You go like make I feed your part of the violence? The guy is saying his money is 4500, I just deh laff em make e dey play. After spending such hours in traffic, he is expecting me to go home with 3750. Is that not the origin of wickedness? Make I carry em play small too. Two can be mad

Pearl1910:

@ Pope.
Indrive is pushing a narrative that riders can just offer any fares they like, it's possible ,maybe in other cities. But in Lagos, pricing has to be dynamic.. or create adequate compensation inlieu.

I still wonder the guys that pick those berger trips on Indrive,what are they smoking 🚬? Cos I don't seem to understand

E hailing is a very dicey business, I always ask people to follow what works for them. Some riders pick ride based on proximity, some just leave the price floating for hours on rida/indrive. There's this guy with a picture of a baby on afro, guess his name is Oluwadamilare. He can leave price floating for 2hours. Why he does that? I don't know. I have few like that too, I don't bother picking their trips again. The career types are the worst hit on this. Now imagine a driver with only one app after other apps has blocked him or her?

Pearl you see these your people... una say make I return 300 naira abi? Ohk! I don hear.

Pearl1910:
Lolz...Wetin carry u come Bolt?
Reply them back stating the trip distance, Duration, and surge multiplier. Plus amount of fuel u used on the trip due to serious traffic.
Return fire.

I no be human being? Is using Bolt not witin my right and jurisdiction as a driver? Truth is you cant calculate Berger traffic and the riders on other app are not willing to go beyond 4500, while some drivers are unapologetically fo*ls. As at 11pm I am still in Magodo phase 2, thinking of how to get home. Saw a trip on rider for 2000 to ishaga and map was saying 38 mins. I was battling with the lady for mins, gave her 3400, thinking it was a field day for me. From no where this driver just dived by accepting 2k. I won cry, lo and behold he wasn't able to complete the trip. The trip came back as 2k again, I still use strong head give her 3k, which she accept. Guess what? We got to her destination by 12:30am.

As for the Bolt ride, they didn't even calculate the distance well as we branch to another place and I use mile 12 to connect ikosi. The main trip without those waka is 15.7km, they can't tell me the other waka is 1km.

tojahh:
Leave awa Bolt for us

They didn't even calc. the distance well. Asking me to return 4500, are deh whinnin me?

Pearl come and carry your people. So I pick a trip on Bolt from unilag to Magodo. Trip starts at 6.08pm and end at 9:58 at 16.7k on a surge of 1.3. The fare returned as 9k, only for me to receive a message from David about rider complaining of over charge, I should return 4500 to his bank account

I don't understand, they should just block me.

Some clients will call u when they see that the fare has sky rocketed, but want to pay the usual fare. I just tell them I am not available. I still collected 11k now now from Ojuelegba to Berger. Offline will not pay that much. Even u sef will not be able to bill ur customer like that.

11k! E choke!!

ReadaDream:
Pope abeg I no like spending hours in traffic o. E they always pepper me for body. That's why I try to leave my house as early 4am. I also know my route, I no request to pick and to ignore.

I knew today was going to be rough, traffic wise, so I tried to go out last night but Sangotedo traffic said for where? We die there . Naso I slept off while monitoring traffic condition. Woke up early and dashed out only to still get stuck in traffic for hours.

If not that the Chinese guy called me to come pick him. I won't stay out till 12pm before I run back home.

I have no problem driving long distance, what I dislike is traffic. I don go Abuja twice this year.

You cant be on this hustle and don't have a thing for traffic better start working from home if you don't like traffic

TippuTip:
That's why in Lagos cabbies are called oko ashewo. Meanwhile majority 'A-list' artistes are ghetto-born people who made good...most of them street pass you wey dey drive them sef

Thank you

Dshocker:
Am not an Uber driver though, but i have someone that does it.

An A-list artist cannot take an Uber to their destination.

It all depend on what A-list artist mean to you. Some so called A-list artist are broke today. Someone on the platform once pick King Sunny Ade. Remember he is A plus plus. I once pick Aremu Afolanya's

Dshocker:
Truth be say, rich chics that came from wealthy homes barely use e-hailing cab, because most times, they have their own car.

95% of female riders na hustler.

I believe people use e-hailing rides for different reasons, many faces we dont know. I once pick a celeb, she was a bit scared as someone booked the ride for her. Me I don't know her and I am rude in my way if I don't know you simple means I don't know you, don't be hyping needless. She was just being terrified through out the trip and was even regretting why she didn't request for escort. Inside my mind, on top this my korope, madam park well jare we meet with another celeb I knew very well, a legend in the music industry. So I went online to check her out and found out I know her song, but not her face.

She call me time to time, but offline is not really my thing. Picked her like 3 times after that and that's it. My point? Some people don't find long distance driving fun. Tojahh, northbird, pearl, Readadream are the ones that doesn't have issues with spending 4-6 hours in traffic. So when it comes to come and break your back, they reach out for them.

northbird:
Pope, see your man oh.

