Na because some of those riders sabi tap price. Normal-normal, 1hr trip no suppuse dey less than 11k. Fuel is now almost 1k everywhere.
If anyone picks trip of 1hr for 8k, then he's not making the deserved profit on that (excluding Suzuki miscreants). cheesy
8k should be perfect for rides 45mins and less.
This indrive has not done the needful yet.
They are still tossing us around.

Much respect, boss.

You're right but since this recent fuel increament, I've not seen an hour on indrive for 11k. It's usually one hour, twenty something minutes, and you can't even try to bid above it cos the riders won't pick. Riders on indrive are too cheap. They don't mind to wait for 30 mins or more. Indrive isn't even helping matters. They make them reduce the price so badly. I tried ordering from Sabo to Abijo GRA and I saw 14200, but I was able to reduce to 12k or so and it was about 1hr 30 mins......it could be more with more traffic! I'm just being truthful with what's happening now.

Though I still had fuel to meet my target today but I didn't meet it cos I couldn't pick the prices and drivers were picking it anyhow. Infact before you say jack, they've picked it. I waited for long, then I had to pick one going to ogba side, from VI for 11k......1 hr, 22 mins. I'm sure he picked me cos I was 4 mins away. If I had increased it even a bit, he would have picked someone who is 12 mins away and who picked his bidded price. I even spent far more than the time to get to destination.

The duration is estimated, it's not set in stone; you can pick a 1hr 22min trip and end up spending 30 minutes. There's an element of chance embedded in there and that's what those dudes picking such trips are using to make money.

A 1hr 22min trip and end up spending 30mins?

Is this an exaggeration or you are just playing.

Na lie oo. 1hr plus can't be 30mins but I get ur drift and besides 90percent or more the estimated time becomes the actual time when consummated.

From my driving experience in Lagos. The estimated time is always accurate. If there's no standstill traffic. You will definitely arrive at the estimated time.

If the traffic is heavy, the arrival time will increase. But I have NEVER seen it reduced by 30mins as he said above.

Sundays for example, the estimated time is 100% accurate because roads are very free.

Most of them are the one agitating for drivers association so they can exploit ehailing drivera while they seat in offices and drivers driving around like headless chicken. They always have alterior motives despite the claim of fighting for drivers benefits from the ehailing apps. Imagine few of them at the helm of the affairs. Already claiming parking zones angry.

Ooh, they are the ones?
No wonder, if you see the way one of them was commanding like a leader, honestly, if not for a fact it was late in the night, I would have seriously dragged it with them and make it known to them that they are stupid and foolish.

Although, alternative routes can reduce the estimated time, but from 1hour 22mins to 30mins is impossible..

The idea is not for you to like.

You are looking for how to break even and make returns on your investment.

Do your research. If it is profitable, enter it. You don't have to like it.

I made good money this year from selling Home furnitures, and i don't even like the business
