Guys I want to ask instead of the stress of paying.. why not work on app trips till you cover the cash deficit range....and they will automatically return you back to cash trips... is it not possible,??

radautoworks:
In seeing linkages and bushings.

Okay. Next question. What cars do you drive and how many years on average so you see yourselves using those cars?

northbird:
Send the mail again.

At times d bolt guys seemed overwhelmed wt work, so sending again makes it look new.

Bigleaf1006:
Yes I agree things could be tight for a while, however transportation sector is often one of the least hit sectors even in a recession after food.

It's going to be a win win at the end, cos market had been saturated before now and things need to shake up a little to achieve equilibrium,some would stay and some would def leave.

If the law on over crowding in commercial buses can be enforced,I see transport prices in that segment going up, cos the driver's need to make up for the unoccupied capacity hence people turning to e hailing, commercial buses will be worst hit.

Even with the lockdown,private cars could move around more easily than the buses.

If drivers could survive winter months,I don't see them not surviving this.

Bigleaf1006:
I feel rental should remain same!!

I believe those wanting to invest right now or take up HP should rather hold on and see how things pan out.

Eizenburg:
I believe there’s already an option to split your fare and carpool, most people would just rather split the fare within themselves than use the built in app feature.

Carshopper:
Good assumptions but I believe reverse will be th case.

The Lagos state government has said company should run 60% staffing.

This 60% will be very cautious of how they transport to work. Most will prefer having a dedicated ride take then to n fro.

Also there will still be PEAK highs (Morning rush n Evening rush). I would wan to think if the app company would implement the POOl ride share system to increase driver earnings - So two colleagues from same office or location can POOl ride and each pays their amount independent of the other.

Concerning rental fee, most owners will hold off their cars getting to work, cuz they will weigh the benefits over maintenance or other KPI.

Now isnt the time to think Partner reducing rental fee but a time partner and driver working together to benefit each other.




Drivers can latch on to dedicated pick up and drop off at a fixed cost. You can get colleagues working in d same environment (2 per pick up or drop off) and charge a fixed rate of say 2k per Person (as you wish).




The worrisome part is the driving witout ac.. bad odour will be at its HIGHEST

Bigleaf1006:
There was a huge fire in a fuel station with explosions and what do you expect, people should sit their arses at home in the name of lock down when disaster is lurking right in your backyard. This incident happened quite a few blocks from where I stay, though I wasn't home.

This is typical naija for you and it could happen anywhere. Real physical social distancing will be very difficult to achieve in Africa and even more so in one of the most densely populated city in the world.

These is still a pointer to the manifest failures of the goverment. The system has failed everyone and will continue to.What you see there is palpable fear in the people thinking the fire could raise down the whole neighborhood, though misplaced,I must confess.Abule Ado still readily comes to mind.

Goverment should make laws and enforce them,if laws are in place and appropriate sanctions applied to deviants, everyone would fall in line.But what do we have,lacuna everywhere due to iresponsibilty of government.

abeg o! Somebody made away with a red 2008 Range Rover sport from the car lot next to the fuel station while trying to evacuate the cars during the fire, abeg we dey find am.This is no joke!!

deedee44:
It happened to my in-law, his temperature was a bit high so they asked him to sit under their canopy for a while before testing him again

chillex8:
I don’t drive on uber/Taxify.
But a mail was sent to that effect.

chillex8:
Even before lockdown. There was no air conditioning.

deedee44:
please do you have any idea how much they sell that thing that looks like gun that they use to test people's temperature. I don't know the name.. Digital thermometer
If it's affordable na to dey test riders before giving them access into the car

sexylassie2:
if bolt opens be ready to get your free Bolt Protect, your car will be fitted with a protective plastic film of nylon installed between the passenger and driver seats. This will act as a precautionary barrier that limits the airflows between the driver and passengers thus reduces the possibility of the virus spreading through droplets expelled by sneezes or coughs from an infected person.

sexylassie2:
Which President announced this?

sconp:
Hmmm, How are you sure she never had coro? Or maybe she did and recovered?

deedee44:
Haba bolt no bad like that na. They mailed me, asking me to pay the money I'm owing them. Very foolish people

deedee44:
Me and you are in the same shoe right now
Only difference is, my landlord has called. I missed her call so I summoned courage and called back, she said she only wanted to ask about my safety as she heard that 1 million boys came around. She didn't talk about rent, what a nice and understanding woman. I love her

Felicity0001:
And What is this one called, a response?

I pity your present and future loneliness.

Go pray for the sick and hungry they need it more at this time.

pope191:
Boss many Lagosian have it and they don't know, we have internal problems to tackle including Kano, but it seems USA is our major problem.

pope191:
Its a 2 way things, you r right about ppl not wanting to come out, but if u know ur customers very well, u will somehow get by and beside I'm thinking ppl will b scared of public transport in as much as there is no money in circulation, but safety is paramount. Sighting myself as example, I'm yet to take bike since the lockdown, if I'm not driving or in a private car, then trekking is d surest mode to my destination.

Bigleaf1006:
I really fear for naija right now, with the rains coming, the virus can escalate with drop in temperatures combined with humidity!!

Guys!! we really need to be careful. I am thinking of laminating my car seats so it will be easy to disinfect and also sanitizer is a must for riders now.

I give you sanitizer every 10mins,it's no joke.

Babadee1900:
Oga landlord will wait, he has no choice.

Good morning.

Babadee1900:
Guys permit me to digress....

Will Lagos agents/landlord understand that the reason why you are defaulting in house rent payment is because of COVID19?

.....because come June ending I have to renew rent and from the look of things presently, homeboy may default.

ChoCho54:
Buhari never hid his nepotism, so no surprise.

Myfoodwarehouse:
Hello,
We are an online grocery shop currently looking for drivers to do delivery for our firm. We are part of the essential services allowed by the government so you don't need to worry as we would give you a temporary ID as our contractor.
Take advantage of the downtime to make some good money.
Our rates for delivery are competitive and negotiable.
Send a dm or drop your contact and I would reach out to you.

One thing that would never change on nairaland is people being eager to show off their level of smartness an knowledge which often turns out to be a deep abundance of stupidity.
Now let me ask you these Oga.
Must I be part of something before I understand their basic modes of operation?
Did I quote you with the question? If it seemed silly to you or you don't fully understand, why not act mature and educated, ignore it.
It's not right to always open your mouth, especially if not being directly spoken to.
Best of luck.

gsparks01:
You're right, since those doing the construction are not people but Droids.

sofdoc1:
Good morning guys. How does Uber/Bolt take their commission when the rider pays in cash? If they do from your current balance online, what if you have not have a card trip for sometime and they cannot deduct their commission from your account balance?
