Don't take Eko bridge at all, just follow iddo to wherever you're going, if you take Eko bridge, you can spend 3hours there o...

Thanks sir.

Pearl1910:
Yea...if it's offline. Forget, if na offline I sabi road. But I doubt a rider will agree my offline price to that side. Better to see 20k on app than to be dragging 10k with rider

Baba, that offline get as e be sometimes. Na cheating

Omoapena:
Avoid taking eko bridge to mainland, they have blocked the road from that ramp that leads to costain, the traffic choke o

Thanks boss. I hope they didn't block the ramp to costain?

Johnchrix:
Two trips you don change car engine.

E never reach to change engine. I don't know now, but years back, they used 505 peugeot to ply sokoto from oyo/ibadan, especially during nysc orientation camp when demands are high.

Pearl1910:
Thanks Chief!
Everybody should save this. Nobe tomorrow u go say "house how much should I charge from Lagos to sokoto"? After that u no go come pay dues.

Lagos to sokoto go reach 500k.

I know the tricks on the platform. I hardly ever call, I use their chat feature 90% of the time. Been a year on and off that platform so I doubt if I can be described as new...they essentially make drivers pay for glitches in their system. A friend of mine's bank card was debited without having his account wallet credited, I assumed he didn't follow the due process until it happened to me after using the same recharge procedure for 9months. The new one wey dey bust my head are rides cancelled by passengers not appearing on trip history, under normal circumstances they don't debit accounts in such circumstances as long as a call wasn't made but lately...they do so at random without even adding the value to the refund balance. The way I track these is by scrutinizing balance statistics. Drivers go hear am once they get significantly higher market share.

Baba, how can I like your post thrice? Especially the one in bold. It shows you sabi the drill. Na siddon look I dey like this.
Majority of my riders usually say I'm very calm. In my mind, I will respond; before nko? How person wey don swim inside ocean go come see lafenwa river dey fear water? Na. Make indrive continue!

mh53:
Indrive as a platform will be worse than bolt with the way things are going. Their customer care is incompetent and unwilling to handle refund related issues properly. I have three pending refund issues that are systematically being swept under the rug by them. From due Refunds not appearing in wallets to cancelled rides mysteriously disappearing from ride logs after Driver wallets have been debited. I don’t know if it’s because they don’t have a physical office here that they are misbehaving like this. Rida which was a great alternative was nuked by their useless update. This whole thing is annoying.

Sorry about your experience. I hope they are responding, even if they are yet to implement your concerns. Their priority is riders and not drivers. It's quite unfortunate but it's the reality.

MrReeseG:
Omo!!

Lost both tires on my right side yesterday night on Orchid Road. I no know where I go see tire buy like this.

2 tires! Sorry about the experience.
Readadream shared a number recently of a guy in Lekki selling tires. I hope he opens on Sundays?
Besides, how did you get home?

Pearl1910:
Island to Yaba: u must follow Carter bridge or Eko bridge. I can confirm Adekunle ramp inward Yaba has been closed.

You can still connect Gbagada, Anthony, Maryland from Thirdmainland bridge.

Tejusosho Bridge has been opened since last week, I passed there on Saturday.

Thanks for the update sir.

Glithronix:
Sure, baba.
No loyalty to any of them.
I don talk am before say if indrive start one strange rubbish that doesn't favour drivers tomorrow, I go improvise straight.
Na cos they're doing normal some of us still dey cruise on them smoothly.
Paying in advance is even better than owing in advance.
Also, automatic starting a ride is on the driver nahhh. It won't just start automatic. Maybe una never capture am.
It loads before it starts which I have discovered long time ago.
So, when it's loading like that and I am yet to get to PU point, I will cut it (repeatedly) and I will keep my eyes on it till I get to PU point.
When you get to PU point, it will not start again until you leave, or you press "start ride" by yourself.
See screenshot below. I just saved it that time I discovered it. It's been long.

Much respect, baba.

Thanks, Glithronix for this exposition. Sometimes, I can't prevent the auto-start due to concurrent events like using the map to the pick-up location, and at the same time, an impatient rider calling to know where you are.

