My car vibrates when AC is on at idle. It makes me uncomfortable in traffic. The RPM even dropped to zero twice and car went off.

What could be the cause of this? Two of my coils is already weak. I no know if na him be the culprit.

CNG don expose say your coils no good , you should fix it Asapu

If possible change spark plugs too make your car dey agile again

Hello Seniors in the house
Please I need some advice. I manage a small fleet, mainly using Uberapp and for the past 3 weeks business has been really slow. Requests are very low.....imagine doing just 4 or 6 trips in a whole day, from morning till evening.
I want to ask, is anyone else experiencing this or is it just my side? And please, what can one do to improve margins so that take‑home is still reasonable?
I’ll really appreciate any insights.

Its the same everywhere, we just mix Uber, Bolt & Indrive trips together daily

But sundays are a bit different sha

Are you the one driving one of the cars or its your drivers that told you so?

Shimmaa:
Anyone attending this round table?

Wetin dem wan bring to the Table?

Heavy Traffic at Ajah going to lekki due to road work

I don enter am today

If you're the Bolt driver I ordered this morning at Marina, it won't be long before CBD and Lastma chop you because of your stupeedety.

Because I didn't want you to get into trouble, I trekked back from Marina bus stop to Oando and called you to pick me in Oando.

You thanked me. Drove past Oando, didn't call me and then clicked "Driver has Arrived", because you want to chop #36 per minute paid waiting.

Them you told me to be trekking to Marina and meet you at the traffic.

I honourably cancelled and reported you. Your foolishness knows no bounds.

Happy Weekend, guys

Lagos Island and wahala, 99% of the roads na One-way without signage. The hot zones where people need rides most but LASTMA & CBD no gree make parking & where to pick up dey

You cant blame him for missing pickup point, his fault is clicking arrived

Dear bosses in the house, good morning to y'all. Picking up this honda odyssey from my brother to start the hustle. Am I good to go?
Have a driver account with indrive and bolt because I was once driving with my old corolla about a year ago before I sold it.

Will these car do the job? What are the pros and cons with the car?

Na loads you wan dey carry or people?

This one say Driver assault and wan kidnap am just because he no gree on AC on Indrive.

Jegheter:
U select this before u start d trip?

Only Riders can select it, but they will rather go for cheaper options and expect the same treatment/rides for those who pick & pay for these option

Omo I have placed order for the 4-cylinder CNG kit from China direct ,for just 170k plus free shipping, for the cylinder I am looking for a used cylinder to buy locally for at least 100k,I have spoken with a friend who did his conversion to help me talk with the guy who converted his to get ready for home service when my kits arrive,

If I hear say I pay over 650k Maga money give any yeye person Abi na conversion centre,make I bend,I be proper street boy oo,no bi today I dey order from China direct

Street boy rora o , no buy wetin engineer no sabi fix properly because specs might differ.

Rider's know this Preference cost more so they avoid it? If you want AC with Uber trips

Bros, cng doesn't affect any engine... What the conversion does is, it elevates the problems or condition of ur engine components . If ur plugs were weak b4, it exposes.. If ur coil was weak, it exposes.... If ur idle air control valve was weak b4, it exposes.... Cng needs all components of air controlling parts to be in prestine state. No weakness allowed, cus gas has less power than fuel. Cng is NOT the culprit or the cause of their predicament, cng only exposed what was hidden or being managed b4, let's educate ourselves please. I just collected my car yesterday, the IACV(idle air control valve) i was managing b4, now the situation is worse, so i just have to buy another unit. It's not the cng's fault. Cng burns cleaner than fuel, better for ur car and environment, that's only downside (not for me tho) is loss of power, cus once again, gas gives less power compared to fuel and also power loss due to conversion.

Na the downside u jst dey talk so now. we all need education, and if you don dey drive on ehailing for atleast 3 months and u no sabi about car engineering and parts then you are not serious. Pros & cons dey, if not for Petrol price people wont even look at CNG option twice. CNG wont give you that full power Petrol gives your car, CNG exposes your car issues faster you cant manage electrical parts that has to do with engine optimisation if those options are okay with you then go ahead.

If u noticed nelochukwu asked a question about bolt and no one responded. So I was a lil pissed and responded with the moniker to show I'm d same person

Don't know y someone will ask a question n noone will respond

Bolt don block me permanently. Be like Dem know say I hate dem but I love the comfort sha I was only on comfort ooo but Dem still dey give me mumu mumu trips and plus if rider cancel or I cancel after interviewing rider my score reduces. I don't know why dey r so fixed on this their useless methods.

If rider cancel or driver cancel, na driver dem go reduce hin score. Thats total bullshit

Trump is too stubborn...the war is not ending anytime soon. Too much ego in the equation.

The war na Powerful man(USA) meet Stubborn man(Iran)

I hope this rain go bring GOOD TIDINGS

Dabadwela:
Install CNG

If fuel can reduce back to N735-N650 per litre, my Yakubu go manage ni o

Make this war end abeg

BOLT is scared of losing riders than Drivers... why should driver bare the consequence of a rider cancelling a ride when riders cant wait or maybe there is an issue with driver navigating.

