Why will I? This is how far I've driven in January. If my vehicle uses 1 gallon every 15 miles, I have only used 14 litres of fuel which is less than N9,000

How long do you think I will drive to make up the cost of installing CNG?

I was specifically referring to those who cover thousands of miles monthly. It's a no brainer
Which model of car uses 1 gallon for 15 miles?

So strange thing happened to me. Picked this ride from Surulere to Okesuna shomolu. Before picking these girls, they ask the route I am taking as one of them wants to drop at stadium. Told them I’ll use stadium to connect Bajulaye. On getting to destination, they flip and said I took them to wrong place, their destination is Island. Issue flip as they drop and refused to pay. People gather and try to settle, while at it, they book another ride.
Driver came and try to find out what the argument is all about. Next he blame me for not asking them where they are going too and if they report me, they will block me. I just weak and ask them to go, no wahala.

Doubt if I can help any driver in this racket again.

Seems indriver is having issues with there mapping, u will see some full address but taking u to different area entirely. Everybody should know this one, rccg on Lagos ibadan express ways always show CMD rd, while the Rider will say na camp. And the price is for CMD.

Accept the fact that u should always confirm where a rider is going to rather than assume the destination on the map is correct. As someone who majors on Indrive App, u should know thats compulsory.

Last week I picked a trip from Opebi To Ibadan street, Ketu. I checked map and saw Ibadan street off Agboyi road in Ketu so I assumed thats where she is going. My error! I drove to pick up, saw her standing by the road side, then my defences came up. As I start d trip I saw map directing me towards ikorodu, then I asked her pls where are u going to? Madam say Irawo. Ah, sorry I can't go that way, I thought u are going to Ketu Alapere. Na so I end trip jeje. I apologized and thanked my star she didnt put Alapere while she was going to Irawo. Cos normally I always confirm destination before I even drive to pickup, except for addresses that announce themselves like offices, event places or there is Lekki or VI, written after the street name then no need for confirmation.

Sometimes its not their fault cos they can't use the app properly, if "Somolu" was written next to the "okesuna", then u would have won the case, sorry for the loss. Make Una use app wey gat ya back.

Some of these clients are not normal. They Indeliberately pick wrong address and will still argue with you. They even use wrong pick up address.

Yes, you are right. Few of this I know and it is not really the fault of the map, but how the riders input it. City mail (ikeja) will take you to Yaba. The right way to input it is ICM Ikeja. Army cantonment will take you to AN Barrack. We have Jakanda cres and we have many Jakande, it’s the one you specify you will get. Too me awhile to know Coah at Omole. This ones are just being stupid shifting blame by saying I was the one that changed it for monetary gain. That’s so condescending.

It's not about indrive having the issues, Lagos has names of same street in multiplication and as an experienced driver, I don't expect you to leave a PU point without confirming the destination "AREA " to the passenger first.
@the bold, you're right.
I don't know if you have also seen that Alaba International Market will be pointing to Surulere. This, and the RCCG own, an experienced driver should know it's an error, so, all you have to do is ignore such ride.
But some people will still pick am and reach PU point then start dragging with the rider.
This thing no hard at all.
Some passengers will type address and when 3/4 pop up, they just click and pick one, instead of them to specify the area of the street they're going before posting it.
For that one wey Pope complained about, na him I go drag, cos that baba na legend in the hustle.

As much as I’ll like to agree with you, this job is a psychological one. I have done 3900 plus trips on Indrive and I have not face issues like this up to 10 times, if it is up to 5. So logical I select my trips well. These people ask me route and I told them. What’s the connection of somolu and island from surulere. Riders on Indrive and Rider are the most numb set of folks I have even seen. They take their frustration from Bolt and put it on us. If it’s Bolt that I’ve been driving for 20 mins and she’s in the dark about the trip, won’t she ask where am I going too?

Indrive is a sh*tty app and their cc don’t care about driver. Need you know one of the reason I drop Bolt is because I am tired of asking riders where are you going to and their response goes like “check your map or Oga are you going”. On Indrive you can’t even call rider, you’ll message and some won’t reply. It is when driving to location and arrive before they reach out. You arrive late, indrive will block you. Recharge 2k and they cancelled 1k without picking the trip. The next one you’ll be forced to wait for 20mins because one is already hitting frustration. Is it after you’ve waiting for 15 mins with straight face, you’ll have time to be asking rider where she is going too? You are already at the receiving end. Blow gas, waste time, indrive remove commission, it is best not to just wake to some reality.

In all this, these girls saying I was the one that changed the destination is scary, the kind of brain people have in their head. If I am bend on getting my money, I’ll get it 100 percent. I only off when a driver could say if they report, indrive will block me.

Hmmm, so you call riders before going to PU?

Note : map may pick different location, but the name remain same. I don ask for the once I am not clear about, while some can’t even be disputed. I have been in couple of it and rider will ask where am I going too. If we are yet to leave the axis, I don’t take kobo from them as I’ll ask them to book another rider. Driving for 20 mins, like getting to destination, they will use rider to do ritual las las.

Bros, u can have 3 instances in a day and it will not happen again for the next 3months. Its not in ur power to determine. But what's within ur control is confirm riders destination either before u arrive pickup or before u move from pickup point. Especially for street names that have multiple occurrence.
U will agree with me that many riders no sabi road.

I never jam rider wey no know road, but street smart. Not Yaba, surulere or Ikeja. Like I said I confirm when I sense some glitch. I can’t see new hall unilag from surulere and be putting myself at arms length. This is not the first, if I pick and the direction is not same either we talk it out or rider get another ride. But getting to destination to start saying rubbish means the rider is just few days from kidnappers.

See the one I just confirm now, stupid trip all because I want to quickly get off the road to go watch ball. Drove 10 mins after calling that I have arrived, the werey cut phone and cancel. Indrive sha don comot commission. I deh vex like this. I don swear for em generation.
