AC is the main killer in this job.

And the only thing I achieved yesterday was paying some good fraction of my bolt debt.

Since yesterday was Friday I decided to drive base on some indicators which point to a bullish out at the end of the day.

Most people would want to go out and get money for the weekend.
Most people working on the island would want to come back home after their usual 1week around their offices.
Demands for humanitarian workers "olosho" is usually every Fridays.
Last opening day for market in the week.
et el.

Put on bolt apps which is uber and taxify. Mind you I didnt go out on Thursdays at all apart from driving to refuel at the filling station. I bought N1k fuel.

Now see how your AC is the main reason drivers are not netting reasonable income.

With approximately N1500 in my tank I didn't want to leave the house unless a request comes in, so, 1st request came in after about 1hr on taxify.

At first I was reluctant but drove to PU believing I could convince rider to go on offtrip since I was owning bolt N12,212. But unfortunately rider disagreed, its was a 3rd party ride. I didnt wanna start my day with paying debt knowing fully well I'm having just about N1500 pms in my tank with no other cash on me. So I drove off. That trip would have ended N2+. But no worries! I was positive to have a good day and I truly did.

The 2nd request came in on uber that would have been my 13th trip on uber for the week. Trip started without AC but as the traffic was building up with so much dust and heat and i notice rider(he) was contious with his phone and was sweating vigorously I then decided to put on the AC. Trip was from Scheme 1, Oko Oba,Agege to inside berger. Trip ended N1900

The next trip came in while I was get to end the 1st. At this time I didnt use AC but was a short trip still within inside Berger. The lady paid N500 still cash.

Drove from inside berger around the FRSC to ADDAS SuperMat Agidingbin, parked in their car lot for about 40min then the 3rd came in, babe was going to Adeniji Jones and trip ended N700 cash.
Still no AC.

I then on the AC a little due to traffic and drove, waited for some minutes with no show, driving to ikeja along a delivery trip to Osborne offshore estate, Ikoyi. No AC still and trip ended N2500.

Atbthis point my fuel indicator was then showing. Drove from there to NNPC b4 falomo. Bought N1500. Drove down to falomo close to the bridge then a trip came in on taxify, destination- Ajah.

Now; lets do the math.
All trips where cash uber trips.
1st trip = 1900
2nd trip = 500
3rd trip = 700
4th trip = 2500

Total = 4600.
Estimated fuel in Naira (N)= 1500.

Minus uber commission you will be left with 3450naira minus 1500 for fuel.. you are left with 1950naira.

U see where I'm going... the work is total bullshit for now.

It will only favour car owners that chose to drive thier cars for now bro..

Everywhere dry even on a saturday... this is really bad. Work resumes fully on monday if there is no lockdown extension. It is well.

OP so what should we do with this info?


Me next week when German League resumes... Up RB Leipzig!!!

Felicity0001:
Not active at thw moment. Remember it's a promo and notification is always sent first thing every Monday but at this time it has not been made available.


If you ask me, I'll say this lift on the lockdown is very much unnessary.

Though I understand the government want the poor in the society to use this time to raise some money to sustain them for some time since they can not provide palliatives to keep them at home for long while they fight they virus.

But looking deep and using uber driving as a yard stick. How much can a driver net a day?
Most businesses are under locks and keys.
Most banks are branches are closed.
Religious houses, all social gatherings, club houses, schools, airport and many others are locked indefinately.

How then do they want the poor to even have something reasonable within the hours allowed to to go out in a day? The other day I decided to drive I managed to gross 9k+ I was left with almost nothing after buying fuel, alcoholic disinfectant, data subscription, call card and a few other depending things.

Fast forward to next day, I watched my phone drained out in my sitting room, the only two requests that came in where short trips with long pickup and. to my unfavorable destinations, ended up cancelling them. Nextday, was even worse after taking a trip from Abule Egba to lekki.

Trip ended N4100
Uber commission was N980
Bought fuel N2k
Bought something to eat N700
Managed to carry out 3 short card trips within lekki axis after long wait at intervals in the sun.
It waa closing time and no trip waa coming to take me out of the island.
Called the rider I carried if he would like me to take him back but rider said he waa joining his colleague back home.
O menh, I'd to carry road side picking.

