Better still, don't wait for riders during trips except a few situations where you have to apply a human face. Such waits must never exceed five minutes. Waiting is forbidden when it's a short trip. End trip if rider insists on making a stop.

I don't know how Bolt really works, that's why I don't bother with that app. If it's Uber, be sure wait time and time spent in traffic counts. So, if you are on Uber and you are lucky to find a surge trip (between 1,6- 2.0 only), you can wait during a trip.

Waiting during a good surge trip is a cool way of making money without lifting a finger. Anything other than that, it pays you more to keep moving.[b] In this business, your interest should always come first. Forget how a rider feels because they are not considerate [/b]themselves by asking you to wait stupidly.

The bolded is my No1 rule.

2days ago on a Bolt ride a nursing mother with her friend order from Yaba tech to St. Williams Estate/Street Ipaja when sje called she told me Egbeda, the friend stopped at gate B/S, on getting to Idimu roundabout Gmap wasn't pointing anywhere to Egbeda, sje directed me and from experience I'd been to the place b4... Somewhere around power line inside, the road na baba for baddo... I managed to get her to the end of the long bad road which is off Egbeda Rd and told her I can't do it anymore I'm sorry. She called her hubby to inform him after much talk on the phone the guy did transfer to me.

I stopped a bike for her, offered her 2h to pay for the bike but sje refused to accept it... I was just having sympathy for the baby whom I believe its not up to 5months but menh! The last and only time I was there with my last rented Corolla I vowed never to ever go there again.

Even if you enter into an ocean for a rider they'll still rate you one star that your car didn't swim well.

Do a Badagry trip for a bolt rider for 1k they'll tell you your shocks are bad reason for their waist pain. na 1star be ur portion

Do F1 for a Bolt rider who is already late for a flight along the process you ran into an accident or damage one of your side mirrpw lile ikejamism the Bolt rider will still give you 1 star that you don't know how to speed you almost got them killed.

Bolt riders are devil's advocates. Bolt riders are not humans in fact they're aliens the only thing I like about them is their money

Barbiturate:
On bolt, traffic doesn't increase anything, but it does on uber

I beg to differ pls... At the end of any ride the time spent on a one way trip will be calculated base on the price weather its in Bolt or Uber.

Price fare is base on distance covered and time spent. i.e to say if you spend 5hrs on traffic on a 30km trip as against 1hr on a 30km the fare price will be calculated accorsimgly base on time spent and distance covered.

Only indriver is fixed price so you don't expect the fare to increase even when stock in traffic beyond the ETA initially.

How will tracker help you recover stolen brain box, kidney, intestines and all that. Corollas are more vandalized than stolen.
Comprehensive insurance is the surest bet, or engrave the plate number on all the targetted parts

Best sure ways but make sure the insurance policy is well spelt out "vandalism[b][/b]" because these insurance coy can tell u you only insured yiur vehicle against accident so nothing like vandalism in the clause. Anything to avoid reclaim is what they're always after

Boss you’ve been in this game for so long…

Never borrow rider money no matter How sweet talk from riders talk… thank God say you remember to collect your money sometimes you might forge or he or she do a fake transfer to you…

By the way, riders in Nigeria rate you base on 3-4 categories

1. They rate you base on their emotions (what’s happening to them by that moment. You can’t expect a rider to rate you good while he/she just got sacked/lose good appointment)

2. Rider rate you base on promos they get (imagine 50% promos ride fare is 1000 collect 500 naira from rider it’s obvious you’ll get your 5stars)

3. Rider rate you based on price (you can’t expect rider to give you 5 stars when he/she booked you on 1.9 surge from Berger to Ajah 15-17k trip wey be 7k na 1 star go surfer am)

4. The I don’t know how to rate (these categories will just start rating you from 1-5 some will even say I give you 1 star cos they hope is the highest)

Fact I wanna let you know is that in naija majority really don’t care about how fine your car or latest your car is. All they want is good ac and make them no Dey hear one thing or two things for shocks.

If you drive 2095 Range Rover in naija and you put am for Uber, person wey go envy you and rate you for -1 star plenty pass the one wey go give you 5 stars.

