Hmmmmm, but I enjoy indriver o.
Especially as it's zero commission, if they are giving you ikeja to Ajah 2800 check other apps you will see that after commission you are better off with them.
I only wish they will have riders like bolt, I like their way at least you know what you will earn at the end of the trip.
Uber and bolt is full of uncertainty

How will you compare fare of bolt and uber to Inrubbish or whatever bros?

Imagine a trip of 4800 to 5k+ in case of traffic you collect 2800 and youre happy deduct your toll 200/300 thats remain 2600 or 2500 haba!

Just do the math and see how you lose 1200 out of that trip or more than that after you pay commission

I don't sometimes believe on new monikers here... They are likely to come here and course trouble and leave....

How will someone Gross 100k like in this season? How?

I dont know if its only me thinking that person must be a magician or he's picking dangote only as his request.

On my taxify/bolt my gross is 24k for the whole week oh and i work everyday. In these period if you net 10k a day, youre likely to be owning bolt 2k minus fuel 3,500k you eat 500N last but not the least, your chances of getting return trip to wherever youre living is just 2% so you must buy fuel 1k at least to take you home. E'vething sum up to 7k you only gain 3k.

Next money youll have to buy fuel 2k at least but remember youre already owning bolt 2k so they might turn off your cash trips after 2 to 3 cash trip on that day. Meanwhile uber is no go area because considering their 25%, if request take you to ikotun either cash/card on uber youre done cos your bolt that may rescue you is on card trips.

The work isnt worth it nowadays and dont let anybody come here and be telling people nonsense. Misleading car owners here and there.

Its isnt easy to invest and be seeing remitance of 10k_15k on car of 2m but then its global pandemic.

Supposed im on rental i wouldve jejely go and park the car to owner from first week and go into something else.

But this whole 2020 is for us to survive only 2021 we will be fine.

So to new moniker please stay tf and get your fact right

We shall survive this 2020

Felicity0001:
I actually thought I've seen it all only for me to experience the height of them all just few minutes back.

After buying and changing two tyers at ladipo, I got this request going to ketu.

I put a call through immidiately I entered the PU area. Rider said he was off the street but walking down to my location so I should drive down to No8 on thw street. Made a turn and parked in a safe place waiting.
After like 2min rider was no where to be found, I called again but this time he said I'd past him so I should come back a little, I was like but you said you're already coming why not just walk down and meet me up because this street is so narrow with double parking on it but rider said he was carrying a pot of soup along.
Me: a pot of soup?!! Sorry I'm not going.
R: ok, cancel.
I cancelled with the option of I don't wish to serve this rider.
Immediately after his request came in again, I've to accept with the vail of wait for 5min before cancelling but he cancelled. This happened like twice. The 3rd one I did likewise and while waiting for the 5min to cancel I saw a littlw boy within the age of 16-18 years.

R: with a rude voice, why do you keep accepting my request when you already said you're not going, can you cancel the trip.
Me: still trying to think of what to saynto the little boy due to its smallishness and rudeness and I that could entered my mind to tell h8m while he was still ranting at yhe top of his voice was "I'll cancel when I'm ok to do". It was like that was a bomb on his ears
R: are you fucking kidding me I said cancel.... He was still shouting and insulting.
I just looked at him and then started my car engine turned on the AC and rolled up.

This time it was like I fueled the whole thing. Boy started to hit my side glass, like he knew it will break he then started to hit the door and aide mirrow to an extend that the croom guilding the glass pulled of... At this time people around that knows him started coming n calling him.

One Bros he explained to walked to me to ask what happened but I just kept quiet didn't say a word for like 5min.

To cut it shot, everybody on the street gathered begging me and almost beat him up na me com dey beg for am las las.

One elderly Bros said, baba any action I want to take I should let them know they will support me.

I then said, "the society we live produce the kind of people in it, if an arm rubber comes out of the society part from it being a personal choice it's also a function of the society because some persons in the society support and encouraged that child when he started stealing before growing up to became an highway rubber, in a nut shell, you all didn't support him so that's enough".

