Hello guys I need your help, I have been following this thread for a while now and I must say I have been learning all along. I currently earn less than 100k in my place of work. But I have my online business i do alongside my work. From what I have learnt so far, you guys advice not investing over 1m in this hustle for now. I will be collecting my contribution in November 800k in total please which good car for Uber and bolt can I get for 800k I noticed peugeot 407 is quite cheaper but I have not seen any Uber driver using it. Please do you recommend I go for peugeot 407 with my budget or what good car will u recommend that I can get for 800k for this hustle. Besides I stay in Abuja not Lagos. Please I need sogestions please, help a brother.

Nigerian government and useless policies. How can you tell if I am Uber/ driver if I Noh show you my phone.

How can lastma or vio ask me for my phone and I will hand it to them? because I don't know how they can identify e hailing cabs without having to check drivers phones.

PEDPA will find it difficult to operate because e hailing is a tech business and cannot be subjected to conventional regulations.

Uber/ bolt will just close their physical offices and keep operations strictly online. Shikena

Pls do you have an idea of how much is Timing chain and Adjuster.

Crvrider:


This thing is real and could affect the business. These ehailing companies are taking the matter seriously. Got a call from an indriver rep. today, some lady with a foreign accent. She wanted to know:

If am aware of the governments new policy?
If I know what the governments intentions are ( which of cause is to start collecting commissions from the ehailing companies)

Also requirements from the drivers
She asked if I have the lasdri card (I answered yes)
If my car is nothing less than 3 years old. (I answered no)

There's really going to be some serious shake down...drivers get ready.

Why haven't I been fortunate enough to complete a ride on indriver since I registered?

Request will come, before I'll offer my price, it's already taken.

Got a notification one day. Egbeda-to-cheveron drive. And it was showing #3,100.
Before I'll say let me offer 4k and manage it, trip have already been taken.

slamstanlee:

I saw something on twitter
From 20th this month. Only new cars or 2017 model latest will be allowed on E-Hailing.
And some mad taxing from lagos state government

izzou:

starchris:

Some drivers got no chills to think if the price is favourable or not, you will see a request of 4k norm and someone will offer 1500 on indriver and a slowpoke driver will just quickly accept without accesing the distance of the trip and if possible there will be traffic on the way...


That's why i hate that indriver.

Crvrider:


Where bolt and uber trumps indriver is in terms of pricing when there is traffic. Don't forget the driver takes it all, no commissions attached.

I took the following request this morning just as a case study:

From: Akeem shittu st. 11
To: CMS bus stop
Riders price: 2100

Uber's price: 1600 - 2100 (with commission)
Bolt's price 1700 - 2100 (with commission)

Ride details:
Distance 21km
Time 32m

On uber I have heard drivers say in shock that after a trip they saw 300naira, this is something you'll never see in indriver, the least is 500 and you're not obligated to go on the trip.

Olayetan:

Can you share the link?

davit:

Allof them? I m available. When are you planning to move them?

Gentlelife50:

Chaii, see better job

too heavy for a car

Gentlelife50:

Thank you for bringing out this important fact, a lot of drivers forget they are not paying commission on indriver, remove the commission and you will see that it's practically same thing

Olayetan:

Will it be same thing when a rider offers you 1500 for a trip of 4k norm and you quickly accept it cux you aren't paying commission from the money n while on the trip, you encounter heavy traffic.

Would you say its favourable?


I feel what the app should do is to assign the offer to a driver closest to the rider and allow the driver to offer his own price and if the ridee doesn't accept the offer, then the order can now be sent to another driver instead of assigning one trip to 20 drivers and not giving them the chance to bargain.


Some drivers will just quickly accept it and later want to bargain cux they don't want to loose the request to another driver but it would have been late cux they already accepted the offer.
