Nope Baba you are d one dt misconstrued d whole concept. 5% commission after no of trips. Means dy deduct only 5%.
By default app deducts 20%. So if you get to d particular threshold of trips say 40.
It opens up another column for " bonus'
So app deducts 20% but adds 15% under bonus. Just plus n minus to help account reconciliation from their end. Try to do the calculation if what they add to your earnings after meeting up is 15%... 1 Like |

5% Commission or 5% Commission bonus?
Have you observed after meeting up with the trip requirement to activate the commission, your subsequent trips gets bonus that would be added to your earnings. What does that bonus mean to you?
This people are scamming us with confused grammar.
Literally, what they mean with 5% commission bonus is, you get 5% commission on every trip fare you embark which to be added to your earnings while they remove their own normal 20% commission so meaning you are paying 15% commission on your trips after meeting up with their requirements....
If you are doubting, try to do calculations when you hit the number of trips required to activate it then note your 1st subsequent trip after meeting up and calculate 5% of that trip, you will notice its that amount that is added as bonus to your earnings and also calculate the 20% of that same trip and you will notice the 20% is what is added to their outstanding commission....
This is what I've been telling people that the 5% is a scam. All bolt do is to add 5% back to your earnings which simply means you're paying 15% but people don't know. Don't ever compare 30% of Uber with whatever % bolt displays on your app in that regards, Uber is far Better 1 Like |

Bolt driver app is working now. Guys I had this funny experience at VGC yesterday night that I think I should share. Took rider to VGC, a resident. She used her access card at gate. I dropped her at home. Mind you she didn't put the correct address, so it was the usual turn right, turn left thing that got me to her place. On getting back to gate I was asked to supply Pin before I could drive out. I know VGC requires Pin to enter but not to go out. Unfortunately for me, the rider didn't use pin to enter. Was asked to call the rider or go back to where I dropped her. Her number was switched off. I had no idea of where I dropped her. Na so local man got stuck inside VGC o. I was there for more than an hour and saw other drivers who had same issue. I had to practically appeal to some of their ogas wey dey security post before I was let out o.
Lesson: When you drive to VGC, access card or not, make sure rider get you PIN o. All da best. 7 Likes 1 Share |

yommie007: Corona virus is reducing activity in Lagos.
Started my day around 10am after the usual Thursday sanitation. The 1st trip took me to unilag. Na so the movie start ooo.... 2.3x surge around there.... and I waited patiently at fagunwa hall. Bang, a request came; 1.9x 90+ minutes destination trip. My phone rang afterwards; Me: hello Rider: where are you (me wey dey vex for that kind response overlooked because of the superior 1.9x factor) Me: fagunwa Rider: ok, I'll be with you in 2 minutes. Me rush go buy Pepsi and rite..... I look to check the countdown time..... omo I just saw RIDER CANCELED. Immediately, my phone rang, Rider: pls sorry I had to cancel because I need to wait for someone. Me: no wahala. 20 seconds later, another request came and it was same rider but with no surge this time. Rider: hello, where are you? Me: same place I told you earlier Rider: pls come pick me, I'm ready now Me: (pick kill you there, you use style avoid surge abi) where am I taking you to? Rider: giwa Me: where's that? Rider: after fagba Me: nibo, I'm not sure i want to start my day with such trip. Pls cancel and reorder. Rider: it will still bring me to you. Me: don't worry i already went offline. Na so I japa.... later got 1.7x to sabo and the rest was history........ found myself in toyin Ikeja.... the major movie show oo. A trip of 1.2x surge with a yoruba name Got to the pick up and guess what I saw...... A Chinese oooo, covered with all gadgets and having bags. For my mind i say yes I yaff enter finally. I drove close to him and i saw my details on his phone, na there i weak. The 1st thing that came thru m mind was STIGMATIZATION... had to adopt some verses from the holy book and I accepted my fate. Rider: pls can I keep my stuff at the back? Me: sure (i started trip and it was VI that i just came from to Ikeja) Rider; thanks Me: (grabbed my bottle of sanitizer) do you mind? Rider: sure Me: (you for refuse make I change am for you na)
The next thing was, the rider reduced the AC to the minimum saying his not too okay. I swear fear gripped me immediately. I switched of the radio and started monitoring every sound, especially his breathing pattern. I swear his breathing pattern was like that of an owl. He was struggling to breathe. B4 I got to ziatech road the guy held the left part of his chest. I began to pray inside me oo. The next thing I heard from him was; after drinking something from a vacuum stainless cup.. Rider: do you have bluetooth? Me: yes I do. Its x8 you can connect. To cut all the long story short, I drove on a free 3MB at 70km the max. I was cautious not to swerve the steering wheel so he wont even shift his body. His cough episodes gave me vibrations that 3310 couldn't compete with. Immediately I dropped him, omo na every 5 mins sanitizer oo. Belt and handles. The only rider I picked afterwards sat at the back and ended the day and washed the car and clean the interior.
May God bless us all. NB: if you must work, pls be mentally alert and pls be conscious and cautious abeg. The thing real oo.

