RoadMozart:
Yeah you're right... A friend of mine once ordered uber in Abj and a Gwagon pulled over, he asked the driver why during the trip and he said that he just lost his wife...... To kill boredom and loneliness, he decided to use his G63 for Uber

Maybe... most times, there's an underlying motive.

RoadMozart:
Some people use bigger cars. Come see as people dey use GLK for Abuja. You go see Gwagon sef

Not sure those folks are into it for profit, there might be another angle..

Glithronix:
You for accept am naah.
You go just ask the remainder individual(s) to enter booth.
Much respect, boss.

I just imagined the scenario and I bust into laughter,....

Murphy870:
Thank you all for your contributions to my previous post, I really appreciate you all.
I made up my mind to go for tech skill and I was advised to go for data analytics, so I went to NIIT office located in Ibadan for enquiries about data analytics, there, I was told that the cost of training is 800k and 720k @discount.. I just want to ask any tech experts here if it worth that price or not, before I make payment, new students resume by the end of February and I would like to resume with them. Thanks you guys for your contributions once again.

Forget them, Go and mine YouTube..you will be amazed. Don't throw away your money o. Forget certificates in tech field, the main thing is can you live up to the skills you profess..
YouTube...and lots of practice.

I am doing ehailing

Then,read up on the thread. There's a particular page highlighting major pitfalls/one way roads .find it.

Don't dive into all areas in Lagos. You are to make money ,not tour guide the whole of Lagos. Always use Gmap as a guide. Trust your instincts more.

Bolt &Uber won't tell you this... As a rookie, you shouldn't go to some parts of lagos,leave that to the experienced ones.

I will tell you this for free. Balogun market by Uba,lagos island, there's no day I pass that route that I don't see Lastma & Cbd arresting at least 2 uber cars.. ..I look at those guys and I know they are rookies.. Most riders will tell you to quickly drop or pick them by Uba or by the roadside, once you do that, you already put yourself on the way to Sura.

okey4reel:
Abeg guys how una dey take follow Lastma guys and police, them dey always worry me, can't count how much I have paid to those useless guys, most times I follow some road I am not familiar with and they say its one way, I passed through Akowonjo / Egbeda bridge this evening and they said its one way, they held me and my car, come say make I bring 5k. I don tire

Are you doing ehailing or just a passive driver in Lagos?

Tgiirl:
Competing to get a trip on indriver is too high. And it takes luck and proximity for the rider to accept you.

Imagine the waiting time before you get another trip. Since I dropped my 2nd rider in vi at 8:15am. I competed for 3hrs 23mins before I got the 3rd rider.

Im heading home, only 3trips N14k5 gross since 5:30am, I don't have to strength to park and stay under sun.

I just missed bolt back2back If not i for don cross 20k

But Bolt denied you income for 3 straight days without getting to hear your side of the story,and they will still do it again without batting an eyelid.
Indrive is always like that for new users. Trust me, with time, you will appreciate Indrive. No app deserves your loyalty.

20k on Bolt is. 15k net
14.5 on Indrive 13k net

Note , Bolt first block was usually 7 days previously, Indrive humbled them.

Most times, it's a matter of self worth and esteem, afterall, some drivers still hassle for 800-900 naira trips,
Also,some drivers don't see themselves beyond this hustle. For them, it is Eldorado..

Godwin4444:
the policy is good but d most annoying part is that they said old notes will not b accepted from next week henceforth n till this moment bank is still giving out old notes on d counter


Tell me how do we address that?

Today is Thursday n bank is still giving out old notes n officially tomorrow is Friday which marks the official end of d week

So how do these people expect us to cope


Imagine wanting to buy car parts from all those illiterates dealers n they say they don’t want old note m bank is still paying old note

N u need over 500k….note atm can only give u 20k per day

How do u do it?

Transfer

The union of a thing won't fulfill the intended purpose..cos of greed and selfishness of its leaders..
Why can't they have unions like that of california where they dragged Uber to court and got some good judgment in their favour.
But watch....the next thing is ,sticker, Union dues ,and all that Olu omo vibes for ehailing..
why is Nigeria like this?

Pearl1910:
Yea...change can come as a result of competition too. The most important thing is responding to demands of your stakeholders. Leme go and look for the post where u said u have deleted the app and will never use it again. U, Cheerfulgiver and many others. I just dey look una with corner eye. Indrive now dey famine no be only winter.

Please, I'm waiting..

@ meeden. It means if you can do the required number of trips ,they guarantee you the specified income. But,I guess it's for rookies.

Crvrider:
Are you sure about this? What if I choose a fare higher than what the rider quoted?

It happens only under 2 conditions.

1. Accept riders offer.
2.closest to the rider from GPS.

Ayodeoba:
they are after one man but punishing millions of poor citizens, do you know how bad my business is affected concerning this old naira notes? Now on Friday I will go and deposit the cash with me, close my business and continue waiting for the cbn decision! Hereby loosing thousands of money everyday

You can do transfer through pos.

Pearl1910:
Since November last year...it's called change and innovation. Tot u guys deleted bolt app and have sworn never to use it again.

Change and innovation kwa? they are responding to the punches from Indrive. When was the last time Bolt blocked anyone, Keep thinking, swear for what?

Bolt is really feeling the heat of Indrive, I saw a request of #800-900 coming in.. I'm like? When did Bolt start quoting prices on their orders... trying to run a similitude like their competitor..

