So after Uber registration completions and I have started working, will also join bolt for more clients, plssssssssss I need someone to guide me, I don't want to make mistakes? undecided


There's no way you'll not make mistakes. It is inevitable but you should learn from it.
I started work on bolt yesterday, did 4 trips and my fuel went AWOL, the situation sent a shiver down to my spine, fast forward to this morning, someone on my street requested for an offline trip from Maryland to Mile2, he guided me through the journey but immediately i dropped him off, trying to navigate my way through Anthony, 2 armed policemen and Agbero stopped me.
Long story short, they collected 3500 from me, I wept on my way home but i spoke to some elders here who told me to chin up.
I did as they instructed, so i started learning how to use the map which i have not mastered yet because I almost lost my way trying to navigate through Ikeja bridge to Maryland, i had to drive through the express to 7up and right there i got a trip to New Horizon 2 ikate.
3 riders don cancel on me already self because their address no dey for map and the people I've been asking said they don't know the street.

If you ask Dru23 or tojahh, they'll tell you why a civic is a great car, and why you should use it

I have driven a corolla, an elantra and a Camry on ehailing and I'm yet to see the peace of mind a corolla gives, that others haven't given me. I only wanted to learn, but then, the bolded seems to be your only reason for saying that....

I'll just search for my findings then grin


I hate Corolla with almost passion.. Over hype cars ..good cars no doubt, but over hype... but civic 03 to 05 na die for o ..only issue with civics at times is the transmission. I had to change the transmission one of mine .. Total cost plus labour is 120k and guess what? Have made that money back .....

Omo the car was nice and clean ..I will choose that Elantra over the same year of a Corolla . It was neat bro ...I said under my breath that Koreans are trying..... My point is there are other options out there apart from Corolla

The hype on the car is too much. Yes the car is okay, but there's nothing it gives that others won't

I'll still repeat it: Anyone hyping a corolla is doing so because he hasn't driven others. If you drive others, you'll know there's nothing spectacular about it.

Proceed to uber website or Bolt website. Nothing is difficult there, now now now now you don run am finish then go for uber training same next week. Dazal

Meanwhile is the car already registered on ehailing platforms?

No, infact i was working with a building construction company at ikoyi as a logistics officer before i left this January back-to ijebu due to their inability to pay the meagre salary(#50k) we get every month, sometime they owe us to the tune of 4months and when I couldn't cope anymore, i threw in the towel, but my movement then revolved around the island, though i didn't grasp most street names .
Maryland to ikoyi (through Onipanu-Fadeyi -Yaba -costain -marina -obalende). Most times it was BRT.

1. Install the software on the Cd to your laptop and connect via Bluetooth

OR

2. Download any elm compatible Android software, there are several of them online and Google play store, connect the device to your vehicle obd, turn on your phone Bluetooth, connect to it then run the application. It can only scan basic engine generic codes tho.

Got it figured out. I downloaded the app called "Torque" and it worked with my phone's Bluetooth when I connected the Obd2 to my car.
