This thing is called ride sharing for a reason. Not all of us want to drive all day and pick 10 riders before we make something reasonable. If na two trips at a reasonable price, then fine. Going by the logic of the business, nobody would share their rides with the current rate.
Its called ride sharing but we changed the narrative here in Nigeria. That's why Gazzuzz insists that it was rentals was never designed for it which is true

The aim was to share rides. But will a driver who's supposed to deliver 30k be fine with just two trips in a day? Let's work with reality

Corollas and camrys are littered everywhere and we still struggle for requests despite the horrible #500 minimum. And we still believe that if the fares are increased even by 2%, we will be fine?

Make we dey realistic Abeg

This is so off point. Prices were never 4000 from festac to VI. Why should it be now? That's not the kind of increase we are talking about. Maybe 20-25% increase from what we have now. Festac to VI should not be less than 3k.
Okay

And you think the same number of riders will remain?

Maybe we should ask uber why they slashed by 40% in the first place
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by izzou(m): 5:45pm On May 13, 2019
Epphy:
From #2,300 to #4,000 is an exorbitant hike. A 20% rise would not be so felt by riders while drivers would be a bit more satisfied e.g a 3k trip rises to #3,600. But if they have good reasons not to raise the rate ATM, at least do other things like commission reduction, bonuses etc.
Exactly

When uber started, Festac to vi was about 4k and riders were on the increase, nobody complained u til they slashed by 40%.

The red cabs where also available and were more expensive, majority of the people consider comfort before price, it's just now that you see plenty olosho's using it and their main concern is price.
So the question is: Are more riders on the platform now than before? Or is it the same number of riders that are still on the platform?

I'm not saying they fares are fair, but increasing will reduce riders...

If the fares are this low, and we complain of low requests, what happens when it's increased? Look at it from another angle sir

gobuchinny:
Very sound write up but a tad flawed. India and Nigeria are very similar..the issues we face in this country are faced in india hence economists love to do comparative analysis with both countries

Uber prices are cheap everywhere they establish. ,they thrive on comfortability and affordability but in Nigeria the fares are ridiculously cheap, so cheap that even some riders will pity drivers..I disagree that if fares are increased a bit rider will leave..alotta people take the trips not just because it's cheap but for convinence..personally I take it when I don't wanna drive not because of cost.

Yes fares must be kept at a low rate to ensure more riders board their services but not ridiculous as it is now...its ridiculously low bro..uber/taxify r exploiting the desperation of the Nigerian youth dats all grin
Quick question: If the fares were increased, would you still consider taking it? Or would you drive?

Ask yourself this question...The people who take uber to work, how were they going to that same work before uber came to Nigeria?

Festac to VI is #2000 to #2300. Raise it to #4000 and see those riders vanish. The ridiculously low fares is what is keeping uber, drivers and partners in business

People requesting for rides at the airport: Are airport cabs not convenient? Why are they requesting uber then?

but you and Mjosh1000 are using the brands na
I do only Bolt and they don't have such stringent restrictions like Uber

People use it. But the model is the issue. A good number of models of those brands have been axed by Uber. So make sure the one you're using is accepted before you buy it

I was privileged to pick him today

We talked about a lot. From his tenure to his victory, the current situation of security in Nigeria. He even sat at the front with me..... Such humility

I also told him about our challenges and he promised to talk to Amaechi about it. I dropped him off somewhere at Ijora

The writeup summarizes what the situation very well. But if fares can't be increased, some other things can be done to improve the income of drivers like bonuses (with less difficult conditions) and reduction of commission to about 10-12%.
Exactly

Less commissions, bonuses, incentives and welfare of drivers if they can

Increasing fares will make everyone lose out at the end

I've been reading everyone's opinion on strikes and all that. But here's my take on the issue

IT CANNOT WORK. THE DAY IT WORKS, ITS OVER FOR E-HAILING IN THIS COUNTRY

Let us look at it from the App companies view

1) They have so many cars on the platform. Bolt has over 2000 cars registered. The only they can supposedly keep all of them in business is to get more rider. Yes, MORE RIDERS. And how can that be achieved? Low fares grin

2) The primary reason (I stand to be corrected) why a large number of people use uber and bolt is because IT IS CHEAP. Forget comfort that we all shout. Gbagada to Ikeja is like #1000. Even a bike or Danfo won't charge that for a charter. Some of the riders you pick have cars in their compounds, yet they request you, and yoh think it's comfort? Nah grin I don't think so

Imagine Uber and Bolt increasing the fare. A lot of us here won't do 20 trips in a month. Look at your ride history. It's filled with trips from #500 to #1500. Increase the fare and see all those people disappear

We live in a Third World, where the gap between the rich and poor is wide, and where the percentage of low income earners are far more higher than we can imagine

Uber/Taxify can only survive here if they make the middle class and low income earners a priority.

true talk bro. I’ve done the tinted permit it didn’t cost me more than 5k. Tinted permit is actually free but u know as bail is free. I got my permit since January but yet to tint my car. I don’t want unnecessary stopping that’s why.
I use a tinted car and as long as you have the permit, you're good to go.
