Lol genuine OEM Will be above 80k

Vision2045:
To be honest we sincerely need a platform where atleast 70% of e-hailing partners can be reached.....

This companies just do as it suit them.... I don't know if anyone notice that today....around that afternoon destination was hidden.

Now they are talking of economy .....same car, same fuel cost....same wears and tears, same distance.... But low fare.....

Abeg who no go choose economy when you know the service is same as the lite.....why the premium package no sell, na cos less people opt for it....before we know it economy will become the new lite

Aswear if I get money I go buy that indriver repackage their strategy and app... In just a year .. Bolt will be out of business in Nigeria

Imagine someone on economy behaving rudely towards you with the 300naira him/she wan pay u...

pope191:


Boss let d driver drop the car wit d owner when off work, its for a greater purpose or is it until the car owner brings provision to his bedside at d hospital they will both understand where all these is heading too... Have you ever seen a keke man that work from 5am to 10pm before? Yet they work in the morning, go home and sleep and back during closing hours and still b off road before an uber driver that has been on the road all day. Do you think if uber drivers pay owo mi de like 1200/1500 a day, take home won't b more than 2/3k after commission and fuel

northbird:


Your name would suffice bro. and 2k to be paid into the bank ( very close to d lasdri office., you just cross to d oda side of d express. )

jaymejate:


Thanks. Can't I pay in the office like to water the ground? You fast fast stuff

I know what Bolt is trying to do. They see that all other means of transportation are increasing their fees. Danfos, train, and every other transport blah blah blah, they are increasing.
This means that people will choose to be comfortable to take Bolt because it's a slight difference in transportation fare.

They did not think about the number of people cars on this bolt can carry and it's not a carry and drop thing or junction to junction thing. Moreover, even if there are millions of requests, traffic will never allow you to do enough for a day. We never talk of those touts calling themselves law enforcement idiots.

It's bad

I don't think bolt proposed penetrative pricing strategy is entirely a bad idea on itself. IMHO!!

Uber did that some years back and it was able to get more people to catch the e hailing drift at the time cos many saw e hailing as an expensive transport option until prices came down and more people got into the bucket .Prices would gradually be increased without riders knowing.

It makes absolutely know sense queing to pay 1 k per head from say agbado ijaiye to Oshodi in a rickety bus while 3 of us can ride share an e-cab for about same amount with all the comfort,safety and security that goes with it.

More rides means more money whichever way you see it,it's all about volume,IMHO!!

I am pretty certain there will be incentives for drivers in form of bonuses to make up for the differential.

And those shouting Uber is the next bae, Uber reduced fares back then and never reduced commissions and heaven did not fall and I am not sure it would anytime soon

Your money and your National Driver's license

deedee44:

Drivers will rush back to Uber, small time Uber too will introduce their own craze and drivers will rush to the initially abandoned bolt. Sometimes I feel like Uber and bolt have meetings on how to keep using drivers to play ping pong

AngryIgboDon:
Bolt is a very useless company. I can't believe that drivers are even taking that survey regarding the reduction of fares for more trips. Can you imagine? And some illiterate drivers will go ahead and tell them to reduce fare for more trips oo.

I am advocating for fewer quality trips that will yield more money and more profit, this hopeless company is talking about more low quality trips that will damage your cars and wreck you forever! Take note of the word quality. Drivers, do you really want more trips that are practically useless or fewer trips that are more quality even if its 2 trips per day? What exactly does bolt mean by reduction in fares for more trips? I will gist you.

Drivers, are you willing to see a situation whereby Bolt will make their base fare 200 naira like Uber and charge 30 naira per kilometre so that all sorts of animals and charlatans can flood the system for more trips? This is what they mean by more trips oo. Do not be deceived. You will think that you are making more money because
of the so called more trips but the reality is that you are wrecking your body and your car.

I have personally done my own survey and guess what? Riders are suprised at how dirt cheap ehailing is in Nigeria especially those riders coming back from abroad. Attached is a picture I got from a website that aggregates the price of ehailing from countries all over the world.

In Japan, drivers on Uber earn over 40 dollars per 10 kilometres they drive. At 466 to 1 dollar currently, thats 18,640 for a trip from Anthony Village to surulere which is approximately 10 kilometres. We have not added time and base fare oo.

In Hawaii, drivers on Uber earn over 20 dollars per 10 kilometres they drive. At 466 to 1 dollar currently, thats 9320 for a trip from Anthony Village to surulere which is approximately 10 kilometres. We have not added time and base fare oo.

In Nigeria, drivers earn less than 2 dollars for every 10 kilometres they drive! Infact its approximately 1.29 dollars for every 10 kilometres. Thats a "whooping" 600 naira for a trip of 10 kilometres from Anthony village to Surulere. God forbid.

You think am lying about the 600 for a 10 kilometres trip? Do the maths bro. Uber charges 60 naira per kilometre. 60 × 10 kilometres equals 600 naira. At an exchange rate of 466 to 1 dollar at the black market, you are earning approximately 1 dollar 29 cents for every 10 kilometres!

UNA MUMU NO TOO MUCH?

This is the exact reason why you find it hard to break even after suffering so many years driving. You can't pay rent, you can't feed your family and you can't build a house driving for either Bolt or Uber in Nigeria.

You know why? Car parts are imported. Oil is imported. As fares are dirt poor, car parts prices are rising due to exchange rates.

Shock absorbers for Toyota Camry is now 7500 each as against 5,500 it was before.

Drivers shine your eyes before you die before your time. Stop suffering and smiling. Dump that company called Bolt and find another hustle period!

Sweet journey

Mjosh1000:
Now taxify (bolt) is going crazy.
We are complaining about low fare they want to make it lower

izzou:
Since Uber and Bolt are messing up

If I introduce my own platform, Una go join?

Don't worry, this one go better pass Uber and Bolt

jaymejate:

chucsmoore:
. With the current inflation in the economy Bolt still want to reduce price. I don't think this is a good move. Prices of things are going up on daily basis. Car parts are freaking expensive right now due to foreign exchange, even BRT public transport, is stepping up their fare by 46% due to the current situation of things on ground. This ain't a good initiative on a 20% commission. I believe there are better incentives they can introduce to attract customers rather than crashing price again. This is will surely affect driver partners no doubt
