It will take time for u to know there's PMS, got mine on ease and filling stations are opening. No suffer for nothing boss.

small small e go reach your area. Scarcity just dey start.

Started from the Island on Saturday, e don reach some part of mainland today. By weekend everywhere in Lagos go dey find fuel to buy.

Pearl1910:
Lolz... 1 post, 3 different stories. Say No to rumours. FG already suspended fuel increment because of elections. It's now d headache of the new government, so till next year after d elections, there is no plan to increase fuel price.

Here comes the Bolt agent again. . Trust Nigerian Government at own peril. I hope u don't vote Buhari for 3rd term in 2023

pope191:
Boss na contract una they run, if the terms and conditions are not favourable, move to the next. Bolt have been sending me different mail to come back, but I find home with indriver. Once they start acting up again #WeMoove

The Beauty of INdrive is Freedom and Fair Rating, but you can't compare it to BOLT when there is surge. Bolt is better. You make X2

No be today, nah style style them wan take remove subsidy

Good morning guys

Have u all filled up your thank lately, the lingering fuel scarcity could be long-term, the way I am seeing it.

Remember Federal Government said they will remove subsidy in February which they later postponed it. I heard from someone that they want to create artificial scarcity first to make Nigerians buy fuel at expensive price and get use to it, before they remove subsidy this year.

Another info coming from an impeccable source in NNPC said, the recently imported petroleum products in the country is contaminated with sulphur which could damage Car Engine, Federal Government had to suspend the sale of Petrol.


I spoke with one Tanker Driver, he told me it is a supply issue from the Marketers, that it would soon be resolve.


From all the info I got so far, i think FG is trying to run Nigerians street. They want to gradually remove subsidy. they know if they announce it, there would be massive protest.

So Make we prepare ahead of what is to come. A new pump price of ₦340/per litre of fuel might soon be effected.

Doings!

Nah this kind policy dem dey call" Daju, Kala, Ma rerin, Le jupa, Wu wa Ika."

Barbiturate:
After how many months? Heard they will soon update drivers on the ending date of the old app.

Quote this comment.....this will actually bring problem to bolt!

If rider cancel, your score will reduce! How can you reconcile this? Got a request from sabo to VI. I rushed quickly to get there cos it was just 3 mins to PU and the rider cancelled before I got there. Then my score will reduce because of that. Is that not crazy!?

Meanwhile around 4:30pm, I was at Lekki phase 1 and a trip going to Aja came. It showed 25 mins to get to rider. She was at the other side, as if you're going to Aja. I called and explained to her. She refused to cancel. I obviously can't drive 25 mins there, just to wait for 5 mins and cancel.

Just watch how a lot of drivers will be booted out and it will in turn affect bolt.

Dem no reason this one well at all. My plan B dey on the way though, just in case.

Let's see how it goes

IFSHR:
The only available hack for now is don't download, or if you have you find someone with the old app to send to you via sender

Even if u don't download new version, after some months the old app will stop working. So you have to adjust and adapt to the changes. That's the only way forward

northbird:
, I filter trips like kilode. How can it go up. After 3 trips, it didn’t move at all.

After 100 trips before it can move

northbird:
Brethren, Biko, How can one boost the driver's score.? When riders cancel,the value also drops. I have done 3 trips already, the thing is not moving up.

. Drivers don enter one chance. ..E go choke this time !


Just kidding. I think is after every 100 trips it will update


You did not accept, 1% drop of driver score

You cancel, 1% drop of driver score

Client cancel, 3% drop of driver score



You can boost your driver score by completing aleast 80% of your trip

Since yesterday, long queue at various filling stations in Lagos. Is fuel scarcity gradually looming.

pope191:
They remove VA.T does not mean they are paying, until they come cleat about it. Walk with everything you have in thus Lagos, so they don't use you as scape goat. Lagos is a crazy city, we survive by grace. At Berger bus stop, you will see Danfo stopping beside the bus stop to lift and drop passengers. Private cars will try it and RRS will pull out from no where.

