Ooooh, I seeeeee.
Thanks, boss.


Much respect, sir.

Glithronix:
To be sincere, the point I wanted to establish is simple.
The 6k trip carries 275/km, you chose it over the 3.5k of 714/km because it's a better trip and obviously more profitable.
In essence, having a 270/km trips on your dashboard doesn't mean you're doing wrong trips - you could be making more profit than the 700/km trips.
This has been my only stand on this naira/km talks.
Naira/km is irrelevant on indrive. What brings better profit is the time and the money.
Those big money/km trips are on short-short trips and me I be long trips taker.
Short trips are time wasters and you do more work and move around too much.
I do trips that by the time I do 4-5 trips, I don dey gross like 40k and above, while short trips takers still pursuing 15k-20k because say no 700/km. Smiles.
I'm not antagonizing anyone ooh.
But when I see condemnation on small money/km, na where I come in be that.
Abi no be this same trips I dey see on indrive?
Make everybody dey hustle dey go oooh.

Much respect, boss.

Nope, The 6k trip has included the long distance to pickup. If u are close to pickup that will be about N600/km and that's a very good price for the trip.
But if u have to go from Oregun/Allen to magodo to pick up d person and come back to Sheraton/GRA thats a very bad decision. that's why u are seeing N250/km. You will also factor the time it will take u to go to pickup and add the time to complete the trip before u analyze ur 6k if it's worth it.

As per your point that u only consider time and not distance. On a free road u can do Yaba to Sangotedo in 1hr. So tell me will u do this trip for 10k and call it a good decision?
That brings me back to d point I am trying to make, u must consider distance and time when accepting a trip, not only time. Cos some locations have free roads and u will speed up. In d process u will burn more fuel so u would make 7k or 10k but u have used 5k fuel. What is now ur gain?

Glithronix:
And still better and more profitable than the first one that carries 714/km.
All the same sha, God no go shame us.
BTW, something has been causing traffic on Ojodu Berger expressway since yesterday, I noticed, you know wetin dey cause am?

Guys, on an average, how much do you spend on car maintenance every month? This my Honda evil spirit don chop money well in the last 3 weeks...hub replacement, ball joint replacement, and one other stuff replacement (I can't remember the name). All leg related. Lagos roads are getting worse and worse everyday.

When I uploaded the screenshots, the question I asked was if both orders were like 7mins to the PU, which one would be a better trip. The trip can never be up to 600/km.
However, if I was close to that trip, I won't think twice before picking it, cos it was a perfect trip for the time and destination area, I don't check naira/km.
But the one with higher Naira/km was ignored by everyone - why?
I thought the higher the naira/km, the juicer it is.
That's by the way.

Pearl1910:

10k for one hour trip is poor, no matter the distance or area. 10k wey I dey get on 40-45 mins trips?
1hr trip should be ringing a minimum of 12.5k on a normal day. If I see 1hr 5mins trip to where I would like to go and is below 13k, that's when I start bidding. Sometimes, I get picked, sometimes, I did not.

That's not how I operate, boss.
I know everywhere in this Lagos (all thanks to the hustle 😊). I don't pick trips anyhow, I'm very selective. I know where a trip is going at a glance. So, as time is what I factor, I check distance and area. I sabi this hustle small, baba.

One of the trips I did today.
Rider accepted. I drove to PU 9mins (based on traffic).
Was it a good or bad trip, based on the naira/km and, or, time to destination?
Nobody is an island of knowledge, I can learn and take corrections.


Much respect, boss.

@pearl191, see another one I did earlier.
I was just less than 2mins away to PU and naira/km was 284/km.
Time to destination 47mins.
I want know if it was a cr@p trip I did based on the naira/km and time to destination.
There's room for improvement.


Much respect, sir.

Or I should be picking trips like these with higher naira/km since they are the real deal...
Or make una show the type of trips una dey pick with higher naira/km.
Cos e be like say na only me dey show workings/evidences/proofs in pictorial form.

this is bad 35km for 10k is not good though the road was free

indrive hardcore drivers, how do you people survive using that stupid app, person just do something wey pain me to my bone marrow this evening.

