Slickleo:Monday is payday. By afternoon, it will drop |
It's not a Bolt issue, let's face it, harassment from security operatives in Lagos is way too much. These things don't happen in Abuja. Of course, the rider mite feel the driver connived wt SARS but I doubt it. The issue to b addressed is the constant harrasment of civilians by the police, don't we HV Bolt in Abuja, why is it always Lagos. |
SaintHilary:That's not entirely true. Since the partial closure of the 3MB, Adekunle axis, Oyingbo via Eko Bridge n Costaain roundabout has received a new level of traffic gridlock. D SARS and d Panti guys just fish from the pool of cars in d traffic. I have experienced it before, so it's not about any planned work. Once 3MB is closed, no other route to d Island except these places, |
SaintHilary:They won't even feel their exit. D boys shouldn't think they r impt. Wt d low fares Bolt is offering. They ain't going nowhere. If you are in Lagos, and you want to do some serious movt. You need the e ride companies. |
jaymejate:That's not true. Bolt has no biz wt SARS. |
mrjaydee:Kudos to Uber for that, you can't waste time without paying for it. I'm guessing the dy r bolt riders, Dey seem so urgent Wen dey call you. Alas, when you get there, dey keep you waiting. |
@ weightless. Sorry about d ordeal. I believe you are a new to the game. There's no point in waiting for a rider that has refused to pick your calls nor return them. It shows indifference on d part of d rider, so you shouldn't waste your time on such. You don't cancel, hmmmn, time is money in ride hailing, you can cancel but within d allowances given. Moreover, rider said, he/she trekked to d destination, so it was a short trip. Always weigh d comparative cost analysis of your time vis a vis the destination of the said rider..... Uber/ Bolt / Indrive, preferences differ, the bottomline is, are you making something substantial within the Nigerian context. |
Felicity0001:[₦60 is not really an increase, it's too marginal. The real increase shd be on d Km, cos that's when you earn as a driver. Anyways, there is a new app onboard, if you like the price quote and the area, you go ahead, no threats, no reduction of ratings/ activity score, n no bullshit. |
Slickleo:D computation is correct. Your fares are accurate. For d first one. #1000. 6.1*₦65- 396.5 39*10. - 390 Base fare 200 Total 986.50k ~ #1000 (approx. to d nearest hundred) Calculate the others using their model. |
abefeabebi:Good one. As long as you didn't fall to lastma, LG touts & one way police. I'd say it was a win. Get Bolt ASAP. On Bolt, you have 2 sure jokers, if you play ur cards well wt dose 2 jokers, half of ur daily scores is settled. |
[quote author=Babadee1900 post=94391199]Yes boss. After appealing to them via email, they said they will get back to me after a team has reviewed my account. On Wednesday I got a sms from Bolt with link to retraining, I completed the training online. Six hours later I was able to go online. I won’t be driving for awhile though, taking a break. Thanks for looking out bros.[/quot good to hear baba, break is essential, can't describe d deluge of ideas hitting me since Friday |
Olayetan:Wao... Sorry about that... Lessons learnt, more wins ahead.. |
@ olayetan, were you able to retrieve your car from D MIB. |
@ babadee, has bolt responded positively? |
jpworld:So we must wait for something sinister to happen before proactive measures of safety are taken.... |
BoboKush:Why r you explaining to him,! |
BAZ001:Can they compensate a dead man? Uber n Bolt should rather do the needful and demand a valid govt identification before allowing riders have an account with them. Its just pathetic, with a new sim (₦150), you cud generate a new identity on Bolt n Uber. This r part of d issues I was thinking d new guidelines will address, n not sticker, badges, tags, |
BAZ001:D growth is organic...no need to expend unnecessary funds on marketing.. Slow n steady... Imagine what will happen 6 months from now.... Uber shd go ahead n keep hiding destination. When d California guys took them to court, they had to bulge, how can you say I'm a freelance agent wt no work benefits yet I cant determine d kind of trips I want to take. It means I'm not freelance after all, that's the selling point of In drive. Choose where you want to go. No barriers. |
@ chucsmoore, Baba, you r right o. Indriver is makin a lot of sense rite now, I mean around ogba, I did 3 short trips, of wc no traffic, I don get money for fuel for d d day. I'm lyk on Bolt, dt trip fit no pass ₦500, wt discount sef. Uber... Don't go dere, dose trips can't b more than ₦300.... Rite now a combination of Bolt and indriver is lways a jackpot... For over 3 mths, I hv not driven on Uber. Quest plus, gold, splatinum.... I'm not too bothered rite now.. |
Yomboy4ever:Is this your main hustle or part time? If it's d main hustle, pick d corrolla... As per brain box. Don't park in isolated areas, always park where there is a kiosk, an eatery or something. Caution as long as it's a side street . At home, always park in a gated compound. Even if it means paying your next house 5k monthly to park in their compound. |
pope191:Baba probably moves wt a clean ride n d interior is still cool n all that... A lot of riders will lways want to get ur contact if ur ride is clean. Ladies who don't know how to ask for ur contact wtout being misunderstood simply start by asking... Do you live around this area? So for a guy, that's d cue. |
xule20:As a rider, I don't worry much about rating. Esp on Bolt, I have picked riders with ratings of 3.0 and below severally. So from a rider's standpoint, ratings from a driver is overrated, it doesn't carry weight.. As per rider rating driver low for no reason,that's funny, Cos right now, I'm not scared of any dam rating from any rider... I don't allow any rider intimidate me cos of ratings. If you cross your line, I bring you back immediately... If for over 5 weeks, during corona, I didn't drive n things moved fine... Whatever happens, regardless, prolly means, its tym to step into something bigger.... |
Eizenburg:What about riders that rate drivers low just cos of the fare? This has happened to me a couple of tyms, I just marvel at such riders, y force urself to use Uber/Bolt, when you could jump buses I mean as a rider, you have an idea of the fare estimates before ordering, if you don't hv much money on you as a rider, there are always alternatives, why put urself under a burden n transfer your anger on d driver. |
jaymejate:Its d app companies who don't put priority on the safety of their tools/drivers. I was expecting them to ask for a verified Nigerian ID before allowing a rider to book a ride. Seen some stupid names of riders like " fish" "Mr" on Bolt severally. Even LASG disappointed me on this with their E hailing regulations, the focus was just on how to raise money.. How can you miss such a very important part of the regulation, safety of the driver? �Shouldn't there be a system to verify the authenticity of a rider. |
chillex8: .Thing is Moove didn't carry a survey amongst d drivers to suggest a car dt fits into the demands socio / infrastructural state of Lagos... Look @ a car dt hasn't worked for a year, like a kabu-kabu. |
Morray:That is not a problem. There are a lot of car owners looking for people to partner with.. Question is can you drive properly? This is very impt. Can you work long hours? Cos you can't predict how d server will give you trips. Don't shut down your tailoring outfit, being mobile can give you a new class of clients, I just hope your skill level can match up to their demands. I'm surprised you say you don't make much from tailoring.. Cos I know a guy who sews n he is doing fine... Ideally you can negotiate for rental @ 23-25k./week. Goodluck.. |
Morray:3.2M is a tall order Find a car on rental first.. Test your grit on the hustle for like 4- 6 months before collecting a car on HP. Making money on Uber in Lagos is beyond just driving and knowing Lagos.... There is a learning curve, you can't b a rookie and square up HP You will be shocked with some preconceived notions about the job. Rental first.... |
radautoworks:If it's lekki Phase 1, 2pm is still fine, provided ikoyi link card is available. Traffic to mainland is minimal on weekends. |
Brethren, indriver is surely gaining momentum by the day... |
1daboi:Bro. Forget those kind of riders. The riders r not serious... They will leave their house at the peak of rush hour n expect the driver to do magic. Very unreasonable set of riders, you live in Lagos n you set out at Peak rush hour n you start complaining about the traffic, I just totally ignore them. Forget what Google says... if you don't leave V.I or lekki before 2pm, you will spend minimum 2hrs 30mins via the 3MB. |
peeps4u:Are you aware of the conditions? Even luxurydriver don go drop their vehicle for deir yard.. I still maintain it. 2016 Toyota corolla is way too big a car for d crap fares n d bad state of roads in Lagos . |

we began the journey and I checked g map and gmap told me to go through Broad street (marina) as it is 22mins faster than Osbourne. Lo and behold, I took Broad street, before I knew it I found myself inside balogun
