so in your head the economy doesn't affect passengers? pack up then. Nigerians have been moving even before e-riding came. you guys are not so special after all. The country is hard and you have a small people of middle class who can afford your services yet you still want to bill them till they can't afford it anymore. Increase the price and nobody uses the services anymore by then una go rest

Oga u must not use cab. U can fly bike. AC is comfort not with ur 2naira trip u want to relax at d back with AC. Iz not excursion naw . Just get to ur destination. There r basic and comfort trip.

When those senseless folks were busy uploading incomes dashboard last year and previously and the rest , they don't know this Companies have people watching and reading everywhere. Now they have all worked together to reduce all prices and here we are .
Please those folks uploading incomes dashboard should continue ooo , they say its not show off but motivation..

See the results now

What are you talking about. How does posting dashboard affect anything now . Alaye fuel prices increased deal with it. Did d base fare reduce? Prices have not reduced dey just remained d same. If u must blame anyone blame d war in Iran.

Jamie90:
He obviously would have. It’s that guy that posted his story about how he nearly got jumped on TikTok. He is a night driver

Okay yes someone posted a pic of it here. Iz well. Night work is not worth it. If the price was a bit higher but iz not. Iz worse sometimes

Jamie90:
Na juicy trip cause am. I don’t see a reason why a driver will be going to any suburb by midnight.

A driver said he hasn’t seen his friend who took a trip back to his base from VI to Awoyaya. It’s been 6 months, no car, no body seen.

Hmmm. Has he reported to the police about his missing friend?

Jamie90:
Just hearing reports of a car hijacker thar shot an ehailing drivers yesterday night at Ogijo, Ikorodu and he died on the spot.

This hustle isn’t worth the risk of driving at night. Not like these drivers net 200k per night or anything close.

.

Bro that night waka na very risky thing mehn. Even if u dey run night y u go dey go ikorodu for night unless he lives there himself

Sad

Eazilyfe:
I dey that Major repair phase now, na just fan stop to blow and e don affect Compressor and gear box. Upon say i don repair the fan today, i still get a lot to spend tomorrow

Hmmm .

Sorry my G. God will make it easy for you and me.

Jamie90:
Add 3500 to this amount and less 30k fuel. Is this in anyway sustainable?

So from ur calculations ur car is not working optimally for a 1.8L. it's doubling like I painted in the two scenarios. 10k making 20k now cause of the increment.

Ur 30k making 60k. Honestly this is about what my 2.5L makes me suing my AC on full blast. I don't think it's sustainable cause calculating depression and maintenance....

Yes u r making money but when the real wear and tear comes. It won't be sustainable. Just one major repair from bankruptcy

God no go shame us

Glithronix:
95% of my trips na long trips (mainland to island and vice versa).
If you're using 2.4L engine car, avoid short-short trips.

Btw, when fuel was 700-and-something naira, we dey rugged am, now wey it's almost 1300, e no make sense at all.
Person go open app. and start seeing crap prices, I go just go back home jéjé.
I gat other things doing, abeg.
The hustle is not motivating like before.
Abeg tomorrow na our sallah day, make me and my fam dey arrange against tomorrow.
See the bonus target the weyrey people give me below.
E no go berra for these people, I swearr.
Make e expire fast-fast and comot for my face.
Make the hustle dey one side for now, abeg.


Much respect, baba.

Honestly bro. That's one thing I discovered short trips are useless now for bigger engine csrs. Targeting long good trips are better.

Honestly I will leave this hustle for now. And get a smaller car maybe cng. But I believe with the right tools u will do fine regardless of fuel price.

Indrive very anyhow app

Iz well bro. All things work together for good.

Much respect

abefeabebi:
Who know about indiriver CNG package,I saw the advert and trying to read it before it disappear

Yes iz a subsidized cng conversion. Price is 550k or so. But u pay in full

Jamie90:
How many km do you suppose a civic will cover with 8 litres driving around Lagos with AC and what is the average price of each km on indrive.

Not waiting for any juicy trip.

For me 350km-400km for a civic with 1.8L is average.

TUBLEZ:
if person wan continue with this hustle na to consider change car ooo 🤔 because the comfort price gan na still rubbish

Very big rubbish. Changing cars is the adaptability needed for this bizness now or cng. Else driver go complain tire. App go dey say sorry dey cash join

TUBLEZ:
omoh with my 2.4L engine na die ooo

Bro I'm using a Rav with 2.5L omoh mehn no be small calculations.

If one cannot cng then getting a 3 cylinder car is priority for any seasoned driver

Cause mehn Iz crazy

Jamie90:
Then you must mean that my civic is a fuel guzzler because this business is no longer very profitable. In fact, I don’t consider making what invested as fuel as profit profitable.

