So how much did he call the fuel pump alone. I'm interested. 2007 Corolla

LASG is not even disturbing drivers about paying tax directly. In as much uber/bolt claims dey are deductin tax from the 25%/20% taken from us on every trip. Reason why LASG is demanding 10% on the 25%/20%. Not from us.
E.g 25% of N1000 trip. Uber charges N250.
LASG is demanding 10% from that N250 uber has charged from us, which is N25 only. ( not 10% from the N1000 trip)
To me, uber/bolt are cunny and greedy. If they can charge 25%/20% from us easily and find it difficult to remit the little % to the Govt.
But, lot of people thinks govt is demanding 10% tax from us. No

. With the current inflation in the economy Bolt still want to reduce price. I don't think this is a good move. Prices of things are going up on daily basis. Car parts are freaking expensive right now due to foreign exchange, even BRT public transport, is stepping up their fare by 46% due to the current situation of things on ground. This ain't a good initiative on a 20% commission. I believe there are better incentives they can introduce to attract customers rather than crashing price again. This is will surely affect driver partners no doubt

AngryIgboDon:
Bolt is a very useless company. I can't believe that drivers are even taking that survey regarding the reduction of fares for more trips. Can you imagine? And some illiterate drivers will go ahead and tell them to reduce fare for more trips oo.

I am advocating for fewer quality trips that will yield more money and more profit, this hopeless company is talking about more low quality trips that will damage your cars and wreck you forever! Take note of the word quality. Drivers, do you really want more trips that are practically useless or fewer trips that are more quality even if its 2 trips per day? What exactly does bolt mean by reduction in fares for more trips? I will gist you.

Drivers, are you willing to see a situation whereby Bolt will make their base fare 200 naira like Uber and charge 30 naira per kilometre so that all sorts of animals and charlatans can flood the system for more trips? This is what they mean by more trips oo. Do not be deceived. You will think that you are making more money because
of the so called more trips but the reality is that you are wrecking your body and your car.

I have personally done my own survey and guess what? Riders are suprised at how dirt cheap ehailing is in Nigeria especially those riders coming back from abroad. Attached is a picture I got from a website that aggregates the price of ehailing from countries all over the world.

In Japan, drivers on Uber earn over 40 dollars per 10 kilometres they drive. At 466 to 1 dollar currently, thats 18,640 for a trip from Anthony Village to surulere which is approximately 10 kilometres. We have not added time and base fare oo.

In Hawaii, drivers on Uber earn over 20 dollars per 10 kilometres they drive. At 466 to 1 dollar currently, thats 9320 for a trip from Anthony Village to surulere which is approximately 10 kilometres. We have not added time and base fare oo.

In Nigeria, drivers earn less than 2 dollars for every 10 kilometres they drive! Infact its approximately 1.29 dollars for every 10 kilometres. Thats a "whooping" 600 naira for a trip of 10 kilometres from Anthony village to Surulere. God forbid.

You think am lying about the 600 for a 10 kilometres trip? Do the maths bro. Uber charges 60 naira per kilometre. 60 × 10 kilometres equals 600 naira. At an exchange rate of 466 to 1 dollar at the black market, you are earning approximately 1 dollar 29 cents for every 10 kilometres!

UNA MUMU NO TOO MUCH?

This is the exact reason why you find it hard to break even after suffering so many years driving. You can't pay rent, you can't feed your family and you can't build a house driving for either Bolt or Uber in Nigeria.

You know why? Car parts are imported. Oil is imported. As fares are dirt poor, car parts prices are rising due to exchange rates.

Shock absorbers for Toyota Camry is now 7500 each as against 5,500 it was before.

Drivers shine your eyes before you die before your time. Stop suffering and smiling. Dump that company called Bolt and find another hustle period!

moral of the lesson; EFCC now receive bribe like police. it's finished

toomush:
I just weak for Uber set Destination, I was at chicken republic at circle mall, I set destination to Ikeja on both app(I have been there for about an hour, no request) Uber app rang, I was happy oooh, called the rider, he was at circle mall going to Eros hotel 2km away

deedee44:
What indriver has is better than set destination, it just requires patience and luck.

northbird:
Are you a Nigerian brand? If yes, Good! But you charge 3k weekly!

One question

1. How do you deal with Indriver,? a purported Russian brand,whose charges are currently FREE.

stacyadams:


I hope say if wuber block driver permanently,moove go open d account

Maax23:
After 6 months you start paying commission. It's not profitable in traffic cos the fare is fixed.

northbird:
@ babadee, Pettrocam is good, I think d problem wt most filling stations is wt their attendants.

I don't know if you noticed, its a common practice among them, you ask for fuel of #2,000.
They program #2,000 into the console/ dispenser.

Fuel starts reading, wen it gets to #500 or so, they grab the nozzle n start squeezing it.
I'm lyk you have programmed it already, its going to stop @ #2,000.

Why r you squeezing the nozzle again? I don't get it, I'm always wondering, then wats d point of inputting 2,000 in d first place.

Excel70:
This security agencies should hold anybody not wearing face mask responsible. The driver can't be driving and looking out for riders not wearing face mask. They are grown up adults not babies

Please guys lets take it easy on @felicity. We learn everyday.
We take some decisions in a matter of seconds out of annoyance. Like me now, due to the fact that I'm in the comfort of my home, I can reason it well and I have decided that if I found my self in that position, I will just ask one of them to sit in the front or I will drop them off at the nearest bus stop.

Some riders can even penetrate under your elephant skin. Na so one enter my car the other day, the first thing wey come out from him mouth nah, "Hope this your car charger is fast because my battery is very low" I bin wan parra, but I just hold myself and did not even answer him.

a reasonable person would always do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

a reasonable person would always abide by the rules set aside by the government.

meter installers came to install prepaid meter in my apartment last week, when they arrived i go pick am as the house numbers no match. na 2 guys dem check the connection and told me i had to pay them to make some corrections in the existing wiring. i don't mind because estimated bill don kill me.

to cut story short, these guys dey tell me say make i no worry say dem go help me do something to the meter so it won't read correctly. I told them why would i do such thing, in future if compliance team come dey harrass me for bypass or tampering nko?

The funny guys dey ask me if i be pastor, i told them i survived crazy billing for a year plus and i didn't die. how much i wan load for prepaid that God won't provide. 100KW still remain like 85KW after a week.

When you do the right thing, you have no reason to worry.

radautoworks:
ROFL!! Okay. Called to tell them not to charge you but it was too late.

Felicity0001:
Madam's own too is nice and good just that I think it doesn't last like I want.
Dont know if it's because I wash my car everyday shall.

Well, what more do I even expect, a car that opens nothing less than 20times a day!

Godfather10:
I sent my kids here for their studies and it paid of handsomely, private school though, one graduated in Marketing and Chinese earns over £46k
My other son Graduated as an accountant earns well now taking his ACCA.
Our culture has its problems but we still have a progressive culture that makes us achievers, sending your kids home to study is a wise and good thing.