I was looking for a trip to just take me to mainland so I can go home from there,I was already blowing from chevron heading home then I saw this trip from oriental hotels, it has 2 destinations, one to ojota and the other to magodo phase 2. trip was 8400 and I just want to use it to cover for fuel, I got to PU in 2mins coz I have passed lekki toll gate when I got the request, I got to PU and I called this foolish rider, he said he was coming down, I waited for this foolish rider for 15mins first then he called to ask me where I parked, I told him I was at the car park and this guy said I should come to vendor area, me thinking the foolish guy has come outside and was trying to locate me, I left the car park and drove towards exit gate and called this guy again and he said he's coming, at that point, I was already blocking cars coming in and going out, the securities were already disturbing me, I called this guy again, he said he has seen me, oya come outside na, this guy took another 10mins + the 15mins I was waiting for him at the car park, this guy came out and I was already angry and I told him why did he call me to tell me to come and park at the exit when he's not outside, I was really angry cox this guy wasted my time for 25mins, can you imagine what this foolish guy said, he said why am I angry at him that he was sorting something out. i just dey vex na so this foolish guy talk hin no dey go again, as in after 25mins waiting for this guy. Indrive don kommot their commission and na so I vex kommot for there.

nah God go punish that guy for me.

Foreigner12:
Please what difference does this make?

You won't be charged commission incase your rider doesn't show up.

@Omoapena

Chai! Omohhh see this kind experience for oriental.
I can imagine the whole scenario. 🤦‍♂
And this indrive wey don dey do auto-arrive and auto-start of trips mehhhh.
Time wasted. Money gone.
Some people can be so ann@ying.
If na woman, I know say na their usual way be that. This one come be man for that matter.
Wetin some people don do me for that hotel, especially Civic Center, I don add those places to my ❌ locations for Pick up.
These people are so ins@nsitive.
So sorry about that experience.
Inside life.

U just stated u can't do a 1hr trip for 10k
But u did a trip of almost 2hrs for 15k.
For me this is a fair trip, given the current realities.
But if it was a working day, it will be a no no.
Normally a 10km trip should be minimum 5k. This trip was a 40km trip and should be minimum 20k.

If the trips were abundant, I would rather do the N3k trip within Lekki phase 1, 2trips within 30mins, 6 trips in 1h 30mins, rather than climb thirdmainland bridge and burn fuel for 15k from Igboefon to Jara mall.

Trust me, U can never be wrong with Naira/km analysis. There is no gainsaying that N600/km trumps N350/km

Lol...sorry, this usually happens to me on Uber app, it has never happened to me on Indrive. Majority of my indrive riders are always ontime and respect time. Na Uber riders dey always feel like say you be their driver. Do you know yesterday, I got one ride from Mangoro to Isaac John in Ikeja. I was at akowonjo. I called this girl to ask if she wants me to come, cos the pickup time was 20 minutes. She said I should come. I blow reach her estate for mangoro. As I was about to let her know I was 2 minutes away, she cancelled the ride. Chai. I wan cry. This cancellation thing always happens to me on Uber, never on InDrive.

You shouldn't go more than 2km or 10 mins to pick a rider .
Max 3km. If you are going to exceed that. It must be a very juicy trip , like a trip that can give you @ least 40% of your daily target earnings.

Uber will wear you and your car out with out of range trips. Be careful with that app.

Can't do more than 4km even with Uber and trip has to be one that's totally worth it✅

Trust me, U can never be wrong with Naira/km analysis. There is no gainsaying that N600/km trumps N350/km

First, that 15k trip wasn't anywhere close to 2hrs. It was 1hr 22mims. In fact, when I took a particular link from the PU, it dropped down to 1hr 09 mins >
(I was surprised). That's by the way.

How I wish say na my level dey follow me drag this stuff, e for sweet me die, cos you be my boss in this hustle and I learned from you.

However, shey you can see why we can never be on the same page?
I don't do these short trips una dey do.
Na only short trips go dey give you N500/N600/N700/N800/N900 per KM, and to me, they are all time wasters (on indrive).
While you're doing short-short trips to meet up that 15k that I did in 1hr 20mins (let's say), you go don move a lot. Can you actually complete 5 short trips in 1hr 30mins, with this kind of riders that would delay you for 10mins or more?
Let's assume you covered it in that time frame, to me, you are stressing yourself by moving to plenty PU and destinations. I will never ever do that kind business on the app.

Lastly, if 10km should give me N5k (500/km), so this trip below should be a perfect trip for everybody, right?
The destination is just less than 5km.

As for me most of this ride prices are ridiculous, but wetin man go do naa, personally I prefer long distance trips more, u know say most drivers na family men, people still on higher purchase.. They have to meet their daily target naa, for you to take home like 45k-60k daily, let say u take this type of long distance trip ... 15k*6 trips =90k gross.. take home after fuel like 30k-40k, then maybe you fit collect small short trips to met your daily target maybe make extra 15k-20k..For me to break even for this hustle with this their ridiculous prices you have to know when to take long and short distance trips.. The truth is that this hustle no dey that lucrative again, to take home like 40k-80k now u have to put in more hours like 8-12hours..
