They did, I can't find it again. Taxiscam

Hmmm

Taxify removed the 2k reactivation bonus campaign or is it just me?

izzou:
So I paid my rental last night, and partner asked to see me

Got to his house, and oga started begging me that he wants to start driving it himself so he needs to terminate our contract

Has anyone experienced this before?

Chai...
No worry, you will get a better ride

MoonlightDrive:
If you have uber then do not pay, because the bolt shield is just another form of exploitation.
I never knew that blot recruited agberos to run their operations in Nigeria.
I think the guys running bolt in Nigeria are now in a serious dilemma, they must have made certain financial commitments which they had hoped to offset through this scam called bolt shield.
I am not paying because i have a better alternative in uber and once i am blocked i will just go and register with another ehailing app company.

Gidi cab may be the next big thing o

izzou:
Quick question: If the fares were increased, would you still consider taking it? Or would you drive?

Ask yourself this question...The people who take uber to work, how were they going to that same work before uber came to Nigeria?

Festac to VI is #2000 to #2300. Raise it to #4000 and see those riders vanish. The ridiculously low fares is what is keeping uber, drivers and partners in business

People requesting for rides at the airport: Are airport cabs not convenient? Why are they requesting uber then?

From #2,300 to #4,000 is an exorbitant hike. A 20% rise would not be so felt by riders while drivers would be a bit more satisfied e.g a 3k trip rises to #3,600. But if they have good reasons not to raise the rate ATM, at least do other things like commission reduction, bonuses etc.

Slamstanlee, this ticket no cut

Congrats bro! More bonuses on your dashboard this week

MoonlightDrive:
Please House, as tomorrow is the deadline for payment for Bolt Shield.
Why is bolt shield not optional, why are are drivers and partners not challenging this act of exploitation.
If you want to insure your phones and personal belongings there are insurance companies that provide such coverage so why must Bolt shield be mandatory.
What is bolt biz if i decide not to insure my phone and if the shield also covers your health, there are hmo that are setup for such.
Since we drivers and partners are not bolt employees why the insistence of having a bolt shield, in which Bolt are the direct beneficiary.
Why is there a shield for bolt but none for uber?

That was how I paid them 8k last year for nothing. I thought it was mandatory then. I am just not interested in it.
But since they want to make it mandatory, they should debit driver's account from the app like they did last year.

Mjosh1000:
been using it for over a year now no issues atol tecno camon x 3gb Ram

You use it for Uber too huh?
I use Camon C7 2gb RAM

izzou:
They are only after those brands

The dual SIM is not an issue

MeshachMARTINS:
you people have confuse me finish....I thought uber don't allow dual sim phones(especially tecno and infinix)

Even with a single sim phone, one could use same line for both apps

jesusson2020:
If you fall in the category of lazy and greedy, yes you will attack me.

I didn't mention anybody here, so if your conscience disturbing you, not my problem.

That's the issue...you like fighting people maybe it's your nature and brings the best in you sha. Such motivates some people.

You obviously do not have the right temperament and attitude for a public forum. I would be foolish to advise the wisest man that you are.

All the best!

izzou:
I've been reading everyone's opinion on strikes and all that. But here's my take on the issue

IT CANNOT WORK. THE DAY IT WORKS, ITS OVER FOR E-HAILING IN THIS COUNTRY

Let us look at it from the App companies view

1) They have so many cars on the platform. Bolt has over 2000 cars registered. The only they can supposedly keep all of them in business is to get more rider. Yes, MORE RIDERS. And how can that be achieved? Low fares

2) The primary reason (I stand to be corrected) why a large number of people use uber and bolt is because IT IS CHEAP. Forget comfort that we all shout. Gbagada to Ikeja is like #1000. Even a bike or Danfo won't charge that for a charter. Some of the riders you pick have cars in their compounds, yet they request you, and yoh think it's comfort? Nah I don't think so

Imagine Uber and Bolt increasing the fare. A lot of us here won't do 20 trips in a month. Look at your ride history. It's filled with trips from #500 to #1500. Increase the fare and see all those people disappear

We live in a Third World, where the gap between the rich and poor is wide, and where the percentage of low income earners are far more higher than we can imagine

Uber/Taxify can only survive here if they make the middle class and low income earners a priority.

The writeup summarizes what the situation very well. But if fares can't be increased, some other things can be done to improve the income of drivers like bonuses (with less difficult conditions) and reduction of commission to about 10-12%.

jesusson2020:
I eat in mama put, one plate of food is 300naira
I save 20k weekly.

Private driver earn 30k monthly, company driver that I know of that driver to kano, gombe, kogi and Eastern part of Nigeria on weekly basis earn 50k monthly, I was even advising the guy to come join Uber.

Most of you have aged in this job without achieving anything, that's why the laziness and greediness comes in play.

You will do well to stop attacking people with abuses and I expect others not to attack you as well. You always state your facts based on your experience which is very good. Try to avoid calling people names and putting people in a bunch and abusing them.

Respect is reciprocal!

sammirano:
Seriously? Well thats not the argument here. I clearly stated the facts whether you like it or not.

You view or opinion.
It is very expensive to maintain a vehicle in this Lagos state with potholes everywhere so people that are experienced are saying the fares are too low as they overwork themselves and their vehicles to be able to make something a bit tangible

izzou:

Lite is d cheapest, bolt is more expensive than uber. The driver is on bolt category not lite. Yours will be cheaper. But now all bolt drivers are on lite except rider mistakenly click on bolt category.
This is d right time to re strategies.
