Did you just call me werey?


You're so petty...

how much is 7litre, 7litre is 7k o, and going to osapa, I turned it offline and the fare was 13400, and coming back which was late hour, I accepted 8400 from Cadogan estate to Allen, and I allegedly said 7litre of fuel was used from alagbole to osapa and coming back was when my light came on which means the whole 7litre didn't cover that to and fro.

But the to and fro gave me gross of 21800, how many times are we going to get 7litres from 22litres, that would be 3.1times, then let's assume I was even able to use 7litres to cover alagbole to osapa and osapa to Allen and which gives me 21800 in total.

How much will I get if I use 22litres for that same trip, I will get 68514. And mind you, the 7litre finished while on the way to Allen.


I would have resulted to insult you back for calling me werey but I won't be that petty, all I know is, it's not possible to gross 80k now with just 20k fuel.

I've engaged alot of drivers that are close to me on how it's possible to get that now and all of them said with 20k fuel, highest they get is 40k to 45k on the app and alot of drivers here are saying they don't see that with 20k fuel and how come yours is different, you know better than everyone?



Does this gross include fuel and commission?

Some jobs are like that, you just have to define yourself at some point in time. Next time don’t wait for the boy to ask for such, do em that favor by cancelling the moment he came out and start acting rude.

Same way someone will call customer care service and start placing curse on them or enter bank and start shouting at the teller folks. You meet different people everyday, obviously everyone is not normal.

I didn't open the boot. I just ignored, then I had to wait for another 5 mins before we proceeded. I don't like drama!
If I had asked for money for the wasted time and he refuses, na quarrel....more time wasted! If I cancel, I've wasted that time for nothing and indrive will remove their commission, then I'll have to wait for some days to be refunded

some times, when I order a ride on indrive and see the way some drivers "worship me" before and during the trip. I understand the entitlement mentality and big Manism of some riders towards drivers. As a driver you don't have to be rude, but be firm and know how to command respect.

While on the way they made some stops, immediately I clear the guy say na indrive trip and I don't entertain stops but he said make I no worry dem go sort me so i chill and when I arrived at the final destination they said I should take them back to where I picked them.

However, if the ehailing coys wants to continue with their present pricing template then maybe they should create a category for riders to choose from

A: Cars without AC, Bluetooth, no preference to dents whose duty is just to move from point a to b for these current prices. There will be no complain everybody is happy
B: Cars that properly fit into the ehailing concept AC, Bluetooth and neat, option for number of riders or riders with loads with commensurate prices

In these cases, riders can now pay for what they get
Remember ehailing is supposed to be a luxury service.

I love this thought and proposition. Weldone!

To an extent you are right.
But I rather be a cowbell that sells cheap small small sizes but has large turnover and makes millions daily than be a peak milk that is expensive and has limited customers who only patronize them ones in a while.
This links back to our previous argument, we all observed that when the price was increased, patronage reduced. So what do u think will happen if the price is set at that luxurious amount u are expecting? U will buy fuel and put and be set to work but u will not see the trip. Do u really think there are no alternatives to ehailing?

Funny but apt analogy. However, in this e-hailing business, you are better off being a Peak milk o...the reason is because there are higher administrative costs when you do many trips like the Cowbell... cheesy...which will end up with you just breaking even or even not able to recoup your costs. These administrative costs include the cost of your fuel and time when you drive to pick up, the airtime/data you use for the calls when driving to pickup and the several unique uncertainties that each single ride brings.

Be a Peak milk, my oga... cheesy

Pearl, I have told you severally that, transportation is crucial and important in the society, if price is increased today, people will still patronize, I understand their will be dip but as time goes on, people will adjust back and get used to it.

Inflation is rising everyday, CBN just increased interest rate today again and banks are adjusting, people will eventually adjust.

Car parts is going up and car accessories is going up and you want bolt fare to remain the same, be like say you no wan get small change for your old age, do you want to work till you cross 50years old?...


If you're not making enough now for you to have little to save for future, when will you be able to?


If bolt increases fare by 20% to 30% and other apps does the same thing, trust me, riders will adjust..

Fuel price went up from 185 to 920 in space of 1 year, does it stop fuel from selling, people still queue to buy despite that much increment so, definitely, people will adjust to new price if they increase it as well...

What a brutal comrade you are!... cheesy...but I agree with your points.

U are drawing impossible assumptions.
Until u have agreed that increased price means low number of trips, then u will not see the implication.
Bolt income is fixed at 25% of X
If X used to be N100m daily before, now it's down to N40m. X has also reduced
This definitely means Bolt income has dropped.
You as a driver if currently u are grossing N80k daily and ur profit is 40k after deducting fuel 20k and commission 20k. And u say this 40k is not enough, bolt should increase price, now Bolt increases the fare and u can only Gross 50k with 10k fuel and 12k commission. Now your take home is less than 30k. Pls which do u prefer?

