Few of my recent experiences.

See how they keep recalculating

Pearl1910.
The argument the last time is that people arrive at pickup, start driving to rider's destination leaving the trip on paid waiting without starting it. Once they're some kilometers to rider's destination or even at the destination, they will start the trip knowing that the distance covered will still be included by the app.
By then the paid waiting must have accumulated quite well; especially on surge trip.

I even illustrated my experience here which is the basis of my own assertion. Which is...

Once you click the arrived button, any distance you covered from that point whether you started the trip or not must be calculated for you. Even if the final destination is not same with what rider put.

If you clicked arrived at Sangotedo, and drove till ogudu before starting the trip while the destination is Berger bust stop, the app will calculate the total distance you covered from Sangotedo to Berger bus stop.

Where the cheating comes in now is the time/trip duration.
The time spent from Sangotedo to Ogudu will be calculated as paid waiting (#24/min), while the time spent from Ogudu to Berger bus stop will be calculated with normal time (#12/min)

Imagine leaving a trip of 1.9 surge on paid waiting for over an hour. That's almost #50 per min times 60mins. Which is almost #3k.
Here, the paid waiting added an extra #1.5k to the original fare the trip should have ended.

Why you think that these can't be programmed into the App is what I don't understand yet.

You may Carry Joe boi, Tiwa savage or even Pocohantas on Uber one day.

Unfortunately, she's porting to bolt gradually

Well...it's fine, but I don't know what happened that u are asking for compensation.
I think the story is important too. Personally, I no get strength for all these N200 additions.

Yes, we have done all these analysis. And ur example was from a long time ago, when App wasn't so well... U and I know that could have gone anywhere. Because before u can carry someone fro Lekki to Berger and see 1500 at the end of trip.

And I am yet to see somebody doing this very example u just showed now. From Sangotedo to Berger but starting trip at Ogudu. Then let's see what App will calculate for u as distance covered.
Yes, we agree paid waiting will count, but the million dollar question is "will distance covered still be calculated from Sangotedo to Berger or from Ogudu to Berger where trip started from?" If the answere is that it will start from Sangotedo where Rider inputed, it then means that like Kanuisagoat said, if rider put Lekki Phase 1 but u pick rider in Ajah, ur trip will still be calculated from Lekki Phase 1, Is this what is obtainable?. Now this is what I am arguing against. I am not just talking for the fun of it but reasonably so.

This argument makes sense from both sides, but let's look at the facts, if someone claims that paid waiting of 3k was added to his fare, if we deduct the paid waiting from the fare, what will be left of the fare? Will it be a representation of the correct fare all things being equal?? If u come with answers to these questions then we will conclude these argument.

Kanuisagoat said estimate for the trip was 1400 or 1500 and that's what the rider paid. So if he claims paid waiting increased the fare, if we deduct 400+ plus from that fare,rider would have paid fare less than estimate. So what are we saying?

pocohantas:


God forbid bad thing…

donfortune48:


1) what happened to me doesn't look like an app miss function. If it was programmed by Bolt then, why will they remove it now? When it is actually a good feature that helps driver avoid loss when they forget to start a trip.

2) what I illustrated from Sangotedo to Berger is not same as rider putting Lekki Phase 1 to surulere while she's in Ajah.
Mine is that, when rider puts Lekki Phase 1 to surulere while she's in Ajah and you got to Lekki Phase 1, clicked arrived and then discovered that she is in Ajah, if you drive from Phase 1 to Ajah, pick up passenger and started the trip from Ajah to surulere, while you 1st clicked arrived in Phase1 before driving to Ajah, Bolt will calculate the total distance you covered from phase1-to-Ajah-to-Surulere into the trip.
It'll also count the minutes from phase1 to Ajah as paid waiting.

3) someone already posted screenshot of a trip from Chevron Drive to Magboro that was started on Lagos Ibadan express way. I'm sure you didn't miss that.
So I don't know the proof you seek again.

Pearl1910:


1. You are not supposed to forget to start your trip, but if u do and at the end of the trip I complain and request for ur complete fare because u forgot to start trip, bolt will investigate, probably ask Rider before they complete ur money. I still don't believe the App will do that for u midway into d trip, except u have gotten to destination and it's obvious u forgot.

2. Now this is another level o. I was of the opinion it's only the trip from where u start that will count. This one u r saying app will calculate from Lekki Phase 1 to Ajah then add Ajah to Surulere where u started trip to ur money is alien to me. And I am not sure it is correct. Ur trip will start counting when u click start trip to when u end trip it's as simple as that. Except u forget to start trip and u get to destination.

