Recently, I took someone to gwagwalada from river park estate lugbe and I couldn't get a rider to return with. So I started picking passengers from the side of the road. I picked on man and we got talking about e-hailing and stuff. He said he is working with a company that is developing a new e-hailing platform, I told him if they would ever displace bolt, they'll need real time input from people like us who have seen bolt finish.
Please, does bolt accept Corolla bank type in Abuja

What's up about Indrive & Lyft? That new e-hailing app, how often do drivers have orders?

Just seeing this thread.
I started e-hailing few weeks ago in ibadan and all i can say it's very bad here. From rubbish fair price on bolt and indrive to unavailability of rides. It's tiring.
Yesterday i only picked a ride, that's after seeing bunch of ridiculous fiar offer. Today as I'm typing. I've been out since like 11. Till now i neva see any ride pick.

Can any past or present driver point me to location i can get plenty ride offer. Cos I'm tired. I justbdey waste fuel come outside cos i stay far inside town.

I've tried bodija, Ashi, eleyele, Jericho and Mokola... I don't get much rides there grin

I noticed there's no active social group of Bolt drivers in Ibadan, I don't know why Ibadan drivers are like that. Why they prefer to stay solo.

At least newbie/drivers wey relocated can learn the trick, tips, hot spot, better route, sign and warnings of E-hailing in Ibadan. So sad!

Lol
It's terrible here in ibadan, I've learned my lesson.
I no longer bother try working on weekdays. Even weekends i barely do upto 10 rides from Friday thru Sunday.

The few rides that pups up on indrive are always bery ridiculous prices.

I don't blame them. Na business wey dey go well people dey make community off.
I've met few drivers, some has been in the business for over 2 years, sadly there no hot spot out here. I can say the likes of new garage, akala express, lead city can be very busy during weekends. But for someone like me that stay far away from there. It's a no go area for me cos once i pick a ride going to that asix, i never get a passenger back to my base.

Nawa o! This is not a good experience at all

Not to discourage you.
Other people make a living and feed their family from this same job in the same ibadan.

It might just take time.
