I understand your point, but the truth is that these fares are ridiculously cheap.

My friend's mum came from the SS to Lagos, and i was to take her to her hotel on Airport road. The GIG bus was to drop her at Anthony. I was waiting for her and i negotiated with those old cabs. They said 4k last. I checked Bolt; 1,700.

My aunt came back from Abuja and landed at MM2 around 9pm. Bolt was showing 3k plus to Festac. I was having difficulties ordering so i told her to use those Airport cabs. She paid 9k that night.

Compared to the service, the price is too too low.

Itsrm:


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

I have never seen any Uber driver that is willing to wait for 1 hour for you online.

If paid waiting was worth it, people for dey readily accept such offers

izzou:


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. The only thing is the risk....But God dey

I’m not a driver but 3k to Festac is ridiculously cheap.

izzou:


This was the one i did from Ibis hotel to Festac in February

Very very ridiculous

Pearl1910:


Na this una theory talk they vex me pass. So to and fro distance will be just 3k?
Try it and see, put ur card on ur app and request yourself, by the time u end the trip u will see what Bolt will debit u, then ur eye go clear.

Josephase:
I love how pope reasons, in everything you do jin life always use brain. No be some people that are always toxic to this thread

humblesteve:

Too poor. This thing about those caps at the airport is true. From Mm2 to Egbeda they charge me 7k but I bet you bolt won’t even charge me 4K

With the way you guys move Lagos, you change brake pads in 6 months?

Wonderful

pope191:


Once I've met my target or it is certain. You can take all the time in the world. Mostly by 3/4 I am done for the day, the rest is playing.

Welz:

are you for real? even on indrive you don't mind rider taking all the time in the world as long as you've met your target?

izzou:


I see them in markets naa

The money those guys make on a good day is the net earnings of a Bolt driver in two days

Imagine netting 15k with enough time to sleep under a tree.

MrCarter577:


Some of us drive our own cars only on weekends. We don't change pads like the full-time guys.

pope191:


And when the cab at the Airport dropped you at Egbeda, he picked another trip 7k back to the airport abi? There's logic and matrix to survive every business, how you guys try to know the secret of what you are not into baffles me.

Agbado has terrible road thanks to the docility of ogun state successive governments. It is worse during raining season bc of the muddy roads. 08067937074 I am still available to drive on bolt with 30k remittance weekly and I reside around Ojodu Berger axis.

OralB:
Thanks so much for the advice.
I'll just stick with my current hustle.

Thanks to you all.

Itsrm:


No, it won't be 3k. It will be 12k. You know 12 plus 6k makes it 18k which is the same amount that the cab man charges

humblesteve:

Prof Pope, what secret are you talking about?
Stating price differences between bolt and the airport cabbies or what is it exactly?

Felicity001:


Just imagine this one so you have to pull down a brother just to sell yourself? That alone as disqualified you already.

Like how could you do that? You condemn where a fellow hunter stays yet the area where you live is not good either

To you easttig and Deypray where do you guys reside? In heaven abi or you live in the USA.

Show me one LGA in Lagos with100% good road without an untarred road, show me one.

Why do we have this pull down syndrome in this part of the world? Why?

So all Uber drivers now live on Chevron drive... Oh! I c!!

Make una kontinue

ReadaDream:
I drive full time, I don't change pads monthly. The front pads that came with my car lasted from June 2021 to January 2023, Rear pads I changed them in August 2021, it's still serving.

P.s I use toks brake pads.

AlNur:


Give your car to somebody that lives in Agbado that is your choice please don’t come for me.

Donphilex:
