Let me see if I can help you.

First answer these questions:

What type of phone do you use?
What the inbuilt capacity and space?

What type of car do you driver
What's the engine size?

Where do you live
What time do you usually leave the house?
Do you leave your house with a request or without a request?

What time do you close work,
Stop going home empty, make use of the set destination feature in your app
Explain to me how you make use of it.

How is you daily routine like?
Do you just accept and go on every trip requests you accept?

Do you always do trips with lot of stops over or change of destination?
Do you usually wait for riders above 7min to come out b4 starting a ride?

Are your long trips always to traffic zones? E.g lekki to ikorodu or lekki to Egbeda around 4pm... Such trips can retire you to you bed because they can last approximately 4-5hrs espe that of lekki to Egbeda.

Lastly, which app do you drive with? Uber, Bolt or indriver?
You can't work 12hrs daily and have a weekly gross of 100k... No na? Talk of net yes I can say its fine but gross? Nna men... You're not trying at all...
Will answer ur questions as best I can.
I use a vivo y12 with octocore processor.
I drive a Toyota Camry 2003. 2.4l engine.
I stay just before Abijo but I leave my house between 6and8am.
And I put on my bolt driver's app while driving out of my house till I get to skymall where I wait for my first request.
I sometimes get a request b4 then.
I try to accept and deliver on every request before 5pm. After which I start driving towards the island and set my destination towards my house.
It doesn't work all the time.
Sometimes I get to ikoyi or vi without a ride towards my house and I release the lock and free it accepting only one or two short rides.
Evening traffic usually is bad on the island.
But every once in a while I get one or two good request going towards my house.
For long trips I can accept pick ups of up to 10minutes.
And wait for about 5 minutes.
There are times the riders changed their minds while on a long trip but it's not often.
The major fault is that the average time inbetween conclusion of a ride and getting a new request is too long.
Especially in areas with surge.
It reduces at night.
Hope u can help with the info supplied.

What is clicked on is 'arriving now' not arrived.

Because you wasted time. Once you get a notice, prepare to come out.

All the Asians I have picked up, they were waiting and looking out for me and not the other way round.

Consistent at defending bolt whether he is right or wrong.
Consistent at asking people to resign to drive Uber if you earn less than 150k

Felicity001 consistent in Hoodlum driving ( 300trips in a month, grossing 240k yet going offline outside Lagos)
Consistent in getting blocked by Uber or bolt or inDriver.
Consistent in getting slapped/fight and visiting police station.
The list is endless

The problem is recently I wait a long time in between rides b4 I get another request.

Maybe that's the problem.

Your phone and or network must be d culprit because u r in a good area...starting and closing u will always get a trip.
Your phone should not be less than a 2GB 32 phone. And if it's filled up, delete pictures, videos and Apps to have minimum 2GB of free space out of the 32GB

Then positioning is key, observe ur environment if it's a place u can easily get trips. Target densely populated residential areas, commercial areas, corporate areas and mixed zones. Know d times and seasons and where to position. Residential areas in d morning, commercial and corporate from mid-day.

Toggle d car icon on your App (If on Bolt) intermittently to make sure u r online and not idle.

Select trips...some trips are time wasters, avoid heavy traffic zones except it's a long distance trip on surge. Some short trips are worth it some are not. U should be able to determine the ones that aren't worth it. One good long trip is better than 3 average trips.

If I were u, in d morning I will be looking for a trip to d mainland or at least VI from Sangotedo. Surge or no surge, that will set you up for high earnings and ginger u to make more throughout the day.

All d best

There is this particular compound in Justice Rose Ukeje, off Pinnacle filling station. The girls will say u should drive into d compound. The first day I did I was thinking it's a big compound, do u know that compound cannot even contain my car except I drive very close to d building before d gate can close. I was so mad... subsequently, I have gotten trips from there like 3times again and each time they will say drive in, I will say okay. But when they come out I will tell them to walk out that I can't drive in. At that time they will have no choice but to walk out to the car. Then hala why didn't u drive in?, and I will answer them well face to face.

Abeg, what's the best place to position to get trips going towards Gbagada or Ajao Estate from the Island around 4-5PM? . I've tried position at Awolowo Ikoyi, but I mostly get trips to Surulere. Yesterday, I suffer for inside traffic. I no sure say I won near Surulere for now.

Any idea biko?

very possible with a good and funtioning car, good knowledge in the job, good time management and a little bit of luck.

But not consistence... His following week can be far less even maybe half or even below a 100k gross.

Not consistence at all because the major tool is a mechanical component and not air

The inly thing thatbis constant is the air we breath

@Bolded...wrong move, considering where he stays.

Key to getting go trip out of Sangotedo axis is starting early. Set out by 5 and drive towards skymall or Ogidan shopping complex.

At least 3x in a week my first trip is always to the airport.

Request around Sangotedo in the early hours can be tricky and full of time wasting trips. You have to be smart to make the best out of it.

I avoid trips going to any of those bus parks at Abraham adesanya like a plague (na why I no they chase bolt bonus) I don't even do any Ajah trip. It's either VI or Mainland. And I must leave with a surge trip.

Simple! Once I'm 100 to 150m away I arrived... Most time some of them na that time they will remember to call and instead of them to ask "are you here? They'll be asking why did you click arrive when you've not gotten to where I am? Where as they re still inside their bedroom ooh

Some will even starting making a fight out of it like their life depends on it. I just tell them "oga Abeg cancel" idiot!

No time.

On uber once the driver is 100m within the pick up point wait time start counting down and a notification is sent to the rider the driver is somewhere around.

But bolt riders don't even want you to arrive self, some don't even want you to start the ride.

I'm waiting for thw day those ignorant women will ask me "pls don't start yet till we leave this traffic or enter the high way b4 u start it oh" your wait time will show you something that day.

The truth is u can get trips to anywhere from anywhere. Ikoyi is faily okay but on working days, from d Island to Gbagada is more likely during closing hours around Victoria Island. Let me leak one of my favorite spots, hope I will not begin to see u guys crowd d place grin if I find myself in VI from 4.30 and I want to go to d mainland, one of the places I like to position is inside Sanusi Fafunwa, park before the second turn on ur left so u can easily access the area because of the one-ways. This street is central and u can access 3 of the 4 main zones of Victoria Island. I can get trip from Left (Oko Awo/Karimu Kotun) and Right (Ayemo Alakija/Idowu Tailor/Church Gate) of this street as it is packed with companies and offices. U can get a trip from Adeola Odeku/Akin Adesola/Kofo Abayomi/Idowu Martins Axis, u can easily go back to Eko hotel/Adetokunbo Ademola Axis to pick a Rider. The idea is to position where there is high density demand inother to increase the probability of getting a trip to ur prefered zone.
Hope this helps.
