Exactly. I noticed same last week when I ordered a ride for someone. I knew the exact time the driver arrived and started the trip. But at the end of the ride, I saw waiting time too. Nonetheless, the fare was still same. So riders should stop worrying about this breakdown. Na Bolt know wetin dem dey do.

Pearl1910:


It's not always the case that drivers arrive before getting to pick up point.
I think d App coy is mixing up the breakdown, the overall fares are in other, if u remove the said wait time then the fares will not be realistic.

Dashboard ba wo! You no dey c watin dey happen for house since... There's fire on the mountain! Ants are running they've been busted of one of their greatest tactics of high dashboard
Riders are wisening up ... Wow! See shaka na
You go fear fear.

Take for instance, a trip from lekki to ago Palace rd
Distance: 20km
ETA: 2hrs

They arrive normal normal, rider comes in maybe after 10min

Driver: good evening
R: sorry I took time to come out
D: no problem at all, can we go now?
R: yes pls

They bring up a discussion to distract the passenger so they don't notice weather they're starting the ride or not.

Half way into the ride
D: oh I forgot to start the ride
R: oh, sorry hope this won't affect you money
D: don't worry its fine
(lies, you know that rat with long mouth, it's blows breeze into your leg whereas it's eating you deep inside)

Wait time had already gotten to about 1hr+
The way bolt is program is irrespective of where you start the ride it will still calculate the exact km estimated for the trip but now the paid wait time would have shoot the trip fare higher than estimated.

End of trip, rider won't even want to argue the price again even if it exceeds the estimated price because they must have been thinking in their minds they where short charged since trip started half way not knowing baba has played a fast one on them.

Rider will still tip driver and still give him 5star rating believing he's a good person but actually driver is an inkapy rat (the rat with the long mouth)

Now tell, me why God in heaven will not punish such a wicked and heartless people?

Ha! Busted

Fa fa fa fowl (abi na foul)
Recent development has shown u don't know anything.
Bolt will calculate ur exact money from where u start trip to where u End the trip.
If u like try am from Lekki to Berger. Start ur trip from Ogudu na 1k u go see at the end of the trip plus waiting time money.

I repeat, wait time and distance covered which is better? Otondo

This is how a normal trip should read. Most of these drivers are criminals. I am a driver too but will never cheat a rider to make extra profit.

That's why I keep wondering what these guys making millions a month are doing differently if not beating the system to their advantage and ignorance of the riders.

As a driver, there are times you will end trip without getting any immediately, you will drive to location and rider will cancel, etc. There are a lot of things that will consume your time that when you check it very well, except for bonus, most drivers should be having between 15k to 20k net income legitimately.

This trip below was on a surge and ended 1400 for 17 minutes drive. Another ended the same 17 minutes at 2300.

Cat no dey house rats don turn king for house.
So una get mouth like dis ?
Whattttt

Well, I will seat at the fence and watch the return of ants and supporters

IFSHR:



Felicity, I beg to differ with that part I highlighted, bolt don't calculate the estimated km, they calculate the actual kilometer covered... Judging from your postulate, are you saying if a driver picks someone at point A going to point B and the rider introduced a point C and D, before arriving to point B, the app will only calculate the estimated km for point A to Point B ?, False..... Bolt app calculate the actual km covered, any idiot driver that starts a trips minutes after picking up a rider is only undermining his earnings, if he thinks he is beefing up paid waiting, as the trip km covered only starts when he starts the ride.

I don't support fraud and cheating, but some of this rider won't come out clean on how they delayed the driver as well.

U have sense jare...leave Felicity. Someone that claims he has 4yrs experience. Before when people insult him I used to pity him.

Felicity001:


From your analogy your right bolt will calculate the total distance covered but on this particular instance without diversion or introduction of point C, D or E the bolt app will calculate the estimated distance for the trip and calculate the time in addition. Order a ride n try it to see for yourself.

A bolt driver had done it to me few months ago before. I'll look for the receipt and share if I see it.