Pearl1910:
I dont think u should abstain from voting or be docile about politics. It should be a crime. That's why a Buhari, Tinubu and most likely an Atiku will become President of Nigeria. If less than 10% of the population decides for u and I. This 10% are largly illiterates, and people who aren't informed enough to make d best decision. if we continue this way, we can't have it good by any standards.
Johncris has a right to choose his preferred candidate and be vocal about it irrespective of his financial situation. I prefer that to a sycophant, a hypocrite or a bootlicker 💯 times over. Even if I am at the verge of starvation, I wouldn't agree to work for a killer, corrupt politician. It's not wisdom, it's lacking values.
Don't be influenced by any mob, find a good man with a good record, integrity and transparency, a man that fears God and support him. That way even ur adversaries will not have anything bad to say about u. Better to support someone who will lose than to stay on d sidelines and watch a thief and an incompetent man take over your common wealth.

I agree there is nothing we can do again, but that doesn't stop us from discussing our problem while thinking if solutions.

This!

Glithronix:
The bold is what some drivers do on indrive and they will come here and complain that indrive debited them.
The only two scenario you will not be debited on indrive are:
(1) when you cancel immediately you accepted a ride with I refuse to take this ride, your money will not be removed at all.
(2) when you arrive PU point and waited the 5 minutes then cancel with rider didn't show (this will take your money to refund wallet).
Any other cancellation aside those two will take your money.
Back to yesterday's surge on bolt. I dropped a rider at Mende Maryland yesterday and I parked there to get order, omoh, come see as orders wanted to kill my phone. I was like what is happening?
My mind just said make I check bolt app, omoh, everywhere red like chilli pepper. I was like, oooh no wonderrrrrr.
That's why I made the comment yesterday about bolt drivers being quiet like say we no know wetin dey sup that yesterday.
Awón lowkey millionaires ika.
Omoh, everywhere red like mad.

Much respect, boss.

Baba Glithronix, there's no loyalty to any of these apps. Anyone that guarantees more returns at any given time is welcomed. Indrive get hin own palaba, e.g that automatic start is very annoying. Also, now you have to pay in advance.

dapotemi:
Honestly no, I don't have control over what johncris would 'put mouth' or not to...I was qualified as at 1999 to vote but I have NEVER VOTED before, till date!!..so the issue of kinsman or not is not true...I am particularly weary of Nig politics having worked closely with a politician before..From experience on the field, I find out that Nigerians do not really care about who is in power so far they can get crumbs..The people supporting Tinubu knew he's not the best at the moment, and I honestly believe that the people supporting Obi are overly sentimental, emotional with a little touch of tribalism, crass, and they probably do not know OBI, just the bandwagon!!!
I was subtly supporting Buhari in 2015 and I remember what my dad told me, he said " Anyone who is old enough when GMB was military president would never pray for him to return under any guise unless of course you have SOMETHING to benefit'...I almost quarrel with him then because I have been influenced by the mob, the same mob that says even if Buhari present nepa bill as certificate, we will vote him!!! I will never pander to the MOB AGAIN...
Obviously, we allow people who had something to benefit railroad us into that 2015 mess...In 2023, I saw almost THE SAME group of people leading the mob on a similar pattern, and I said 'ALLOW people do whatever pleases them'..
For Johncris, I know his struggle, I have been there before, he's been on here couple of time soliciting for fund for one thing or the other, help can come from either way and he doesn't needs to annoy one group to please another, albeit politically....It's just WISDOM!!!
Moreover, election is OVER and TINUBU is our president till 2027, atleast...There is nothing you and I can do about it...I would rather prefer a discussion on how we can NAVIGATE this next 4 years, believe me people are still MAKING it!
I honestly think we should let it rest and focus on what this thread is meant for; EHAILING and it's associated risk/struggles etc..#shalom

The bolded is false. You guys that supported buhari in 2015 should just accept the fact that you made mistake and stop relating it with Obi's support. The difference is like night and day. Obi's supporters subjected him to several scrutiny. Even non supporter like Adeola fayehun as well as nigerians in diaspora did same. He answered them with examples of similar things he did when he was a governor.
What Obi's supporters did was to spread those interview videos to nooks and crannies, hence, the mad support.

Pearl1910:
Abeg is Northwest Maryland selling special fuel? Even at N595/litre people will queue and reach Maryland busstop.
Abi are they giving souvenirs there, cos I know Nigerians too like free things.

Maybe they sell quality fuel and their pump⛽ is intact.

whatisthetruth:
So Bolt banned me for a WHOLE YEAR for refusing long pick up trips.

