If bolt doesnt add a cancellation fee anytime soon, then drivers will constantly start cursing out these fake requests that come and you call they tell you where they are, you get there they dont pick up the phone again. No courtesy whatsoever. Bolt has already been able to take alot of uber customers because they dont have a cancellation fee which makes no sense.

shollywendy1:

It seems bolt has permanently assigned u with apapa riders. Thou shall not cancel

GAZZUZZ:


I wish I could buy them umbrellas and comfortable seats. Do you know those guy's are all unarmed. Seems more like punishment Than work.

deedee44:

When we had taxify and lite, riders went for lite because they had a choice. They were asked to pay more for the same comfort in the same car (Corolla/camry 03 and 05 don't differ much). If there was no lite option believe me there will be requests as usual on taxify. Before the era of ehailing, yellow cabs were charging exorbitantly and they were cashing out daily.

Hello house.. I am an inspiring uber driver... I plan to get a NIGERIAN USED 2008 camry for e-hailing... My budget for the car isn't more than #1m...elders in the house... Is it a good idea??

okorotalkative:
pope191 abeg who those police offend? That kain move fit tamper with person sanity aswear.

pope191:

they always remind me of my days in Lebanon company ard 2007, dia is a machine called bailing machine use for compression. Anytime my boss station me at that machine is always a off day for me, I'll b the only one there from 7 30am to 6pm, 30 mins break and those Lebanon must not see you talk to anyone or use ear piece, as a non-staff, my chance of not stationing dia is slim, did dat for a year plus until one certain day, I got to work and my boss stationed me dia instead of my senior. I didn't even bother, I just went straight to d locker and park my belongings... The white man scream "Come back here or u r fired", I smile Oga! Me I don fire myself, no stress urself.

Note: in Lebanese company deh don't fire, highest is query. They will use you till you get tired, break ur back or completely useless one soul by making sure your container(body) is empty before finding way to retrench or give you sentforth of 1 million after 25 years.

Felicity0001:

But one thing I c about this taxify policy on zero charges on cancellation is that, ita their strong strategy to grab d market and thats d reason they have lots of riders they understand the market very well. So i dont see them scrabbing it not now not in the nearest future. But they only thing is they should look for a balance for drivers as well because it doeant make any sense after driving for a long distance inly for rider to cancel on u. Its totally wrong

peeps4u:


I think u can do the registraton online, though I did mine there, and rhen proceed for training.

Their office is at Maryland mall. You can get maryland buses at ikeja under bridge.

Parlee:
The driver before me took this guy to ayobo or so and the trip ended at 5500 until now the driver hasnt received that alert. I then got his request at ikeja under bridge to shrine, took him and his drug head friend there in fact both of em drug ass whimps. Got to shrine started wasting my time with nonsense stories about how he forgot his modem at his mums place, he called his mum on my phone big mistake, he also called the earlier driver on my phone about his modem and too bad for him he left it in the drivers car, another mistake. Oya pay me na trip was 700 bolt gave a 200 discount, give me 5h make I de go na he say he wants to do a transfer of 1k so I will give him 5h so he can have change on him (no big deal, done it w couple times for some riders) oya do it na, baba showed me alert they deducted 1010 naira. Mind you all this happened sharply ooo. I left and got home n didnt see 1k alert. My mind started telling me it's a fake alert, I decided to call the earlier driver since he called the dude on my phone, baba say him never see alert yet and him mind don already de tell am say na fake alert the boy show am.

Say the time wey the boy use my phone call am say make him come meet am for shrine return the modem say him just reason am say him go rather go drop the modem for bolt office so that if he receive him alert the boy go go collect am for there.

The guy called me like 30 mins later saying omo be like say na fake alert that boy do for am oo cos him don check him bank app him never still see the money. Chaii na him I weak finish.

I eventually got the boys number from the other driver cos the number he has on the app is off, same with the number he called me on when he booked. Called him, he de talk nonsense, say if I get any complaint say na bolt I suppose direct am to. I Come tell am say na ordinary 1k na say bro if you needed help that bad all you needed to do was talk to me as a man and if I want to help I will.

Funny cruise but na the first driver wey Carry am I pity pass wasted fuel n time. Cant trust none of these riders no more oo no matter how good looking they are, and I used to be so cautious ehh.

