How can I read riders comments about me on bolt?

Crvrider:


98.1 is similar to 97.3. Pure old skool and classical music. I listen to them a lot.

Pearl1910:


Hahaha...

Only a few people really don't mind d trolling o. Most people have soft skin. U will think they are smiling with u. When trip end, Arsenal fan rider will just dash that bloody Chelsea fan driver 2stars.

kanuisagoat:


Some of them think it makes bolt give them discounts

kanuisagoat:


And the ones that won't just talking. Cho cho cho from when you pick them till you drop them. Mouth no dey pain them.

The part I hate is me trying to keep up with the discussion I'm not interested in having or tired of having.

lanrexdo:
Passenger don steal my power bank inside my car.

komodapson:


Hahahahaha.....can't stop laughing... So Arsenal Fans do carry their "hatred" come ehailing platforms again....lol

Gentlelife50:

Your own small, one babe stole my other phone one time.

Barbiturate:
I use a Toyota Camry 08 for this job, bolt precisely. It has android screen....not the normal muscle front.

I used to be on 4.7* rating, but today I saw 4.5*

I usually call rider first. I usually greet first when they enter. I even carry their loads myself and put in the trunk. If it's about driving carefully, I am sure I do. Even before this hustle, when there was no car, if I go out with friends, they usually prefer I drive, even when they all can drive. Even my mom commends my driving skills. So what could be the problem? I usually dress well. Some of my clothes are pretty expensive......sneakers, wristwatches, cologne. Could it be that they see my car and dressing as too big for the job or what? I don't understand the reason for the drop in rating? Could it be that I communicate in clean oral English. I speak very well.
What exactly could be the problem?

There's this bolt driver I met around pharmcity Lekki. He said he does not carry loads o, that he opens the trunk for them. His rating is about 4.9*

Barbiturate:


The level of my A/C is usually high, even when it affects me, I still ignore, just to satisfy riders. My second rider told me to put it off, that my car is too cold.
I don't think the A/c is the prob, but thanks for your advice.

FuckEveryday:

Can never b me

I do my due diligence of making my car Sparkling clean and expensive perfumes, if it gets too cold I shut off d vents facing the driver's side..Wen rider asks for it to b off I put it off fully.

Always on my Best of Wizkid mix from 8am till I close..Both old and young even if I carry Buhari. If u want gospel book me by 5am-7:59am.

I NEVER initiate conversations with riders. On a scale of 1-10 I help with luggages 2% of the time Nd circumstance.

Just do Ur due diligence and don't give 2 fvcks about anyone else...everyone in Lagos has a mental condition knowingly or unknowingly.

...hahahahaha.....can't stop laughing ó...so this is true.

I took a lady from maplewood estate last Sunday to Eko hotel on a bolt ride. We had a nice conversation and all that. Arrived at her destination, I unlocked central lock. When she was about to disembark from the Vehicle, she said:

Rider: why didn't you plead or request for 5star rating...
Me: (chuckled) ...for what sis? I smiled again
Rider: But other drivers do, they keep begging me..
Me: apologies, not to be seen to be rude or sound arrogant. Can I have a minute of your time.
Rider: Yes you can. (She smiled)
Me: While growing up, we (using the pronoun loosely now) all do pray for our teachers to give us good marks/result, same for common entrance Primary 6, I went further Junior WAEC, WAEC/GCE, JAMB-POLY JAMB, all thru University also....

My Sister (quite older than her though) , At this Juncture, stage of my life....I do not need any individual evaluation to validate my decision(s)...(speaking further) I don't believe the rating is objective enough and its quite un-empirical...

Rider: smiled, hmmm hmmm ..... Nodding her head... I'll like to see you some other time...bye

Me: Enjoy the rest of your day ma'am

Rider: ...And you too

(Door closes)
...Zoomed off to go chill over 1bottle and watching EPL

4-5Hours later...

