Babadee1900:
I don do the one I fit do today. Closed for the day. Sitting in traffic now, I they go house.

Any improvement compared to prevent days?

Babadee1900:
Yes, PETROCAM. Nice idea bro, e make sense.

How the work dey go today?

Babadee1900:
I almost got cheated by a fuel attendant few minutes ago.

I stopped to buy fuel at PETROCAM, Marwa. I gave him 3000 and he programmed it into the pump. Immediately he started dispensing the fuel he went to the other of the pump and I was paying attention to the meter. When it got #19XX, I looked away to take a mint from the cup holder and quickly looked back to the meter.

Like magic 19XX turned 3000 in less than five seconds. I signaled to him that the machine has stopped. He was about closing the tank when I checked my gauge. From E to Quarter tank, I knew something was not right. I called his attention to it and told him that how come the meter jumped from 2100 to 3000 in split seconds, he said he doesn’t know that since he programmed 3k and the machine is showing 3k that there’s no cheating there.

At this point I changed from English to Yoruba. Told him if he doesn’t behave I will change it for him right there.

He didn’t say anything, he went to the pump, programmed 800 and dispensed into the car.

For this hard time na em person who play another person wayo?

Dem don do me something similar at their fuel station at Olokonla, Sangotedo.

From that day, I wise up.

On Uber or Bolt?

The sad part is that PDP can't even call him to order just because he's their Chief Financier.

To think that some greedy partners are not willing to compromise their rental fees.

Uber, at ikeja at the moment but have been to ogba, ojodu, adeniyi Jones thru to ikeja quote author=Seun360 post=89418710]

Where is ur location and which of the ride sharing app are you using?

It's a must to have the Bolt app now, if you don't have it before you have to download the app and do the needful.

During this period, you need to maximize ur time.

Parlee:
Almost 2 hours out, only 1 request so far and the babe cancelled almost immediately.

Where is ur location and which of the ride sharing app are you using?

AngryIgboMan:
Lol... I thought you were promoting them before?

Uber don knack this one Akpako

Even I noticed of recent that you have been looking like a human being since this Lockdown. Your cheeks are now buffy. Unlike before when you always looked like a Lizard.

That means you have been suffering all these while and claiming luxury driver up and down.

Luxury driver ko, Basic Driver ni

Free the bird biko.

peeps4u:
Felicity0001, you sabi write story ooo.

If i may ask, how much are you paying your partner this period?

My brother, na big question you ask so, with the ride-sharing app's mammoth commission in addition to rental payments?

I no even bother to pick my partner's calls when he called me yesterday.

Eh better make I dey sleep dey wake up at least for now.

Felicity0001:
AC is the main killer in this job.

And the only thing I achieved yesterday was paying some good fraction of my bolt debt.

Since yesterday was Friday I decided to drive base on some indicators which point to a bullish out at the end of the day.

Most people would want to go out and get money for the weekend.
Most people working on the island would want to come back home after their usual 1week around their offices.
Demands for humanitarian workers "olosho" is usually every Fridays.
Last opening day for market in the week.
et el.

Put on bolt apps which is uber and taxify. Mind you I didnt go out on Thursdays at all apart from driving to refuel at the filling station. I bought N1k fuel.

Now see how your AC is the main reason drivers are not netting reasonable income.

With approximately N1500 in my tank I didn't want to leave the house unless a request comes in, so, 1st request came in after about 1hr on taxify.

At first I was reluctant but drove to PU believing I could convince rider to go on offtrip since I was owning bolt N12,212. But unfortunately rider disagreed, its was a 3rd party ride. I didnt wanna start my day with paying debt knowing fully well I'm having just about N1500 pms in my tank with no other cash on me. So I drove off. That trip would have ended N2+. But no worries! I was positive to have a good day and I truly did.

The 2nd request came in on uber that would have been my 13th trip on uber for the week. Trip started without AC but as the traffic was building up with so much dust and heat and i notice rider(he) was contious with his phone and was sweating vigorously I then decided to put on the AC. Trip was from Scheme 1, Oko Oba,Agege to inside berger. Trip ended N1900

The next trip came in while I was get to end the 1st. At this time I didnt use AC but was a short trip still within inside Berger. The lady paid N500 still cash.

Drove from inside berger around the FRSC to ADDAS SuperMat Agidingbin, parked in their car lot for about 40min then the 3rd came in, babe was going to Adeniji Jones and trip ended N700 cash.
Still no AC.

I then on the AC a little due to traffic and drove, waited for some minutes with no show, driving to ikeja along a delivery trip to Osborne offshore estate, Ikoyi. No AC still and trip ended N2500.

Atbthis point my fuel indicator was then showing. Drove from there to NNPC b4 falomo. Bought N1500. Drove down to falomo close to the bridge then a trip came in on taxify, destination- Ajah.

Now; lets do the math.
All trips where cash uber trips.
1st trip = 1900
2nd trip = 500
3rd trip = 700
4th trip = 2500

Total = 4600.
Estimated fuel in Naira (N)= 1500.

Bros, I will chat you up on WhatsApp.

No be this man kill em wife?

dramaine:
Lagos returned vehicles seized during the lockdown back to their owners...What in Gods name is Wike doing?

That's the difference between APC and PDP.

Felicity0001:
Not active at thw moment. Remember it's a promo and notification is always sent first thing every Monday but at this time it has not been made available.


If you ask me, I'll say this lift on the lockdown is very much unnessary.

Though I understand the government want the poor in the society to use this time to raise some money to sustain them for some time since they can not provide palliatives to keep them at home for long while they fight they virus.

But looking deep and using uber driving as a yard stick. How much can a driver net a day?
Most businesses are under locks and keys.
Most banks are branches are closed.
Religious houses, all social gatherings, club houses, schools, airport and many others are locked indefinately.

How then do they want the poor to even have something reasonable within the hours allowed to to go out in a day? The other day I decided to drive I managed to gross 9k+ I was left with almost nothing after buying fuel, alcoholic disinfectant, data subscription, call card and a few other depending things.

Fast forward to next day, I watched my phone drained out in my sitting room, the only two requests that came in where short trips with long pickup and. to my unfavorable destinations, ended up cancelling them. Nextday, was even worse after taking a trip from Abule Egba to lekki.

Trip ended N4100
Uber commission was N980
Bought fuel N2k
Bought something to eat N700
Managed to carry out 3 short card trips within lekki axis after long wait at intervals in the sun.
It waa closing time and no trip waa coming to take me out of the island.
Called the rider I carried if he would like me to take him back but rider said he waa joining his colleague back home.
O menh, I'd to carry road side picking.

In the end I just thought, what's the unnessary suffering for when one can not boast of coming back home with at least 5-7k after buying fuel and paying commission so one can set aside money for weekly rent and still have some amount for family.

So to me driving at this time is not worth it but will only create a problem btw driver and owners partner because it Will be very very difficult for any driver to pay even 10k weekly.

Seems bolt is a better option for now. 25% commission is on the aside imo.

stephenwa:
Yes Uber App is working...But request is very very slow..u can wait for 3hrs just looking at ur phone..without anything...depending on ur location as well.

Nawao, how is request like on the Island?

The most powerful men in the world have girls.

Barak Obama has two girls.
George Bush has two girls.
Bill Clinton has one girl.
Bill Gate has one girl.
Mark zuckeberg has two girls.
Kobe Bryant gave birth to four girls.

Except he's not average though, many great players don't hit the ground running fast in their first season in the EPL. E.g Mane, Son, Sane to name a few. Pepe has had 3 managers since he went to the EPL, how is he meant to adapt? But agendas yea

You dey mind them?