If not because I'm currently not working I would have backed my claim with screenshots but you can as well do your own observation by doing the calculation. Normally if its not because bolt wants to confuse us, whats the essence of adding bonus after the threshold? Are they not supposed to just remove the 5% commission without adding any bonus again? Look in the case of uber, they giv3 you the breakdown of every trip you embark so you can understand how they do their calculations but bolt doesn't and reason why they have made that 5% commission complex because they know no1 would do the calculations... 3 Likes |

Uber temporarily axed my acct @ 13% cancelation. and they carry over ur cancelations.
Bolt, for every 40 trips you get, you are allowed to complete 18-20 trips, you are fine.
On Monday morning, you start afresh as regards cancelation issues.
Wateva suits you. Like I said. Knowing d intended destination is non negotiable for me.
As long as I can see where I'm heading to. Bolt is the king. Hmmm... Ok, I get it now. But in any case what ever rocks once boat is fine. The conclusion of the whole matter is, non of them is good over the other rather all of them are useless. Can imagine Uber laying false alligations simply because they don't want to give me the 3% incentives even after completing 20 trips. I just weak, no moral to go out now self.

Ahhh This guy, you re something else. True talk sha AngryIgboMan: Nobody should allow himself to be deceived. Uber and Bolt are not mates. Where Uber is, it will take bolt 100 years to get there. Take this from someone that was on the platform for over 4 years.
Uber and Bolt has there pros and cons but Generally, Uber is a thousand miles ahead of Bolt.
Bolt is better if you want to do what I call "rough or street work". This is so because a lot of bolt riders are very useless, untrained girls. So a lot of there drivers too are werey on there own. You change it for them, they change it for you.
Advantages On bolt is that you can cancel at will, curse riders as you wish if they curse you, See riders destination, set destination under surge, get matched to your preferred destination. Bolt also has this advantage of reabsorbing the driver into the system after ejecting you because all they care about is money. Bolt will match you to your exact destination or a related place. They have a serious advantage over Uber in this. On bolt too, you can call customer care to unblock you with a simple explanation. They will unblock you.
The downside of Bolt is Careless Miscalculations, Atines does not add the toll fares, atimes they fix price that whatever you drive is your business... Price will remain same, iddiotic frustrated riders, Very useless app that can frustrate your life, you dare not make or answer call while on a trip else everything will come out at 500, No cancellation fee even if you waited for 30 minutes and rider cancelled, Very useless customer care that will take days or weeks to reply a simple enquiry, useless surge that will never pass 2.1 at most, riders can run away with your money and thats it, riders can report you and you are yanked off the platform without any investigation. etc Funny enough, they will unblock you immediately you beg. Foolish people. It helps though when you a driver that has low tolerance for rubbish like me.
Uber is better if you want to do disciplined civil work. Uber has a lot of advantages over bolt. Where do I even start? Uber has far more disciplined riders than Bolt. This is 100% fact. On Uber, once you complete 20 trips everything will become 3%. This gives you far more money than bolt can ever give you. Uber also has good customer care that replies you in seconds or minutes, Uber will refund you if a customer really runs away with your money, uber has cancellation fee for some crazy riders that will cancel at the last minute, Uber has surge up to 6.5! This a fact. I have eaten it before. From Ikoyi to Lekki going and coming, a rider payed me over 12k in 20 minutes. This was during Christmas and road was very free oo.
Uber app is the best in the world. It is very Fluid and Stable. If you want, make call from pickup to destination... Price will still be properly calculated. Atimes Uber refunds you if Lastma or Police gives you a fine and you have receipt.
The downsides of Uber is You can't cancel anyhow, you can't see riders destination, you can't set destination under surge (I HATE UBER WITH PASSION FOR THIS), They decide when you go online or offline, They don't forgive once they yank you off the system, They are very strict too.
To cap it up Check real VI, LEKKI, IKOYI, BANANA ISLAND, VGC big men, boys and ladies. They don't use bolt. Only dirty Ejigbo, Idimu, Idi Araba, Igando and Alakija prostitutes use bolt. Also dirty, broke ill mannered lekki runs girls use bolt too.
SO WHICH ONE IS PREFERABLE FOR ME?
BOTH! Depending on the spirit inside me when I wake up. If Satan is at work, I use Bolt. It God is at work, I use Uber. If I want to make mad, untamed money and drive with hatred for black people, I use Bolt. If I want to drive with love and concern for humanity while making clean money, I use Uber.
In Nigeria, nobody is a saint. Everybody is a thief. If you use Bolt, you can make money you didnt work for. On Uber, you can barely do that. This implies that Bolt will help you survive more in a city like Lagos where the average person is a crooked criminal. Bolt is more liable to Sakamanje which means more money. Mileage editing, receipt editing, email spoofing, screenshoting of receipts is more rampant on bolt which means more money. If you try it on Uber, they are catching you that very second due to there top technology.
I remember the early days of Bolt when manipulations was far more easier. One stupid girl was running his mouth like tap water insulting me. I ignored her. I simply used my Lockito and set her pickup as Kano and Destination as Jigawa. When trip ended and I showed her receipt, she shouted Jesus!
Rider: Oga this map shows I was in Kano. When was I Kano?
Me: Nne, you were in Kano whether you like it or not and we are in Jigawa now. You must pay me oo. You are even lucky I did not take you to Japan.