I arranged the little damage he caused, thanked all of them while they all both old, age mate and young thanked me, entered my car, took a deep breath, drank the remaining bottle water left in my water bottle and off I went.

Sorry about your experience bro. Imagine small boy behaving like this! hmm i weep for these generation.

Lack of respect very rude set of people.

Naso that little useless girl of yesterday insulting me cos i asked her to wear facemask. Trip wey no reach 800naira.

She wan make i spend 5k+ for police and lastma

[1quote author=ekehopp post=90265937]Manner of approach is everything. Especially when na you need rating,
Advice on use of facemask the way you would advice The Governor, or a mentor if he/she was in your car.
Politely. You can even joke about it. Abeg no vex etc, police can give me wahala etc, plus its Uber rules etc[/quote]So governors or mentors don't listen to news?

Only in naija you'll have to be teaching adults how to use seat belt. At least 50% of drivers would've encounter riders(adults) insisting on not using seatbelts.

Imagine ordinary seat belt that will safe your life!

Baba even you kneel for them to wear face mask or use seat belt, some of them go still give you 1star.

Their star can't safe me from police, lastma and local government agberos.

#stay safe

So my experience today.

Got the request from Ozone Yaba, on Uber.

Me: hello got ur request I'm on my way to pick you up
R. Okay no p I'm waiting
Me. Zooom... arrived "A.c. off" waiting for her to come out. After 2 mins waiting, she's finally out.
R. I'm going to Cele hope no traffic.
Me. Okay I'm starting the trip and I'll check if there's traffic or not.
While checking gmap, I was telling her to put face mask on and fasten her seatbelt.

She fasten her belt put her face mask on her lap.

Me. I'm already driving towards murtala way. Naso I noticed she didn't put her face mask on.

I was like with due respect young lady, kindly help me wear your face mask even if you can't wear it, just hang it on ur jaw.

R. Haha oga what's this nonsense you be novice on this job abi you don't know say while you're in the car, you don't need face mask.

Me. In my mind I was like "ewo tun leleyi" which kind witch be this wey village people and uber send come meet me for Wednesday morning?

R. Oga have never used face mask since beginning of covid19 and nobody try to arrest or say anything to questioning me even I took uber yesterday I didn't wear it. "Oga please stop correcting me and drive"

Me. Just kukuma turn back! On heading to her pick up point she started saying shit I never respond so far I didn't ask you to pay no wahala.

Me. As i reached the coded hotel where I picked her at the back of ozone naso mallam security been asked wetting happen? Aunty just be on phone saying check the number I sent you you've to do something with your drivers.

I don write uber before I dropped her so make she even call buhari which I obviously knows say na saka call she dey make I no send her mama.

So my question is that why some driver thinks only about money and not their safety? How's she doing it without wearing face mask and entering uber/bolt.

Please let's keep necessary precautions na who dey alive go pay HP and Rental.

#Stay safe

ssoofftt:
he said 35k
since I don't know much about it can I meet up?
how much can I make for my self too?

Oga don’t be in haste to accept what’s going to lead you to BIG TIME EMBARRASSMENT.

Don’t let desperation spoil your integrity.

Suspend this hustle for now and find something else doing (my opinion). You’re new here, you don’t know what’s up with the roads, navigations, lastma, cbd and vio’s yet.

Wait till like June or July before you can think of collecting any car for UBER/BOLT.

About what you can remit, based on no experience just start with 10k weekly but I know your partner will never want to accept that.

Think twice before you’ll come here again and be asking of how much they’re selling bushings/shocks for Toyota Corolla.

Stay safe bro

mrjaydee:
Morning guys, mehn, why sleep come dey sweet me today like this? I'm on bed looking at both apps everywhere still white what's going on lol?

Dear e-hailing Driver. After LockDown what next?


Hi everyone, it’s good to write you again with raised optimism. I have a story to tell about the future of e-hailing (uber/ taxify and etc) business in Lagos. This is an advisory and you may choose to modify or ignore.

Please take a listen.

