But Google dey pronounce am as 'rut' .

My own map dey pronounce am 'row tu'.
Even my dictionary dey pronounce am as 'row-tu' (as in ra-hoo-t). Na there I draw my conclusion from.
Much respect, baba.

Not a bolt fan boy, but Bolt surely still have its perks. Was surge today at lekki phase 1 cause of heavy traffic. Did a 1300 trip on indriver for close to 1hr 30 mins, quickly switched to bolt...lol. Same trips on bolt was double the price

Nothing is wrong with bolt, just their huge commission rate (25%).
Additionally, if rider cancels, your score suffers it. Na the major problem I (personally) have with bolt be that.
If rider cancels on InDriver, nothing happens to you. Even your money will remain intact.
@the bold; maybe you also joined the fastest finger race to have picked such ride. You don't just jump and accept any ride request on InDriver, you must know what you want to accept.
Distance to location is very important and the price that follows it.
You need to study what CheerfulGee always posts. That brother posts the actual strategies to handle InDriver. I'm surprised my operations on InDriver is very similar to his which I've learned more from his posts as well, but that man na Jagaban on bolt and InDriver.
Please no dey rush accept rides on InDriver.
Dey always check time to destination and pick up, then price - but don't be slow and still, don't join fastest finger challenge.
Much respect, boss man.

MODIFIED: I've read your responses further.

RedField008:
What is this Lasdri and Hackney??

Hackney - license for commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles are used to transport people/loads.

LASDRI - Basically for driving training. And you must have the ID card to show that you went for the training. Na there dem do educate drivers on road signs. Rules/laws of the road. Offenses and penalties on road as a driver.
Much respect, boss man.

Indriver Trips can be vetted on demand to ensure they were fulfilled. Cos on Indriver u can accept trip and end it. and d fare will reflect as if it was completed even though u didn't do the trip.

On Indriver, if the driver clicks arrive and stays on that spot without moving and he cancels the ride, that's how to cancel on Indriver, but your commission will be held for 10days before you get it back.
If the driver clicks arrive and he moves from that place for like 50 meters, Indriver takes it as an already on-the-move ride.
Much respect, boss.

CheerfulGiver:
You still don't get it.

Human psychology. Riders trust indriver more because no surge. They'll rather pay higher on in driver unknowningly/knowningly, than use bolt.

I just did a 30min trip from cmd to surulere for 3k.

It was 1700 on Bolt. Drivers were cancelling on him. How will you collect 1700, and still pay 25%? No be juju be be that?

The idea is to milk the 10% commission till they start pride. Bolt started from 0%. We know as e dey go. Pride must enter Las Las, and they'll still crash. I'll rather gross 30k and pay 2850, than gross 30k and pay 7500 on Bolt because of loyalty. I'm loyal but my mom raised no fool. I can never be loyal to no app. Bolt makes like difficult. They deserve no loyalty.

My problem with bolt, from the beginning, even when I was a rider, is the 25% commission they take, dem come add this driver's score + acceptance rate fire to it.
If rider cancel, you get the fault and you will suffer your scores.
Much respect, boss.

I picked one Indian man and I literally couldn’t breathe in my car. I had to put my face outside my window to drive. I can tolerate their usual garlic smell but this dude dey smell like someone wey bathe with carbide abi sulphur.

SamuelTaiw0:

Okay, baba.
I don holla back.
Much respect, boss.

SamuelTaiw0:
Glithronix pls check your mail. I sent you a mail.

I've responded, baba.

SamuelTaiw0:
Because they'll ask for your hackney permit to use your car for commercial activities. Reason why they say you should avoid them. They even profile drivers, so if you're driving a big daddy or a pure water, you are most likely an Uber driver. Opening your mouth to tell them means you shot yourself in the leg.

Nice one, baba.
Well noted.
Much respect, boss.

donbrowser:
You have lasdri?
You have hackney?

I have lasdri and all that's required of a driver but no Hackney.
And sorry, boss, why they say you should never tell them you're a Uber/bolt driver?
Much respect, boss.

