whats wrong with bolt app

What's happening since after presidential election, indrive fare has been so ridiculous while you hardly get requests on bolt...



The hustle is now so frustrating and tiring...

my uber app was on for 6 hours today and no single trip came in.

Good evening to my OGAs here o. Hope hustle has been going well.

Omo been long I work o, I said I should try again this week and could not pick any trip on Indrive due to their new price and numbers of driver.

This days you can't select high price and get picked again because there will always be a driver that will select the lowest price.

Bolt self is not helping matter, I was online for hours I didn't see trip till I got tired and turned off the app.

Is it that driver accept price and negotiate with rider later on indrive? Abeg Indrive expert make una help me o

No money bro! People don't have access to cash and transfer not going well! Even market men and women are facing serious hard time. Their goods are getting spoilt cos no one is buying them.....no cash! People are frustrated! Companies are owing salaries of their workers. Nothing is working! My elder sis who works in a bank hasn't been paid since last month. Banks are not receiving cash any more. Everybody's collecting the little they have and Banks are not paying them enough! My neighbour came back home frustrated, shouting that he has enough money in his Zenith bank acct, but they won't give him any and their app not going.

Guys should device another means of making money now! It's tough out there. This Govt is heartless and wicked. Check the attached and check the replies on twitter. I stopped working cos about 3 persons owed me for about 3/4 days, for transfer they did and I didn't get. Infact I've not gotten one till today.

It not just about cash not being available. A lot of people are home. Some of my neighbours (men) have been home since the election

Those on HP

God is your strength.

That means extra time on the road.


Indrive is the battle for the fittest. Na only old customers dey pick negotiatations.

You see them new biz. Most na cheapest they are looking for ni.

In picking trips. Just calculate fast. Let go of 200. It won't kill you but has a positive effect.

Always pick trips to trips

E.G
You are in ikeja. Na any how trips you will pick. You go out of lest say ojokoro. Na still anyhow trip you go pick expeically when you are ikeja.

😆

If na 10k you carry go house. You don try.
Friday. I bought 7k fuel and made 29k Na still fastest pick ooo.

You will see 100m and you will pick the price and they won't still pick you!

Good morning riders.
This week i will be travelling to Abuja to venture into this bolt business. I own a Honda civic 2008 model with all particulars intact. The only issue is that i am not conversant with Abuja roads and how they operate the bolt over there too.
Please i need advices on the do's and don't, daily expected income after commissions and fuel money etc.
Thanks.

I'm thinking of doing this as well, I'm tired of driving in Lagos but I think map is there to guide someone through the routes

Yes that map will guide.

Everything worsened immediately after election.
My daily target that I used to make with ease had become tough with more time to be spent.
This last Friday, I set out at 8am (which I don't normally do), I entered house few minutes past 12midnight to make 30k.
I was at VI at 10pm yesterday, come see as everywhere silent and dry like say people have deserted the area.
Yesterday wey be Saturday that normally, events go dey bubb, e dry.
Come see the kind orders I was seeing yesterday, mostly going to Alasia/Ojo and its environs, I was like wetin dem dey do for those areas? The price of them self go piss you off.
Drivers go pick those annoying fares cos everybody is aware things are tough now and they would want to make some money riskying it by all means.
I could only make 28k yesterday wey be Saturday, omoh, I just vexed go house at past 11pm.
People have money but they can't spend it. They can't flex it. They can't move around.
All thanks to CBN and FG. Nonsense people.
I have 2 riders I'm yet to receive 4.5k & 5.2k respectively.
They've been debited and I have their receipts, but money never drop and these ones no ready to make another transfer cos they have evidences of payment.
I bought meal somewhere around ogba yesterday and did a successful transfer with my receipt and debit alert, I spent 1hr 30 mins waiting for those people to be credited cos they wouldn't lemme go. Na that situation affected my sales yesterday. Omoh, I no fit cry.
This country is in a deep mess.
Everybody's complaining.
My mumsy just set up a mini restaurant and we spent a lot to erect the business, though before election, because of this bulaba situation wey food dey waste, she's been home since last Sunday. Better than wasting food.
Make she wait till everything starts becoming normal.
As it is now, every angle of businesses is feeling the heat.
E go reach 2pm before I go out today cos I need to remit, if not, I no go work till everything becomes normal.
We are in hot pepperish soup.

