Lol...it has happened to me many times but the one that paned me the most was the one that happened recently. I reached pick up point after passing thro ugh bad horrible road, I saw the 2 Oloshos about 4 buildings in front of me. I picked up phone to call, that's how one yellow commercial bus filled with olosho girls was passing, they waved it down and jumped in. And immediately they cancelled. Chai[b]. I felt like ramming into that bus[/b].

...very funny reading this, but terrible in reality. This aspect of ehailing is the most traumatizing. The first thing I do is have their direct line on my phone, for those that have. The kind of non violent texts I send them after such heinous act, some return the text apologizing. Even witches and wizard are not as wicked as some of such riders ...
What is the ideal per km now on indrive now. With 1,244/L, calculations don scatter... riders not picking 450/500/km bids, they rather accept our Zuzuki Rolls-Royce 250/300/ltr

I also wanted to ask this question...for people currently working, whats the ideal per km, and how much has your income dropped since fuel went up to 1k2.

Example, one of the reasons they cancel when u are almost at PU.

One day i was going to pick up, naso i see one empty corolla for my front . We were both entering the same streets for 5-6 Turns, for my mind hope no be say this rider book the 2 of us dey wait who go first reach

Na wa o. So it's who gets to pick up first. They don't even care about the fuel the other driver is going to waste to get to the pick up spot.

Introduction of cancellation fee as low as 200 naira will end this rubbish. But the ehailing coys don't care, all the care about is there commission. Codswallop!.

True.

Has fuel gone down to 850? I haven't been out in a minute... Cus what is this?

I did the calculation, for trip wey i dey take b4 for 13k, now i have to charge 19-20k... That's ajah to vi, bro what the hell is this?

I did some light work yesterday and I used my ac truout. I believe from 480-500naira/km and above with AC and 350km-380km without ac .

I discovered if u are careful to select trips and do sniper style you will break even. Riders are gradually easing off as dey understand the reality on ground.

But most rider still don't wanna pay you

Hmm...but before fuel increased by 300 naira, 400 naira per km was what I aimed for...I would think right now, aiming for 600 naira per km would make more economic sense.

Below.is screenshot of the 2 days I worked this month, before my car spoil..When I fixed it, fuel went up so I haven't worked since fuel went up...but I always aim for 400-500 naira per km before fuel increase. I just feel id I'm to work with this new fuel roicr I should aim for 600-700 naira per km.

Omo i just started again after some time away...Omo prices now are crazy especially with the high price of fuel, asides from the price on the app, I dey bill them extra, some of them understand the situation on ground and graciously give extra. This is what I did with 20k fuel. Before 20k fuel would gross 60k comfortably or more. Started this morning (came out by 6:30am) i grossed almost 50k with tips of 4k5. So I don go house till 2pm. The goal today is to gross 80k with 30k fuel. Something that would have been 90k plus. And yes Indrive seems to be better at the moment if you understand positioning and know road traffic conditions well, if not you go work for fuel stations.

Lol...man can have hope. I notice that when I see 700-1,000 per km in the past it's most times short distances.

I'm sorry I gave u my own template. What works for me. Before d increment I targeted 350km with fuel. Using 20k to make 60k. So I'm used to it.

Sorry everyone will do what works for them.

Your target is very reasonable some guys here target even more. Me I always want to keep it moving as long as I'm making profit. yes I see your point from ur screen shot. I have shared mine also of last November some posts up where I showerld my earning of November last year showing my 350naira

Cheers

Nice earning mate. I'm telling you drivers have to be smart this period. Indrive is the best if calculated well.

My fuel calculations is similar to urs

I don't know if this information is true but a source said lagride is making plans to restrict uber, indrive and bolt operation in Lagos while it will only be lagride operating in the whole of Lagos.


If this is true, how can they achieve that.