As the Federal Government in Nigeria is set to lift the statewide lockdown of Abuja, Ogun and Lagos on the 4th of May, it is yet to be known if e-hailing drivers (in Lagos) would get back to work.


However, as transportation is essential to movement from one point to another, we can anticipate that you would be allowed to operate.


One thing we are also certain about is the fact that the corona virus is here and we shall be living with it for a while.

Same also applies to the concept of social distancing which is being adopted.

As we await a more intricate description of the model of economic re-opening to be adopted by the Lagos State government, we can already project those businesses or livelihoods that will be toned down for a long time or completely redefined/lost as the new world order demands.

Yes, the unavoidable fact that nation’s across the globe are being compelled to remodel their lives for the foresable future while reserving a seat for the corona virus pandemic is undeniable.
And this will last until there is an acceptable vaccine worldwide.

So, back to the Crux of the matter,
As an e-hailing driver, this is not the time to be desperate or hasty.

We know the times are hard and we all need to heck a living for ourselves and families.


The e-hailing companies are going to through a lot of baits out at you, but do not forget that most of their staff would be working from home with little or no risk involved, minimal operational cost and no care or cover for you should an emergency arise. Or we await such announcements though.

My advice to all drivers goes thus:

1) BE INNOVATIVE: This is the time to be innovative. Spread your e-tantacles and think for yourself. There are many other things that can be done hands on to fetch you a living. Dig yourself into them and relax on e-hailing, it’s not likely to pay your bills for the next couple of months.

2) FORGET ABOUT RENTALS: If you rent a car to drive, I would candidly advice that you hold on for the next 3 to 4 weeks and watch the dynamics that would unravel.

Those who own vehicles can experiment and you would use their timeline and earnings to determine what is realistic to earn, pay, and save.

Night life is dead. Schools will remain closed. An estimated 50% of private businesses and employed persons will likely go temporarily or permanently jobless.
So what’s the rush.
A lot of partners would be pushing their cars on you right now, but you might be making a great mistake.

And if you must rent, cut you rental to no more than half what you paid before lockdown. I recommend 10k weekly for now.

3) HIRE PURCHASE: It is understandable that this is an intricate subject for those presently on higher purchase schemes.

But don’t be deceived by anyone, there has been a force majeure and the terms of your hire purchase payment can and should be redefined.
Get a good lawyer, get your driver associations or groups involved and make a good presentation.

I suggest you start by requesting to take the next month off, and use the analysis from that period to redetermine your realistic responsibilities to your principal.

I repeat again, don’t be deceived by anyone that the terms of your HP can’t be rescheduled under the present rearrangements we find ourselves.

4) PASSENGERS, RULES/RESTRICTIONS AND SAFE LIVING: Your personal health is your primary responsibility.

Stay SAFE!
God will protect us ALL

Na one Uber/taxify driver go carry this guy am sharing the link to airport oh.

Don't know his name

I called him he’s acting up and saying hello hello he cut the call and never picks again. But I’ll keep on calling him

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If I were you, I'll tell my partner that I'll drop the car for a week, so the agreement should be suspended for that week(at least the car is in his compound)

After all, agreement is agreement

Nobody knows what the coming week will be 10 new cases have been confirmed. Dollar is #380, and people are not going to work like before. Schools will not resume tomorrow

Just use this week rest and watch the tides of the business......My opinion [/color]

Thank you my brother.
God will help us all and I believe anyone reading this will learn too.

[color=royalblue]My sincere advise to drivers on rentals

If you know this pandemic will affect your rental fee, jejely go park the car for your partner house till this winter reduce

As long as you hold the car, just ready to dey remit the 30k weekly

Apply wisdom brethren [/color]

Baba what’s your advice on we on hire purchase? Cos this winter is affecting almost everybody

davit:
Bolt driver app is working now. Guys I had this funny experience at VGC yesterday night that I think I should share. Took rider to VGC, a resident. She used her access card at gate. I dropped her at home. Mind you she didn't put the correct address, so it was the usual turn right, turn left thing that got me to her place. On getting back to gate I was asked to supply Pin before I could drive out.
I know VGC requires Pin to enter but not to go out. Unfortunately for me, the rider didn't use pin to enter. Was asked to call the rider or go back to where I dropped her. Her number was switched off. I had no idea of where I dropped her. Na so local man got stuck inside VGC o.
I was there for more than an hour and saw other drivers who had same issue. I had to practically appeal to some of their ogas wey dey security post before I was let out o.

