Bros there is no IF here I can rest assure you that LASDRI and Hackney would be made compulsory, don't get carried away with talk that Uber has not yet sanctioned it that in itself is shallow because is it Uber that will determine what document is acceptable or the Government whose road you are plying.like I said I have the recording and the officer said the only requirement that is being reviewed for now is the operator license, the LASDRI and Hackney are standard and here to stay.For emphasis he clearly stated that you require a Hackney permit once you carry humans for commercial purposes which is what ehailing is all about.so if you have to get documents worth 2k and 5k for one year why not do so for peace of mind rather than paying stupid VIO fine of 20k or more for non compliance.

izzou:


Quite true

But my issue is with the Hackney. Hackney is for commercial purposes, and same goes for red plated vehicles

So will they be demanding Hackney from every blue plate they see?

I feel they are better ways to generate revenue rather than defeating the purpose of blue and red plates

Olayetan:

Thank you sir �

For uber, I don’t know the cost of their vehicle inspection but for bolt, all you need,
1. Your vehicle license document
2. Third party insurance
3. Jack, wheel spanner, fire extinguisher, spare tire.
4. Chilling AC
5. Car must be neat
6. 2k for inspection fee.



For the minimum driving experience, not required, just have a valid DL
That’s all

Still on this hackney permit and LASDRI issue.

First, we need to understand that it is Lagos State government's duty to tax citizens living and earning in the state; as well as businesses in the state.

Second, no ride-sharing platform has an operational license from Lagos State yet. Yes, they are incorporated entities, but they still need a "permit" in the form of a license to do what they do in Lagos.

Third, ride-sharing companies are being economical with the truth when they claim to be technology companies and not transportation companies. It's a stupid argument I don't even need to stress myself to beat down. Just look at what has happened to Uber in London.

Four, Lagos State government wants Uber and Bolt and their likes to obtain an operational license. It is Lagos State government's right; after all, the government provides the roads, the security, LASTMA (to clear traffic on the roads) and the "enabling" or "thriving" or "commercial" environment to make e-hailing happen.

Five, Lagos State government wants every car on e-hailing to also have an operational license as well as Hackney permit. It is the state government's right, after all, it arms the Police that secures lives and properties on the streets and at home when we sleep.

Six, e-hailing companies operational licenses and that of individual cars on the platforms are two different kinds of licenses.

Seven, no matter how long we keep running from these hard facts, they are the truth; and will continue to stare us in our faces.

Eight, so what do we do?
Car owners - get the operational license for your vehicle. It's only #110,000=00 for life! For a vehicle that will bring you rentals of about #1.25 million every year, it is chicken change.

Driver's - get the Hackney permit for the vehicles you drive. It's only #3,000 every year. And while you are at it, get your LASDRI card too; it's only #2,000 every year.

This is the right thing to do to make everywhere "soft" for both car owner and driver.

A few words are enough for the wise.

Totally Disagree with you that drivers should get an operational license of N110k even if it is a one off it is way too expensive and what exactly does operational license mean then you should charge everybody else the same operational license they should just ditch that idea and leave it at LASDRI and Hackney alone.the operational license bullshit is just a way to make money off ehailing drivers and companies it cannot stand IMO.

Medallions were used to regulate the number of cars on the system. They are usually expensive.

Also, Uber and Lyft were not forced to have medallions. In fact, Uber made the price of medallions to reduce drastically, because people prefer to register on Uber than to pay $50k for a medallion

In all, I think Uber should be left to bear the brunt of the law. What if I do only one trip on uber daily,
when closing from work? Do I need a #110,000 license and a #3500 hackney permit?

I think the government is just after the money.

oblozzolawrence:
I see wat you are doing bro...!!!

nitigriti:
I find it amazing that we would make unrelenting calls to riders owing a driver maybe #1,000 or less; but then go ahead to mock a fellow driver who has been swindled of his hard-earned #2,000 by a "supposedly" fellow partner/driver.

Guys, this is double standards. We already need to bombard this swindler's telephone line and social media profiles and shame him into paying back the money.

Something terrible and miraculous happened today guys.
@12pm.

I was at Oando filling station marina when this request came in.
Called rider, she said she's at the traffic light at CMS bus stop on marina. She was going to Aja.

I said okay, that she should pass the traffic light and move forward a bit so that I'll pick her up and zoom off to avoid Lastma and CBD men. She said okay.

I got there but couldn't see her, called her to know where she is, but she was just behaving like a novice.

All these while, I was equally looking out for the CBD and Lastma men, to know when to zoom off and run away.

Suddenly, a Sienna car stopped at my back so I couldn't see when Lastma might be coming again. Before I know what's happening, a Lastma van have blocked my front with over 10men in it. (some tax force were with them). the car at my back has gone by then.

I engaged reverse, but before I could move back all of them have jumped down, but I kept moving back and wanted to run away. They blocked me with their Iron, I climbed it with my two tyres(front and back), but the van blocked me. I engaged reverse again and tried to run from the right, they put that trap again I climbed it, but the van also blocked me.

If they block me on the right, cars will be passing from the left, when they block me on the left, cars will be passing from the right. This went on for over 2mins.

Over 4 of them started knocking on my glass and dragging my door to wind down and open my door, I kept telling them no, and was equally begging for them to allow me pass.

At a point I resorted to park, cos I was already causing serious traffic and they are already getting so angry with me. But then I remembered freshprince91's experience that he paid 20k, I just know that because of the stress I've already given them, my fine will be more than the 60k vio is collecting from uber drivers and decided not to give up till the break my glass and enter my car.

I tried to escape from the right, they blocked me again. I reversed and tried from the left, they also blocked me. I just raised my two hands up and said "okay I give up, I give up"; stirred fully to the right, but my gear is still on D and I was using style to observe the Lastma driver to know when to catch him off guard, while my hands are still up.

Immediately I noticed that he wasn't looking and cars are passing from the left. I just climbed the trap and sped through before he could realise and block me.

The crowd around there shouted in shock.
I matched my throttle to the carpet and zoom off.

I ran straight to VI, packed somewhere around bishop Oluwole, came down checked my tyres and my plate numbers; they're still intact, and I just Thanked my God.

Finally na madness them dey take cure madness for this Lagos.

izzou:
For drivers on rentals,

If (I used IF) and IF the Hackney permit rumours are becoming true, kindly tell your partners to get it.

It won't be easy looking all over your shoulders for 300 days.

LASDRI is #2000 for a year. Think about it, brethren


PS: I said IF oh

northbird:


Boss , do the vio counterparts or the regulatory agencies in New York also come on the roads to arrest motorists.

It was a show of shame today. SARs arresting VIO officers today and for d first tym people were in support of the SARS guys who went to accost d vio officers . I mean on a Sunday . I watched d video.

110k for what? For good roads? or wat? The seemingly good roads in Lagos. Lekki-epe expressway, I pay #200 each time I ply them. .

So 110k for what?

I no know why this your story dey make me laugh, but I thank the Lord for your victory.

LASTMA wan use your earnings take run Val

In my own opinion, next time, when you're trying to pick someone from a dangerous point, make sure they have already gotten to the agreed point before you move. In fact, make she call you say she Don dey there, before you start your car

If Na me, I go tell her to walk back into Kakawa street, or make she call me when she reach Fire service for front.

Ndo!