This is Nigeria

Cheers bro I hope bolt unblock you soon

Hahahahahaha.... U nail it bro... This is so hilarious.

I told the correspondent... Can you ever satisfy human... She responded by saying No! I then ask her why then should Bolt put drivers at the mercy of riders? The chinco girl no fit answer that one. We talked almost 30minutes ooh and I mentioned some of the things you talked about.

Nigerians are something else... Oyinbo needs to study the brain of an average Nigeria. A lot is wrong with it.

davit:
My own today. After drop off of the rider today, she paid. Next thing, Oga you go chill small. My friend is coming to pick me. Just imagine, after ending your trip. You still wan sit down for as long as you want. The kind stupid mentality these dumb riders dey get amazes me.

Shortly after leaving the place, my rating dropped to all time low.

Nevertheless, I moove.

Quickly apply the kanuisagoat formulae b4 water pass garri... Me I was planning on applying it after COB but that daughter of jazebel release the bomb. na to open a new account now I dey plan so... Since they want us to be dubious we shall.

chillex8:
Welcome on-board.

Thank you bro.

One thing I like Uber for is... What you see on your dashboard is what you have at hand but on Bolt you can be seeing 200k on dashboard but in reality na 50k dey show Bolt money na Indian money person no dey see am and you hardly do something thankgable with it apart from solve problems.

Dailyparrot:
I had a very terrible experience with a rider this evening.

This man ordered me at Makoko community in Yaba area. He was going to the airport When I got there, he came out with a lady carrying two bags. I opened the trunk from inside and they put the bags and closed the trunk.

The man came and sat in front of the car but refused to close the door. He started asking me why I didn't come down to open the trunk for him. That, is he not paying for the trip, that I am not doing him a favour. So many trashes.

I told him that I opened the trunk from inside and I am already seated in the car so? He then said that he will cancel the trip. I told him that with all pleasure, he can cancel it.

The next thing, the man said that I will not take my car out of their estate until I bring his bags out of my car by myself. I came down from the car and he did. When we got to the gate, the estate security men asked me to go outside the gate, I told them that something is wrong with their brain to think that I will leave my car inside their estate and go outside so they will lock me out.

After much back and forth, I just knew the man had home advantage and there's no need dragging further, let me just remove his luggages from my car and move on to other trips.

When I brought his bag out, he started shouting that I have broken things inside the bag with the way I dropped it on the floor. I just entered my car and drove to the gate before those security people opened for me to drive out.

The man was telling me that he left university 35 years ago, that he has a personal driver that he pays 150k monthly. I guess he's use to getting served that he can't differentiate his domestic staff from someone that's there to provide a service and go.

This hustle sha.

Chia! Why bolt no dey give these kind riders to me na! can u imagine!

I called bolt customer care today and from the response ingot from the correspondent it obvious we drivers are just letting every single issue slide without leaving a review or a report. You can imagine Bolt correspondent didnt believe there are riders with 3.0 rating still making requests on their app.

Stupid app, stupid riders! 80% of your riders are I'll-mannered and rogue... That's what i told the correspondent. That was the very first time I'd to put a call throw Bolt and I'm happy I defined their stupidity to them.

For goodness sake, how would you order a ride and a Benz pulled over, greeted you, you say in front, started making phone calls while I mind my business, you demanded some money to buy something and I gave you (after all I can afford to marry you, feed u with any kids u have and ur family included self), now, I followed d map for some reason you said I took a wrong turn, trip ended I reminded you of the money I lend you, you did a transfer and left with a frozen face like I dashed you the money.

The next thing my rating dropped afterwards my account got blocked. Isn't the app stupid? So it's a crime to ask for my money abi?

Bolt...

Atleast this give me opportunity to explore 2% with Uber.

Barbiturate:
Thanks bro. I appreciate. E be like the story wey that guy wey go jail tell you, don make you calm down o

It is a good one though! I like your new character. How your son? Trust all's well

No be that one bros... Na d season man just gat use him head and calm down this season of festive because everybody is pressurized only tye wise and vigilant will understand what I'm trying to say.

Barbiturate:
Thanks feli. I wan manage fix am for my panel beater place now. Na 2k e charge, and the rider gave me 2500. Make I manage till I buy new ones.