SamuelTaiw0:
Glithronix pls check your mail. I sent you a mail.

Good evening, boss.

Much respect, bossman.

Much respect, boss.

Conner44:
Ahn- Ahn this one na lie jor. If only two or three people sit at the back without anything heavy in the boot it shouldn’t go down low like that na lol, well except the vehicle already has bad shocks or it’s the sport trim of the accord (most sport version vehicles have their springs lowered by an inch or so from factory)

The thing is Honda and Acura engineered their vehicle suspensions from a certain year and models in such a way that instead of the rear springs to take the full weight of the occupants and load the camber would also ‘flex’ so that it can bear a fraction of the load, this also makes the vehicle more stable on high speeds while fully loaded.

I think that’s why Honda rear shocks last a lot longer than usual in.

All the Accord of that year I always see are like that ooh. Even without loads in the booth.
It is well sha.
I like the details you shared here.
Much respect, boss.

foshe36:
Please pardon me.. they were asking for a back side.. how done go about it please?

The back of the paper is plain, snap it like that and upload it.
Much respect, boss.

Conner44:
Chai! I’m really pitying you I hope you didn’t get an abused vehicle for this e hailing business but even if you did you can still rectify your issues with the right help. Go to the Honda maintenance thread in cartalk and answer my queries so I can try to help you.

Honda accords are wonderful and strong vehicles especially the 2008 and above versions. Anybody that tells you otherwise is doing so out of ignorance.

As beautiful and sexy this Honda Accord is ('08 upwards), the comma wey I see on it is, if just two persons sit in the back, the car will go low and it will almost be touching the back tyres.
I don't think it is absorber stuff, cos all Honda Accord cars I see are always like that.
Why?
Much respect, boss?

Barbiturate:
This mumu girl ordered me from Anthony village. Got to her location. Called her and she said that's not her location. I asked for the exact location, she said GT. I was just trying to reverse back from the street beside zenith, then she cancelled the ride. As I was about to enter the road to go turn round and get down at Anthony inward palmgroove, her order came again. I was in a little traffic on the road to GT. She called and asked where I was, I said in the traffic along Anthony village road. Before I got there, she cancelled again. As I was approaching the bank, the order came again the 3rd time. I got to GT, entered and parked well, then she came out and saw me and then went in to call the 2nd lady she was with. They wasted time....it was almost about 5 mins wait time. They came out and were trying to open the door. I already locked it. Immediately it entered 5 mins, I just cancelled it. They were hitting the car for me to open. I wind the glass down and asked why they were hitting my car, they said they ordered me. I asked her; "ordered who? Pls don't hit my car again". She checked and saw I had cancelled. She hissed and told the other lady; abeg make we dey go!

Yes, we take shit in this biz but there are some I really can't take

Another hoodlum craze is learnt here.
Thank, boss.
Much respect, baba.

Duplik8t77:
I get your point boss. But I have seen orders that show 2km on indriver and about 6km on the map. And I think indriver orders depends on where you position yourself. I was at ogba for about 1hr with no pop up from indriver. I had to just make peace with bolt so I could leave there. Indriver is great especially with their low commission. Bolt na ripper. Lol. God bless you bro

@the bold - Good idea, bolt comes to play in such situation.
1hr without a close-by order is very rare. And yeah, sometimes, a 2km order changes to longer distance on map, it's a case of where one is positioned, then you can ignore such order and wait for closer ones.
If you pick such order, while other drivers are bidding for it, the rider could ignore you and accept the driver that's close to him/her. While your order is loading, you may end up seeing some close-by orders coming up but you won't be able to accept until the one wey you accepted finish loading.
Try hustling more in the night on Indriver.
Na inside my room I dey always get my 1st order in the morning on Indriver, that's how I dey always start my hustle.
You said in your initial comment that Surulere is a hotcake, you were right. Surulere and many other hot places.
Dnt worry, Indriver will sink bolt and Uber together soon. If you notice, there are more new users springing up on Indriver on daily basis. Time will tell.
Much respect, baba.
