ThatNiccur:


This is the actual amount for a trip from Somolu to the local airport, so why then were you defending N1,700.

You're like every other criminal minded Nigerian. One way or the other, y'all love to earn what do you not work for.

geezyk:
I think Felicity001 is right, took a lady to the mmia, she was in a hurry as her dad forgot his passport at home, we got there ended the trip fare was 1100, she asked i take her back, told her to re-order as I was chasing a bonus, I accepted and zoomed off, didn't even swipe arrived, got to her destination, opened my phone to see that I hadn't started the trip, I arrived and started trip, ended immediately, and fare was 1k. So it's quite possible felicity is right.


For doubting Thomas's

ThatNiccur:


So much for damage control, having defended a 10,800 trip from Chevron to after Magboro and a 1,700 trip from Somolu to the Airport.

We know who your type. Speaking from both sides of your mouth, when you know you've been busted.

Why didn't the man who started a trip from Chevron to Magboro, on Lagos Ibadan Express way (not too far from the drop off location) cheat himself, when he ought to start the trip from Chevron? Would that not amount to almost 2 hours of paid waiting? Considering the trip duration?

Same goes for the man who started a trip to the airport from Somolu, on Mobolaji bank Anthony (close to the drop off location).

Y'all play on the rider's emotions and intelligence, making it seem like if you start a trip after leaving pick up, you get shortchanged or cheated, when indeed you're the one shortchanging and cheating the rider. Thieves

Pearl1910:


Good, Now that we r on thesame page, I say let Rider complain to Bolt for clarification of the confusion in d details rather than forming inspector gadget and claiming drivers are defauding him by starting trip midway.
Only trouble makers or ignorant fools make noise for no reason. And coming to do it on partner and drivers forum for r that matter. Nonsense.
Everyday we berate drivers who cheat Riders. And viseversa. We even help riders to contact or disturb a driver to refund funds collected fraudulently. I will never defend fraud.
Accusing drivers of fraud for something that has already been calmly explained to u over and over again will not be accepted by me.

izzou:


You didn't add base fare.

We are also assuming that only PuzzyNegro was the only one on the road that day. No other car was plying that route.

The fare is obviously more than 1200.

I have tried using my app to check. And the least I got was 1600 (2000 minus discount of 400)

I think his own case is an error on the Bolt algorithm. But that doesn't mean drivers don't find loopholes to perpetuate fraud

tunlapapa:


We are not on the same page over this issue.
Mine is drivers like the ants are using it to beat the system and make others look as if they don't know how to work.

ThatNiccur:


Even in the eye of the truth, you choose to doubt facts.
Meanwhile man even said his house is just 2 minutes from the express. This location might even be more than that, because I input Somolu and not an exact location.

Do the maths and tell us how it should be 1,700...no traffic, no surge, no paid waiting.


Your doubting is irrelevant though.
Whether you doubt a Corolla car is a Toyota product or not, doesn't change anything.

Y'all always look for a way out, it's difficult to find a Nigerian that would say "oh I'm sorry, I goofed, apologies."

Doubtist lol

geezyk:
Low fares no dey even inspire me to drive again, from mmia to chevron na like 4k, there was a day I picked a rider from vgc to mm1 and fare was 5k, omo I just weak even with traffic, riders want to pay zero to nothing for comfort, and them go still complain give you -1 star


Una wey dey go after Berger dey try. Anything after Berger you no fit use rope drag me sha.

Pearl1910:


In the same way u were confused when u started Uber is d same way u will be confused how the current Bolt works If u r to come back. Ur old experience doesn't count since u guys need different strategy for d different Apps.
I drive on both Apps, I don't wear a different hat each time I go online on anyone of them.

FuckEveryday:
Lol, It's funny this Paid Waiting trick is just getting to this group, even more funnier people are arguing it doesn't work

The trick don cast tho, doesn't work anymore....a lot of driver used it to Cashout when it was in full flow...Bolt blocked most of em and stopped it.

If alot of people learn about the "yahoo" part of bolt, they'll buy their own cars in 6 months. Uber doesn't give 2 fvcks about u, shit doesn't work on their platform.

This one below has been going on since 2020, and will not end anytime soon

PS: SAY NO TO FRAUD

obinoral1179:
My driver just collected #200 for toll gate from me, let me see if he remove it from the cash i will pay him... You guys are doing a good a job..

ThatNiccur:


Base fare is 220. Your estimate right now is wrong because there's surge in that area, I just checked too.

