we need snake own

northbird:


Good move. But Uber displays destination in California. So I think they can also try it in Lagos. Bolt will fizzle out.

Chai, bolt don buy market!!!

Felicity0001:


Must there be a rating? Abeg do we rate danfo drivers?

I don't see any sense in the S.O.S feature because normally in Nigeria we don't have security rescue, call 199 now and see weather you'll be attended to... So I think that feature is just a waste if time. Remove it!

The developer of any app should try and make it unique so it will ve easy to penetrate the market.

Ocar came with uniqueness and Bolt followed suit... Instant cash out and rider's destination feature.

Indriver came with its own uniquness- fix price... They re gradually gaining ground.

What benefits will both rider's and drivers have with this new app? Copy and paste won't do the magic...

There as to be a features that will attract riders and drivers otherwise, it will be dead on arrival.

To add to your point, let the set destination feature be similar with that of Uber and not like bolt that it's just 2 set destination trips one can do in a day. The idea behind this is for drivers not to filter trips too much leaving behind thw unfavourable route riders at bay. So in my own opinion 2 Per day is okay but it should be allowed to go through maybe after carryout some conditions. Like Numbers of trips, or completion rate wirhin a week.

If you're adapting the indriver pattern then I see no sense in set destination feature again.

Make the price fix but the total fair should be calculated by the app base on the distance and time taken for the trip.

Take for instance

Trip parameters.
Total distance: 20km
Est time for the trip: 45min
Price range: 2000-2800 naira
Amount selected by rider N2500

Actual.
Trip distance: 17km
Time: 35min
Amount paid: N2300.

What this means is that driver used a shorter route and completed trip in lesser time than expected. The fair estimate was actually 2000 to .2800... But rider was ready to pay a bit higher so it should be a win win situation for both parties. Rider will be happy they pay even less than what they budgeted but the reverse should be the case if the traffic is unfavourable.

E.g. trip distance: 20km
Time: 2hrs instead of 45min
Final fair should be higher for equity and fairness.

Also, this system should also come in when rider changes their mind to either change destination or not embark on the trip after going like 2km from PU.

My opinion.

Thanks for your input, the new app is not copy and paste, we are only looking at desirables and deliverables on all ends, one of the uniqueness of this new app will be the security features and follow up on drivers who taking trips to places flagged or suspected to be red zone. We may not divulge all here yet but definitely the house will be briefed before the lunching.
I think there should be rating but done in fairness. You will agree with me that the essence of rating is for moderation on not necessarily to punish drivers and just so you know it wont be ideal to allow some danfo driver kinda attitude.
Thanks once again for your brilliant contribution

Called a guy on Nairaland to renew my license (we all know 1-2 of those agent here), he told me straight say na 19k last…

Well I went online and apply myself with 10,600 naira.

I called the line on their website which a lady picked and told me to go after 3weeks. I choose not to recapture since it’s renewal not new one. Also, I choose closest pick up office to my area.

I did payment on Jan 23 license out yesterday. I didn’t pay anybody a dime just went to their office and frown my face collect my license and leave.

To the guy designing our app, I can assist in some graphics using Figma.

can we talk on whatsapp? all inputs are welcomed. No one knows it all

YeyeGbami:
Uber drops service fee from 25% to 20%, starting tomorrow.

Lagos and Abuja*

For the new app it will be around 10%, major issue is the govt taxes

Viking07:
The Bolt app activates the audio and video on any device immediatly the driver clicks arrive. Dont copy that feature.

noted, the overall aim is towards drivers safety and earning decently, fairness on the riders as well

GeneralZodd:


Really? nteresting

The following features is what the app should have:

1. Ability to choose trips of your choice: it should be able to display trip request info from pick up to destination

2. Open and transparent rating system where drivers can see their rating in statistics at the end of every 10 trips

3. In App voice call and text messages to contact riders

4. Destination trip feature, like 5 usage limit per day would be fine

5. Dynamic pricing, the app should be able to read base on time and distance. Not fixed price

6. Trip request should be be available to drivers atmost 2km distance, not more than this distance.

7. App should be able to run in the background of drivers phone when they are busy with other apps, like multi tasking.

8. App should have its own map for easier navigation and also work with Google map, Waze etc

9. The App should have inapp payment platform where outstanding and commission can be settle instantly with debit cards, bank transfers, Ussd code etc. Payment should be able to reflect within seconds. Not waiting for days

10. Payment of trip should only be in cash. No card trip. Since commission can be settle with debit cards

11. The app should be able to profile riders with valid phone numbers, NIN and picture to ensure safety of the drivers and to avert Crime perpetuated by Evil riders.

