VI to Ikeja around what time and what is the time estimation? Remove surge on Bolt and bonus as well, you’ll see that piece of sh*t is gone.

The only advantage Bolt have over Indrive is turn around time in trips. Same question I have asked you to upload your total trips and not just income. Mind you VI to Berger on indrive now is above 7k during rush hours, but I don’t run it. You get!
The emboldened is true. The only edge Bolt has over Indrive right now is that they have more riders. Bolt has a lower turn around time rate.

I was expecting Rida to step up the disruption..but I was wrong, Rida has positioned to end up as bottom feeders.. so pathetic.

Bolt trips are way cheap compare to Indrive right now. Riders has shift to Bolt because it is convenient, which brings about drought on Indriver. Bolt still have much of the clients, so turn around in trips are superb, bu you can’t compare usage of gas and cash at hand on a normal good day both are serving trips.


25 and 10 percent of both at 60/40 returns 30k. Can we say we’re going to use same gas to obtain such? The downside of indrive inability to get trip on time. You can do 7 trips and b fine to get that 40k. Ask Pearl how many trips he covers in a day to get the 60k
Compare and contrast. You are right. Km and time wise,Indrive seems to offer more. But like I said. I'm concerned with the time utilised..
Spending 3 hours or more cumulatively to wait for trips is a waste.
I'm only concerned from the standpoint of time..

I really don't know whether its jazz Indrive is using for u guys or its just penny wise pound foolish. that u guys feel Bolt commission is too much but then settle for rubbish on Indrive.
25% of 60k is still better than 10% of 40k.
25% of something is better than 10% of nothing.

If u have stomach upset, buy flagyl and lock up the system. Don't let small setback spoil ur entire day.
100% agree with you.. I'm even more concerned with the time.. if you are going to be working for 6 hours, let it be 6 hours and use the other time productively. not 6 hours, but 3 hrs out of it is used to wait for trips.

I don't think there's a way you will stay online on indrive for 1hr and you no go get a trip.
It's not possible.

You will always get rides popping up on your driver app.
The only thing that will make a driver not get a ride for that 1hr is if he's bidding higher to the riders,or he's selective of the kind of rides he picks.
If you want to do anywhere/anyhow belle face on indrive, you go see say rides plenty for you to drive yourself to stupor. grin

Much respect, legend.
Very possible.. if you enter v.i for morning, the best is to move towards oniru..
V.i proper. Fastest fingers will show you shege.

What's the point in picking useless trips, the goal is to make profit, not run around lagos like a rabbit.

It is very clear. That is why the serious ones are porting to Telegram. These ones who have side hustles and salaried jobs won't allow the basic drivers see front. See that one above who is making noise about earning N400k in December telling salary earners to s'kill up' . . . lol When basic drivers were earning more than double of that in the same month. Ask him how much his job's salary is and see how he will shenk the question.

Such a wicked human being.



This one was someone who I was supporting and motivating, even helping when he was crying upandan here concerning his former partner and his vehicles fuel consumption. The man later turned around to attack me. Whenever I see him posting I just smile and wonder less why we as nigerians are allergic to making good decisions whenever election time arrives.

The people are the problem and not the government. It is very evident even from observing the trends being set on this very thread.

It is well.
Why are you crying more than the bereaved? Is it your HP?

That's the more reason you should do it asap. If you had done it in October last year, by now you would be close to making your money back while CNG is still cheap.

Also, the current cost of CNG will have to increase 5-6 times the current price for it to match the price of petrol. And that's assuming petrol stays at the current price.

As for where to fill, corner44 already answered you. Get the biggest cylinder you can find that fits in your trunk and refill each time you're around any CNG station.
Have you changed your car to CNG?
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by northbird: 11:45am On Jan 10, 2024
Conner44:
The simple reason they haven't converted to CNG is because of the dearth of proper CNG filling stations along their route plus the inconvenience of installing a rather larger CNG tank into their chassis which will reduce the amount of passengers or luggage they can haul on any given trip.