In the end I just thought, what's the unnessary suffering for when one can not boast of coming back home with at least 5-7k after buying fuel and paying commission so one can set aside money for weekly rent and still have some amount for family.

So to me driving at this time is not worth it but will only create a problem btw driver and owners partner because it Will be very very difficult for any driver to pay even 10k weekly.

My thots exactly... it still beats me that someone would still come here and post figures or earnings..

I introduced some friends to this thread and they own cars, they know my moniker and they are all guests viewing this thread on a daily. Imagine them seeing the so called figures. I said it on monday and I still stand by it, its practically impossible to make 15weekly at this rate.


God no go shame us

Babadee1900:
This is not about posting figures. Normally I don’t do that, I only responded to someone’s inquiry.

Ok boss.

That's a wig you dumbfucks

Babadee1900:
Net Earnings was posted sir.

Here we go again with "posting figures"

Babadee1900:
Monday Earning (Net): 11260 - 4000fuel= 7260
Tuesday Earning: Bleep
Wednesday Earning: 9200 - 3500 = 5700

It is possible to net 5k at least on the Island. The request today was back to back from 8am, I didn’t wait 15minutes before the next request comes in. As 3pm I was already closed for the day.

I even had to decline some request e.g Chevron Drive to Ikorodu, Addo road to Ikorodu, VGC to Surulere. Then there was another guy who refused to use his nose mask and was disturbing me to use AC. I picked him with his babe from Seaside Badore, going to Ikota, I ended the trip at Addo round about, collected my 500 and told him to book another ride.

Bro, I would suggest you remove this figures, it worked for you does not mean it will work for another person. Please dont give partners this false sense that's the work is "booming" it will get better hopefully but for now its total bullshit.

drmikeadams:
lazy driver....jessuson2020 made 70 k already between yesterday and today

rental should not be less than 35k

jesusson reading this your reply right now

Yesterday I gross 4k, today since morning till 3:22pm 1500. Going back home this is worse than January winter. I told my driver this wont work for now.. other intending drivers dont, I repeat DONT collect any car for now. It's practically impossible to net 15k weekly at this rate.

Cheers

peeps4u:

Hungry and desperate MOFOS

No mind the idiot.. 750k for this piece of shit

Good morning guys, I guess it's time we report to the Mods anyone that comes here to derail the thread again or we just ignore the person totally.

My Uber docs ( insurance expires in 3weeks, inspection has already expired) I dont even know if Uber inspection locations will be opened on monday. If you see anyone opened on the island pls mention me.

We are resuming on the 8th, so I have one week to test the waters again before my driver/partner comes to pick the car.

I think this week work will give a better understanding to know the right or reasonable weekly fare. Car owners should take note.

30k/25k weekly is impossible at this time let's not deceive ourselves.

Anybody can pretend to be who they are not on SM be it FB, Twitter or what ever but that doesnt take anything away from who they truly are in reality.

They greatest and most battles forth they say is in the mind but that doesn't mean in reality battles have been forth.

Some people are quiet and silent killers but when given a pen and paper to write you'll be amazed the things going in their mind.

Thanks for your advice but trying to stop a child from playing or engaging in some activities which he/she finds interesting might ends up damaging that child's brain cells. [/s]

So allow people to express themselves in the way and manner they deem fit.

Bro relax small...your ginger too much. Roll a blunt and smoke up.

if I hear protest...go and tubaba wetin them tell am.

I believe there is should be a downward review of the 25k atleast for now. We've been working from home and no resumption yet from my office.

Maybe I go enter road on monday and see as work go be then I can now give out my car later for rental.

This LCC still dey collect toll gate money?

xrayj:
Anytime I see your post, I instantly develop Migraine! Do u even reason with your head at all?? No sane person will even propose this in developed countries with good security architecture. Here u are in Nigeria proposing night way of life for a country with the poorest security & highest poverty level in the world? It is not even safe to move in the day, u are talking about night? I really don't know if u exhibit this level of senselessness for fun, but I tell u the truth today, a fowl is more sensible than u! Gosh!