It's a good move,at least its better than nothing..it will be unwise to ignore Indrive..

pope191:
It is well.... plus no trips, crazy price on indrive

I thought I was the only one being served the crazy prices.. on my way home already. The stress of buying the fuel alone...

pope191:
Drivers on Indrive nah una go tire shey nah to deh carry trips anyhow

Wednesday evening at Allen was very funny ,you need to see those ladies around Allen were still quoting the usual low fares,.... I was just laughing, some of them quoting with two different accounts after no response ..
Drivers were not available to pick them or refused...

Pope,But what's going to happen if official per litre hits like #280-300... ? Cos gbese dey ground for the new incoming government..

Ile -Epo market . Big gully on the road.as at 16th January 2023


If you are coming from Abule egba, meiran,sango toll gate. inward Lagos don't use the overhead bridge,use ahmaddiyya to connect to oko oba road and connect back to the dopemu overhead bridge. Your car will thank you.

Reason: there's a big gully on that road,if you are not good ,your car could get stuck. Area boys are there to help you if you get stuck, you pay them, but if something untoward happens to your car,it means you bear the cost ,so avoid.

By the side of the road ,there's taskforce guiding the only BRT way that might help,don't be tempted to take it... Be guided.

Good morning good people

Please I need your advice because I want to start Bolt in Lagos and do it for like three months with my personal cars .. presently living in Ibadan

I have been hearing a lot of issues with car theft, robbery, car vandalism etc. and my Toyota Corrola 2010 is pretty like Tokunbo

I just need money to complete a project but all these car thefts is really making me scared.

Please can someone advise me..

Car theft /robbery - start in the morning and close when everybody is going home ..no night work.

Car vandalism- try and park in a gated compound,live in a good area,the cheaper the area,the higher the chances of vandalism.

BTW, driving in lagos is quite different, just a heads up,watch out for those trucks and danfos and the dispatch riders (your mirrors),don't drag with them.
Be wary of one way roads too.

Goodluck.

YeyeGbami:
fiberone is not bad at all, the router is not mobile tho.

Yeye thanks. I heard its fast... I heard they don't have full coverage in Lagos.

Good evening House, which of these Internet cpys are reliable ...
Spectranet, smile,tizeti,....ipnx...

Treaster:
Good day chiefs

Please how do I permanently solve a reoccurring fuel pump issue?

I've changed my fuel pump 3 times over the past 2 weeks yet it disappointed me again today.

I've scanned it, no other issue except this particular one.

What car are using? You need to change whoever is buying toks pump for you. Min. Toks pump should last for @ least 6 months. Go to another rewire and request for another vendor.
I bought toks pump 6k march 2022. Still going strong.

Finally, i hope you are also not part of the crew that won't buy fuel until they see the warning light on the dashboard...

No stress on Indrive.... The work seems so easy on Indrive,
- more rest btw trips.
-Money for fuel can be raised within an hour of juggling 3 short trips. (within a specific geo-location). Esp for part time folks.
-- freeeeedooom...This is the icing on the cake.:" I'm in charge of my itinerary
sometimes trips hit me up in the sitting room while I'm just chilling in the morning

This life sha, never knew a time would come that Bolt will be so irrelevant....

CoachOore:
Pleas I need advice. Bolt business in Uyo or ibadan which of the city is more lucrative? Pleas house I need advice. �

Ibadan of course... Ibadan is way bigger than akwa ibom in all ramifications

odaniel1: What I'm suggesting is that InDrive's incentive would soon be surpassed by one from a different company, rendering their now appealing offering useless. Business must always develop or it will fail.

Right now,there's no ehailing cpy that can beat Indrive.. ...Freeeedooom... that's the USP of Indrive, Uber and Bolt can't offer it..Those guys came prepared for the job. Their card payment is top-notch.you make payments and it reflects in seconds. Instant payment, no quoting of reference number

I once paid on Bolt and for days, the payment didn't reflect. I was sending mails to them before they could sort it out.

Indrive just needs to check riders that haggle indiscriminately, once they can fix that,they are good to go.

Indrive will wax stronger. Bolt on the other hand will lose more drivers if they don't do something fast about their policy .

One thing Bolt forgets is, drivers are the engine running this racket. . Without drivers, no orders fulfilled.
The app with more drivers will definitely lead, it's just a matter of time (the case of Uber,riders couldn't get drivers on time,when Moove approached them,it was a breath of fresh air for Uber). Moove saved their ass . Right now, they are still looking for more drivers

Bolt is a funny and a sorry case.. who takes 25% and still threatens the cash cow?

Freedom on Indrive is priceless ...... Imagine 2 apps similar to Indrive operating next year in Lagos. ... They will shove Bolt into the freaking black hole...

I'm glad Bolt is facing competition. . More drivers porting to Indrive ..

depure:
You don't talk of the drivers them self's that rake in that money in a day....but deliver 30k weekly it's ridiculous

What's stopping you?You can hit the road for a week and cash out too.

Carmartng:
Road users on the Third Mainland Bridge were on Tuesday, thrown into panic when fire burnt a space bus on the Third Mainland Bridge inwards Island, shortly after the Oworonshoki end.

Eye witnesses’ accounts said there were no fire extinguishers in the bus as at the time of the incident but the occupants on noticing the inferno hurriedly escaped sourcing for one.

White yellow striped 18 seater bus not space bus....

Crvrider:
But how does Lagride work? Is possible

LagRide is quite exclusive... They gave to some of the traditional taxi guys. They are not looking for ₦600-700 trips.. Some of them don't follow the app. As long as they keep their financial obligations, they are good.