. I just reached out to them to know if they have started paying Tax to the Lagos State government, they confirmed it to be true.

INdriver has started paying Tax to Lagos State Government, after the incidence of Task Force arresting drivers happened. I noticed some changes on their dashboard earnings, V.A.T is now included with commission.

So any arrest by law enforcement agencies regarding you using inDriver as illegal, Resist the arrest.

Felicity001:
Baba next time drag that bitch out of your car and give her a dirty slap... If you can't do that I'm just a phone call away.

rocila1041:

Gentlelife50:

BAZ001:

Every Saturday morning I start by 4:30/5am

The elders taught me to maximize profit in dis hustle.

Friday night and Early Saturday is still paying real good: l started work by 7pm Friday night closed by 7am Saturday this morning. I don realised 18k

Barbiturate:
And someone is saying we are making it look like it is that bad.......when it is actually bad. How can I carry someone from first bank bariga to almost kilo for 1k, with all the bariga traffic.

Don't let anybody deceive you, the hustle no pay for now!

Take time out and study the days, time and places when the prices goes up when it surging

Work within those days time and places you will make something tangible in a week.

I just gave u one of my strategy.

Pearl1910:
Lolz ...learn strategy una no gree. Anyhow surge been dey sweet una from July to December last year.
Stop complaining, drivers are still delivering 30k others are still paying for their HP.

I know u r big men. Just go n chill in ur regular spot.

Don't mind them, let them keep wailing , January and February nah riders get am, I said it earlier before we enter Winter. Bolt dey compensate customers for money spent during Xmas period.

It takes strategy to make good money this period
Or else you will go dey work without making profits.

For those that can't cope with recent prices, just go and park till March.

Felicity001:
Another offline don amd dusted... 6k no time
No joy
No loyalty
Bonus kill Uche dia

. . Converting offline trip Is fraud. Bolt frowns at it. U think u can cheat Uche always, he is a bad guy O! sledge hammer is patiently awaiting, wait for it.

kneo:
Twitter ban lifted

2023 Election don dey come, they want to campaign on Twitter

Glithronix:
And January never even reach half, more papers, bro. Much respect.
But seriously, this bolt commission to high oh.
After removing fuel and oil money, data money, wetin come remain from the 89k. Swear, bolt shouldn't have more that 10% on earnings.
I read say one bolt staff dey here with us make him no vex oh, abeg no vex.

Very very high I no go lie. I noticed their commission is no longer 20%, it’s 25% with introduction of booking fee. Well I try to utilize and maximize my earnings wether little or big by saving and investing rather than excessive spending

samobaba4u:
The rider self fit be agent

Yea. These guys dey arrange fake request to come pick them up at the wrong place. I almost fell for it during my early years in this hustle, they nearly Clamp my tyre, but as a sharp guy wey don dey street for years, I am zoomed off immediately I spotted them coming with that iron clamp. That was how I escaped paying mumu money to those idiots.

Felicity001:
Sorry bro its part of the thing in this job and thank God you where able to get the money to sort it out.

But don't you know they don't allow pickup at the airport unless you drive to the car park?

These are the rules within the airport premises:


1) Don't pickup passengers outside the premises, only drop off is allowed.

2) Don't stop on the zebra crossing even if there is traffic always guve way for pedestrian.

3) To pickup at the airport drive intonthe car park
i) get your ticket at the entrance
ii) wait for you rider or assist them to get to where you're parked
iii) as soon as you're ready to move out proceed to make payment.

Amount for MM1 and MM2
0-1hr --- N500
An extra N100 for every 1hr spent
You're allowed 15minutes to leace the car lot after making payment otherwise the amount you paid will be reverted to N0. i e assuming you've spent 6hrs and you paid N1,000, but did not leave after 17minutes you'll go back and pay another N1,000 before you'll be allowed to leave.
This happened to me last week... I lost my ticket but thank God I found it after going round to look for it, a Uber driver saw it on the floor and I was fortunate to ask him and he handed it over to me that was how i was meant to pay another N500 again because I spent over 15minutes after paying.