It's apples and oranges bro.
And this reason you gave does not apply to ehailing.. you obviously don't drive, because you won't tell those that take airport trips to do CNG.
You follow and watch the leaders..

CNG filling stations are not rampant yet. Waiting for "leaders" is not enough excuse if you ask me.
You learn from the leaders because they have more business insights.
Per vehicle on a one on one basis,the Young shall grow /Agofure/Ekeson buses still buy more fuel than the ehailing drivers. Don't forget,they even operate in routes ( south eastern/southern)where fuel is way above 600 naira ..
So why are they not switching? That is the question ?
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by northbird:
Conner44:
Interstate journeys and ehailing are not the same thing. Not even by a mile. You shouldn't use one to compare to the other.
What do you know? Switching to cng is to ultimately avoid high cost of fuel.
Interstate vehicles. "God is good n co "expend more on fuel than ehailing drivers, fuel is a major cost to them and they havent converted to cng yet. They use more fuel than ehailing drivers. There's no ehailing driver that buys 50k fuel/day.

Has anyone considered converting their car to CNG?

I'm considering doing it, do you think it will be a good move?
Hold on. Follow the leaders. The likes of God is Good, Peace., Agofure, ABC have not switched..

Do you know what is call merit? The position you listed up are supposed to be purely on merit and there is a clearly lay down guide lines to becoming SC judge.

I am not implying that Tinubu is favoring or not favoring any region, but the example you use doesn't add up.

cheesy


You got it correctly, the newbies don't know how to reduce price but the old users, they can turn 6k trip to 3k, sometimes, I wonder how they are being able to do that ....

Indrive is good for areas where their are scarcity of drivers
On indrive, the key to determine those that manipulate original fares is to look at rider's ratings first. Anything below 4.5, I dont even bother bid, I skip it straight.
Rider's with high ratings usually stick with the app suggested price or are open to accepting higher bids.

10k fuel should give 27 -30k gross on Bolt .. this is for experienced drivers who understand how the city breathes.

Let me just make it easy for u to comprehend.
Using a Corolla u make 4x or 5x ur fuel.
So if u use 5k fuel u make 20k
10k fuel u make 40k
20k fuel u make 80k.
Provided u don't do long distance drive to pickup for a very short trip repeatedly.
There's no way 5k fuel will give you 20k on Bolt..
Except there is mad surge. Normal work, MBA, not possible..

Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by northbird:
@ AOB, @ welz has done justice to it. One more thing, if you want the bonus , there is a section of the app where you can untick the packages you dont want to drive on.
So you can untick "priority". However, Uber priority is the best package,you are exposed to clients who don't flinch when it comes to paying for rides.

This is my opinion,buying shares in Nigeria looks like a money raising scheme..
A lot of shares publicly traded in Nigeria don't appreciate at all.
What's the point of buying shares when your shares don't appreciate ..it's counter productive in Nigeria.

Illegal structureshuh When some of them have papers and government approval from alausa ?
It’s just that APC have bastardized our judiciary
If not they should sue Lagos state government for giving them signed approvals unless it’s fake signatures and documents
From what I gathered so far, Lagos /Alausa has no business with the demolitions going on around festac axis.
It's FHA.. federal housing authority.. so it's a federal thing.. and not state sponsored.
It's quite sad losing your hard earned investments..sha.

Coming back to those buying land @ ibeju lekki axis,
When you ask what's the title of the land, the sellers say "excision in view ". What this means is the land has no title.
I wonder the kind of people that pay millions for a land with no title deed.

If after few years, govt refuse to grant the excision , what will be the fate of the buyers..
This same scenario is what I think played out at the purported Festac phase 2..

Property companies are busy selling out with the strategy that the next 10 years the buyer will make massive profit.
Buying lands in ibeju-Lekki for speculative purposes is not a smart move..

I don’t know how they do it. But,if the roads are choked now, (to and fro Awoyaya is a nightmare) what will happen when over 500,000 extra people migrate there? .. As it stands,LASG has no plans ( infrastructure wise) on ground for population explosion in that axis

It's like using your money to buy trouble..