Lesson: When you drive to VGC, access card or not, make sure rider get you PIN o. All da best.

Sorry about that baba.
They just started that pin stuff two weeks ago and what you could’ve have done in such case is that you’ll simply go online on both app even add ocar join making 3 apps. Surely request will come to take you out instead of staying for 1 good hour. It’s happened to me, and I go online got request on bolt going to Lekki. The lady had to call her man or whatever to get pin for us to drive out.

Hello guys.

To let you guys know of my bad experience yesterday 18.03.2020 during a BOLT ride.

Picked up a rider at Alakija at about 7:30PM heading to Adeniji. Lagos Island, just five minutes into driving we were held in a thick traffic created by tanker and container trucks.

Just before we could get to Mashalachi junction, two able bodied men crossed over from the other side and started flashing torchlight into the car. Before we knew it, the driver window side was hit by a heavy object and the glasses was all over my body. Traces of blood was seen on body especially my hand.

Unfortunately, the rider 2 phones, 1 iPad, apple wrist watch, wallet and money was taken away from him.

Those thieves also went ahead to attack the car ahead of us. We were all helpless, even the presence of truck drivers was of no value as we expected a support from them.

Made a report to Bold through the app on support and got a call this morning from BOLT. According to the customer care, BOLT will NOT be able to do anything for the following reasons;
1. I was not registered for the BOLT shield.
MY ADVICE: Guys, if you can afford it, please do it. You won't know the importance until days like this.

2. My third party insurance can only over cover if another car was involved.

I continued with the trip because I had no other option but to drive him to his destination. Although on getting to Apple junction I ended the trip in other to keep my phone off sight.

Please lets be careful as we go about our daily routine and avoid some roads at night.

God bless the road.

Bro I felt really bad for your experience. And thank God for your life. But please you should always take precautions in this job.

Bros I can’t imagine how brave you could be to have accepted trip from alakija mad zone at night heading to adeniji red zone at night. On this great platform you must’ve learn one or two things about safety at night. Mushin, mile 12, adeniji and the rest wey angryigboman mentioned isn’t safe at all. If you think about the juicy pay and all think about your life too brother.

If something happened to our life’s May god forbid. But Uber taxify and partner will move on even the car you’re thinking of owning will become another persons car. Please be wise although nobody is perfect but please be aware of all these area most especially Eko bridge at night is nono also. May Almighty God continue to be with us and protect us. So sorry about your experience

I no talk say we no go work, I just dey point out how bolt staff run go hide their head come get guts to say we can continue driving. That one mean say their own life get value pass drivers life abi

My experience just now.

Lady: ok I’m here no problem
Lady: oga have tried it the thing no go be like say network no good.
Me: but you didn’t asked for my account details?
Lady: don’t worry have got to go inside I’ll come back with money
Me: I remembered a Uber driver they duped with same trick on same spot I had to gave the guy 2k out of 7200 they chopped him. Naso I told her politely ‘baby girl please you can’t go inside or otherwise drop your phone to your security since you said it’s your house then I’ll wait for you’
Lady: what’s this rubbish why will I dropped my phone will I run will i this will I that.
Me: don’t let me take it up with you. With the statements you’re altering. Please drop your phone to him... before I know it with her voice many people don gather.
Oga kilo happen wetting happen you park for road at least clear. Naso I told them what happened. People begin talk their stories and all the securities started saying their part how those girls used to dupe drivers and drivers will hold security responsible.
To cut the long story short, las las the lady no get shishi. See shame na zazari hotel manager bail her out. I wish everybody safe in good health. May god continue to be with us and protect us all.

Your condenser is leaking somewhere. Try and find ac specialist or buy new condenser