Now I'm thinking of texting his mum and telling about her sons escapades. Dont need the bread again sef but just so she can be aware of what her son is up to, Make he no go red for the guy one day she go surprise.

deedee44:

Well.. I prefer doing just 3 trips in a day and make around 10k to doing 10 trips to make roughly the same amount.
My point. Plenty riders + low fare doesn't significantly increase your PROFIT, it only increases your stress level and car maintenance costs. My opinion

tunlapapa:


What you fancy about them is also affecting you.

You drive to pickup and the rider doesn't pick his call, who gets affected?

You take trips with network error, who gets affected?

Riders rate you anyhow and their system also drops your rating due to harsh conditions, who gets affected?

Riders end up not paying you affect a trip, who gets affected?

In the long run, they favour the rider more which is not right.
In summary, drivers are just being used to achieve their business goals while they sit in their office telling you to let's move Lagos. Why don't they enter the streets with us and lets move it together.

This is also very funny to me as the bolt company is just a dubious one.
Riders claim that bolt is cheaper ( always due to their app errors), drivers claim it pays them more, meaning the fare is higher when compared to others.
The riders paying the money feel that it's cheaper using bolt are gained at drivers' expense due to app errors and their zero cancellation charge etc.


The drivers are at the Expendables while BOLT (thief, dubious, cunning etc) are at the winning end.

Babadee1900:
I pity the driver that will accept to go.

Felicity0001:

In fact enh its so annoy.

5min back one just happened. I was inside Omole phase 1 behind the Catholic church and got a req.

deedee44:

They're still better than ocar, how can rider cancel request after I got to pick up location and you tell me I've been given cancellation fee of N20. I was like WTF will I do with that

shollywendy1:

It is very simple. Accept, dont reject it.
All u need to do is to warn them about the trafic situation before starting d trip.
You cant afford to spend the whole day in d trafic. As a result, you can suggest where u feel it convenient for u and the rider. I mean where he can complete the trip with bike, then u make a u-turn. We usually end the trip at ijora then complete the trip with bike if there is trafic.
I dont reject apapa trip

donfortune48:


I once got a request on awolowo road ikoyi around 6:30pm.
Called rider to confirm his location then his destination.

Me: Greetings, this is Bolt.

Rider: okay. Can you locate us?

Me: Us?

R: eemm yes.

Me: how many are you please?

R: 4.

Me: (already laughing deeply inside) how many men & women?

R: just 4 guys.

Me: okay. Please where are we going to?

R: come first. You've not gotten to where we are and you're already asking for destination.

Me: I'm sorry about that bro, but please, can you tell me?

R: Sango.

Me: (shocked) which of the Sango?

R: Ota.

Me: hahahahhahhahahahahahahaahahhahahahahaahhaahahahahahahahah

R: you dey craze.

Me: I'm aware of that bro. Take care.

Babadee1900:
Bros leave the matter. Anything that has to do with Apapa is a no go area for me. Ijora, Costain etc.

I once spent 3hours at a spot on Ijora bridge, last last na reverse everybody take comot that day.

shollywendy1:

The trafic on that side can be very funny atimes sha. But have never been a victim of apapa gridlock. Maybe thats the reason bolt permanently assigned u wit apapa riders. Hahaha

So ope tie

I remember the day i started around 4:30am. First rider was Apapa. Got there past 6 am. Started jumping from one lane to another. You join a road and find out its blocked. You immediately reverse before a trailer blocks you. I finally got out around 9:30.

Decided to pass Ijora-Iddo to Ebute metta. Na so council block me for Iddo say i change lane. I kuku thank God for AC and Central lock.

Them free me, i just go house go sleep.

GAZZUZZ:


I wish I could buy them umbrellas and comfortable seats. Do you know those guy's are all unarmed. Seems more like punishment Than work.

Bro, Plesse abeg clap for yourself. You sabi exactly the gimmicks wey BOLT de play, Riders are favoured way more than drivers, Them de exploit cheap labour for their own personal gain. Riders on Bolt feel it's cheaper while drivers feel it pays more but for uber drivers feel it's way too cheap while the riders feel it's more expensive.

Baba these companies are only exploiting cheap labour walahi talai, When I see my guy Uber app when he come back from yankee I wan cry. I immediately knew we are been used out this zones fam, these companies need to either do better or leave. No let anybody deceive you for this THREAD, there is no driver that isn't struggling, struggling to meet up. Only a disciplined driver can always and I mean always pay their partner on a regular whether na rent abi HP unless the drivers wey own their own car. These companies are exploiting drivers plain and simple
