It’s the same thing.

I let them ring out, but you see Bolt ehn, they move like demons.

Hmm very wicked app

Gentlelife50:
You never see anything, they will still mark it as driver didn't respond.

Really. I already assumed letting it ring out was better

tobby98:
I don't use Bolt anymore. Stuck to Indrive for now

Bolt just blocked me this morning om top inspection

That's the end for me. Stuck with Indrive now

I'm very sure they will feel it sha

Odunayomi79:
Am patiently waiting for when most guys do their calculations well like I did almost every time. we need not to open that app again, how can I buy fuel maintain car and still risk my life and drive the car around and someone somewhere just eating 25% of all trips just to manage the app and they will be giving you useless order like 3k 2k,

Iz annoying bro. D app companies don't care about anything else but their profits..well drivers sud care for theirs also

This lekki/ajah road is becoming something else o. The terrible roads and traffic for the whole day

Be like na to dey avoid that area for now. It's really bad

U can do that on Uber but it will affect acceptance rate on bolt.

Ok but not driver score? Just acceptance?

😁😁😁😁

VaselineCrew:
Bolt has started their slavery program again.

7 days ban for refusing rides.

Next up is a 365 days ban, like it happened 2 years ago.

Do you know how wicked of a company you have to be to ban a driver for a whole year? Not for any major malfeasance, but for refusing to take a ride?

I know I drive with Bolt, but I’ve always maintained, they are a deeply evil and wicked company, set to enslave the African driver.

lol 😆 bolt is a crazy nasty app, imagine they keep sending you long pick up for a 2500 trip and they expect me not to cancel, bolt Is a joke

I don't think, according to what they sent me your driver scores is affected when people rate you and whenever you canceled without getting to pickup too.

The whole of island is a total shadow of itself.
Island used to be the best part for people doing short trips, but the story has changed.
I don't understand how we go get ministry of roads, FG and state government wey claim to dey transform country for good and things are getting worse under their watch.
Island of all places should never be in this current state.
The government knows what it's doing - dey want make we suffer very well and start begging for their interventions.
The traffic on the whole island is due to the conditions of the roads.
What tha heck!


Much respect, boss.

And they will be posting huge IGR but bad roads everywhere, abi baba dey vex because Lagos people no vote him?

I only work inside lekki/Ajah/Badore/sangotedo.
Sometimes, ikoyi/VI.

I avoid Marina like plague.

hardiodun:
I hear you, but I will not be unfortunate sir, neither will my problems double, rather, I'd have a success story 😁. I'm sure some persons on here would have been running HP/rental successfully, despite the challenges for years. I know nothing good comes easy, however with God on my side and the necessary modalities in place, it will end in praise for me. Still, thank you for your suggestion.

The business has its ups and downs, but the most important thing is to have a reliable car. Rental can be more challenging because you are responsible for some repairs, but you still keep the car at the end. Hire purchase is less stressful since you have no repair responsibilities, but you give up the car once the agreement ends.

Whatever option you choose, make sure you install a dash cam and tracker, and also get comprehensive insurance for the vehicle. With these in place, you will be fine.

That axis has a life of its own.
Last time I went to Addo road 9 out of 10 trips where going to Ogombo/ Sangotedo / Awoyaya axis.
It's possible to just be revolving around that place and not come to Lekki Phase1 talk less of mainland. The only thing is most roads u will enter are bad roads cos all those streets in that axis are still developing.
The water and sharp sand in that side will spoil ur hub and shaft very fast

My Ogas I greet you all specially.

Truly they pay taxes. They sud just charge a uniform price across board not different prices for different folks. It's well

Initially they told us it's Lagos State Govt money. So its an addition to the fare on every trip. Let's say normally d fare is 10k they will now charge the Rider N500 and say Driver should collect N10,500. So the N500 is deducted first before their varying 20% - 35% commission is now deducted on the N10k.
Lately, we don't even know how this amount is determined again because before it was like 3% of the fare plus N25 and it was negligible cos it wasn't significantly high like this.
Before u can end a trip and see that ur money isn't complete because u know how much is base fare, per km and per min fares and u can do ur calculations and proof to them ur money isn't complete. But now they increase and reduce fare without telling us how much is base fare, per km and per min so we can't even argue with them again. Anything they give us we take.
U can do 6 trips from VI to Ikeja and Ikeja to VI and all 6 will be different prices, with difference of upto 3k, (same category, without surge)
Bolt is d father of fraud but they have d mind to be blocking drivers for suspected fraudulent activity because of low acceptance. This high way they are riding on will lead to their disaster, they forgot how they became prominent after Ubers high handedness led to their downfall.

Lobatan, so booking fee is no longer Lagos State Development fees?
Chai Bolt na crook walai

Hmmm really Bolt are fraudulent..they have no right to charge that booking fees. Just negodu. They have told you one thing and told my friend another. It's shows it's an illegal fees. They are wicked. By law all they sud be charging is their commission which sud be pegged at a particular amount so we know what they r actually charging. Its unfair. Very painfully. Y not just charge ur commission y steal drivers own money aside ur commission.

Imagine slaving from morning till night then one app company will collect 25% cause why? Very unfair and must be addressed

XGhost:
He said TBills and piggy vest at 20% p.a o. That's 1.2m return per year on 6m. I wonder what inflation rate stands at as of today

No mind d guy jare, so if I have 6m I want to multiply na investment of 20% yearly I go put am?
When poor mindset they think u go know.
All those 10% , 20% yearly investments are for people who have serious inheritance and real wealth that keeps pouring in monthly.
Not we that life is leading us 3-0 from birth already.
Even if it's to buy car, park it and use 6 months to sell it, its better than going to put money in 20% yearly investment.
