Cng is na 50/50, e fit marry ur car you go enjoy am...if eno marry am well, ur experience will be tedious.

The main issue is the poor pricing and low requests, caused by competition... I don't see a solution on the horizon.

Cng stations are few, queue na water, i don't see that improving soon, cus to open cng station is bare expensive.

Imo electric is the way if you intend to do this hustle for long.

ABOVE ALL, GET UR PVC AND VOTE THIS PLAGUE OUT!!

We suppose dey use fuel, who the hell knew what cng was b4 this curse of a man came to power? Now i no fit even fire my car well 🤦‍♂️.

I just hope we all objectively exercise our franchise this time around without fear!

taxiappguy:
Why bolt dey lie say dem increase price when what they did was reduce it?

Thumbs up bro...
U re keenly observant...
However, they actually increased the price a little last week, with flying messages immediately after that....this week ehn... God dey sha...they reduced it to the 'minimal minimum' worse than how it was before the round table meeting.
They are rogues.!

Vela01:
Has anyone experienced all these hoodlums at Ajah asking for local government papers

Wahala no dey finish... Which one b local government papers again?... What's the docs about?

Fellow comrades..
I just heard about a new app called "Mride" ... There is also a voice note in circulation between the Mride's customer care and a driver. The points highlighted in the conversation by the driver is brilliant.
However, could the drivers really come together to build their own app?

ebiye55:

Biodun1929:
Bro, one person don abuse me tire for here say my car suppose dey make more money than that, say I no wan learn. I just always felt the car (a 2.4 litre Honda Accord, 2008) was making just about the right amount of money it should be making. Thanks. I go rest on the matter.

And about the average per kilometres, yeah, it happened because I was chasing one 11,800 bonus, and I had a few hours left, so I took some not too good trips. Usually, my average is always around 380.

Thanks for your comment..I appreciate it.

Thank God say gentlelife loud m for u...
Better rest ur case on that fuel consumption matter....at last na u go tire wen mechanics are tru with u....
Ur income isn't bad.

Pearl1910:
As if that's not bad enough, they have resumed blocking drivers for not accepting trips.

The unbelievable is happening...
Blocked ur account....dey no check ur profile.
They are losing it

Omoapena:
Dynamic commission is scam, it's just a way for Bolt to steal from drivers.

At this point, I'm sticking to only indrive until December when I will see 1.9surge on bolt.

Seems indrive is winning this battle

Firstly, it's Dynamic commission fee or whatever; we raged spinelessly.
Which one be "Dynamic service fee" again.

"The net amount shown to you on the trip acceptance screen is exactly what you’ll earn - no surprises.
As always, you choose whether to accept, decline, or ignore each ride request after seeing the fare with the service fee applied."

This guyz are really throwing every negative policies at us.

PuZZyNegro:
This is to inform the general public that Abudu Street is now one-way entering from University Road.

I saw those touts hold one Corolla there on Friday.

The bad thing is that Google maps will ask you to follow there.

You need to go straight further and enter through Davies street and then come out through Abudu street.

Gratitude for the update

[quote author=Omoapena post=136402828]indrive hardcore drivers, how do you people survive using that stupid app, person just do something wey pain me to my bone marrow this evening.

I was looking for a trip to just take me to mainland so I can go home from there,I was already blowing from chevron heading home then I saw this trip from oriental hotels, it has 2 destinations, one to ojota and the other to magodo phase 2. trip was 8400 and I just want to use it to cover for fuel, I got to PU in 2mins coz I have passed lekki toll gate when I got the request, I got to PU and I called this foolish rider, he said he was coming down, I waited for this foolish rider for 15mins first then he called to ask me where I parked, I told him I was at the car park and this guy said I should come to vendor area, me thinking the foolish guy has come outside and was trying to locate me, I left the car park and drove towards exit gate and called this guy again and he said he's coming, at that point, I was already blocking cars coming in and going out, the securities were already disturbing me, I called this guy again, he said he has seen me, oya come outside na, this guy took another 10mins + the 15mins I was waiting for him at the car park, this guy came out and I was already angry and I told him why did he call me to tell me to come and park at the exit when he's not outside, I was really angry cox this guy wasted my time for 25mins, can you imagine what this foolish guy said, he said why am I angry at him that he was sorting something out. i just dey vex na so this foolish guy talk hin no dey go again, as in after 25mins waiting for this guy. Indrive don kommot their commission and na so I vex kommot for there.