My tired is tired like this. Seems I'll be doing one day on, one day off for now. The way drivers are picking trip picking 3100 to berger this evening from yaba. Even me that picked 5100, my back hia shege.

tojahh:
Is this playing?

What kind of playing is this?


2016 post?

E shock u

tojahh:
Should I come and join your Ajo? But na me go fes pack o

I say sure... once you join like this, sure go exit

Duplik8t77:
I will keep the car and go ahead with the hustle. Thanks boss

Don't just keep the car, if you are not married Or pay rent? Give it all to get your own. Join sure ajo, have your own personal savings. Just overlook some gratification for now and enjoy later.

He may still come tomorrow and take his car.

Duplik8t77:
he had been notifying me since about 3 months ago. The initial agreement was for me to pay 30k. Then he called for increment and redrafted another agreement

Boss 3 month is long enough of a time. My problem here is if it is rental. As Northbird says it is marginal, but in-between it is not easy. As owner I can tell for real.

My advice to you is to try and be saving money, if you have enough experience before December, that is a ground for drivers to have much. Boss with a savings of 500k, you are half way to getting something of your own.

Pearl1910:
Any Uber specified car between that price range is fine. The list of recommended cars has been extensively drawn out on this thread.

As for the other part; that is why I said I am just answering his question. U never know maybe the contract has finished or will stop coming. In a country like naija, where when ur contact leaves office all d benefits u enjoyed will stop.
Plus, He didn't say he wants to stop the contracts, he is looking at how to invest his money.
So without any pre-emptment, he can go ahead.

I knew list has been drawn, but I ask because you didn't specify between naija or tokunbo.

Well it is up to him to say if the contract is still on or not. Obviously there's money in e hailing, but I'll say to just get by and hooke's law sets in. One really have to be crafty, I use the word crafty in a bright sense to make the money. Inflation is biting seriously in the country presently. Japa will take drivers like 4 years to save the money UK or Canada money now.

Duplik8t77:
bro my partner just increased my remittance fee from 30k to 35k. I guess it is cos I remit frequently without stories. I am torn between returning the car and continuing with the car. Started using the car November last year. Talmabout alot of drivers are even offering to pay him 40k weekly.

This is not a case, do you guys have agreement? What are the clauses in the agreement? How long notice did he gave you before the new payment?

Pearl1910:
To answer your question alone without considering other information on ur post I would say Yes, u can buy a good car within between 1.5m to 2.5m and use for ehailing. Transportation business will forever be relevant and profitable, so it's a wise investment.

Boss when you say good car between 1.5 to 2.5 please be specify on the good car. So we your students can learn.

What actually crossed my mind when I saw 3.5m was why not continue with what help him save the money since 2020 and maybe e hailing on the side. Get a naija used car of not more than 1.5/1.8 and go into other investment or save the rest. On the flip, it is not as if 3.5m is much if he is not a man enough, but if he is a man enough and in between life struggles can still save 3.5m? Thumbs up.

Deypray:
Yeah, but I was targeting staffs going back home. Set my destination to Berger. Got one going to ogba.so at the end it worked.

Nice one

Deypray:
Inside Luth for over an hour. No single ride offer. I feel something is wrong.

luth has never been a good please for trip, else you will be getting trips from Mushin.

northbird:
@ honoruable
First things first,You have no business with Indrive at this stage of yours.
You don't have the experience, there are sharks in the waters you chose to swim.. For now,pitch your tent with Bolt.

Focus on the objective which is 10k net. Infact, on a norms,10k net is easy on Bolt. By 1pm or thereabout, you should have this in the bag. Go back home, relax and focus on your other business. Easy ...

So I did 7200 on in drive from Kofo to Berger yesterday boss. The trip wasn't up to 2hrs 30 mins. I'm sure rider won't try such again.

SeyiJay:
I like your muzik collection bro, ... those funky 80's & 90's.

Nah so boss... classic FM always jam them

Barbiturate:
Yeye people

He won't go for such, but negotiate rider's initial price. Our problem nah over smart for this country.

Dailyparrot:
I personally find radio disturbing most of the time. So, when a rider says, turn the radio off, it's like we're operating on the same frequency.

The constant music can affect the ear though so people should take note. It's even the riders that use to ask if my radio is not working.

Please I want to ask, does Bolt include the Ikeja City Mall toll in the fare.

Radio can only be distraction to me while in traffic and I'm looking at my fuel gauge. Nothing in this world will make sense to me. But you see this hustle, music has been pne of the therapy that kept me going. Those 3rd mindland traffic, I'll give it to Brymo, Nas and Jayz with my old schools selection depending on mood. Once I put my ear piece on, nothing concern me and rider again. If you like off the radio or on it, I careless. I can drive for 2 days straight with good vibes. Most case I use one ear, except in some case.

