So as they failed to increase the price,since when fuel was 830,till 1400 and still counting,better find ur way around it.. the price out there is not for fuel at all,

How many people are on this threat to even begin with..? I can't count how many whatsapp groups drivers don create, omo make God bless me with cng kit abeg

The merits of CNG on this jobs can never be downplayed. I use a CNG installed Honda Accord 05, 2.4L and it's been 13 months and I can tell you for free (not free) that it's the best thing for me after drinking water.

I can't even remember when last I lament about price or what have you. Again, if you think protest will do the magic with these apps company I will tell you from experience protest has never helped drivers in this hustle. Since 2023 drivers has been calling for these protest but nothing to really show. I think the way forward is to take the agitations to these companies,. Ensure they don't operate while you protest, not the shambolic display of going to Alausa to dance and gyrate.

abi atleast it will be easy to pay off not all dis block funds dey will be requesting

The truth is CNG is an added advantage not the standard. The Standard is still 4 plug petrol vehicles of not more than 2.4litre engines.
You bought a car and still invested 500k to 1m for CNG installation on the car. Therefore, u have to enjoy the benefit of that investment installation not struggling to make ends meet ontop ur upgrade/extra expenses again.

Secondly, not all vehicles can carry the CNG. So if d ehailing companies want to make CNG the standard let them say so, so that we all know in other to do this business we have to install CNG so d car can pass inspection.
It will be unfair to fix prices based on CNG or refuse to increase the prices because it's fuel that is going up and not gas.

Cng will never get to the same price as fuel. The market markets will ensure that besides cost of production for cng is lower than other derivatives hence the cheap price. So zero ur mind it won't be as high as fuel NEVER. Nigeria used to waste d gas to get to their main crude. It's cheaper to produce and lighter to transport

I agree that prices are extremely low and to show my disagreement my protest of switching off my AC for useless prices. I also joined in d strike but how many drivers are willing to pay d price. Ordinary 3 days strike how many people did it. How many people will want to march to their office.

Honestly a business will continue to thrive as long as people r making money in it. Cng and small engine cars are cashing out and anyone that wants to continue in this business must adapt else u can create ur own app. It's d hard truth. The apps don't send anyone. If u r to send urself then adapt but complaining won't solve d issh on ground.

Also a clue for some people if you don't have too much money for the cng. You can look for some of this yellow buses that got it free of charge who wants to dekit their vehicle to sell it to you cheaply

Kumuyiii:
Wo, I no wan pay off, make rinubu give am to me as palliative, I no need rice😔

Kaymax2222:
never say never oo but this is not to say make everybody no convert at this stage ooo but remember the raw material for this cng na lng and you know how much those gas station dey depense am?.....almost 1500. So it might be this government that is intentionally keeping it down because that's one of there achievement. Anyway sha make everybody convert to cng make all of us kuku continue accepting the rubbish prices till it becomes unsustainable for cng too then we start looking for another alternative. We die here

Pearl1910:
There are more drivers that don't belong to any group than all the drivers on nairaland and all d WhatsApp groups combined. So even if all d drivers in groups and niaraland comply to strike, there will still be driver on d road that arent aware.
The solution is for the few that can be ralied together to take this grievances to the app companies. Definitely not everybody can fight but let there be a fight even if it's from a few
Your offline trips can't come everyday

Indeed, when i saw that indrive advert, i thought the werey people wan help us do am in a way of pay as you go. 🤦‍♂️

Kaymax2222:
In another new I heard indrive has already short listed some people and they have been called up for the conversion already so it's about to go down......

Y would dey want to dekit?

Jegheter:
bros indrive is better for me. I control price and esp where I want to go. Actually with these higher commissions of Uber is one really earning higher. Their wait time sef dey worry even on d Island.

Indrive is best if u plan well and r patient. Actually if u want to keep it moving and have a high target from 50k above as u mentioned then u MUST need indrive .

That app is a gift and a curse .

My daily target is 50k and above and I use indrive

Yes some actually dekit. I'm a technician at CGC liquified station, we actually get a handful of bus drivers who wants to dekit

1. Because the bus isn't theirs and the owner might want their bus back
2. The need money to do one or two
3. They actually do not need it as their engine is between 1.0-1.4L (Korope)
4. Availability of CNG refill station on their preferred routes.

So yes we dekit them and reinstall. Its a win win for all parties.

Pearl1910:
50k Gross target is very low. Reason I said no high earning driver praises Indrive.
So after fuel and commission u are probably left with 20k. Like u said its d best for u.
U don't control jack, they give u d options to choose from. Bolt Comfort is better than Indrive and when there is surge, u can't even compare.

Pearl1910:
If u know d story of ehailing in Abuja, Benin, Owerri, Ibadan, PH etc u will not say the business will continue to thrive. If this continues, there will be fewer cars on d road, fewer trips on d app and lesser commission. Ultimately everything will crash due to poor service delivery.

Also just know the gas will go up systematically. Cooking gas was 4k for 12.5kg around 2021, Today it's 15k. So if u are banking on CNG remaining low u aren't being realistic. The more people that use it, d more demand, d high the price will go.
It will still be cheaper than fuel overall but that advantage will not be wide again.
Is fuel and diesel not same price as we speak?

Kumuyiii:
Can u inform me wen person wan dekit abeg 🙏

tojahh:
Most times they already have whom they want to sell it to and install. Ours is to dekit and reinstall for our price. Secondly they come, dekit and sell to us which we reinstall for client available.

PS. Because it was dekitted no mean say e go come cheap o. Except you and the bus person don agree una price then una pay us our money for dekitting and installation. As we speak, I have dekitted complete 65L Mijo kit for 600k installation inclusive.

Kaymax2222:
haha bross dekit for 600k when to fit new self no pass 600k