Lost of ticket is N5000.

MMA1 (Int'L Amount
0-1hr ---- N650
Extra 1hr.... I really don't know the actual amount.

All of these money you're paying will be added to your fare so dont be selfish or be too kind to anybody about it. Person wey get money to enter plan no be N500 go hard am to pay.

Nice info.

Airport trip wahala too much especially pick up, Very Early in the morning and Late night trip is the best time for me to work around that axis

eyinola:
My fellow comrades please i need una help , am typing this with full annoyance in my heart, so i picked one woman on indriver in April last year so we had a nice discussion from ikoyi to ikeja and she approached me if i can picked her for 2 weeks around Lagos because she's into media and owned a magazine as at that time she wants to organize a gala award night so i was driving her from one office to another , from one local government to another , from printingpress to graphix shop, at times igo from island to ikeja like 3 times and most times idon't get home till like 11pm..where i bleeped up then was that i accepted to collect my money all together after the 2 weeks which is 150K so now after the 2 weeks she issued me a cheque but the cheque bounced I called her what happen she said she was expecting Lagos island local govt to pay money to her acct but they didn't..to cut the story short since then someday she will give me 10K , 20K and that's after a lot of calling and treathening, she has paid 70K in total remain 80K since then it's been from one story to the other so last night i messaged her just saying hello as a reminder because she promised me December only for me to wake up to her blocking me on calls and watsap, I ran to her Instagram page to drop a comment and in less than 5 mins she has blocked me.. I want her to feel the heat plz comrades , ino wan make she rest I am ready to scatter that her nonsense award she claimed she's hosting up and down.. and she doesn't not hv s stable home because she was moving from one hotel to the other.

Since last year April? That’s way too long to recover debt. I understand the pain, time, money and effort wasted, but forget the money and move on brother. Take it as a lesson that would never repeat itself , I have had a similar experience. Mine was 90k in total after driving client around Lagos for 4 days, he paid half of the money 45k, he wasn’t with enough cash while in Lagos. I allowed him travel back to Delta state where he resides. The dude was so nice to me, he bought me food, we hung out together at so many places on the island with the chicks he invited to his hotel. For some many months he didn’t pay the balance and kept on posting me.

I forgot the balance, learnt my lesson and moved on. As God would have it he called me last year October and credited my account with the remaining balance. After 4 months of stories.

Since then I have sworn never to carry someone on credit again. Even if he or she likes buy me all the goodies in this Lagos. No way !!! That would never happen again.

Winter has come, everybody Dey write article on how to go start other side hustle. Some were advising us to go and park our cars at home due to recent Bolt fare slash and scarcity of ride request.

During festive period you guys were busy cashing out, Nobody remembered to write article or doing other side hustle .

Ghost advised we should work on Mondays and weekends only and use other days to do other hustle. BAAZ is saying to drive no dey hungry am again. He felt he has wasted his life driving. .

I am not against doing other side hustle. It’s multiple streams of income, but the truth of the matter is that in every business there is bullish and bearish period. You don’t expect the ehailing market to be bullish this period. January/February is usually not booming like other months. but if you re very experienced you can still make good money during this period. Strategy is the key.

Any business you cannot persevere and withstand the challenges that comes with it and succeed in a long run, when you try other business and when its challenges comes you would chicken out easily.

The problem with most of us is that we don’t set goals of what to achieve in this hustle. We wake up, hustle, make money and spend it as it comes believing tomorrow will take care of itself. We don’t save, we don’t invest. I have set a goal of #2million this year after all expenses. And by grace of God I will achieve it like the previous years.


Goals are essential to success. It gives you fulfillment when you attain it. my bank savings and investment is what keeps me going in this hustle. When I reach the pinnacle, I will quit.