Pearl1910:


The bolded applies to u too.
How convenient to ignore the 39minutes which is just an estimate from the google map. And hammer that trip was 24minutes

How convenient for u to assume, there was no surge or traffic. Only the drivers App will give an accurate calculation of that trip as per distance, time and base fare.
That Rider will not even notice if there was surge or not cos he was on a Bonus that reduced his fare to less than 1k. I mean, who goes to Airport from Somolu on less than 1k to on a private chatterd car and turns around to complain that driver cheated him.

Otitodilijesu:


Pearl1910

Are you saying this driver short changed himself by starting the trip after Berger? If yes, the trip ended at 11k plus. Do you think the trip should have fetch the driver 15k plus

Gudvibes06:
Good day bosses on the house pls is offline from 12 to 5pm at 10k worth it ? I need urgent reply. From lekki to lakue and park there till 5 and back to lekki.

Pearl1910:


If u like work for Taliban and ISIS na them they pay pass now. I don't care, all I know is u r not sincere, because u knew driver didn't start trip and u didn't ask him to do so. So that trip will end as N500 and u will say "aiya sorry I can't pay more than what I see on the App"

So yes, always insist driver starts d trip before he drives off so u don't cheat him with low distance covered and he doesn't cheat u with paid waiting. I rest my case.

donfortune48:


I once got a request (early last year) from Akowonjo to lekki(Piccadilly suites). Around 9:30pm.

I picked up rider and negotiated offline with her (4k). But I was chasing weekend bonus and wanted to start and end the trip after driving for few minutes. So I left it on paid waiting.

I didn't start the trip till I got to Chisco bus stop (4th round about) with about 45mins paid waiting and ended it just after making a U-turn at Igbo efun, hoping to see #800 but saw 4,700.

I had to review the trip with trip did not happen.

ThatNiccur:


I didn't say you do not have sense, you said it yourself, thanks though.

Base fare is just 220, added to 1050. Max should be 1,300.

Man said there was no surge, no wait time either, which means he didn't keep the driver waiting.

Why did the driver start the trip from Mobolaji bank Anthony, as against starting from Somolu (the pick up point)

He still got 1,700 as against your theory of cheating yourself if trip is not started at the pick up location.

Continue to indulge in it and keep defending it, you dey gather Karma wey generations go come inherit, no worry.

IFSHR:


If you are parking till 5pm....them it's not 12-5pm.

10k for me is poor....12-15k is better.....2k for fuel


10k net is better

Pearl1910:


Early last year, there was no paid waiting. Was there??

Ur story get k leg.
If u were pursuing bonus u wouldnt go on long distance trip. U will be doing sort short trips.

Why did u wait till getting to Lekki to start trip?, U should start and end the trip shortly after so it will count for u as a short trip, low fare, meaning low commission deducted.

Why will u negotiate 4k when u can get more online. And u still allowed trip to be reading till u got to Chisco

Too many questions unanswered.
In any case that [b]may have been possible early last year when Bolt App was still unstable.[/b]

ThatNiccur:


Say you join crowd shout thief for person head, no mean say you sef no be thief.

That you help call out drivers who cheat doesn't exonerate you.

Defending this particular action (whether ignorantly w or otherwise) implicates you the more. It only shows you do not want it casted, as it is your modus operandi to net 1m monthly.

tunlapapa:


Why are you getting yourself worked up over this issue?
*in a whisper* is this cheat still working? Let me quickly register my vehicle so that I can make wayo money and buy another car in 6 months

Show me your screenshot that's close to 1200

I'd like to see it.

And yes, there's no surge

I said 1,300 not 1200. Trip was summed up to 1050 by pearl's calculation, I added 220 base fare which made it 1,270 and rounded it up to 1,300.


There's surge in that estimate, you should open up the details of what you posted up there.

Mine shows 1,900 to 2,300 and I have 800 discount. This is an estimate on 1.3 surge pricing

Pearl1910:


With that second screen shot of urs, I think I have been vindicated that that guys trip was on surge. Hence trip ended at N1,700
Because his base fare was N312.

izzou:


So what's the difference between your screenshot and what PuzzyNegro is complaining about?

You have a discount of 800, if not, it would be 1900 for the trip

PuzzyNegro had a discount of 800 and his total was 1700

So please, what is the Sakamanjeh in this?

Or are you trying to tell me that there was no single multiplier when he ordered?
