But how did we get to this point in this country that local government illiterate, touts, mechanic, vulcanizer and Co can arrest cars on the road, taking the place of police officers. Removing road signs just to lure their prey into their trap. Are the activities of local government tout backed up by law or is one of those abnormalities that will dance along in this country. I was at one of the local government in Lagos, you need to see how these bird of ill-omen tout are mocking drivers about drivers begging them, money negotiations and how they strategize and stuff. Is really worrisome because is more like NNPC work for them. I really pity some uber drivers yesterday at their mercy, begging them with 20k+ despite the inconsiderate uber fares. Lets just watch out! 1luv!

If you are on the Island heading to Surulere avoid Carter bridge, rather go through Apogbon. Heavy traffic because of those heading to Apapa.

Good morning house. I want to know if everybody experience this, my phone *hot* seriously when am online on my *uber* app but that does not happen with *bolt* or perhaps is my phone.

my phone is Nokia 5 with 2g ram and 16g rom

if is my phone, is it adviseable I get iphone since that is the phone most drivers use

Babadee1900:
That traffic as been there as early as 7:30am. Saw it on my way to Oyingbo this morning, I thought it would have eased by now.

Thanks for this heads up. Will go back to the Island through Adekunle when I finish here.

Yesterday was really something else for me. I took a rider from Ogba to Lekki phase 1, when I dropped her and checked the time it was 5:30pm. So I set my destination to Magodo as I stay around that axis. I didn't get any request until I got to Falomo bridge. The PU was just 7 mins away, the rider was in V.I. I picked her up and started the trip. She was heading to Maryland, I was looking for the fastest way to get to her destination using Google maps as I wasn't too familiar with that area but this map bleeped me up. I just drove round and round only to end up at ring road where there was a horrible traffic. The rider started complaining that I was just trying to cheat her then I tried explaining to her that it was just a mistake but she wasn't taking it. Next thing I knew this lady started crying o, saying everyone has just been cheating her that day. She started calling all of her friends, crying and telling them about her uber driving was trying to cheat her. We were stuck in traffic, next thing I know, this lady opened the door and said she was going to walk. I said walk ke? We're on a bridge ma, you're not supposed to even open the door here. She said she wants to jump inside the water and end her suffering. I was so shocked, I started begging this lady not to jump and that she should come inside, she didn't agree. I had to end the trip there and told her that I'll take her to her destination for free, that she should just come inside, then she did. She kept crying and crying for almost 2 hours until we got to Maryland. I was so exhausted that I don't thinrk I'll work for a few days.

Crvrider:
Okay. You're really doing okay. I target 2.5k - 4.5k per day minus fuel using InDriver alone and it is practically impossible to achieve considering the time I close (7pm) from work when on morning shift. I really need to get uber activated. What's holding me is that there's a scratch on the driver side of my car and I need a spare tyre.

...if only InDriver has set destination feature. The other day, I blew empty from vi to ajao. Plus you have a lot of people playing with the app.

davit:
Pope191, don't know what your 291 stands for though, you better come and tell us your experience with the police before....

And I was just around Adeniran Ogunsaya that time.

pope191:
Bolt is beta than Uber when it comes to setting destination.

deedee44:
I saw this post late, I would wait if I were you.

Lagos traffic is not predictable, you could be hoping to do a quickie and traffic turns it to a longy for you.
Also, your rider may finish earlier than scheduled, he would be disappointed if you delay him knowing he has offered to pay a token for your time

Crvrider:
I drive a 2002 vehicle and am not sure bolt will accept.

deedee44:
What indriver has is better than set destination, it just requires patience and luck.

radautoworks:
Is it "connected direct" or did you switch to manual compressor? Also check sparks and coils.

Guy you be spirit Just like you say is eggzatly what happened. I set destination to Eti-Osa LGA and got this trip...

Phone rang, a wonderful female voice came in with good and well mannered approach. Arrived at PU and she said I should first take her to Mega Plaza to get sth b4 we proceed to lekki ph1, my mind was already beating so fast and the discomfort was undisguished on my face despite the woman engaging me with some pleasant discussion. I managed to put a smile in and thank God she was sitting at the back seat.

Got to Mega Plaza and she decided to changed her mind that I end the ride with appology because she wouldn't want to take my time. Trip ended N400 she gave me N500 and left the changed.

I just off my app drive down to FCMB HQ to wait for the man.

Then decided to get some fruits for my family because I already know that would be my last Trip for the day as it was quite getting late.

I never even buy fruit finish wen I saw the security men looking and searching every where for me that Oga is waiting for me. Na xo I run down.

Me: Sorry sir I just went down to get sth.
Oga: its fine, let's go.

We got back to Allen, he paid me and then booked another appointment for weekend outside town with me.

Thank God that lovely woman decided to end her trip else I would have disappointed that man yesterday

ncnerio:
Las Las indriver will shake the table. Most people take them cos of the set price. A rider said even though I know the hold up will hold us me topping the fair makes it easy on both of us. I top with what I have you take cos it a set fair aggrement so it like a tip or bonus. I laugh tire. Las Las no no more than the usual hold up and yet she add 500 with smile. I smile too take am.

donfortune48:
Got a request (dolphin estate), drove to pick up. Rider came out and said sorry he's not going again; that I should start the trip and end it so they'll charge him for the stress and went back inside. (card trip).
That's how I started the trip, ended it immediately and found myself offline.
Trip counted as a declined trip. When I was close to clinching my morning bonus. I lost the 5h and lost the 1.2k also. Next time, move for some km b4 ending it.

Luckily I got another trip to surulere.
I'm in my house now frying for breakfast.

We continue @11am.

pope191:
Sorry for the unexpected, maybe u need to take out time to study the map and as well ask rides for direction. About her, she's going through what we therapist call pseudobulbar, and it can b cure with some therapeutic treatments and counsel. Lemmi have her number, it will b a pleasure to render service selflessly.

toomush:
Is bolt broke now, that they are disturbing me for N4000?

Will I be placed on card trips now?