Price will remain same, iddiotic frustrated riders, Very useless app that can frustrate your life, you dare not make or answer call while on a trip else everything will come out at 500, No cancellation fee even if you waited for 30 minutes and rider cancelled, Very useless customer care that will take days or weeks to reply a simple enquiry, useless surge that will never pass 2.1 at most, riders can run away with your money and thats it, riders can report you and you are yanked off the platform without any investigation. etc Funny enough, they will unblock you immediately you beg. Foolish people. It helps though when you a driver that has low tolerance for rubbish like me.
Uber is better if you want to do disciplined civil work. Uber has a lot of advantages over bolt. Where do I even start? Uber has far more disciplined riders than Bolt. This is 100% fact. On Uber, once you complete 20 trips everything will become 3%. This gives you far more money than bolt can ever give you. Uber also has good customer care that replies you in seconds or minutes, Uber will refund you if a customer really runs away with your money, uber has cancellation fee for some crazy riders that will cancel at the last minute, Uber has surge up to 6.5! This a fact. I have eaten it before. From Ikoyi to Lekki going and coming, a rider payed me over 12k in 20 minutes. This was during Christmas and road was very free oo.
Uber app is the best in the world. It is very Fluid and Stable. If you want, make call from pickup to destination... Price will still be properly calculated. Atimes Uber refunds you if Lastma or Police gives you a fine and you have receipt.
The downsides of Uber is You can't cancel anyhow, you can't see riders destination, you can't set destination under surge (I HATE UBER WITH PASSION FOR THIS), They decide when you go online or offline, They don't forgive once they yank you off the system, They are very strict too.
To cap it up Check real VI, LEKKI, IKOYI, BANANA ISLAND, VGC big men, boys and ladies. They don't use bolt. Only dirty Ejigbo, Idimu, Idi Araba, Igando and Alakija prostitutes use bolt. Also dirty, broke ill mannered lekki runs girls use bolt too.
SO WHICH ONE IS PREFERABLE FOR ME?
BOTH! Depending on the spirit inside me when I wake up. If Satan is at work, I use Bolt. It God is at work, I use Uber. If I want to make mad, untamed money and drive with hatred for black people, I use Bolt. If I want to drive with love and concern for humanity while making clean money, I use Uber.
In Nigeria, nobody is a saint. Everybody is a thief. If you use Bolt, you can make money you didnt work for. On Uber, you can barely do that. This implies that Bolt will help you survive more in a city like Lagos where the average person is a crooked criminal. Bolt is more liable to Sakamanje which means more money. Mileage editing, receipt editing, email spoofing, screenshoting of receipts is more rampant on bolt which means more money. If you try it on Uber, they are catching you that very second due to there top technology.
I remember the early days of Bolt when manipulations was far more easier. One stupid girl was running his mouth like tap water insulting me. I ignored her. I simply used my Lockito and set her pickup as Kano and Destination as Jigawa. When trip ended and I showed her receipt, she shouted Jesus!
Rider: Oga this map shows I was in Kano. When was I Kano?
Me: Nne, you were in Kano whether you like it or not and we are in Jigawa now. You must pay me oo. You are even lucky I did not take you to Japan.
Don't ask me how it finally ended. Chai... I miss Bolt of 2016. When you can take a rider from China to Gabon. I can bet my balls this guy is NwaAmaikpe �� 5 Likes |

