Good morning guys, I'm relatively new to d ride sharing world and I must say I've learned vital lessons just from reading a few pages here. I am employed but I'm a low income earner (less than 100k/month)but my responsibilities far outweigh my current income and my job leaves me with about 4 days a week which I can use for more gainful ventures. I work in ikorodu and live around Oshodi/sango Ota. I need your help on how much the weekly rental on an average vehicle is at the moment or weekly pay for HP as I'm considering either options. Also if you have a vehicle I'd be grateful to hear from you too.
I've recently gotten my driver's license.
Thanks

Took one rude girl from gbagada to ikeja. Price was N1,200. On Bolt. Both of us had quarrel from d express to her destination. When she paid me,, I had to swear for Bolt cos if I receive this kind insult and rider paid N2,500. I’ll be happy not receiving insult on peanut, yet they plan of reducing it more. Ok no problem. I’m waiting. One, I won’t put on AC. Two, if u insult me I end trip and drop u. Three, if u no take time I might injure u. Four, ur life will be at risk if u don’t respect urself.
That’s why u can’t do uber or Bolt and be successful in Nigeria. Their commission is very high. Fare is so cheap. If u Gross 12k on Bolt a day, ur profit is 6k that is if u drive ur own car. now traffic are everywhere so how do u complete d more rides. Even with d current price at times u won’t be able to off ur app cos request keep coming. I prefer to do 4 trips a day that will give me 10k or more, than doing 10 useless trips. At this juncture, we need a union. #unionforuberboltdriver

Lol I support this post 100%. On the issue of AC, I chose trips I switch on my AC the few times I have done uber this period. If I notice I'm with a rude rider, na heat go kill you there. I won't even touch my AC except I start feeling hot myself. Lol. And for short stupid trips, as a rule, I don't switch on my AC, also, when a rider is not wearing mask properly, AC is turned off. The fares are fxxcking too low. You have to do the best you can to reduce cost.

[s][/s]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

ncnerio:
If they try lower fare that means practically all cars on rentage go either quit or run at a lose cos more repairs.

I know someone that has recalled all his rental cars already,he says the cost of maintenance is killing him

pope191:

Is he willing to sell boss?

Bigleaf1006:


HP, he is giving the drivers offer of first refusal.He is re fixing all the cars to standard and even repainting.

pope191:


Sorry about this, tho you have your share of blame, there's nowhere Uber stated payment via transfer, so it will be hard to give you attention. But on the other hand, since you have the debit alert, why not reach out to Uber and clear yourself by showing your prove of payment. No cause for alarm, its just a battle to prove who is on the right side between you and the driver.

northbird:
.

Sincerely, d driverr mite not see d alert text. Some drivers don't have their bank app to check balance.

Some credit alert text comes in like 16 hrs later after you hv seen money drop thru d bank app.

Send a screenshot of the transaction to an Uber rep.

But, you also abused d system, it was a cash transaction, so you hv no excuses. Use your card next tym, it's Uber, it's safe.

pope191:


They've knack the car badly to b repainting, it is well.

northbird:
I strongly believe Bolt has concluded plans to launch bolt economy.

The survey is just a smokescreen. I mean how
Can you be asking for wat % of price reduction in ur questionnaire Wen in d first question, I told you I don't dig the bolt economy.

Which Nigerian rider in his/her right senses will pick "lite" when economy is available. They should keep their incentives, I don't need it.

northbird:
@ felicity

What are you saying? that he accepts transfers means what? How many drivers have a choice in dt situation.

Oh.... So cos a fuel station accepts POS. If the transaction doesn't clear with them, they will go ahead n still dispense fuel Ba.


The service has been rendered and payment shd b immediate.

I use an android n I have a cable n a car charger for that.

If u r a rider n use android, good. If you use iPhone. Well sorry, I can't help.

My JD is to pick u up safely from point A to point B.

Something we bolt don make up dia mind to implement, only thinking of small incentives to take cover una eyes.

They will do it and nothing go happen, the worst you can do is go off dia app and they don't care.

Be like say you just dey know say this life Noh balance even before God said "let there be light"