3. That person didnt go on that trip so we can't tell for sure why that happened. We don't know if there was surge or not. And if we apply my logic to that trip by deducting about 4,500 that was d paid waiting on that trip from the total fare of 10k u n I know that Chevron to Redeem, back to Magboro will be more than 6k.
Make we reason am na.

All this Una argument no even matter for my city.
Na still your 400N you go later see at the end even if you wait for Jesus kristi

IFSHR:


He over stated most of the price with 1k-2k.....so price it ....there some things on the list you can get yourself, if not all

Engine oil, oil filter (na 800-1k) , fuel shey him wan drive the car to somewhere ni...1k fuel is okay, filter net na 1.5k - 2k, oil pump na 6k- 8k (he is not buying OEM ), corn rod ( na 2k)

Try and negotiate further, I am sure he quoted those price expecting you will negotiate..

Peace

Is bolt in promo season? 90% of trips have been on discount

northbird:


ROI for the rental mode on Uber/ Bolt is very poor.

With 500k, there are businesses that will return 75-85k monthly. That's an average of 15% monthly. Just with 500k.

Uber rent mode can't give you 15% monthly. You can take this analysis to the bank. That's the main reason Moove switched to Innoson, ROI

donfortune48:


Shaa There're many levels to this.
Bolt is capable of everything.

Even you self knows that, that you trip last night is higher than the estimate to magodo and I believe it's because you swiped arrive at the pickup which is not where the rider is before you started driving to her actual location. The app might have counted that for you.

My own is, stop defending bolt as if any off these is not possible with their app.
And stop making people look like they don't know what they're saying when they share their experiences regarding the subject matter; just because you've never experienced it yourself.

"There are businesses", yet you guys will never mention one.

Pearl1910:



While I acknowledge anything can happen, mistakes can be made and app can misbehave, let's be guided by certain standing rules so we can override some things. And not accept the possibility of everything and anything we see within the system.
Sometimes Bolt does not include surge in receipts like Uber does, so this paid waiting in some cases might just be d way Bolt expresses d surge amount on that trip (Just thinking off d cuff)

Am not defending Bolt o, shey na my papa company?
As I am speaking from facts and experience, I am also always open to knew developments, but the problem with people is having enough to back their claims inother to convince and not confuse.

One love

Some people get mind sha... I just saw one 2012 /13 Camry pick up a rider now.
Money wey I go use buy two cars.

Lolz...abeg o
Where man dey work, na there him dey schop...na why dey call am "Workshop"

Prices are okay overall, whether he will get d genuine parts and do d job well, should be d main concern. The difference will not be a problem when u r happy with the results.

My question is why putting connecting rode price when he has costed for crancksahft couple back. And Oil filter is too pricey for a 7,500 oil.

Pearl1910:


At the bolded, I will not respond to u d way u deserve.

I remember saying if u start and end trip at destination, it will work cos the App senses u forgot to start ur trip. That's what someone posted here last week which u r referring to. I didn't respond to that because I think I had clearly made my point repeatedly on that. If u guys fail to comprehend simple English, that's not my problem.


If it's fraud and cheating that motivates u, that's ur business. I will not even try this fraud just because I want to prove anything to anybody like Tojahh did. I will arrive, start trip and end trip at the appropriate times and get my rightfully earned money. And u always take things like this up, I tot u disliked unjust earnings and cheating the system bla bla bla but I never knew u were always about getting more information so u go into it too. Good luck to u man.

The other day at Ikeja, we started this Uber Vs Bolt topic and you know who won.

Next thing one girl says, “I usually give them 1 or 2 stars. It was only one that annoyed me so much, I used the annoyance to give him 5star”

There was a little silence. Then she was asked to explain. Turns out this lady thinks 1 is the highest and 5 is the lowest. Lmao.

Another lady said Bolt drivers rarely help with her luggage. She said the other day she was struggling with big boxes while he sat in his car changing music. Her mother had to ask him if he couldn't see her. He came down, closed his boot, got back into the car and zoomed off.

I say nawa o. Felicity dey on im own this babe go order im ride . Because e sure me say Baz and Ifebarbie no fit wicked like that. Babitraute na model driver, he would have helped. Last last they go give am 1 star thinking it is the highest.

pocohantas:


What is MO here? Modus Operandi?

tojahh:


Are you in anyway insinuating I committed fraud?

Gentlelife50:

Na normal thing nau, most of these our ladies are just dumb.
Giving 1star when she meant to rate the person high and bolt won't bother to give them orientation.
Slaying on empty heads, but always claiming champion.
They will order ride and be asking your name or where are you, when everything is on the app.
Some will input wrong address as pick up points and be shouting follow the map, like some don't even know that the GPS will automatically pick thier location they will put Chevy view estate for instance and expect you to get to where they are.
Make I stop here for now