Customer support mocking me and telling me that it's all about radius, even if the radius is across a body of water.

The way we are exploited in Nigeria is crazy.

Look at one of the pics below, they actually wanted me to drive to Ikoyi from V.I, to pick someone and take them back to V.I, like wow.

That means profit on that trip will be like N200-N400, that's like 40 cents.

May God help us to find better work/gigs in Jesus name, amen!

Boss, welcome to indrive club. @ Glithronix will send your form. It is well bro. God will grant our desires

northbird:
Not true.
There's nobody paying 60k/week for a corrolla.. Moove ( that drivers still want a slash) the highest so far, hovers around 55k+ weekly.

Boss, you didn't get the gist. I think he is being sarcastic based on dashboard calculations

Pearl1910:
Going is not bad. But the problem is coming back with a trip. U may have to drive all the way back to Igboelerin or Iba to get a reasonable trip back to civilization.

Thanks baba. I really appreciate

Please bosses,
Advice on whether I should go to Ijanikin from egbeda. How is the road and traffic situation there?

Pearl1910:
Sho mo agee mi?

ksmart027:
Bolt introduced economy category in ph over 3 months ago. The 10 percent commission is just a promo and the will revert back to their normal commission in a week time when the promo is over. That economy is meant to attract passengers, it's only for their interest.

You see. I didn't read this comment before my response to northbird. Let them continue, body go tell them after December.

northbird:
Bolt is bringing a package to tackle Indrive.. The economy category.. they will charge 10% on that plan..
That means Indrive really impacted their revenues..

Boss, Bolt is very silly. Many questions begging for answers, if they are to tackle indrive. Is this package coming with fixed/flexible charge like indrive? Will the package eliminate their driver score? Will the package eliminate car inspection every 4 months? I can go on and on. They can't beat indrive

Glithronix:
Indrive been showing me shege on top crediting my account.
Na yesterday own wey be Sunday vex me pass, onto say I set out very early around after 9 in the morning. Time wey person suppose dey sleep.
My target na 60k gross, but mehhhn, crediting my account in the middle of the hustle no gree.
Tried doing the bank payment instead of card crediting, but dammn, I hate that link, I no even understand am since I never use am before.
Managed to gross 48k. as at 9pm, after waiting to crediting my account and to no avail, I just vex go house.
15k fuel and fuel still smiling at me from the guage onto say I dey keep reserve very well.
Indrive should quickly sort this problem ooh, cos it's been like a week I been dey experience am, na that yesterday own vex me gangan because I set out too early.

Glithronix baba, you can pay them in excess at 1st instance to avoid break in transmission, since the process is tedious. What do you think?

Felicity0001:
I'd advise you get a new plate, you'd spent almost the same amount with ess stress

Baba, that thing na headache

Glithronix:
I know but not in a case that you've searched and found nothing but still looking for wetin no lost.
I know the kind of passenger I go carry that will be suspicious.

Much respect, baba.

Baba Glithronix, please calm down. Police no well o. From your narration, they were obviously angry they couldn't find exhibit on your rider. They can turn the issue on your head in a jiffy and you go explain tire.

MrReeseG:
Kolomentality!!!
I don report am give support

Sorry about the experience bro. It's not worth it to wait that long especially when the rider is not responding.

MrReeseG:
Abeg
Wetin I fit do this person, e dey do me like make I nack am wheel spanner for head.
"I'm coming out now" for close to 20mins.
Call she no pick, message she no reply.

And I don too decline trip requests today

Did you later cancel the order?

dharmie13:
Pls is old plate number affected?

No ma. Although I read today from FRSC boss that ideally, the number plate should expire after 6 years but that policy na wash. I think the concern is the visibility from 60 meters for security reasons.

Pearl1910:
Use blue permanent marker renew am by urself

Haaa baba. I don't want police wahala.
I heard they can easily figure out that you painted it and it's a serious offence.

pope191:
I don’t know if they have special center, but I know they do it at ojodu office. Best you try anyone close to you boss. Yet to do mine sha… I gave them 5k to start process last year December, but never went back. The lord is my helper.

Thanks baba. Na Lagos state latest threat about faded number plate dey bother me.

@Pope191 baba, still on the number plate reprint, can I walk into any of FRSC offices to do the reprint or they have special centers for it?