Abeg manage am my oga it's better than fighting over something you're bigger than.

Barbiturate:
One of una defensive driver just destroyed my side mirror. The worse was that he ignored me like nothing happened. The rider begged me and said he would give me 3k to fix it. This guy still told him not to give me up to 3k.

All these Corolla rough drivers, make una dey take am easy!

What temptation can be more than that? Bros abeg take am easy 3k won't be hard for you to bring out and fix your car!

Please let's try as much as possibpe to avoid trouble this period... This is a delicate and perilous time.

May God always give us the power and wisdom needed to over come every temptations this period! Amen!!

A driver won task force guys at last.

We re too gentle and foolish and impoverished in this country reason we can't speak up for our right as a people.

Kewtt:
Quit ranting. If you want respect. Give it

Same goes to you as well, same way I didn't react or respond to wereypey's comments and evil wishes to a gentle hard working and lawful man is same way I didn't react to yours even after seeing it Immidiately it was posted.

Time is a factor, yet no reframe of statement whatsoever and here you're demanding respect, from who?

That a Lion is quiet looking doesn't mean the kangaroo should go about playing all over tge place.

Respect is reciprocal and also can be earn.

Kewtt:
Your last paragraph suggests you weren't destined to achieve anything in the first place.

Shame on you and those that don't condemn wrong deed... Its you and your generation that is destined to fail and failure will continue to dwell with you and your household and those that supports you.

Someone boldly wish another man accident and death instead of you to call him to caution you're supporting him... Non.sense!

I chose to be calm on this thread for a reason doesn't mean anyone can just throw jabs at me anyhow, let's all be respectful to ourselves, contribute meaningfully to issues and if you don't have anything good to respond to someone issues please keep quet, read and pass and stop acting like a kid all the time but if you want werey me go tell you say i get am plenty for head.

Pearl1910:
Some cars show fuel consumption on d dash.
So for that guy, his car is consuming more fuel than usual and the fuel consumption is increasing further.

So the previous days waka, d car calculated his fuel consumption to be 1gallon = 19.8miles. then that day it was 1gallon = 19.7miles

Although there could be several other factors that may cause this reduction in mpg but it's safe to correct the issues on the dashboard first before thinking outside d box.

Oh... IC thanks for this enlightenment

May his soul rest in perfect peace and may his killers never find peace even after death

lagusboyyy:
Nah!

I be confirm Lagos boy wey no like yawa..

Call me pope? Yes,you are right.. I'm a peace Lover.

If you no be pope191 you no fit be like am

Pearl1910:
So your only issue is if other people have or are experiencing same thing?
Well yes, I have experienced same thing before.

Sorry I don't get... What does he mean by leaving the house with 19.8mpg then returning with 19.7mpg abi the literal meaning of mpg don change?

lagusboyyy:
This is absolutely spot on.

So many people walking around are already dead,they just need a trigger to cross to the other side.

Even if you march with dirty legs on my neatly polished shoe,na me go tell you sorry.. Life na jeje.

I'm telling you o bros... No time for plenty wahala...

Hello, where are you? I cut, wait and cancel

Gudvibes06:
Thanks boss, I understand better now though they still chop my eyes today for their 2k bonus but na me no put body cos I stated work around 4pm today and they gave me 7 hours online I con go offline when I get offline trip, I completed everything but I spent 6 hr 45 min online instead of 7 na wating make me miss their 2k be that but I understand the system better now... Make I no like I like this bolt pass Uber maybe na cos of the period wey we dey Sha but the PU time lasan na big advantage over Uber oo.

In that case request yourself and let the wait time read while you're on your offline trip.

Or set destination to your house then drive till you get home and leave the app running till mind night. All na time spent online

There're many ways to kill a cat

chillex8:
Uber 2% is bae. Followed by Indriver 9.5%.
Then integrity app(bolt) comes last.

Na so ooh no go gug am oh no loyalty in this games... As e dey hot

My only problem with indriver is that they refused to accept my car they said no category for my Mercedes Benz can u imagine that? Even uber self gave me headache with same reason I'd to visit their Maryland office twice b4 I was able to go online.
