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:


So in ur mind as someone that has Uber/Bolt driving experience, u think it's better for a driver to drive many kilometers just to accumulate paid waiting? Waiting time and distance covered which one do u think fetches more money?

If driver clicks arrived u will be notified by the App, so how come u didn't notice when driver arrived? Take ur time o. U wan pay N500 from Somolu to airport abi.

I think u too u r criminally minded because if driver forgets to start trip and is driving off, u r supposed to ask him "Have u started the trip?" So there is no shortage in ur fare calculation.

Pearl1910:


Mstewwwww....I thought u have sense.
So it's d trip duration alone that determines the fare abi.

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.

PuZZyNegro:


You're a hoodlum driver and will defend your fellow criminals. Most times, bolt trip will be the same as the estimated so whether the driver drives for 3 minutes, it will be the estimated plus the paid waiting.

Only you know how you do it you criminal drivers to shortchange innocent riders.

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

VaselineCrew:
From my own experience, the driver loses when he starts the trip late, so I don’t know why people are saying if you start the trip late the driver makes money, na wa.

I once took a trip estimated at 2,500, but I forgot to start the trip till we were close to the destination. My pay turned out to be 700 naira, down from the 2,500 - 2,9000 estimate.




Think about it, why will bolt charge you the estimated charge when the reality is different? It’s like going for a 50km trip and then ending the trip after 1km and expecting bolt to still charge for the 50km.

The only wrong thing I see here is waiting when you haven’t actually reached the pickup point.

Some riders don’t understand how the app works at alllllll. I once told this rider that I’m ending the trip so as to save her money, the. She started arguing, albeit mildly, implying I wanted to cheat her. How can ending the trip and still driving you to your destination be seen as me trying to cheat you? Something you should be saying thank you for.


Anyways, where is cheerful giver? I hope he is hale and hearty!

PuZZyNegro:


Mr senseless, how do you explain such a trip duration? Why did my trip start at mobalaji bank Anthony way as against where the driver picked me?

Please, explain the saka you criminals do to arrive at such ridiculous fair trips. That trip shouldn't be more than 1200. I drive on the platform and I know the estimated trip amount for such a distance.

donfortune48:


I once got a request (early last year) from Akowonjo to lekki(Piccadilly suites). Around 9:30pm.

I picked up rider and negotiated offline with her (4k). But I was chasing weekend bonus and wanted to start and end the trip after driving for few minutes. So I left it on paid waiting.

I didn't start the trip till I got to Chisco bus stop (4th round about) with about 45mins paid waiting and ended it just after making a U-turn at Igbo efun, hoping to see #800 but saw 4,700.

I had to review the trip with trip did not happen.

Pearl1910:


Go and ask Bolt, don't blame driver for technical errors shown on map.
If that driver thinks he wants to cheat u by accumulating waiting time at the expense of distance covered, he is a mumu. And If u have sense u should be happy that the mumu driver short-changed himself. Cos If d driver had started that trip from pick up point, ur fare would have been more than that.

U even had a Bonus of 800, u paid only 900 on that trip and u r here venting. Chai..omashey o. poverty is bad. Please next time take d mode of transportation u can afford so u don't have a heart attack.

Pearl1910:


Two possible scenarios...
1. This trip was most likely on 1.9 surge. So d minimum fare X d Surge gave u 1k.

2. Lets assume there was no surge, Because u did all that at the destination, the App actually senses that u forgot to start d trip. Hence the 9.3km distance recorded but no trip duration included. Now, that is not the correct estimated fare for the trip. Cos estimated fare would have factored the trip duration but what u have there is only duration and base fare.

Now, the fact that u didn't even click arrive makes it impossible for the App to calculate where u possibly started the trip from to were u ended it, as u are insinuating.

Ask yourself if u didn't get to that destination maybe she asked u to go to VI and u did all that arrive, start and end when u got to VI, what do u think u will see as fare?. Is it still d estimate??

If u did all that arrive, start on ur way while still driving u would have gotten d time u drive and d distance covered for he remainder of the trip only. Plus the surge if any.

davit:
Imagine: from Shomolu to Airport!

Imagine: from Shomolu to Airport!

geezyk:

1. There's no surge whatsoever.
2. It calculated the distance of 9.3km even without arriving, i bet the algorithm made the calculation on the estimated price and that i started and ended the trip as said destination. If we went to VI from there even without my knowledge of starting the trip, distance will be calculated minus time spent on the trip.

Pearl1910:


And u my friend are a Criminal, if u think a trip estimated at 1k will remain 1k even when u encounter unusual traffic that makes a 10 mins trip to extend to 1hr. That will be ur portion every time u drive when next u decide to get on d wheels.

The way you've been defending this whole issue of paid waiting just goes to show you're guilty of it.

This sakategy has been in place for almost two years, if not more. When I was active, I drove on Uber alone and most times, I go to Chevron drive, I hear drivers discussing this and teaching themselves how to go about it.

You're afraid your only way of earning so much (illegitimately) while working less, is about to be made known to riders and would therefore affect your criminal earnings.

Like they say, everyday is for the thief, one day is for the owner.

Y'all ants are about to be busted.
Insulting hardworking drivers and making them feel like they aren't working well enough, while you inflate your earnings by cheating the system.

You do not want riders to be aware of the situation, hence your reason for defending vehemently.

ThatNiccur:


Stop making it seem like Somolu is all that far from the airport, it actually isn't.

Somolu is close to either Palmgrove or Onipanu, both places aren't so far from Maryland, Maryland all the way to the airport isn't far away either.

Y'all should stop defending criminal drivers, who would cheat the system by allowing the paid time to read, up until almost the end of the trip, because they know fully well that the system would calculate the distance covered, regardless of where they choose to start the trip, thereby playing on the intelligence of riders, it is wrong.

Pearl1910:


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. Ha 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.

Pearl1910:


See beef o...high earnings... hardworking
If u say a driver arrives when he hasn't arrived, I will agree with u. Drivers do that, and the difference is most times about N50 or N100. is it that one I will use to buy another car or make 25k daily?

If u say a driver starts d trip before getting to pickup, I will agree with u cos that will definitely increase the fare.

The argument this morning is a driver will click arrive, pick up rider and not start trip until he is half way into d trip. So yes, he has accumulated waiting time, but has lost money for the distance he has covered. Oga, since u guys cannot think for urself, let me tell u today right now that d driver has lost earnings, even now that waiting time is high unlike before that it was insignificant.

For you to be taking lessons from drivers that park and gist on Chevron drive, I already have a picture of who u r, ur mentality and how u reason.

Lol, It's funny this Paid Waiting trick is just getting to this group, even more funnier people are arguing it doesn't work

The trick don cast tho, doesn't work anymore....a lot of driver used it to Cashout when it was in full flow...Bolt blocked most of em and stopped it.

If alot of people learn about the "yahoo" part of bolt, they'll buy their own cars in 6 months. Uber doesn't give 2 fvcks about u, shit doesn't work on their platform.

This one below has been going on since 2020, and will not end anytime soon

PS: SAY NO TO FRAUD

PuZZyNegro:


You see reason with me. I live very close to Palm Groove bus stop. You will enter Ikorodu road within 2 minutes of driving out of my house.

From that place through Anthony, Maryland, climb Ikeja bridge to Airport without any traffic. How can such a short trip end 1700?
