Why take 15%. Presently, indriver does it for free. Most riders are porting to indriver

Can indriver give you 8 solid trips in a day. I doubt it.

eyinola:
I hv found it hard to understand this calculation, is it that both per km and per min are added together? To get the total fare

Just suggesting rates for d new entrant.

themonk:
The LASG app, Who knows what the specifications for cars that will join the app will be. I’m pretty sure it will have better incentives for car owners since it is owned by the govt. it needs that to drive out competition.

They are in for business n to make profit. So don't hope on that.

@ the monk.

Don't worry about specifications of the car.

The wisdom for any third app is to ride on the existing framework of the drivers.

Maintain current prices rate ₦65/km ₦10/min.
and 15% commission.

Gradually, they will also get a share of the market. It might take some time though.

themonk:
Thanks bro,
Will the recent regulation have significant effect on the business?

Not at all. Infact it has legalized d biz .

No rogue elements of d VIO can harass any driver now. All the required details are in public domain.

What I await now is the entrance of the third app, then the jostle for drivers and riders begin

themonk:
I want to buy 2007 corrolla for Uber/Taxify, with the recent regulation that said vehicles of the last 5 years will this still be a good move?

Which and which regulations will affect the business?

No regulations on car model by the LASG. Corolla 07 is very good. Follow instructions of your operator ( Bolt/Uber) and you will b fine.

Avoid trips going to mowe, magboro, arepo.

Going back is war

Mjosh1000:



Dear uber/bolt partners this is the best time to revolt against poor/low fares.

Since the lasG said all cars must have comprehensive insurance.
If everyone partners can come together and not get a comprehensive insurance uber/bolt will log the drivers out and they will not have any income, which will force them to adjust and listen to the low fares wahala..

I wish drivers/partners can use this opportunity to let their voice be heard.

Pls copy and share on every WhatsApp group, blog, forum etc

Unfortunately, only a union can force the hands of Uber and Bolt.

There is so much disunity, nonchalance amongst the thousands of drivers in Lagos.

This disarray further helps the business objectives of the E-hailing companies.

Regrettably, union leadership in Nigeria most tyms look for their selfish aims n not the interest of their members.

It's a really frustrating situation...

[quote author=eyinola post=92828846][/quote]Can't find where they said you should stop doing offline

Abi na dem Uber add that one join.

shollywendy1:
Gurus of offlines. The like of slamstanlee, chucsmoore, pope etc.
LASG said offline trip is prohibited ooo.
Lol

.
I didn't see that. Pls give us a link.

And how do you define offline?

peeps4u:
How does VIO lose out plz?
Are lasdri and hackey not needed again?

They were going to abuse d privilege. They were eagerly waiting for 20th.

But right now, if you r online, it means you hv d documentation, so no story again for d VIO folks.

LASG has listed out d requirements, it's in public domain.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If Uber and Bolt makes Lasdri and Hackney compulsory just like the Driver's license...

Meaning you can't go online if you don't have it?..Then there's nothing to stop a corolla for anymore.

If he can be online, then he has it[/color]

Thanks bro. Succint

#20 per trip. Not bad. Say it's a win - win for both parties....

But d thing go pain VIO small Sha....

deedee44:
Just look out for touts, they're always in uniforms and disguise under names like lastma, police, CBD, LGA and so on.

Don't accept transfer from riders who are not ready to wait till you get alert.

Don't give riders money for anything, they will come with all sorts of touching story.. 90% na wash

I'm hungry, I'll drop the mic here for elders in the house to continue

The 2017-2020 model of cars won't work.

For crying out loud, this is a developing country with a state that is still grappling with infrastructure devpt...

The economy of Lagos state can't support it.

States with advanced economies , California, New York ,Helsinki. don't even make such categorizations.

Any money miss road investor that buys 2017/2020 cars for dis biz will whine n sulk for a long time.


As an operative of any ehailing app, you have to keep moving from one point to another intermittently and that subjects the car to d rigours of wear and tear.

The Baba's with d rickety Volkswagen n Mazda and the traditional airport/ car hire know this Eternal truth. Hence, they park and only move when there is an order/ reservation.,that way they can reduce wear and tear.

eyinola:
yes oooo, today they sent 35 pages agreement ;Dand u must agree before u can go online

Na tight document. You go read d thing, you go tire. Na vex person go take click" I accept"

eyinola:
I took
picture with face mask on everyday before i can go online , but today na pdf file for agreement i just weak

You mean Uber requires one to do this everyday .

That's serious

Crvrider:
Its even a state thing, and not at the federal government level. Lagos state cannot stop Nigerians from accessing the app online.

Lagos state gov is just being foolish. So what happens when we enter 2021? Will the 2017 cars become obsolete?

2017/18 cars for cabs in a developing country....

@ famous.
I thank God for you.

But please, do something for me. Please, report her. please.