Deypray:
Abeg, is it only me facing this in bolt this morning.

I'm getting order notification (sound) but there's no order in the real sense. I went offline, still getting sound notification for orders.

I'm even seeing rider cancelled order. Is something wrong?

village people... no how deh no fit enter person

Bring schnapps and bitter kola make I use wash your eyes.

Some Uber/Bolt drivers are actually very stupid and deserve to die in a car crash.

How can you be driving while you are tired and sleeping on the steering? Are you that greedy?

You cannot make all the money in the world while driving for Bolt/Uber. So why the risk?

I was hit by a driver yesterday night by around 2am while on my way home. I wasn't speeding, only for me to hear gbam! behind my car.

When I came down to check the damage, I couldn't even fight him, because his own car somersaulted and the damage was madt. It was a miracle he didn't die yesterday.

I was angry and felt pity for the slowpoke at the same time. The damage on my car was minimal so I decided to leave the driver alone.

If I wanted to be difficult, I would have insisted he paid for the damage yesterday, because it was clearly his fault.

To all drivers, don't allow your greed be the end of you.

But if you don't value your life, you can go ahead and take unnecessary and pointless risks, all in the name of meeting "target".

You still won't be rich. You will be running circles in poverty. So why the risk?

I hope someone learns from this.

You might be on the right, but you lack manner on how to pass massage. Have you ever heard of casualty on account of someone's else error? Did you read the Ibinabo Fiberesima story?

Take a chill please and don't wish anyone evil, even in their state of ignorance. All you can do is to advice.

Pearl1910:
Mariner is sweet, end your trip on the bridge and collect your money. Don't drop anybody on the main road, either enter other small streets on d left or chook head like u want to enter one of the car parks and drop passenger and move.
But me if it's afternoon, I enter car park either the one opposite UBA or Oando. Pay N500 for car park, set destination back to Berger or Akute. There's always Surge from afternoon, no how u will not get trip of 7k back to d mainland within 1hour. Inside car park u have peace of mind. And the trip u will carry will cover all your cost and time.
The problem with most of us is that we don't want to spend any money, we don't want to pay commission, we don't want to pay small car park money, so drivers prefer to be driving round, giving themselves HBD or hypertension and eventually still fall for lastma or taskforce and pay high fines.

But Pope this 18k from 5pm on a day like yesterday, hmmmm...na magic u do? The Indrive that I know before u make 4k u must cross thirdmainland bridge or U go Ojo/Alaba/Tradefair. If u r on island u must cross bridge again or u reach Sangotedo.
I think U where just lucky, it's not a normal thing.

you self see the stress at Mariner, but I think it will be light now since they have open the other road. I know places to park at Mariner, I will only pay 200, but riders are not always reasonable and gives one stress. Come to this place, I am here, I have load... oh! I left there, which Oando. I know they like long thing. Mariner have always been surge zone, anytime, any day. Wahala just plenty there.

As much as I'll say last night can as well been view from luck, but I was determined and it is just my normal style.
First trip was Ogba to Opebi link 1900. The whole place was blocked, told rider to cross to the other side, we use police station side to connect metal box. O ti lor
Second trip Bamishile to Oduduwa GRA 2k. Use the back to connect back to toyin street, enter MBA from custom. O ti lor
3rd trip from GRA to unilag 3k. Use ABC back to enter Yaba tech. O ti lor
4th trip from unilag to Musa Yaradua 4.2k plus 300 for extra stop. Normal normal
5th trip from A. Bello way to Akerele 3k. Stuck in traffic after the exit of Illubirin to ijora bridge. Rider was cool, chatty and fun as rider. Nice it up to 3500 for the drag.
6th trip from Lere to aromire iwo Ikosi 3400. I would have play with that trip. It was 10pm already and map was showing an hour. Need to go home and before I go give price, one driver come show me shege the worst trip of yesterday. End up spending 1 30mins. Yeye girl, bone up and even have to go thro back gate as main gate was on lock. Come and pay type and not even good night or thank you after trip. 1 star straight.

Pearl1910:
On Bolt that's not a problem. Cos u aren't the one paying for the traffic. I still did a trip today from marina to ketu 9k, Maryland to Opebi 2,400 etc. One of the many reasons I stick with Bolt even with the 25% commission. One can easily meet his target even during winter on Bolt, so truly I see no reason I will go n be fasting and praying to make trips on Indrive and Rida.
What u guys should do is find a way around the Driver Score thing and u will just be using Indrive as backup

I think by now we should be over this and everyone should do what works for them. No app is worthy of loyalty. Mariner to Ketu if not Ikosi, is two dead end zone. Who still goes to Mariner? I came out 5pm today and did 18k, not that I didn't see trip to make more, but I am so satisfied with that.

NB : once they finish Berger road and no traffic as it is now, I hope the surge will still be there.

73O9:
Any driver that hasn't experienced those cases should be a part time driver.

Ah deh tell you.
