/service the vehicle or owner? Or shared responsibility to service the car

Who drives LAGRIDE here? Why people dey sign deals dem no fit fulfill

emmychib:
Thank you. Please do you know the prices

Approx. 12-13K for both

One is 5k and the other 7-8K i think

You will answer about 10 Driving questions(small exam) for the LASDRI

Hard to believe sha

emmychib:
Thank you very much. Please where can I get the Hackney permit and lagdri and their prices

Lagos state Local govt offices near you.

Kumuyiii:
It is well.

So person go use money for half tank of fuel park motor for Airport.

Glithronix:
You're right.
That my sagamu client na half day - transition always btw 3/4pm, then get back to Lag. in the evening time.

But that Mowe (to & fro) trip was a sharp one, but carried some briefcases when coming back to Lagos and 50k billed.

Charging the same 50bucks for Ijebu ode trip will never be my portion.

Well, maybe na because my mouth don wide sha.



Much respect, sir.

Make i borrow your Sagamu client for 1 month , i promise i go return am

SHOOPSYN:
is very funny... and dont mind him ooo, tomorrow if Bolt spread their Mile 12 red tomato, he will still shook head ... interestingly enough, it is one thing to understand google map, it is another thing to understand the routes. Google map will show 40mnt red, you will add 15 as the X, by the time you shock head, google map will say traffic is getting worse and bla bla .... there are some route I can never follow googe map

I dont even take more than 1-2 Comfort trip on Bolt daily. I don sabi my way around the traffic sha. Apart from Ogombo there are some roads that can bypass through coastal road

Any trip wey pass Chevron this week my hand no dey.
. i don fall victim of this Ajah traffic again this early morning ruin my target

rapheal5:
I remembered you are also active during the days of those I mentioned, since you have help me rephrased it why don’t answer the question. You also think I’m a newbie right?

Boss, u dey ask question asif here na twitter

If those prev replies no answer your question then you no fit get answer here again. Na people wey still active don asnwer you so

Kumuyiii:
90km from ajah... Run a free campaign na, i don't know how some of you think. You reach Ijebu, riders full there dey wait for you to carry come back abi? 50k, kuku carry 5 naira. Na una dey spoil this work. You think it's all about buyin fuel that day. You don work the work many years yet you don't want to adopt the wisdom to grow in it. Out of state trip and some of you lot are saying 50-65k, as how? When i charge 80k to ikeja becus person asked me to wait 3hrs, 110k to ikeja go and come(albeit the person was nice), my charge was 70k....so if i wan comot lagos state, return empty to civilization, I go collect 50k? Ire o

After you collect 50K, buy fuel 30K then blow empty dey come lagos .... even Uber & Bolt with their nonsense pricing wont take less than 90K plus

roydenavas:

rapheal5:
Here is the earnings of January and February of my brother, though he works 3, 4 to 5 days a week due to car maintenance. He works 12 to 14hrs any day he choose to work. During the 2 months he bought fuel at 730 per litre and he bought 45k fuel each day.
My first question is, as a driver who works 12 to 14 hours how much is he suppose to net after removing fuel money at the end of the day.
For those who didn’t see my first post concerning my brother earning on bolt, he drives 2006 4plug big daddy.

E dey feel asif e dey work see earnings for app but Bank account no increase abi

Jegheter:
Chief I bought battery January this year 90k so check it well

because dem write receipt for you no mean say e no dey cheaper elsewhere

Price irregularity na hin be naija ecommerce problem

Glithronix:
Kilode nah?
How person go buy 45k fuel to work?
30k max is enough for a day's work and you go net over 40k.
Make your brother tell you the challenge him dey face. Something is wrong somewhere.


Much respect, baba.