Omoapena:
I hate indrive for this nonsense, someone got me annoyed because of this payment delay on Saturday.

After driving 7mins to PU, she wasted my time for 20mins, the only reason why I waited that long was because I've clicked "start ride" unknowingly, I wanted to click "I'm here" but I didn't know indrive have started their nonsense of arriving automatically once you approach PU, I waited for this uncultured girl for 20mins+, came out and she couldn't even apologize, I sha take this girl to her destination, on approaching her destination, I went online on bolt and I immediately got a trip of 15k+ net, I felt so happy seeing good trip, after getting to this girl destination, oya do transfer, this girl wasted my time for another 10mins, gave her moniepoint acc. she said transfer failed, gave her opay, transfer failed again, and I'm getting impatient already coz i don't want that bolt rider to cancel the ride, I just dey murmur say which kind agbako rider be this untop your small money ride.

assuming the bolt rider nah all this impatient rider, I for loose that trip coz of delay from that indrive rider.

the werey rate me 2star come make my rating drop from 5.0 to 4.67

Na real werey...
The rating make me laugh pass.....those riders ehn....na patience plus patience plus extra one ..

Muhammadson2020:
Beg and Negotiate further with them, may be for 25k. Every body know say country hard. You shouldn't even have drag with them. Nah one of the hazard of this business, Now 152k you have been saving for days and months don go to people that didn't work for it. This Uber work is very demanding and Stressful. It's well Bro. God will see you through

The "hazard" isn't peculiar to this business....all drivers in Lagos face dis hazard (Uber driver or not). Offence of one way in Lagos is a maximum conviction...it's a big slaughter for traffic officers...

Any driver will be lucky if 25k go bail m comot o.....

Omoapena:
their commission isn't straight forward anymore, they now charges between 15% to 25%

Sometimes, down to 10% .............
I experienced that on Sunday........

Omoapena:
25k each day, multiply it by 6days.

U really wanna clear the air on this matter..

As in....how 25k fuel could net that... almost 400k...it defies all logic..

Even Glithronix don rest his case on this matter...

Omoapena:
bolt has reduced commission to 15%.

Are you serious?
Since when?

ksmart027:
Okay, i dey ph sha. E get my guy wey dey use tecno pop 8. He recently switched to redmi 14c and i use Google Pixel 6 pro and 4a 5g. They guy always complain of not getting request, unless he turn on is economy. I thought he was joking not until the day i was with him. I got like 10 request on my phone back to back and he got non until i left him. And note his acceptance rate and driver's score are higher than mine and my economy has been off since that category was launched. So that's why i said the type of phone matters, but i understand your point. Much respect boss.

Do u mean redmi 14c isn't perfect for the job?
Pls hit the nail on the head let me know where my problem they com from.... I'm tired of being idle on bolt!

Omoapena:
if you can afford to take 2012 tokunbo car on Hire Purchase, instead of taking that, why not go for lagride, its brand new and it's latest compare to 2012 car.

On point!

This one don pass be careful...

I don't understand....shey men don migrate from this page...

I don refresh tire self

Omoapena:
but, no matter how hot the weather is, if your AC is sharp, anyone sitting at the back will still be feeling the coolness, might not be much but definitely, the person won't feel heat....

my AC dey perform well for any weather...

Still on the AC matter....abeg make Una help me out...
During December I rode with my AC on level three.... I just want the client to enjoy what they are paying for..
Normally, na level two I dey always put m except I'm alone in the vehicle or driving at night or early morning - then level one/low works perfectly.

My fan motor/coil got burnt n I replaced it.
However, I noticed something strange this wk.
If I'm not accelerating or if m packed with my engine on, the AC no dey blow again o! na just fan dey role.

Pls, what is happening or has happened to my AC?

Barbiturate:
Correct 👍

It's good to have an opinion on issues/topics raised but to chest-beat on an opinion or talk as if it supercedes all other opinion is the height of stupidity and 'too know'

Hmmmn...
Hope dem Neva hack Ur account...the way u dey fire this morning wey manpikin Neva c trip lik dis...axe down abeg...
There is love in divergence

YeyeGbami:
Lagos sun never hold you for work, you go begin dey wonder if your gas don leak. If i carry rider wey siddon for back dey complain say AC no reach am. My reply to am na to come front o.

True talk...
More also, AC doesn't circulate much if the number of people in vehicle is ≥4.... People for back seat go complain tire