12. The app should have face recognition feature or finger print feature before any driver can login and go online. So

13. There app should have surge feature on the app to ascertain where and when demand is high. Prices should increase when there is demand.

14. The app should have effective and efficient drivers support. With ability to send messages in text and in multi media like pictures and short video clips.

15. The app should have S.O.S or Emergency button incase of danger and any critical situation for rescue and assistance.


Anybody wey get contribution should add their own

Thank you for your contribution, we will get back to you after review, we are noting your point especially 15

adolphus08:

I appreciate that you are keying into this driver owned app.
Some of us will want to introduce a feature called a home zone.
Which will be an area enclosed by a certain radius say 15kilometers around a drivers address.
(Within the home zone it is assumed that the driver is familiar with most routes and the activities of law and traffic enforcement officers and know how to navigate around obstacles within homezones.
Within his homezone it will be assumed he knows how to move and handle emergencies like car troubles, location of nearest mechanic and other useful facilities.)
Drivers will be scored based on the amount of ride request they accept that originate and end within their home zones.
Any request that sends them outside of the home zone should not be mandatory and should incur a surge tarrif to encourage drivers to accept it and should be treated like an indriver request where all drivers see the request and compete to accept it.
After the first trip outside his home zone drivers can opt to continue receiving request outside his zone or be forewarded requests that take him back to his zone.
Towards night, drivers should automatically start receiving requests towards their homezone unless they opt to continue outside their homezones.
If enough drivers are not nearby to satisfy a given request then it should be treated like an indriver trip with surge factor added where all the nearest available drivers outside that area will see it and compete for it .

2 pickups longer than 5 kilometers will have the extra kilometers billed along with the trip or another mode of compensation worked out where the rider is not unfairly billed.
This is important cos it's easy for drivers to lose money on long pickups.


3 Minimum.fare should be N800

4 One inspection should be done yearly.

That's my 2 cents for now.
The last one is actually a quality control issue.

Noted, we will get back to you shortly on this after review

We have started building new app , we understudy existing app and collated desirable features, kindly quote this post and state other features you will desire in the upcoming app, lets experience freedom together. one love

Thats because there is hunger in the land.
Some drivers are owing mechanics, house rent, school fees etc.
News of strike no settle with them at all.
This is what companies like bolt capitalize on.
They need you poor to control, take advantage and worsen your situation.

If you want to know how evil and wicked people can be then put them in an environment where they won't be held accountable for their actions,
That is the entitlement bolt gives it's riders on every trip they force us to accept.

I still think the best we can do as a group is pay developers to create our own app, which will be the default app for drivers in this business nationwide.

That way a strike against any of the other companies will be more effective as it doesn't cut into our income.

If every driver moves to the app riders will have to do so because the demand for the service will still be there.

We will need to have some good management and quality control also to balance drivers welfare with passengers needs.

With an ehailing drivers population of more than 10000 drivers. I think this will be easily achievable in a short time with good leadership.

Let me work on this. Pls click like button if you support this!!!

Did you know that Ijebu-Igbo was originally founded by the Igbos from the Ika part of present day Delta state. This is the reason it is called Ijebu-Igbo.

Argue with your fore-fathers

Ijebu land has different parts, the part that stay in the city is Ijebu ode, as at the time of classigication, the ones around undeveloped area regarded as bush area are the ones in present day Ijebu-igbo (Undeveloped part of ijebu), the ones that stay around the riverine area that stretched from ondo are called Ijebu waterside ( ibiade, abigi, efire, makun omi)
