grin That's easy naw. I will keep driving till I reach nearest check point. Bro I'm ready for whatever. Maybe because I gym. I'm on the huge side and always clean shaven so naturally sef riders dey think say I be force man. Most riders just don't want that smoke with me but if e reach like that like d one u described I will drive to the nearest check point and I don't mean drive I will SPEED so that I put fear in her (shebi I be kidnapper). As in make e be say na express we wey as u talk I will go 0-100km/h in record time bro. And drive rough to checkpoint or station as u talk. But that's for this kinda extreme werey.

I'm down for whatever our prayer is God don't lead us into temptation.

grin bro may we never see evil. Even devil dey fear light. Me I be light. grin grin.
it won't ever get to that and if it does then God wants me to act accordingly cool. Because justice must prevail. Riders are so entitled. I always make sure I'm polite and all until u start yelling then I calmly then u I'm ending the trip here and now and if u ask y i will calmly tell u for yelling. I don't tolerate yelling that y I stopped yelling back to riders. I used to do that a lot. Engage them and everybody go dey craze. Now I preserve my energy. I had to learn it else u will be drained

But with years comes maturity. My calmness dey confuse Dem. I'll calmly politely firmly ask u to come down. And you MUST come down.

Good day everyone.

I started my Ehailing journey today in Abuja at Around 6:30AM and got home around.
E no easy at all oh grin

Pricing
I tried to use some of the tips I’ve read on this thread about dividing the trip price by the distance to get the price per KM, preferably at above N350 but the prices on inDrive you’d rarely get trips above N300 per Km and most times once i use my calculator and I see it’s above N350 someone else has already taken the Trip- I lost a very good airport trip of about N400 plus Per Km to this.
Please is there an easier way to Identify good trips without having to use calculator?

On one occasion where, I also noticed there was a difference in price the passenger was to pay me which was about N500 naira higher than what it was when I accepted the trip and since most time passengers pay before we arrive at the destination, I wasn’t able to get the additional N500 as the passenger had left before I realized. Please what influences this increase so i can watch out for it next time?

Village people. grin
I also had my first bad experience today😂
Went to pick up a passenger inside Wuse market and the whole place was packed, I called her to come meet me where I was stuck in traffic and I attempted cutting into another road leading outside the market that had been blocked with caution tapes and some tyres after I had asked one of those hausa boys to help me move it in an attempt to dodge that terrible traffic. Before I knew it, one guy just brought at tyre clamp that didn’t I see that there’s no road there, na so I start to beg oh, the hausa boy that helped me move it say make I try settle the guy before he clamp my tyre, na so I give am 2,000, for ride of 2,700 and the girl(passenger) no even pity me add something after I completed the trip☹️

Fuel Efficiency.
I drive a Rav 4 2004- Before I started my fuel consumption was through the roof. N15,000 naira fuel always struggled to give me 45Miles.
I’ve changed my upstream o2 sensor, cleaned the air filter and throttle body, fixed back thermostat and returned fan to factory settings and I got 130Miles on let’s say about 22 litres and I had a little bit of fuel before I bought N15,000 fuel today which I used to work. Also all of my trips was done entirely with Ac, I only didn’t use Ac on few occasions when I was heading to pick up passengers. Question - do you guys think I would have likely grossed more if I didn’t use Ac at all as I’m seriously considering its usage henceforth.

Navigation
Navigation was here and there .on one occasion I forgot to tap start ride of InDrive and I followed the same route back to the pick up spot where I had just left, Chai

Also on like 2 occasions the riders gave me directions that were in conflict with what Google Maps was showing me as the map was taking me through a much farther route. How do I deal with this going forward and pickup distances are so far which is what is eating up my fuel cry

Conclusions
Upon closing I also tried using Bolt “Trips towards destination” but I didn’t get trips going towards where I live so I just picked people along the road going towards my place. Lo and behold on the way home I started getting trip updates but I couldn’t check the phone to see the detail/prices as it was already dark and I didn’t want to use my phone on the highway.

Lastly, I would really like to know areas I should target for good rides as today after I left baze university, other trips took me to Nile university, Wuse zone 3, Gwarimpa, Durumi, Naf valley estate, Nyanya and I found it difficult to get good rides leaving most of these places.

And please if there’s anybody that drives in Abuja here, what days would you advise are the best possible days for the business as I plan on working only 5 days in a week.

I look forward to getting your opinions and and whatever advice I can get on how to improve my profitability. Thanks

You can also send me a text on WhatsApp make I tell somebody to add you for on one small WhatsApp group that I am. I also started this hustle two months ago in Abuja.

In addition, the best time/days for this hustle is Friday evening to Monday evening. Other days na By grace of God. Sometimes e Dey hot, sometimes you go vex go house. Most in Abuja go to work on Mondays and alternate other days.
Weekends sweet too.
Please AVOID pickups and drop offs outside Wuse market. Na Taiwosamuel for explain give you.
As time goes on, you’ll get some locations that you hate to drive to.
Spam bot banned me for dropping my number. Is your mail active so u can drop it through there, thanks

Also would you say Sundays are profitable in the hustle?