Phone rings....
Me: (who be this again)
Hello...sorry who is online pls
Rider: oh..I'm (blablabla) you dropped me off at Eko hotel
Me: oh yeah, you forgot something? Hope no problem
Rider: No no no, are you still around? I wouldn't mind if you can come pick me up
Me: Eeyah... I'm already in gbagada...so sorry
Rider: Alright...I'll order for another ride
Me: please do ma'am

(An hour and half gone later)

Phone rings again....rider calling...(now I recognize the number)

Rider: You did not ask me whether I was able to get a ride
Me: (I laughed, how e tey concern me) you'll surely do ma'am.....we do unregistered schedules night and day (I replied jokingly, thinking about antleagues and lazyDLeague for my mind)

Rider: stop calling me ma'am...are you not older than me..
Me: (I'm like hehehe, òmó...house don full ó...àwón èru(slave) oloun tí wà nílè ó, referring to my kids now)
I replied: Ah no...It doesn't matter, its just out of courtesy and its my forte

....To be Cont'd...(hahahahaha)

Quick one, lessons learnt...

Just be your self, don't be at the passengers/rider beck and call to determine your actions/inactions

Your life is not dependent on Bolt/Uber.

Have a plan B, just like what Pastor Adefarasin (house on rock) said sometimes ago...

Your Mental health is Paramount, I repeat your mental health is Paramount. Keep it in check. The fulcrum could be tampered with by "insane riders" , if not well manage . Simply because, you tend to ferry passengers instantaneously and you'll come across them in this sinusoidal manner:
"good-bad-bad-ugly-good-ugly-bad-ugly-good"
At high wavelength....

So a word is enough....

My regards to Oga Felicity.... I just gbàdun dat guy for no reason walai, his write up do crack me up. Logic to full in head...

chillex8:

Another area where Uber beats Bolt is their transparent rating system.
It will be very hard to be yanked off the Uber platform due to low ratings.

I'll suggest you stick to the sole aim of ride sharing which is movement from point A to point B. And be professional about it.

You can also sense a trouble rider from their own ratings and conversation before pick up.
You MUST NOT accept/complete every trip request.

Sadly, Bolt doesn't encourage filtering of trip requests and ultimately leads to a BLOCK.

P.S- Most drivers boost their Bolt ratings fraudulently by dummy requests.

Barbiturate:

Thanks. The last lady I picked today from Berger to ikeja really enjoyed our discussion. I even allowed her play her choice of songs by connecting her phone to my android via Bluetooth. Her money was 1800. She gave me 2k and told me to keep the change. She said she enjoyed the ride and A/c. Immediately I dropped her, the rating came to 4.5*

I really don't understand it.

pocohantas:


If I am to respond to you sincerely, I would tell you that a driver like you would creep me out. I just need you to get me from point A to B in the best time. Don’t ask me to connect my bluetooth, don’t talk to me, don’t kill me with AC (I will close the vent or tell you to REDUCE it)…just drive. When you do too much, you show riders that you are desperate for good ratings and some would see you finish, especially on that your Bolt. As much as you need good ratings, don’t be thirsty for it.

northbird:
@ chillex.

I give Uber credit for transparent rating. But as for filtering of trips, Bolt deserves some credit too. As long as it's done within the limits, this is to guard against abuse

On filtering of trips, Uber has no bite. trips can't be filtered properly. how can you filter a trip you can't see in the first instance.?

Yes, ratings could drop on Bolt, for me, it's just a psychological play on the drivers, nothing else. Ratings are absolutely irrelevant.

Passionate888:

What's dummy request

northbird:


Baba, believe it, It's a psychological play on drivers, I don't take it serious. When I still see riders with 2.0, 3.5 on the platform consistently, then it's all crap.

Of course, one shouldn't now start misbehaving, just be yourself, ratings will go down, it will go up too. Life's easy.

Felicity001:


Its a good car... Easy and cheap to maintain, leg doesn't pull like the accords brothers, make sure you inspect well b4 buy, use the recommended oil and transmission, price is from 2m upwards for tokunbo and 850-1.7m for 9ja used depending or location and condition. Very fuel efficient than the Corolla.

NB: all cars usually have bole joint problem but the accord is master of them all infact general overseer of leg dislocation but for the 3-4yrs I used an accord the legs only pulled once so everything falls to maintenance. Ive seen the Toyota pull leg several times.
