Please can someone help me and explain what this means I'm new in this

Are you sure you read that screenshot?

What that thing is saying is that the guy has either cancelled or not picked 30% of his orders since he started driving on bolt.

This means the one bolt shows us on the app which tracks our last 50 rides is irrelevant. They have their own "tracker" which they will use to drop a hammer on a driver irrespective of what's on his app.

Rider: Please take me to Paradise Estate, we want to quickly see someone.
Me: Hope we won't stay long?

Rider 3: But the guy is not here yet. The guy she came to see is not even here and you are saying we should go down, where do you want us to stay?

Me: (Start my engine and started reversing) Madam, I am going home, its almost midnight and curfew starts by 12 besides the App closes by 12, so we can't have a business after now.

Rider 1: (Rush in, Ah! What's the meaning of this, you ended the ride, why?) Is it because its a card trip?
Me: Even if it was cowries, I would have collected my money from you here and now.

Probably the guy should post is activity for 50 trips to confirm if bolt is using the one on the app or they have their own tracker.
But it will be unfair if they have another tracker...

Looking at the auto section one can't imagine the outrageous cost of buying a foreign used car.

Presently, cost of Corolla 03/07 is btw 2.2m-2.7/2.8m
Cost if Honda civic 03/07 is btw 1.8m-2.4/2.5m
Camry 03/05 is btw 1.8m-2.4m newer years are more expensive.

As an entrepreneur one has to be innovative, conservative, have a good managerial skills with a lot of critical reasoning.

The purpose of every business is to first satisfy cuatomers, to make and maximize profit but with the high cost of foreign vehicles and maintenance cost recently how can investor achieve that?

In the past 24hrs I've read threads on different platforms to see how Owner Partners complain of the lack of profit due to high cost of the popular brands (Corolla, civic, camry etc) couple with high maintenance/repair cost. What are the way out? how do owners reduce running cost? which other vehicle alternate/type should be considered competitive enough to match the standard or even beat that of the popular brands as listed above with lesser purchasing amount, equal or moderately fuel consumption, durability, ruggedness and most importantly meet customers satisfaction. Even if the resale value is not appreciable but at least the business purpose can easily be meet in at least 12months.

Lets use the following car brands as an alternative for this discussion stating the year and type.

1) Mercedes Benz
2) Mazda
3) Mitsubishi
4) Opel
6) Volvo
7) Nissan
Peaguot
9) Honda CRV

From my little research a foreign used of the above listed car brands is btw 1.2m-1.7m. Like we all know these where the prices of the popular brand - Corolla few years ago with profit being made at a lower rate, so now if one can change the narrative and be lucky to get a brand that will compete or compare with either the corolla or civic then it will be safe to invest again into the uber business.

Please your take on this issue is greatly needed and will be appreciated.

Thanks as you keep it coming.

Got it for 1.7

2005
2.4ltr 5cyl engine
Automatic

Sundays and Saturdays I average 12.6 to 12.9per 100km Weekdays it jumps to between 12.9 to 13.4 depends on traffic and ESPECIALLY how aggressively you drive.
The car is a beast performance-wise, top speed 260, I've tried to 170.
comfort is top notch, better seats with lumber support (10 way adjustable memory seats)
6 cd changer, 8-speaker system, MADD Sound. And it's still not full options o, mine is missing dvd, 12 speaker premium sound system and 17 inch wheels.
I remember taking these two guys to river valley, they were into music, oh lord, they too gbadun the sound, dude kept commenting and commending.

Even the base trim comes with a kind of hybrid mixture of leather and fabric seat and solid sound system too

The effect on riders is something else. First off, the rider just assumes the car is mine so the attitude is different. Then they like that it's a different car from the usual then the premium feel of it. Definitely there are some that still give an attitude but, that's negligible.
I particularly enjoy watching people go to the corolla first before realising they're at the wrong car. Sometimes I'm right in front of them but they'll still be looking for me.

In my my search for a car then, this was how I ranked them and if I'm to do it all again this is how it stands.
S40
C180
VW Jetta
Honda Civic/Mazda 3
I'll take the car everyday of the week and twice on Sundays

What bolt have been doing since few days ago, I noticed short trips always end at 600 unlike the former 500h

RUDEBOYY:
Most times they will give me new order while I'm still on another...I'm I going to divide myself into two??
Please how can I stop this from repeating

morax101:


Once you’re on a trip, click the three lines to the right and then click on stop new request. That way, no new request until you confirmed the one you’re on.

That is the right way to do it.

northbird:


The first column 43% nailed you. No harm in picking of trips even if you are on a ride.
No probs. Go for the training and you are good.

kanuisagoat:


They obviously have another tracker.

That is why some people will say they got blocked with having passenger did not show at 22% while another person with 28% has not gotten blocked.

They obviously use a threshold that is a percentage of all your total orders and not the last 50 orders they show us

BAZ001:


Rudeboyy, activity report shows they are using the app threshold and not invisible tracker.
It would have been unfair if they have another tracker.

Rudeboyy
You are obviously very new cos you just did 14 trips, they will unblock you today without going for training.

Make sure you accept all trips. Any request that comes first accept it before you decide if you will go or not.
