This is another reason for block account, drivers needs to take note of, I have never heard they block people for this. Anyway I don't think it is a permanent block. You need to contact Bolt support, so that they can look into your matter. Set the radius on your app to 2KM so that you stop getting request from far distance and try as much as possible to limit client did not show and missed request

NYCnextStop:
same issue here. I sent them mail to that effect and their first response was that my account is suspended till 2030. Later they sent another mail saying if in a week’s time I don’t hear from them I should know that my account has been blocked permanently

Felicity0001:

Now you have succeded in confusing me. Will find out more about that

northbird:


That 2km radius is just a farce.

I HV had long distant PUs before ( 7km n beyond). I don't go o. I let it slide. Pick up DT rider mite still eventually cancel.

The app just picks d closest driver in DT area ,radius setting or not.

Na WA O, for this Economic recession wey all man dey find money....You need Jesus. Only him can make them unlock your account.

NYCnextStop:
thanks for your concern bro. We just pray and hope for bigger things

NYCnextStop:
all I can say is that you should be careful about your rider did not show cancellations. Always try to check the percentage at the end of the day

About your question... yes I did cancel all trips after 5 minutes. Well I’m left with the option of doing only Uber but Uber no be work. I’ve moved on already.

InfinityEstates:


Rider did not show, Number not available, Forbidden area, I do not wish to serve this client... I've use them all as the case demands. If Bolt blocks today, man go still survive. The good thing is that you've adapted to the situation. Hopefully you'll get unblocked soon.

Question: How many times can a rider cancel before getting blocked?

dckng16:
You re welcome bro. Yea bigger things, I like that word.

I personally domt think Dru will comeback to nairaland again, among many reasons I'll only state one sarcastically.

Give yourself a two weeks break from nairaland or let the mods ban you say for like 7days, you would have noticed NL adds little or no value to you rather a total waste of resource, time and energy which you've profited you more had you invested those same time, resource and energy on something else.

In a nut shell, dru isn't coming back because it doesnt cost anything to create another other moniker.

Same reason is behind my erratic presence here if not for the mentions, hineatly? I don't know.

I thought this thread was for Uber but its like bolt has more talks for now..

Uber is really milking driver. They charge 25% and sometimes up to 50% from trips.
Currently they are still taking 25% from me even after 27 trips for the week. When I emailed them for taking 50% they said they are adding more charges for other fees thus making the fare bigger than it should. This means they are getting debts from riders through me without my consent. These guys should be reported or sued.
They are really cheating. I am switching to bolt. But its quite unfortunate that bolt activation process is so slow. Nigeria factor. Till today their office is still locked.. God help us in this country

Well, every man to his cup. I think it all boils down to personal preferences. That's why some drivers r still on Uber.

I mean I need to know where I'm going to in Lagos. I can't just b driving around Lagos wtout purpose.

The plan is to make profits n not to just keep driving forming activity. Sadly, uber fares. .. too low.

Heading home nko. Uber's destination is always non- responsive. If I'm going home from island n I set destination to mainland on Bolt.

Worst case I get yaba or ogudu WC is still good.


On uber, you HV to keep trying. somtyms sef I gat blow empty wen I Neva knew Bolt was d bomb back then.

Abi na those short trips n you see #370 something naira. .

Wt a corolla for godsakes wat will #370 naira do for me ..

On bolt. Weda its from point a to b even if na just 3-5 mins ride. Its #500 flat..


N so on. Mehn , I can't be forming posh n still get shortchanged.

If at COB , d 5% margin gives me an extra #500- #750 daily . In 20 days, I have #10,000- 15000 to play with.

That's very fine by me.

ennon92:
Do you mean Bolt's commission is 20%?




Newsflash; Bolt's commission is now 27%

InfinityEstates:


Really? There was no mail to that effect. I even tried checking now and the 'Revenue' and 'Net' from Monday is the same. I'll look out for it.

But wait o, if really it's now 27%, would that make me jilt Bolt

davit:
How come? How did you get this?

pope191:


Have they unblocked u?

davit:
Nope. They said they re looking into it and will get back to me.

This is my third ban. So I don't know how soon it will be attended to.

pope191:


It is well... How were able to reach them?

davit:
I sent in-app message.
How many times have they banned you before?

pope191:


Twice for low rating and first time for passenger do not show... Can't get them as the support says its not up to them to be precise on matters like this.

stephenwa:
Please my fellow comrade
Do anyone have ideal if there is movement tomorrow at Ogun state

xana101:
I’m owing bolt 8k plus. Now I can’t get cash trips.
Please I need there account to pay. I didn’t get their mail. After paying what is the code I need to send to them.
Secondly, I check my balance can’t find the net and commission they remove. I calculated and discovered they are charging about 30% right now. I tried to check my previous weeks balance and transactions, they have removed every thing. What is Bolt try’n to do. I mail them since Monday no respond. Uber just make Bolt de shine. I wish uber can adjust and compete with Bolt by reducing there percentage and allow destination works at all time afterall u only have 2 slots to set destination. I love uber but can’t on it right now cos it’s a total slavery right now. Very low fare and high percentage. Bolt on the other hands are thiefs.

OJURONGBE1:



Yes boss but make sure you round up your 'binnez' before 5pm (curfew starts by 5).

davit:
Making 3 bans then.

dckng16:
I think say nah only me detect their high commission these days, they charge you 20% on Cash trips and another 20% on the outstanding you are owing (card trips), its really annoying. And all these commissions being are being charged on a low cheap fares. How much will u keep for fuelling, maintainance and other expenses. They should look for into these cos it is not fair. 40% commission is too much.