Hmmm... Ok, I get it now.
But in any case what ever rocks once boat is fine.
The conclusion of the whole matter is, non of them is good over the other rather all of them are useless.
Can imagine Uber laying false alligations simply because they don't want to give me the 3% incentives even after completing 20 trips. I just weak, no moral to go out now self.
Honestly, I've lost trust in bolt else I would have turn on my bolt app and hit the road right away.
Still looking for a motivation. You actually sound like a baby. You talk too much as a man shiioor 9 Likes 2 Shares |

northbird:
Have you been on 5% before? It's pretty straight forward.
Take this scenario.
V. I to ikeja @ 5% Fee- ₦3,000 Bolt-₦150 Your earnings - 2850
But I said bolt app by default deducts 20%
So you have something like this
In app payment - : ₦3,000 Bonus (15%). + ₦. 450 Bolt commision - . ₦ 600
Balance. ₦2850
This does not include the bla Bla bla you received.
Hope you catch d drift
Tell me if you actually do that calculation on your trip after the threshold or you assuming the calculation based on their 5% commission claim? |

Angryiboman post should be the wall paper for this thread. Both newbies and oldies can learn a lot from his post.
I really dont see how someone who wants to achieve something in life will say Bolt is better than Uber? In what dimension are you living?
PRO TIP : when I was driving, I only use bolt trips for cash to run uber..cos I love uber card trips. It's the surest way you can see atleast 25k in your account every monday. Try that on bolt.
The kind of people you will meet on Uber you can never meet on Bolt.

I bought one one 2 5 at Bovas, but its like government declared stay at home, my worst day soh far this year. Please, is it illegal to drive with the driving permit issued by driving school. VIO impounded my vehicle because of that. Please, note that I have already paid for the driver's license and I was asked to come and do capture on Tuesday next week. Please, does anybody know any contact that can help me get my vehicle out of these guy's hand. Please, is it the work of VIO to check driver's license |

davit: Bolt driver app is working now. Guys I had this funny experience at VGC yesterday night that I think I should share. Took rider to VGC, a resident. She used her access card at gate. I dropped her at home. Mind you she didn't put the correct address, so it was the usual turn right, turn left thing that got me to her place. On getting back to gate I was asked to supply Pin before I could drive out. I know VGC requires Pin to enter but not to go out. Unfortunately for me, the rider didn't use pin to enter. Was asked to call the rider or go back to where I dropped her. Her number was switched off. I had no idea of where I dropped her. Na so local man got stuck inside VGC o. I was there for more than an hour and saw other drivers who had same issue. I had to practically appeal to some of their ogas wey dey security post before I was let out o.
Lesson: When you drive to VGC, access card or not, make sure rider get you PIN o. All da best. Sorry about that baba. They just started that pin stuff two weeks ago and what you could’ve have done in such case is that you’ll simply go online on both app even add ocar join making 3 apps. Surely request will come to take you out instead of staying for 1 good hour. It’s happened to me, and I go online got request on bolt going to Lekki. The lady had to call her man or whatever to get pin for us to drive out. 2 Likes 1 Share |
