You can’t relate and understand the logic but I’ll help you… well as for shoprite, before you make your request come outside stand very close to a good landmark eg entrance 1/2, kfc, chicken rep etc…. Let a driver know you’re already in front of entrance 1 or kfc.

For blenco, always be outside the exit gate book ride especially bolt they most times 1-5mins away… tell the driver you’re already waiting for him at the entrance. It’s help in looking for cars in the parking lot like someone wey lost money…. Naija parking lot no get number or any good order try these above methods and come back here to let us know your experience.

White man go Dey outside waiting and tracking the drivers movement but naija go enter mall without buying anything yet and book Uber down to waste his time after finished for over 30mins they’ll begin Dey call oga where did you park in a very big parking lot

Once I see these name pooping on my pickup screen: Xe, Xao, Jin, Mei all I needed to do is tell them i am driving to entrance 1 or 2.

Their reply most times is okay my friend I meet you there…

We’re not really ripe for technology yet…

Don’t even talk about delivery bikemen those one Dey suffer from riders end

Leaving abj, same guy picked me up in town to the airport. This time he told me to go despite telling him that I've checked in online. While on the plane, he sent his details.

Getting to GAT, Lagos, at about 10pm, I started requesting ride on bolt, hmmmmm, the bolt cabal there should be feared by all. It made me understand the usual driver gathering at the airport

So, after trying like 8 times on 1.7 surge, one came over and told me that I should pay him 5k, whereas, the price on the app indicated 3.5k. I checked Google maps, no reds. I told him no deal, I wanted the trip online, he arrived and cancelled later tried again it entered their clique again.

At 10:30pm, I opted for Bendel insurance. Trekked to ikeja under bridge, entered korope. The total amount I spent to my area finished at 300h.

I just did my usual

Truth be told some of us are mean.

Next time I'm traveling, I'll park my car at the airport and get a trip out than go through hell from some drivers.

So, the guy met me at the arrivals. Let me help you with your luggage, I'm fine thanks.

We got to his car, it's Honda Accord. The car on the app was Toyota Corolla. Told him I may not go with him. He assured of a safe trip and I obliged, quickly arranged for Bendel insurance just in case he plays funny.

So, we got talking. He told me he relocated to Abuja cos of Lagos blues. The guy turned out to be a very cool guy. He saved my number cos of intracity runs. I observed that Abuja chauffeurs are more relaxed, cool and courteous probably due to the fact that the environment is more friendly and has better infrastructures compared to Lagos.

At my destination, had to do a transfer cos the trip was supposed to be a card trip. He gave his details and was to leave, I said no, I want him to receive the alert after like 30mins of trying he got the alert.

Better still, don't wait for riders during trips except a few situations where you have to apply a human face. Such waits must never exceed five minutes. Waiting is forbidden when it's a short trip. End trip if rider insists on making a stop.

I don't know how Bolt really works, that's why I don't bother with that app. If it's Uber, be sure wait time and time spent in traffic counts. So, if you are on Uber and you are lucky to find a surge trip (between 1,6- 2.0 only), you can wait during a trip.

Waiting during a good surge trip is a cool way of making money without lifting a finger. Anything other than that, it pays you more to keep moving. In this business, your interest should always come first. Forget how a rider feels because they are not considerate themselves by asking you to wait stupidly.

I don't know how you think traffic works bro.
Maybe you're thinking that staying in traffic will be increasing your fare by #500 per minute.

If the distance and time covered on that your screenshot is correct, then bolt even over paid you at 6k.

Distance = 47.5*70 = 3,325
Time = 147*12= 1,764
Base fare = 260
Booking fee = 20

Total = 5,369
Approximate = 5400.

I avoid traffic like a plaque. Even with surge trips, cos spending extra 1hr in traffic can only add #700 to the actual price of a surgeless trip. 1hr=60mins=60*12=#720

Conclusion: Traffic adds to the price of a trip; but it's almost insignificant.

Pearl1910:



How much would it have been if u did it on Uber??

cutegoddy:
See me see wahala oh I go do road worthiness after paying 6500 they print out paper say I get unpaid bill and would not be issued road worthiness certificate say make I go pay 20k. And my current RWC dey expire on 17th of this month. Person say maybe I don comot one traffic offence wey I no remember.

Barbiturate:


If you have uber rider's App, you can insert the location I moved from and the destination to check the amount

MrReeseG:




So for Blenco or ShopRite wey cars plenty like werey, make I no ask which side you dey? Make I begin dey look for your car among hundreds... You try!

My experience yesterday! While I was angry there wasn't surge and na small 9h trips popping upandan, ended a trip on Osolo way and immediately a 1.6x request to V.I popped up, sharperly I turned, called the man to know his exact spot, but the way he replied on the phone was somehow rude, I ignored cos 1 million this December.

Got to pu at chicken republic, he was busy checking out my car, plate number and all, I was just laughing, he hopped in with his friend, both putting on senator wears, I dey happy say na better people, immediately the hopped in, I swiped arrived, then proceeded to find my way out to the road. As soon as I positioned on my lane I showed them at the back that I'm starting he trip, but it seems they were both carried away cos the orderer was on a call and ranting like mad. But I'm less concerned cos my own na kowope.

Immediately we climbed the oshodi bridge and right in the middle baba just said that "Oga you didn't even show us you were starting the trip" my head rang aloud immediately, Omo I change am for am oo, told him if he wasn't aware when the app told him I've arrived in the car, baba still dey talk say I should have told him. I say no be you go spoil my day, oya I'm not going again, come down biko, we were just passed lasma office to the front, baba say I should take them to bus stop, I say No, I manage take dem a little before we climb the bridge, dropped their senator wearing asses in the hot sun and zoomed off. Went straight to gbagada, and made a comprehensive report and still told them they didn't pay before bolt go block me unnecessarily. Omo mad people dey Lagos oo, but the next rider was so full of joy, a lady and we gisted till we got to her destination at ikeja.

davit:
Guys dey check your earning very well o. Bolt don increase commission o.

I just did a calculation of my earning today.

Anyone else noticed this?

Ghost1994:


Have encountered several riders that’ll claim that oga I don’t know when you start your trip with attitude but the best response from my side will be: sir/ma seems you’re carried away with your call/whatever he or she was doing before I started the trip.

I’ll keep my mouth shut till we get to the final destination to avoid any arguments.

Barbiturate:


On bolt, traffic doesn't increase anything, but it does on uber

Brethren what's going on? By this time normally everywhere is supposed to be surging, but app is white most times. Sometimes I have to go offline and come back again to check if there's something wrong with my app or phone. Abi we don enter the winter??

We are always quick to complain when the fare is incomplete but never have we told Bolt/Uber to do fare review that the fare was excessive especially if the Rider has paid already.
