@Tgiirl

From your earnings, it appears that you don't drive enough hours in a day. It is not all trips that bolt sends to you that you must embark on, some trip na waste of time and fuel.

[/b]You need to be on the road for at least 15hrs[b] minimum to see better profit and you have to drive like every other day to have reasonable money left in your hand or bank. Post subsidy*

okey4reel:
Seems like riders are running away from using bolt these days cos of their fares, Nigerians too like free things, most people don port to Indrive and Rida, na wa

okey4reel:
Lol you self dey feel am, they still need to work the Rida app

Gentlelife50:
Why are you all saying they have opened border?
Which news channel did you read that?

Viking07:
We’ve done all these. That’s the reason we are looking for alternatives. NIPCO installation per vehicle costs 342,000. Plus they are fully booked ahead for weeks. So even if you manage & pay today. It might take them months to get to you.

GeneralZodd:
😁😁😁. Bolt dey use drivers catch cruise inside this subsidy season.

Viking07:
😆😆The fat dude by the extreme left wan resemble pearl.

Gentlelife50:
Imagine, shebi I don talk am here.
Most Nigerians are inconsiderate and insensitive, they only care about themselves.
If it's possible she will want to book the ride for 1k sef, not minding the driving will be buying fuel at #500

mabeni:
To be honest, this job don tire me.
I have parked my car since the subsidy removal. if the car go get major maintenance issues, I no go get money to solve cos profit no dey again.


Na which work I fit learn as a family man?

I been dey think of truck /Trailer or Tipper Driving.

I need your opinion.

To everyone: It's very easy, just take it one day at a time. Target 40k on App daily by the time u minus 10k fuel and 10k Commission u are left with 20k profit. 6days a week and u have 120k a week. Rest one or two days every week. Provided u have met your target...
Note, some days u will make way more, some days u will make a little less. But overall at the end of the week u must make ur weekly target.
Then u will look back at the month, and find out u have made 480k profits.
Do daily and weekly Ajo to help ginger u and force u out of the house even when u don't feel like it. It will also help keep u going when u feel discouraged in d middle of the day. This is what I do, and anyother person can do same.

CheerfulGiver:
You can switch jobs. Leave driving for now

pope191:
Trying to find my way home, but it's not easy. The trip I am seeing is not just it. Surulere to berger 3500 and drivers are still rushing it. Best to just give space for now till things make sense. How can fuel jump from 184 to 488 and they won't even be a change in price from driver, even if will give excuse for app coy needing time to work on their app.

Barbiturate:
Why are you surprised? Someone here has been reminding us of the outcome of subsidy removal. He has been harmering on it and we all know that very soon subsidy will be removed!

I only pity delivery guys, but then I guess they should join the telegram group, so they can make enough profit even if fuel sells for 1k per litre.

Asides the abracadabra ∆, to be candid I think bolt is better to use now.....though a lot of riders have started complaining bitterly, only God knows how long bolt will hold this down, cos some have started using commercial buses.

Indrive and Rida are still sleeping. Opened Rida this morning and the prices are almost the same....just a slight increase, same as Indrive.

I've not worked for 3 weeks now though. I've been seriously ill. Wanted to start yesterday but couldn't get fuel. Now that it has increased to 488, na to reason wetin to use my life do remain!

God go help us!

FIZZBEE:
las las dem go auction those their cars off

pope191:
Nah siddon look we deh like this. 15k plus 500 tax. No reach anywhere

dav1002:
Fuel 450L + white trips + 3.5L V6 engine = bankrupsy 🤣

ReadaDream:
This one make sense. No be bolt wey go won kill you with conditions ontop 2k

Pearl1910:
I just hope they will not Increase the year again after a few years when people have invested in these cars.

Gentlelife50:
Abeg make una show me way ooo

Felicity001:
Aren't these lagride supposed to use the BRT corridors self?

Dailyparrot:
Please, why did Bolt remove the 'stop new request' option? What do they mean by removing that feature?

Like, I'm expected to take trips until no one is making a request on Bolt anymore?

I was at international Airport and would have stopped new request since I don't know my way around picking up at that place but because that option is not there, I was forced to accept a request at that airport which I later canceled anyway.

Is this not a modern slavery? These are issues we should be addressing here not dragging Felicity's case unending.

It's disheartening to open this page to see that some humans that will never let go are still quoting and quoting over irrelevant issues that should have been trashed a long time ago.

Deypray:
Who else noticed this?
Bolt is crazy.
This is full scale slavery.
This bonus should be nothing less than 10k. Now they are reducing it. This guy's don't rate their drivers at all.

inikamoze:
By the way, which good high-intensity high-beam bulbs that are cheap and affordable can you recommend I buy, my high-beam lights are not so bright and it's a struggle when I drive at night.

Deypray:
I think having a union will stop this exploitation.

ReadaDream:
Budget 42-50k for Korea brand
35k for China

northbird:
Since Indrive has reduced fares, I use more of Bolt now, it's a hard choice, but it's better to pay 25% of a just than to pay 10% of a slave fare.

How do you go from ogba to v.i for 3k in the morning? ... Honestly I'm lost with the way Indrive run things recently.
