I was just reading the insults and curse they were placing on each other. One even went as far as saying their tyre go burst on 3MB. Trip scarce for phase 1 yesterday, I saw shege. The fastest finger no be here.

Welz:

na one guy in particular i notice, his name is Victor, the guy para gaannn

Barbiturate:


I was there bro. I carry vex pick 6400 from chevron to Igbobi on indrive. I drove about 17 mins to PU. I was like; instead make I dey here for long make these smallies dey take agba eye see shege, I'd rather pick nonsense and gerout. Meanwhile we reach like 6 or so, wey bid for am.

2ndly, I guess you use corolla. You should know how much you make with your full tank, if you work well(hard)
It is that, which you make, that is feasible!

For me, I use Camry and 12k(half tank) will fetch me 35k. Nobody fit call dog monkey for me! I don't believe everything here.

Barbiturate:


Pope no dey use muscle na! He makes 40k and he's very hard working!

We need to have about 10 drivers here using corolla on bolt, to confirm to us that they make 60k with 12k fuel
No be new monikers o!

Itsrm:


Every trip you do now is a 1.5 surge trip

And why do I think bolt may just have tampered with their criteria for surge

Duplik8t77:
I swear bro. Someone rightly said 5k fuel now used to be 2k fuel before, still rightly said he used to gross 10k to 14k with 2k fuel then . How then did he say he grosses 20k to 24k with 5k fuel now? I don dey think the maths since...lol.

Pearl1910:


Price has changed na...why una no dey do practicals but u go dey use theory they wonder. If u have a car try it, then come and tell us what ur own result is.
That person said his own experience, u too come and tell us urs.

MrCarter577:


I use corolla; 10k fuel gross 40k on all 4 apps.

abefeabebi:
Studying traffic is just d best,I stay at magodo isheri,after stepping out and seeing the traffic I just made up mind that I won't come back on time. With 13k fuel,I was able to make 47k on indriver 2k tip,and 7k on bolt. Just dey climb 3mb go come many times,6k,7k and 5k lowest depends sha. I no pass lekki phase1,Island mainland. My last trip was to Haruna, I was able to cut the hold up by taking computer village to oba akran down to akilo and connect ijaye,Thomas salako, so going back home was free to GTB bank omole..... So indriver is not that bad,once u study the traffic. Don't think I will even use bolt again except for surge.

Duplik8t77:
that means before the hike in fuel price, you usually gross 40k with 4k fuel?

Duplik8t77:
bro there is no significant change in price to measure up to the hike in petrol price. Let's be realistic. Not like the fares were doubled

MrCarter577:


Surge comes with increase in demand. Demand is low generally on bolt, that's why you see pockets of surge in LASU axis, UniLag and Berger. Demand peaked in those areas

Duplik8t77:

Pearl1910:


The fare doesn't need to double...I tot we have analysed this already. If u can make 10-15k more than u used to do before then u are fine.
The question we should asks is, can we easily make that difference now with the new price increase? It's difficult with Bolt because of their Commission and when there is no Bonus. But overall if u add 1k or 1,500 ontop on each trip, before d day ends u have gotten that fuel difference.

XGhost:
I honestly don't understand how this thing appears so complicated. Before 30k daily was not guaranteed, now 40 to 50k is almost a certainty. 100k net I would make in 6 or 7 days before, I'm making in 4 days now. Yeah, fuel price has gone up but earnings have gone up to so I can afford now to buy 15k daily and still bank 25k.
If you looking for even a 50% increase fares you're being very very unrealistic and even dreaming sef. It'll mess up the ecosystem and the app companies know this.

Itsrm:


Everyone knows this. What I'm saying is, the demand that will result in a 1.7 surge before now may have been tweaked by bolt to only result in a 1.3 surge.

Duplik8t77:
I have no idea what you are talking about bro. It doesn't just add up for me. Are you going to make that 10k or 15k more without fuel? Make me understand abeg bro. Or break it down further. Sorry

Duplik8t77:
before 30k was guaranteed for me daily bro. Even 40k and I spend less on fuel. Now I can gross that same 30k or 40k in a day and spend almost 35% of that on fuel. My point is no matter how we paint it, the fuel thing has largely reduced our net earning. Who cares about grossing 50k when you are just left with about 20k after expenses knowing that it used to be 35k or more. That exactly is my point

Itsrm:


50% increase in fare is exactly what Bolt did.

As for the bolded, the difference is that unlike before when you maybe bank 22k and only have to take 4k for fuel the next day and you're left with 18k, you now have to take 10k from the 25k you banked leaving you with 15k

There's a net reduction in the drivers income but it's certainly not as bad as is sometimes being exaggerated.

Pearl1910:




I never heard your voice before fuel Increase that u were making so much money o. I thought it was only me that was Grossing 30-40k daily.
So for this reason I will not explain anything to u because when I needed people to speak out u were not there to support me.

XGhost:


Ok... This may open up a whole new conversation because as far as they have been saying here before the fuel price hike, na doomsday, the biz don cast and all that shit. Here you are now saying it used to be 35k net before.
Point is, that your 35k is now almost guaranteed unlike before when you made that on and off. Like i said before, the earnings haven't changed or have gone up marginally.

Pearl1910:


Not correct, fare increase is not upto 50%. A trip that was 3k before is now 4k but trip of 1,200 before is now 2k. It depends on the type of trips u r taking.

Secondly, Any money u take to refuel is made back that day...u don't minus it from previous day's Net.
So if I make 20k profit yesterday and I take 15k out of it to buy fuel for today's work, I will make 50k today and replace my fuel money then minus commission and I am left with 20k profit for today again. So in two days I have 40k in bank or cash.

I think most drivers don't want to adjust to d new reality. I understand when someone says why will he use 15k fuel to make just 50k. People want to make much more with the plenty money they used in buying fuel, but forgetting that if the prices are increased in such a way that they want, they will drink the fuel in d car because they will have no trips.

Oya o, Pope, Barbiturate and co.
Can u come and ask this Bros how he possibly used 13k fuel to make 54k?
Abi na only me dey lie for this thread?

Duplik8t77:
shey na the same bolt and indrive app una dey use abi e get another app wey una dey use ni? The biz was good before the fuel price hike. I never joined in slandering the hustle prior to the subsidy removal thing.