If they block her, even for one day, she won't try such again.

slamstanlee:
I saw something on twitter
From 20th this month. Only new cars or 2017 model latest will be allowed on E-Hailing.
And some mad taxing from lagos state government

Let's wait for an official statement from the LASG.

As per the new cars, or 2017., it won't fly. Simple, the economic conditions of Lagos can't sustain it.

2017-2020 model cars in a developing country for cabs.... .
At what fares ₦60/ km?

Kala11:
Pls do you have an idea of how much is Timing chain and Adjuster.

Nope. Ask here, some guys will do justice to it

mabeni:
How much does Toyota corolla 2003 gear box cost now? I'm considering replacing my gearbox.

Range pre covid.
70-80k

Consult one or more mechanics before conclusion.

Crvrider:
Not really. They've been instances where I've picked prices higher than what the rider specified and they accepted.

That's strange Sha. Cos that kind of rider has no biz wt indriver in the first place. He for kuku order bolt or Uber.

How can a typical Nigerian rider quote an initial price offer? Then he/she accepts a counter offer that is higher. .

donfortune48:
Why haven't I been fortunate enough to complete a ride on indriver since I registered?

Request will come, before I'll offer my price, it's already taken.

Got a notification one day. Egbeda-to-cheveron drive. And it was showing #3,100.
Before I'll say let me offer 4k and manage it, trip have already been taken.

That's the price the rider wants to pay.

No haggling of any sort. If you pick a price above wat is being offered, your request will b declined.

Indrive is for riders who r really price conscious.

Crvrider:
The reason uber frowns at cancellation is simply because they feel drivers are converting that request to offline trip.

I would rather say 'cos it bumps/ shatters d reliability of their service.

mabeni:
I started the car this morning but to my amazement, it drove as if nothing happened yesterday.

Why driving home yesterday night switching from DRIVE to gear 2, the belt got damaged and cut into piece but I managed to drive it home from 3rd mainland bridge. I replaced the belt this morning but noticed engine oil is seriously leaking from around the pully holding the belt.

Changed the belt and the car drove smoothly.

Try and inspect the oil seal around the pulley

. You shd get a good one.

brogxy:
Point of correction, OCAR pushed them to it as they never had the intentions of making work easier for the drivers.

AND they didn't push UBER to it.

Business is all about evolving. They had to match up wt competition.

When I tell folks, Bolt has better features. they will say I'm promoting them.

If it was bolt. No need to pick such a ride. Cos, you r seeing THREE critical metrics.
1. Destination n potential km to b covered
2. Pick up distance.
3. Fare estimates

Bolt, WA gbayi.....

chinyce:
Just call the rider guy back and refund him his money with apology. Settle out of uber court. This apps company are not driver friendly. Especially if driver was first to report. And write to u er as quickly as possible to clear your name before the rider rubbishes it.

Feli, follow this advice. Call the rider n apologize.

You can't afford to lose your account.

mrjaydee:
You are wrong boss. Uber only charges if the driver arrives at your pick up, you will get a notification from uber that driver has arrived. Then the 5mins countdown begins.

Very true

mabeni:
What could be happening to my car? Toyota corolla 2003 CE
it suddenly started revving on motion (making noise ) and couldn't move when the gear is on DRIVE. But gear 2 and REVERSE works perfectly.
Once i off the engine and leave it to cool down a bit, DRIVE will work well but once it's hot, it start revving and making noise instead of moving.

Suspects.

1.Throttle actuator

2. Check the cable connections of the fuel pump.
Not d fuel pump itself, but the wiring on the casing.

Felicity0001:
I just did something very bad now but if I can handle it to the very last I won't regret it all.

After my last post I got a trip to magodo via set destination to Abule-Egba. 1.5km to drop off another request came in 6.3km (had I known I wouldnt have picked it.

Rider didnt call till I droppes of and time was 9:51pm already. Dropped off and the. GMap says 3.8km to pickup ETA 18min; 10:03pm.

Put a call through to riderer.

Me: hi, gudevening pls where you going to pls?
R: Berger
M: pls kindly req another ride it's off my path
R: Okay

I thought this guy waa gonna cancel but he didn't.

I calles him again.

M: pls sir you still haven't cancelled.
R: I'll be charged you cancel.
Me: you still have time to cancel without being charged pls kindly cancel so I can get a ride towards my destination.
R: Okay.

Guy still refused to cancel.

I then drove down to pu, waited for about 6min could see it was a card trip na there devil come enter my Godly heart and I said let me teach this guy a hard lesson since you want to spoil my own make me help you spoil your own too.

I started trip, got to Berger did solo 4passengers to ogba. I then decided to end trip at excellent hotel.

As I reach out the stupid guy sent me a textbwithin.

How do I report to uber now is what I'm trying to think now.

If you a good and constructive lie I can give to uber pls help me out.

Bro... Easy o. Some gains some losses in dis racket.