Long distance pickup
Bad Naira/km
Poor car fuel line/Fuel trim

Jesustheking:
Greetings my senior men

I'm new to this line of work although I have read a lot of info on this platform since last year

I owned big daddy Camry and I started work last weekend although I used indrive only except for yesterday that I used bolt

I used 20k fuel to gross 40k and after deductions for charges and fuel I'm left with just 15k

Pls I need advice on how I can be more efficient

Also should I be looking for long trips instead of all these 3k fare that's every where because from the few days I have worked I noticed that long trips is less stressful than short ones.

You input will be appreciated

Kindly note that I run a personal business which I resumed by 10am and can close by 3pm if I like

No advice wey dem wan give you wey go pass experience and soon you will master your routes/mode of working.

Me for example i use Indrive, Bolt & Uber. Long trips are good if it leads you to good zone. I no fit carry Long trip from Ikeja to Ikorodu on a afternoon/weekday when i suppose dey city dey chop small trips except its a destination trip

So most things you will learn are thru driving and experiencing it, Bad trips will teach you not to repeat such mistake again. Na to make money be ur top most concern. So do what favours you, with time you will learn rides not to take and the ones to take.

ehailing is TIMING & POSITIONING

dclinton01:
Good morning my oga's
Please I want to know the document I need to add in other to use my car for uber/bolt in lagos, the car has oyo state number plate.
I will appreciate every input
Thanks

Check the app you will see them

easytig:
I will check them out this night,I remember when I told my rewire I needed led headlight,dude blatantly told me 15k for both,the next day I enter ladipo ,they were quoting from 12k for both,that night one thing say make I check AliExpress naso I see 7k for both headlight plus shipping, sharply I place order after confirming from the seller it is compatible with my car,when I received it ,I drove to my rewire to fix,he was surprised and asked for the price I bought it ,I told him he should not worry and replace the old one that was dull,for the past one year if I put on my headlight from twenty metres ,people dey cover eyes 😆 🤣

So your headlight dey see Potholes from 3km away
FRSC & VIO suppose arrest u as u wan blind other drivers

Jegheter:
Honestly what he advised is true but also you can do it . Just rest everyday when you get home. You are a young man I believe and actually your body is strong enough to rough it esp as u have this obligation. But pls rest everyday you get back home and you will be fine by His grace.

God will make it easy for you by His grace cause na work u wan work no be thief.

He should only run trips to work and back on 9-5 days. Then weekends fire down

No woundjure ursef with work

For person wey just wan start no suppose run 5-11pm which is Night work, o risky

easytig:
AliExpress is my go to online store,I easily pay with my opay account with naira,it is shipped straight to my doorstep,I can track the movement with the app, the most important thing is product quality is not compromised like the scrap that full Naija market s

Na Temu now o, "LAST DAY DEALS" on temu dey bang. Half the price on Aliexpress

Aliexpress Vendors don chop me gaan , i don move to Temu

Kumuyiii:
No put head till after next week.

Asai put head yesterday, i try pass shortcut come out for front thru that market naso those boiz don open Slab wey i enter damage my oil sump. Oil don almost leak finish before i notice. Na today i use sort am

Na when dem do the road reach Ozumba mbadiwe e go worst gaan

LivelyBic:
Good day comrades. Plz I'm new to this hustle. I've been reading some of your comments and from what I've read here I can deduce that the hustle isn't all that like b4. So but man must survive. I have a challenge right now and I'd need you guys to help give guardians. I have a Rav4 4plug 2007 which I have been using for private. So buh I want to use it for this buisness for just this year bcus I took a loan for a buisness but tinz dint go as planned which made paying hard. I work 9 to 5 and during weekends I'm free. So my plan is to work from 5 to 11pm during weekdays then weekend full time. With this fuel wahala is it possible for me to net 200k per month so I can use it together with my salary to offset the loan monthly. I don't want to convert to cng as it's just this year.

It is possible, me too just started. Register Uber, Bolt & Indrive. You will still have a preferred app among those 3 as time goes on but each app has its own purpose. And you learn to use them well to get Trips(good trips). You must have read through the recent discussions, you just need to start to get the experience. If you have any challenges post it so people can help/advice. Good luck boss