Less 20% depreciation from every daily profit and recalculate. Note: Assest depreciation is different from maintenance budget.

Off course asset depreciation is calculated separate from maintenance budget. I'm just saying that via calculations. 1.8L fueling with 10k would give u 40k. I'm assuming all thing being equal and car is in top shape. Catalyst converter installed etc. even without the catalyst or car not optimally performing let's say 30k. But now with the increment same 1.8L would give you 30k. and 20k respectively for the car not optimally performing.

Yes I see your point tho when it comes to maintenance budget. The depression is yearly calculation but the maintenance budget would eat into it all

So it means it favours 3 cylinder 1.6L cars cng or electric

Glithronix:
So, if i worked, I no go know wetin caused the traffic abi? 🙄

But bro seriously how u dey run am. Big daddy na 2.4L abi. Abeg show me way ooo.

Much respect

Pearl1910:
If u guys are still working with the high fuel and low prices it means it still pays, so why all d complaints. And how will d app coys know that u guys need a raise?
It is well o

As in.

But let's be honest sha. This bizness even as it is presently is very profitable for 3 cylinder cars and 4 cylinder cars not beyond 1.8L. or electric or cng cars

It just affected the profit margin doesn't mean there isn't still profit.

You also can't blame the app companies cause dey won't take d drivers serious.

Noone is a fool. The people working know they are making profit and actually dey r

Glithronix:
Before you input the price, turn off your location.
Then turn it back on after inputting the price you want.



Much respect, baba.

Hmmmmmm

Kaymax2222:
I am in fool support because at the end those that are working right now will still benefit from what all of us are fighting for

Don't mind him. Everybody wants to enjoy but not sacrifice. Like I don't want to also work but I intentionally sit at home.

Iz for the common good

Shimmaa:
I'm not in support of this, it doesn't make any sense

I'm not seeking ur support or anyone's support bro. We are under a union as long as u r ehailing and Must Adhere to union rules

I don't understand how riders r able to input ridiculous prices. My own passenger platform won't let me input a price of even 20k to ajah market from my location but this rider can input 14k to same location.

Note my location from d other rider location is not more than 4km or less As I'm on college road his in Iju road Iz my platform different

E pain am.

Dude drove 15 mins to my location. Plus he mistakenly hit ave arrived button before leaving so I'm sure the trip started by d time he got to my location.

E really pain ammm

Some don't know genuinely .

Now he knows

Front page Seun!!!!!!

Pearl1910:
Alot of people have converted to CNG, have got burnt but will not come and talk about their experience because they were warned not to do it.

I wish u do it and have a good story to tell us here in d coming days.

I most definitely will bro. And will post when I do. By His special Grace

TUBLEZ:
one is coming to pick me now 😆 19 mins to my location è remain 9mins, once e remain 3 minutes i cancel

.

Haas but 19mins poverty is bastard

Jamie90:
Just seeing this one on Facebook. Even 25 minutes?? This is why I say some people are destined to be poor.

25 minutes is at least 5k ride.

25 mins. Haaaaa

Poverty is a state of mind first.

Jamie90:
Someone already drove for 16 minutes to come and pick me up. Me wey dey play FIFA.

I didn’t even know some drivers drive that long to pick up.

Just imagine the slave mentality. Bro u r doing d Lord's work

Latonal1:
Driver's are online how can we stop them

They are really online ooo....By wasting their time and fuel today so help me God

I don dey set trap.

I go waste many drivers fuel today

Great drivers on this platform. Morning

Please make no one on app biko. Let this strike strike well for d head of these wicked apps.

By His grace we shall conquer

U

Glithronix:
I'm not against the strike, but I hope it won't later result in government intervention.
And when government comes in, y'all know what next.
Nigeria government fit even get hand in all these things wey those apps they dey do in order for them to wade in.

BTW, I neva believe say there's going to be any protest/strike action until it happens sha.




Much respect, baba.

Yes u r right but strike is still d only way. Let's every driver on this naira land platform heed d Clarion call.

Make we all join hand ensure this strike works by not switching on app tomorrow.

Kaymax2222:
if your engine valve is ticking already and it not even noticable to you once you switch to cng the ticking will increase because the little lubrication that petrol provides is not there anymore I myself have been making research on it bro this is fact. There is a reason why I stayed up to like a week with them in there conversion center cos I was even interested in learning the conversion

Yes I agree to this. That if iz already tapping. But for a normal engine it makes increases iz life span. I'm willing to take d risk