You accept and cancel dem go minus ur score.
You accept and rider cancel dem go minus ur score.

One day their cup go full, it wont be like this forever sha

I have net 40k today with #4250 CNG... 04 Accord

Mehn, i need to think about my life

Jegheter:
I really don't like island trips. The thing with Uber is u gatz drive around abit while using d app. Asin using heat map and navigating but at d end of the day u actually earn more. If I'm to do above 50k it will be with Uber but the truth is God will deliver us from working so much after doing that in the past.

This 15 trips like 4 are island. Funny enough using same 20k fuel I hit more than the 50k using indrive and I used AC truout and gosh!! Better rider. More sane rider. I indeed forgot the Uber feel.

Na 20K fuel give you this?
Sane riders dey Uber pass Indrive, na just commission spoil am. I shuffle between depending on demands tho

Bought fuel 15,700 and averaged 32.524 and that amounts to 16,824 and minus Uber fees of 5,986 ,I’m left with 10, 856 in profit , started my first trip at 11:29 am ..I’m not complaining ohhh but this shit sucks ..😁 .una way de get am right with this hustle ,hmm I give it to you guys ..everyday reminds me of why I need to exit asap cause hustle like this doesn’t cut it in any part of the world ..Make I never talk the assault way I still face earlier this week ,working for paltry sum ..I’m pissed

This thing na timing and positioning sometimes... Today i even preferred Bolt Comfort becos the surge was much at VGC today but the traffic on that Lekki epe fit burn car head gasket

So when i'm parked and i see N700-800 per km rides on indrive i dey off Bolt & Uber pick am o. When i see N370 per km on Indrive i off it and go back to Bolt comfort & Uber(to complete my daily Quest). Na make account balance and smile go house be koko

Jst start/set out early, it usually boost morale. So by 10-11am u don make small money/your fuel money. Every other trips will jst be additional and work go don dey body by then

Azertise:
God abeg. Why are you praising a N383/Km dashboard with your 2.5L RAV4 and with fuel at N1330 per litre? Holy. Boss, no naw, that's a foul. I understand, you'd claim your car and body, but try add disclaimers so unsuspecting newbies won't think that's a sustainable standard in these times.

And truly, I get that times are subpar, but 20k fuel to net 50k is nothing to be proud of, cause that 131km you drove definitely was more 6hrs, without factoring the time it took to cherry pick all those rides.
This same N360-N400/km was my minimum when fuel was N839, with my 2.4L muscle, talk less of now that fuel is N1330.

Aswear, I really respect your fuel efficiency if that report is accurate. I really do. But you need to optimize your dash. In as much as you believe Indrive is the way and the truth and the life, it won't trump Bolt during surge, especially priority and comfort. At the very least, you should average N500-700/Km

I dey try set this standard. Make e no fall pass N600/km

Competition is the killer.

From Uber competing with Bolts & Indrive, Lagride prices - Every app wants more riders and Drivers

Drivers competing for Trips on Indrive - leads to unfair price because people have different reasons to take the trip

This is similar to when MTN first came to nigeria when Sim card was 100K even as at early 2000s then Airtel, Glo and the rest came to beat telecommunications and subscription prices down by competition.

Na when you wake up be your own morning... i no knw wetin to talk.

I've started practicing this, sometimes i fit drive empty from eko hotel coastal to ajah, Jst to pick good trip... I'll rather drive empty than take 5k to ajah. But unfortunately, other transport unions get unity pass uber drivers.

App go con dey swallow apps

Soon the govt will bring Tax script

Main thing be say make everybody(apps & drivers) earn farely, coz right now only drivers are taking 100% risk on this ehailing

If u carry am 5K dem go tell the next driver na 5K we carry am yesterday

Gentlelife50:
And I met one today that was saying he didn't install CNG because many of them are regretting, that in the long run you will regret.

He was very angry and saying that they didn't tell them the disadvantages, like the engine pressure will reduce, that sometimes the korope doesn't start in the morning they will have to switch to fuel for the first start of the day, that it kills plugs and other things, that if your engine is weak you won't know because it won't allow it to smoke, he also mentioned they have to be going to rewire every now and then.

Just this afternoon as I was going to awoyaya.

CNG is weak, it wont give you the same Horse power as Petrol along with other problems. One CNG keke for my front no fit climb hill everybody jst dey overtake am for there. People will still convert sha, for me i will like the car to be CNG from factory. Why Toyota, Honda no run CNG cars back then b4 dem switch to Battery Cars?

As for the CNG price when the demands comes the price will be almost dsame as PMS.

Just got assaulted on this job on the request of a rider ,I’m hurt and I need to take a revenge on this guys she arranged to hit me ..

So sorry bro. Please make a police report, if na Uber quickly report too. I hope you have evidence or some things to prove your innocence and the assault.