Interesting conversations that I am trying to catch up on. Regarding the emboldened; if Bolt's revenue drops due to them increasing prices, and his take-home drops to less than 30k, then it means he is doing lesser trips, reducing the wear and tear of his vehicle, which is still a win for him as he gets to spend less on vehicle maintenance.

From my understanding, the more trips you do, the more revenue these e-hailing guys make, with the drivers feeling the brunt through increased cost of operations. That is why, these e-hailing guys will remain reluctant to increase prices in line with economic realities.

I totally agree with, in many cases, police will leave you once they know you're an Uber driver, there was a day I took some guys, immediately we got to the street they were going, we met police in that street, I guess they came to arrest or something. Immediately they saw the guys in my car, they stopped me and searched those guys and they saw loud with them, they took them into their car and asked me how much is my money, I ended it and they paid me themselves.

I just drove away, but that my guy case, it would have been different if those guys didn't run away and I guess it was an English gun they found on them and they detained my guy as a suspect.

The prayer is not to carry someone that will implicate us.

Hahahahah...this one off me. They will definitely collect that money X10 from those guys

Forget the app companies.
For me, it's my daily take home that matters.
Your cost of living should drive u. Wear and tear will still catch up with u even if u are doing fewer trips and making 20k daily.
So if the 30k is okay for u, then all fine and good. Alot of people work from 7am to 4pm make 20k prpfit and they head home.
But for me, I will not close at 30k when I know I can get 50k before the day is over.
I am prepared to get the wear and tear and cover the cost with my extra income rather than get the wear and tear eventually 6 months later and can't cover the cost because I was contented with meagre income due to fewer trips.

Now most people are just greedy, they want to work less and make more. They are angry the app companies are taking a commission. The bane of development is when u continuously keep ur eyes on another man's money instead of concentrating on your own. Anytime u want to strike a deal or negotiate an offer, concentrate on what comes to u, never think of what the other person is getting.
That's why I will always choose Bolt over Indrive, because even with the lesser commission, it can't give me as much earnings.

Kaymaxi2222:
baba it be like say I go need personal couching from you oo 50k daily at the present situation of things.....abeg come tutor me.

Nothing special to be honest... I have been singing it here for many years.
1. U have to be prepared to work hard, start early and close late.
2. Avoid traffic as much as u can. Traffic is a time waster. Medium trips in the morning and evening within VI, Lekki Phase 1, Ikeja, Yaba etc rather than enter long trip and meet traffic.
In the evening rush hour, I would rather do VI to Yaba and back to VI/Lekki. Or VI to Phase 1 and back to VI, than enter 2hrs traffic on Vi to Ogba or VI to Ajah.
Although traffic is not much again now, so u can always check ur gmap before u decide whether to take the trip or not.
3. Except it's a very long surge and juicy trip, Don't take trip to where u will not easily get a trip back from. I will rather do 3, N2,000 trips each within VI than do VI to Sangotedo or VI to Satellite town for 10k. Sometimes back to back short short trips pay more than long trip that's is not back to back.
4. Master residential and commercial area dynamics very well to know how to position yourself and were to accept trips to per time.
5. Target long trips when u r against traffic.
6. Avoid corner corner roads like Ejigbo, Alimosho, Agege axis. U will spend time on the trip but cover shorter distance.
7. Balance your time, and your fuel consumption to maximize profits. If u stay too long and u aren't getting a good trip, Instead of driving empty to reposition yourself, u can take a "silly" trip which can cover your fuel cost. E.g u have stayed in GRA for too long and u begin to think of repositioning, u can accept a trip from Isaac John to opebi or allen. Just so your time wasted is not completely invain. Some people will rather drive empty than pick a short trip. That mindset has to change in this era of expensive fuel.
8. Never do big boy for bonus, if u can chop it, then gladly go for it. U know how difficult it is to make 10k so if u see 10k or 5k bonus, don't joke with it.
9. Don't be distracted when u see trip to Christ embassy/Redeem camp, Ota, Ibeju or Agbara for big money. U may end up regretting taking the trip as d energy, fuel and time u will waste to get back to civilization will not b worth the fare trip. Although, sometimes u can be lucky to get a return trip back to town from outskirts.
10. Don't overspeed, don't accelerate sharply, drive carefully and gently, I don't exceed 80km/hr even on third mainland bridge on a Sunday morning. If u drive speed, u waste more fuel and arrive earlier, double loss to you.
11. Stick to the "L" shaped trunk of Lagos metropolis. From Berger to Chevron. U can cherry pick other destinations occasionally especially public holidays or weekends.
12. All these points can be very subjective to particular timing and circumstances, it can also be a function of luck and God's grace.

Typically, most people learn from personal experience so someone will still read this and take a trip to Igboelerin, then come to d thread and lament "I have been here since 2hrs, I no see trip, is there something wrong with my app, what can I do to get out of here?"