This is why I like the Uber app, if you're starting a ride out of the PU threshold you must input a code from the rider's app and your start up point will be where you started the ride n not where the original PU is

Lie lies lies.
U try it and see first if it works that way before u come and be talking. U be jambite as far as am concerned ur driving time on d platform is not upto 3months so I am not surprised at the things u r saying.

But why do the trip details shown here say otherwise especially for the person that said the driver slided arrived and started the trip in his presence?

I sha know that drivers are beating the system.

That shows that bolt is in the best position to answer, rather than create a negative vibe towards drivers.. some drivers are guilty of sliding arrive even when far, but it can be all, especially using your example as case study....

I think Felicity001 is right, took a lady to the mmia, she was in a hurry as her dad forgot his passport at home, we got there ended the trip fare was 1100, she asked i take her back, told her to re-order as I was chasing a bonus, I accepted and zoomed off, didn't even swipe arrived, got to her destination, opened my phone to see that I hadn't started the trip, I arrived and started trip, ended immediately, and fare was 1k. So it's quite possible felicity is right.


For doubting Thomas's

Pearl1910:


See this one sef dey talk. U wey no Sabi anything. U go buy.... make I no talk sef
Disappointed!!!

You go buy what ?

Talk or make dru23 come help you complete am?

a. Mobil 1
b. Mercedes
c. Coolant
d. Benz (RHD)
e. All of the above.

This is never possible, the minimum fare is 600 and you got 1k because the trip was on a surge. If you like drive from epe to iyanapaja without "arriving and starting the trip" then do that afterwards nah 600 you go get.

What you got was base fare + paid waiting.....Felicity illustration is wrong

Paid waiting? I didn't even swipe arrived, I accepted the trip and zoomed cos of airport people, only to get to the destination and swipe arrived started and ended trip immediately.

His illustration might be wrong, but this is what I experienced, I was afraid I carried the lady for free ni.

Can u upload the trip details from your app if you still have it ?

Or share the pick up point and drop off....let's calculate to validate the claim of 1k

U, just don't make any comment...cos u don't drive on Bolt.

1. The first trip.
2. Return trip.

1. Judging from the receipt of the 2nd screenshot....can you say you are not short changed?

2. Felicity perspective comes to play here, and it proofs that it will only count when you forget to start a trip and starts at the end point, what you will get is just the estimated km fare and the time frame, but if you start half way, it will only consider the km covered and time spent....

tunlapapa:

I sha know that drivers are beating the system.

The person also said his fare was correct. So what's d headache for.
The problem is people don't want to pay for services rendered they feel drivers should be carrying them free of charge sef. Imagine someone complaining Somolu to Airport 1700.
Most definitely there was surge from Somolu.

Yaba to Festac for 2800 and u r still complaining.

Chevron to Magboro 10k and u r complaining. Magboro, that u will go and turn after Redeem and face Lagos again. Haba, na wa o.

And some drivers are here spewing rubbish from their ignorant brains.
Omo na few things they vex me; cheating and ignorant talk is on the list.

I was shortchanged, but I'm glad I even had a fare in the first place, the return journey was less than 10 mins as the road was extraordinarily free.

But then, it still boils down to the fact that, even without starting the trip from point A-B you'll still get the estimated fare minus the time spent on the trip.

Yes, but not if you start half way...if you had started that trip half way....the actual km covered will have applied, as the app will assume that point you started as your new pick up point ... starting at the end point only passes one message to the app, that you forgot to start the trip.....so the actual km will be effected but time spent will not be commensurate....mostly less than 2min since you at the destination already.

Low fares no dey even inspire me to drive again, from mmia to chevron na like 4k, there was a day I picked a rider from vgc to mm1 and fare was 5k, omo I just weak even with traffic, riders want to pay zero to nothing for comfort, and them go still complain give you -1 star


Una wey dey go after Berger dey try. Anything after Berger you no fit use rope drag me sha.

That's another way to look at it, guess the app bot has been programmed that way.
