After how many months? Heard they will soon update drivers on the ending date of the old app.

Quote this comment.....this will actually bring problem to bolt!

If rider cancel, your score will reduce! How can you reconcile this? Got a request from sabo to VI. I rushed quickly to get there cos it was just 3 mins to PU and the rider cancelled before I got there. Then my score will reduce because of that. Is that not crazy!?

Meanwhile around 4:30pm, I was at Lekki phase 1 and a trip going to Aja came. It showed 25 mins to get to rider. She was at the other side, as if you're going to Aja. I called and explained to her. She refused to cancel. I obviously can't drive 25 mins there, just to wait for 5 mins and cancel.

Just watch how a lot of drivers will be booted out and it will in turn affect bolt.

Dem no reason this one well at all. My plan B dey on the way though, just in case.

I sent a whatsapp concerning this...I need a car on hire purchased for e-hailing

Ur not being very fair to the drivers.
They are the operators but they get treated like trash.
They take all the risks.
Even on your worst, most dangerous and high stress trips that damage your car they make profit.
What's is bolts driver welfare policy?
They don't have any.
So on any journey you accept ur on your own.
With the added stress of threading on eggshells around entitled, and outright rude and nasty riders who use your upholstery to wipe their hands after eating.
You can't correct them so they don't rate you low.
Multiple times a day we drive on roads that so bad even animals avoid them, just to fulfil a ride.
I once took a rider tthrough a bad road around igbo efon.
The road was heavily flooded and the rocks on the road where so sharp they could tear your tyres.
I was wondering how someone could put another person's car through this,when I heard rider telling the person he was going to visit on the phone that because the road is bad he took a bolt so as not to destroy his car.
Yet bolt expects your car to be in tip top shape after every 4 months.
We all know that we are disposable to them as the country has high employment and poverty and these are what the e hailing rates.
E hailing companies especially bolt capitalize on this.
Let's face it driving under conditions giving by Bolt is stress and I am sure more than eighty percent of the divers on the platform will leave if a less stressful way of making 200k a month presents itself.
Most if us are in it till our exit plan materializes, let's not act as if the working conditions are comparable to google.
So allow those who want to complain to do so, it's the easiest way they can release stress by mouthing off and getting encouraged by others who go through the same thing but have found a way to live with it.

E no hard now, if people no cooperative na to use rider app request and cancel till they block us all. That guy wey feli dey talk say he dey request and cancel maybe na driver wey bolt don block him ass.

If you see request to seme border na me, i wan see driver wey go show up to go there.

Viking07:

Felicity001:
Sorry I don't understand what you're trying to say here. Cant relate at all.

By the way i don't drive a converted car I drive a BENZ not just an ordinary Benz but a clean one with swag.

You guys should not drag me in your gbos gbas abeg... Make una leave me to nurse my wound of after my 2nd OC... How person go spend over 35k for just OC naaa!

I fell like crying right now.

Barbiturate:
From the side view, it looks like follow come.
From the back view, it looks like nylon

But if there's a plug for the permit, I wouldn't mind, as long as it won't be expensive.

Barbiturate:
No vex Feli, but I don't see anything wrong here, except he didn't add please to it.

If the back is tight for him, it is normal for him to politely ask you to shift the chair forward.
If the radio or music will distract his online/phone meeting, it is normal to tell you to turn it off politely.

Put yourself in his shoes and tell me you won't do same.

And scratching your car wasn't intentional. Apologies for it though.(on his behalf )

YeyeGbami:
If you get ILLEGAL tinted permit, just go remove am to avoid stress. As i drive pass 7/8 B/s , climb bridge dey go oshodi naso (ibeji oran) twin police on bikes flagged dia papa down. Ask for what is in the trunk, i off engine lock car go open trunk.

Next thing na tinted permit, he carry phone commot scan the barcode, see say na legit. Say thank you sir and they rode off. If 2 say na fake, coins go drop.

fk001:

YeyeGbami:
My plug na inside tinted office Ikeja police command him dey, but he won’t dare to try anything stupid until they start issuing permits back.

Be careful if you see anyone who says he can run it for you, the tinted permit portal is closed. They won’t really bother you because na only back seat and it looks like factory.

YeyeGbami:
This your muscle fresh o, person go sit down inside this kain luxury vehicle still dey run mouth.

sandammy:
Boss, abeg like how long should I be looking at for next OC with this oil?

Felicity001:
Transmission should be once a year

Engine depends on how you use the car and places you travel to.

For personal use, home to work and back than to church and social gatherings you can look at 12-15k miles

For interatate transportation... 6-7k miles should be fine

For ehailing within a particular state 7-10k miles but some of my senior colleagues say 7-8k miles is okay.

But always check for oil drop every 3days. Check daily if for Inter state travel because this oil burns faster than its 10W40 counterpart.

And what's the engine flush for??

Barbiturate:
Paint wetin?! Na so e come o. I don't drag road with Keke Marwa, korope, danfo, bike men. I don't even drag with coro boys. I dey go Jeje.

Please what else could cause a car to jerk and sometimes refuse to fire. This started after the bad fuel issue. I have changed my plugs. Serviced my injector. Changed my fuel pump. Yet it’s still jerking.

Sagay212:
Some people just need to understand that certain jobs or businesses isn't for everybody . You have all sorts of crazy people wanting to drive with uber or bolt, touts, greedy goats and people with all sorts of lousy attitude. You see some begging online that they need a car for uber/bolt and when they get the car, they start complaining about not making enough money to deliver.
They don't make enough money because they are greedy touts who would turn down trips because they think the money will be too small. Some of them are so annoyingly rude to riders, asking all sorts of stu.pid questions when you order a ride and still call them because they'll refuse to call. You order a ride and call the driver's number and the phone is switched off. You can see that driver has arrived on the app, but you can't reach him and he won't call. Some will accumulate so much poor rating due to nasty attitude and then get blocked by bolt/uber. Then they come online to complain and lie about how they were unjustly blocked. They won't be able to deliver to the car owner because they are always turning down orders due to greed and overcalculation.
These are the types that create threads everywhere complaining about bolt/uber while other people doing same business are cashing out because they are well behaved, patient and know how to relate professionally. Some are so good that have met customers who hire them on offline trips and pay well.
When you hear about certain jobs or businesses, don't just jump into it. You need to use your head and look out for the qualities to posses to do such jobs or business. People generally need to learn how to be well behaved and this nonsense is very common with bolt drivers especially. Very nasty behaviour.

Felicity001:
