Talking about CNG I thought people at a point started using it for their generator set?
What happened to the noise and hype that a lot of people were seriously and massively importing the noozles, it was flooded everywhere like every corner of the country.
Why did the campaign stopped especially now that fuel price is skyrocketing?
Abi na me no dey observant?
Are people still using them?
If it worked and paid those who converted their generator set I believe a lot of people won't need all these preaching to know they should switch.

Kaymaxi2222:
the one they were converting those gen to na lng not cng na why and na lng we dey use cook food and it don go up too

izzou:


LPG, rather

SHOOPSYN:
@Glithronix, what are you guys up to! I can't go online on indriver except I allow them use my location "all the time" instead of "when using the app". Why will indriver want to have my location"all the time". I just feel is not right.

Glithronix:

Boss, I have seen this on my app now, and that's a total crap.
Why would they want to have access to my location on & offline the app?
That's stalking, mehn!
What stoopid measure is that?!
Well, after closing, I turn off my location.
With that, I don't think they should have access to where I am.
These people are going beyond normal business for wanting to know where I am even without being online.
Dem dey craze.

Much respect, baba.

You rookies are getting it wrong!

Bonus given to riders doesn't affect you. You get your full money from Bolt because bolt will balance you whatever was given to the rider.

Go to the details to confirm this.

And I see no reasons for being abusive when someone doesn't support your opinion .

Welz:

As someone said, many drivers feed from hand to mouth, (no work no chop). I have done just 3 trips this week and they were all destination trips. My advice to anyone that cares to listen now will be to start looking for something else to do. Driving with the current price of fuel and cost of car maintenance with the current fares is not it at all.
Also, I just spent 150k on AC

laptopsforsale:


I don't want to believe some drivers are living from hand to mouth, hence their accepting just any trips as two people have opined so far. Driving hustle is one that the cost of inputs (particularly fuel) will hit you within a short while, so if you are not operating profitably, the reality will hit you within 48hours max when you need to refill your tank, as you will wonder where all your money went.

While factors like road familiarity, proximity to residence or other desired locations can make some drivers accept certain trips with seeming ridiculous amount, I do believe that most of such drivers have gained some efficiency as regards "source of power" for their cars

I personally see this whole fuel chaos and crisis as a blessing in disguise, because it will ultimately lead to people seeking independence from fuel as fuel is not only so expensive, it is also extremely difficult to buy. We are already seeing a significant a massive adoption of solar energy in households, offices and industries.

While we wait for solar or electric-powered vehicles to become mainstream in Nigeria, a quick way to reduce your reliance on fuel and gain some efficiency as a driver is through the adoption of CNG in the mid-term.

I know this is a touchy subject as some of us have valid reasons against CNG, but I cannot see any other alternative that brings cost-savings even in the short term for drivers that are always on the road, and I think e-hailing drivers and companies should be on the forefront of this CNG adoption because there is a limit to how high prices can be increased to.

On one of my visits to NIPCO CNG Station at MFM to make enquiries early this year, I met 2 e-hailing drivers and I was shocked at the savings they reported when they compared operational cost of fuel and CNG even as at then. I can only imagine what those cost-savings will be now that fuel price is on steroid. Infact, one of them stays at Ajah, but he has structured his schedule to get a trip that will bring him to MFM axis so that he can refuel before going home for the day.

Let us work towards de-coupling ourselves from fuel as much as possible. It is a curse and a tool with which a few elite have held us hostage for decades. I hope we see several NGOs and Non-profits springing up to drive this, because it is a just cause.

#DecoupleFromFuel

Glithronix:

Funny enough, majority of those riders know what's up.
Since the change in fuel price, I don't pick rides, I bid higher and they mostly accept.
Today alone, the extra tips I got from them covered my meal for the day, 3k.
These people been tipping extra like say dem plan am this week.
But I dey compare Bolt and indrive for same ride - indrive dey high pass bolt in SOME areas and vice versa.
Well, fuel don increase, rides must increase, too. No time.

Much respect, boss.

You were already abusive by calling me a rookie which is dumb of you as I am obligated to air my complains after driving on the app for three years now. If bolt wants to award bonuses it should be subtracted from their commission instead while I get the full payment as the payment is even not enough. Imagine driving for an hour after showing 7k+ on the app I'm getting 6300 as the final fare which normally the 7k fare isn't even enough. Why can't I get the full payment from the rider while the commission on the trip is deducted without affecting the initial fare

Pearl1910:


If u say u have driven for upto 3years and you are still complaining about rider discounts eating into your earnings, then ur level of comprehension is quit low. U would have just jejely accepted ur rookie tag than show everyone ur level of IQ.
If u do a 10k trip and u are asked to collect 5k, the balance N2,500 will be paid to u by Bolt, same way they pay u your money if u do a card trip. Don't forget your money in a 10k is approximately N7,500 and bolt takes N2,500. So if they are asking u to collect N6,300 and u are crying for your balance of N700, have u forgotten u owe Bolt even more than N700 in commission after doing a trip of 7k? The lesser rider discounts you have, the more frequently u will have to pay money into Bolt bank account to reduce your negative balance for their commission. Are u one of those guys who will never do a card trip because u think u have driven for free?
Don't worry about Bolt discount to riders, what you should worry about is either Bolt reduces their commission or increases the fares. That's what puts more money in your pocket.

That was LPG (Cooking Gas), not CNG.

That one was okay, until the government stopped the tax waiver.

Na price make people abandon am

Kaymaxi2222:
the guy is actually correct to some extent and there is no reason abusing him abeg.......if your passenger gets discount I have calculated it and sometimes it eats into your earnings

Hope you have money for a new Engine after converting to CNG.

That's not possible

Kaymaxi2222:
so it happened bro......you know if you are using bolt very well at some point there commission reduces to something around 20% per trip but if in-between that you get any requests where by the rider was given a discount they will remove there full 25% when you do the calculation....which is why I said the guy is right to some extent

Pearl1910:


If u have proof that some trips are charged 20% commission sometimes and some other times it's 25%, I will give u 50k.

Barbiturate:


Be calming down bros. If the money too much, abeg send am my side 😊

I used bolt today and also used indrive. Even though the price isn't at par with the current fuel price, I like the fact that you don't have to owe them(bolt) any more. They just deduct it with the bonus and then at the end, dem go dey owe you. To pay on Mondays

pope191:


Few, not all. Some will leave the price to the barest because they know one driver will eventually pick it. To some drivers it’s about more trips, more money, but how about breaking even? Car maintenance as well?

Well I think we don’t have enough riders right now. Every where seem boring with Baba’s midas touch. I just open the app to even see what the price looks like on a normal Monday morning rush and it’s not enticing atall.

We aren't talking about price, we are talking about Bolt taking ur money after asking u to collect discounted amount from Rider.
Now he is saying sometimes bolt charges 20% and some other time's bolt charges 25% commission. I know that's impossible and he definitely can't provide evidence of his claim. If I wan dash person money I no go say make him do d impossible na.
By the way, Hope u know u can cash out your money anytime from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday. U don't have to wait till Monday next week.
