Did u read his post So to u it's not side hustle?

peeps4u:


Wait, does this mean all these Corolla cars will not fly on uber again?

Glithronix:

He will definitely go for inspection.
He only asked for the price and it's 6.5k.
After paying the 6.5k for road worthiness, it takes like a day for the paper to be ready and after collecting the road worthiness paper, he would be subjected to go for inspection with 30 days ultimatum.

The likes of Romeo, Ogunvic, Ifeanyi Mark and I and so on were the first set of drivers to sign up with BOLT in 2015 when they were still in 2 bed room office at Admiralty beside Forte oil Lekki phase 1.

That's like 7 years back. Then Uche, Femi and Nonso the founders of BOLT use to beg us on their knees to register with Bolt. They were ones training drivers. No employees like u guys back then, just 3 of them running the whole thing. Now dem don get money bought a very big office at SALEM. Employ staffs like u and Spread across to other states in N geria

Bro we made Bolt what it is today. I smiled when u said I am newbie. "Ki lo omode Mo" pathetic assumption . Nah our sweat Bolt take grow into Big brand yet no good compensation to drivers. Drivers are working like elephant and earning like ants. They only make good money during festive periods.

Bolt fares used to be much higher then and 15% commission was there share. 50k was weekly rentals drivers pay to car owners. Drivers can make 100k in 2 days during winter period. Now they reduced their fares, introduced cash discount and increase commission to 25%. Is that a growth or decline for Drivers? That's absolutel punishment and sufferness.

Let me correct you on this, we all moved to Bolt because Uber reduced their fares by 40% in 2017 April 17th, there was a massive protest at National stadium, But Uber remained adamant that they would make their fare as cheap as small chops. Drivers angrily left their platform, Now they are shadow of themselves. Bolt took advantage of this situation and launch their brand into prominence. And Bolt fare was far better than Uber as at that time.

As per you preferring Lyft coming to Nigeria to compete with Bolt, I dont think they will succeed. I don't see them adjusting their policies to suit Nigerian market. Nigerian business environment too harsh for foreign multi national to thrive. Uber is an example, the reason why they lost so many drivers today is because of their useless American policies in an African market where alot factors works against businesses. It's only the Chinese that can compete with Bolt, these guys understand any business environment they find themselves. Dudi is already giving Bolt a run for their money in S.A. Alot of drivers are leaving Bolt platform over there.

Abeg tell your Oga "Uche" that boys are not smilling. We are not happy with the fares. There is hyper inflation in country at moment. Things don cost. But fares are not increasing, still remains the same. How will drivers survive. Alot of them are living hand to mouth. No financial progress year in year out dem dey where dem dey.

What people are failling ro realize is that this side hustle would not make you rich or be able to buy an house, it would be able to buy you beer, pay dstv subscription and child's school fee, for other pertinent issues like rent and getting married, this hustle is not for that.

If you want to buy land or build house, this is not where you can make that type of money.

Anyone saying this business is not sustainable, it doesn't make sense, this is something you do for spare change and you shouldn't even be thinking you want to re-coup the money you used in buying the car, if you get the money fine, if you don't keep it moving.

Barbiturate:


This is just the gospel truth. I so much like your submission. Thank you sir.

Any driver now who claims he/she is enjoying Bolt's fare is a big liar.

Bolt is just too cheap for my liking and their charges on drivers are high.

If you can save 5, 6, 7m doing this uber job? Why on earth can't you use such money to better things around you.

eyinola:
and they can increase commission, very unreasonable

Barbiturate:


Since I've been doing this hustle, I've not been able to save 500k.

Last week I spent almost 50k fixing one thing or the other, in my car

16inchdick:
Good evening guys I dropped a comment last week about selling my land worth #20Million then getting to have a fleet of cars some people advised that I shouldn't instead na to japa. My plans has always been to japa sha right now what I want to do is buy a tokunbo matrix say 2.5M-3M then test the waters. I have some problems I no sabi drive so I want to go to driving school to learn hopefully within a Month and I no Even to sabi Lagos roads with google map how the business now comrades I just want something that would keep me busy cos visa processing for the countries I wan japa to go be from next year

Treaster:


If I had 15m the last thing to cross my mind will be to leave this country.

Firstly you could build from scratch to finish a 10* standard room and palour self contain property with 12 to 15m.

When fully occupied Will give you at the very least 840k to 1.1m per annum.
With the way prices of commodities are skyrocketing you're sure to have an increase in rentals in a few years.

You'll have recouped all your capital in let say 10 years and still have your structure.

Now you still have about 5 to 7m. Get a decent car and register on bolt this should be around 2.5m, you can probably set a target of 50k weekly while you look out for other opportunities which will surely arise.

My 2 cents.

If u like no get side hustle..learn from felicity01

Pearl1910:
Guys don't run any traffic light with a camera whether it's 11pm or 3am no matter what. With the new policy of Road worthiness renewal, apart from the stress of waiting and real inspection of the vehicle functions, computers are checked for traffic light violations and all fines are paid before Documents are Issued.
20k for traffic light violation. Imagine running traffic light once a week for the past 1yr
Be careful out there.

What is affecting most us here especially those of us that are saying bolt/Uber are not sustainable is because we lack contentment. If you think bolt/Uber charges more they cheating you quit and use your car for Taxi because those people doing Taxi don't have two heads and those people are even doing better. If you are a graduate I don't expect you to think like the regular bus driver that knows that he will make money the next day and doesn't rely on savings if you earn daily you should save daily because you are spending daily..... If you are earning millions in your previous job and you find yourself here, drop the mentality and get dirty all this excuses won't hold waters when it's time to pay bills all in all some people are not meant for this job find your place and drive that passion to logical point.... I come in peace ✌️