Where I parked on Billings way yesterday , I was refreshing my indrive app inside car na so I saw one man approached me with a greeting, he introduced himself and we started chatting, baba said he's been online (bolt) for over 3 hours no order came in. though I found that hard to believe. Bolt of all companies!
He saw me refreshing indrive and he said I should put him through in registration. Him sharply downloaded the app. I was just laughing.
Baba, na everywhere the thing dey affect ooh.

Tough situation man. What baffles me is, why Indrive chose to do giveaway with the fares. It's so bad. And riders reduce it even further.

I had to accept one trip this morning just so I can curse the guy. App brought 4100 (still ridiculous for 37km trip. He reduced to 3500.

I use Uber more these days (thanks to maclatunji). Just that card trips are too much and you won't know until you've started the trip hence I always ask including destination.

Don't blame the riders, but the drivers... just close from church and tot of driving till 4. Every 1300 trip is gone. 1k voom, it is gone. Rider is ready to carry trip of 8km for 1k. I guess it all have to do with demand. No one will die if drivers set their priorities right. Men have to pay for rental and at the end using 9k fuel to make 20k. Rida seem to be the worst.

I think it's best to go take some rest at home, economy is not smiling.

You are right Sha. Drivers are not helping at all.

Someone wrote something on Facebook that, there are new drivers from other state that just moved to Lagos, they are used to low fares in their former state of residence so they just pick anything..Moove korope not left out.

If ehailing is the ONLY thing you are going to do in Abuja,it's a wrong move.

Welz:

Yesterday I returned home with only 2300 thanks to indrive... the trip was towards my home, I just sensed that it was best to close for the day.

For newbies and even the experienced

Avoid working odd hours. Around (4am-5am last week) Two cars were hijacked at gun point around Jakande estate,Isolo. A camry muscle and another corrolla. The corrolla has been found by police according to the victim who shared the WhatsApp audio.

Ignore any stupid Bolt driver score , if you sense
the trip is not safe especially with 2 male riders at odd hours, cancel or ignore the damn order.

stay safe,if you don't work on Bolt /Uber and no cash in your pocket ,but your life and car is safe. It's a good deal if you ask me ..

Thanks for the info.

Indrive is aware of the situation of this country and they probably brought down the fare so as to keep passengers wanting to spend and they can keep having their percentage. This is what I feel about the whole indrive low fare stuff.
And you see those passengers, if you give them a wand, they're ready to put 1k for that trip.
Can we blame them?
This shall pass sha.
By the way:
This your response to that passenger na real savage.
"Your head like come to toscana."
Na Tiwa Savage I know, you be Horgan Savage?
Much respect, boss.

I feel same, like some folks are running IT on the job. Drivers don't even give price again. Trip you will smile at the rider for wasting his or her time putting such price will just vanish within seconds.

Observing... I still feel it is because of low riders sha

Good evening my seniors. Please is the LASDRI card compulsory to register on bolt or Uber ? Thanks.

No, they are optional

Hello guys
Please is this normal

When people who has weight sit at the back of my car when I drive into a bad road my exhaust hits my car under and makes noise. I observed it one time after a mad road made my exhaust tear into 2. Panel beater fixed it and I went back to tell him to tie the exhaust very well soo it doesn’t hit the car.

This morning while on a trip, 4 teenagers were at the back and I noticed it was constantly hitting the car and it got to a point my car sound changed. When I ended the trip, I looked under my car and realized my exhausted has cut into 2 again. Good enough I called the panel beater and got it fixed. This afternoon again 2 people who had weight sat in the back and when I enter into a speed bump it still hits the car.

Please is this normal with Corrola? Or the panel beater doesn’t know what he is doing? Although my former Corolla I use to hear the sound but I didn’t use it for e hailing that’s why I didn’t notice

It's not normal. Use another panel beater, let him inspect the exhaust system. Perhaps they worked another car exhaust there or your Rear shocks are bad.

Meanwhile why did you carry 4 people? Pity your car, the fares are too low these days.

Thanks. I’m trying to locate another panel beater. This man keeps telling me he has tightened the exhaust and yet I hear the sound when back seat is occupied. I’m scared of telling mechanic because even if the rear shock absorber is good they will tell you it’s bad.

Omo last last na empty I blow reach Sangotedo from Yaba
