pope191: I would really love to see a car owner on Uber giving us a comprehensive analysis on how he broke even. Because to be honest, with the rising cost in prices of everything this hustle needs, i wonder how it is feasible; I am not saying it isn't oh Almost every force is against this hustle...I have never heard of prices of parts and oil decreasing, but the fares are the same for most periods. The fare is even against the hustle 8 Likes |

izzou: Yes I just tot of this. They have a local name for them. Boss we still deh funky and tosh. The moment matter don enter going to market to be loading car. That car is about to kick bucket. Still goes down to needless stress a man in is 50/60/70s should not be facing. They are things I don't want to be talking again. Like I always say ehailing is a trap one getting out should take his/her time to find something more worthwhile and not all this slight comparison. Have you observe the numbers of young able guys doing security lately? Sometimes I wonder how much they pay them and if they are not wasting their youthful age. My ignorance, I always see them from the angle of lazy folks, but life maybe having a toll on them inbetween. 3 Likes |

pope191: I am not saying people should leave the hustle. I am simply saying we should really understand what it takes to break even; If there is somebody that has, he should educate the thread on how he did it. The ridiculous fares makes it longer to break even in comparison with the rising cost of parts. I entered this bus last year August to Abuja. I paid 17,100 I entered it last week to Abuja. I paid 23,500. As long as their fares are dynamic, they can break even as expected 6 Likes

Itsrm: How much do you think a Bolt guy will take for such? I go to Abk for 25/30k anything less then that? Forget it. I have a client I use to take to airport for 6k, not up to 20 mins. With time he start giving me 4k to 3k... mo ya run away before e enter 2k. I realise he start using someone I know that takes low. I felt like telling the guy, but something just ask me to ignore. If they both like their business, happy for them. I use to tell clients transport business does not have a fixed price. It is all about your negotiation prowess. Same ride you will take for 10, someone will do it for 4k. I have my price and won't do what I'll regret and won't advice them to do what they will regret too. That 18k, someone will glady take 10k for it. Never a fixed price boss. |

izzou: On transport issues, I brainstorm a lot. What is the cost of this bus. Is this the only bus going to Abuja? Do you know someone can as well enter 10k to Abuja from Lagos? It is about your convenience, you took a preferred bus and this is the point I say it is more than transportation, but service rendered. Maybe when we learn the difference, we will start seeing things from different angle. NB : you can't compare highway transportation to ehailling. With the insecurity and risk involved? I wont play God to gamble with fate, because He is the only one that knows tomorrow, but highway? Make they no call person to come carry em car for Ore one day or big bros are asking for their cuts after grabbing men 1 Like |

pope191: It's not a question of much a bolt guy will take for such. Its a question of the amount bolt will charge for such. The comparison is between the amount Taxi cabs charge and what bolt charges. The main point is to show that bolt is still cheap regardless of the increased earnings. 1 Like |

izzou: Boss I'll say don't put beyond 1.6m as start up capital. If you can do 25/30k a day. 4 days that's 100k/120k weekly, 400/480k a week. Gas 20k/23k Commission 10k/12k Take home 70k/85k weekly My car doesn't really cost much to maintain and I use groundnut oil not more then 10k to service at every 3k. Truth is ever since I have been driving, I have not been thro any regrettably stress or borrowed money to fix car. I am always grateful self when car breaks down and I need like 3 days to fix. Time to rest and brainstorm... always a positive vibes to take out in every situation 5 Likes |

pope191: You are not getting my point, bros I am not saying it wasn't my choice or that you can't get to Abuja cheaper I am saying that if they planned on recouping their investment on that bus in 2 years, they would do all they can to meet that deadline That means if the prices of its parts changes, the fare must change If the price of fuel changes, the fare must change If the prices of tyre and Engine oil changes, they will look into the fare It is not the same for Uber. Even if dollar goes to 1600, the fare remains the same. That will definitely elongate the stipulated time to break even. That's my point NB: That bus is about 35 million now 9 Likes |

If Bolt open free price between driver and rida, you will see drivers are happy with the price. If you think I don't know what I am saying, go on rida and see something. Drivers will even lower the price from rider's bidding price 1 Like |

Masterkleenlaun: An average Dispatch Rider makes much more than that. OralB uses mainly Uber that's why. Normal dispatch rider can carry things for more than 5 people on one trip from mainland to island and vise versa. Before he has completed one trip he has made 10k in total. 2k here 2,500 there. 1,500 here 2k there. I never look down on anyone, even aboki that pack waste have money. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Pearl1910:This may look unbelievable but it's very true. The longer you are on the business, the more number of offline clientele you build and it stops Uber from assigning us one delivery at a time. The day I made about 28k take-home, I honestly didn't use more than #1,500 fuel and I closed very early too because I ran so many offline jobs simultaneously.

OralB: Please try and create a fleet. If you make 60k a week, give it on rentals for 50k. Broker deals with organisations, especially in market places. You can cut a deal with the sales person that he would get some percentage if he let you pick orders for his customers. This is much better than Uber, bros.

northbird: Seems many drivers here now own their cars. Just 2-3 years back, if a partner says 25k weekly (with partner responsible for servicing, insurance & papers) was too small, many drivers would come for his head. The ROI has been unreasonable for many years now, especially since most partners bought their cars as tokunbo 1 Like |

Itsrm: If you book a bolt driver on App from morning till 3pm. You will pay more than 18k. Surge or no surge sir. When the paid waiting is activated (Since it's home to Luth and wait. Then the rider would put a stop which starts counting once they get to Luth) so by 3pm he would be handling with transfers of excess of 18k No Cap |
Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Itsrm(m): 4:20pm On May 23, 2023 |
tojahh: By my calculations, no way. This is what I have on my bolt App. If he picks him at 7am and they return by 3pm, total time is 8 hours or 480 minutes. At 13 naira per minute charge, the amount is N6,240. By the time you add for the actual distance covered, he will be lucky to earn 10k on bolt. Except the charges per minute in Lagos is double that of PH 4 Likes 1 Share
