With the way una they shame office workers online….we thought you people are all millionaires oh

blackgold2018:
if you are poor then take public transport.
Never live above your means

Lol you’re the poor driver here

blackgold2018:
poor one.. if you can’t afford it.
Take public transport

This is the only defence you lots can come up with?
That am poor?
For your info I only use your service to convey females anywhere I want them.
I drive myself wherever I want to go, I am too mindful of my wellbeing to subject myself to the agony of a 2003 corolla driven by a frustrated driver.

For you lots to keep mentioning car air conditioning as luxury in 21st century shows you deserve pity.

Bolt business is a scam imagining going a ride of #1000 bolt will take #250 not minding u fuel n service the vehicle to the satisfaction of their so called riders

Dem go Dey talk shit, how you go carry one single person, for 30mins drive come get #900 naira with ac on for motor wey you go use over 25k change oil monthly? Es350 na #5.5m o, if e enter mechanic, you to know say no be kids play

Is it by force to be an Uber driver? If the price is not good enough for you, fuçk off! I'm sure some people won't mind.

all this you said but also complained bitterly about price..
You shouldn’t complain at all if those are true.

Some drivers own other vehicles for Uber in the road.
The way poor mental minded people like you degrade some of the drivers that it’s even far well better.

Look my friend.. you spoke thrash, next time use a public transport.

Hartman11:

How won't you be frustrated with this mentality.

Hartman11:

Frustration go kill una…I thought you people are always online claiming bolt driving is the new oil company and degrading others working in offices

In full ...ontop 300 naira u go still see promo na wa oo

You guys keep talking about who's poor or not shows alot about your mentality.. between a enger/customer and a driver/vendor there shouldn't be any debate over who is KING

The last time I checked, you guys were the ones that complained about price, that we usually pay ₦300 for trips which you know it's not true.
You already charge higher than city cabs simply because you think air-conditioning is luxury.
It's greed that is driving your protest... what's even the sense in your protest?

The more inflation bites harder people will cut expenses....less engers for you.
You are now running to the same Govt. that asked you guys to paint your cabs to city cabs colour that you objected?
saying that anywhere in the world Uber is not painted....
Why not operate like it's done everywhere in the world?
Why do you guys think you can become rich overnight with bolt and Uber?

kekakuz:
I feel their pain tho.
But I know a bolt guy that makes about 20k on Saturdays alone.
How Is He doing it that you people are complaining

I think there is more business during weekends

BoltAndUberAbj:
It is the same price template of 2016 bolt/Uber are still using in 2022. Almost 6 years with same price. Despite the insane inflation in this country. Even the price of fuel in 2016 is not the same in 2022.

Infact they increased their own commission/salary from 5-10% to a whooping 25%! But the drivers who toil day and night are still collecting the same 300 naira of 2016.

In warri we changed it for them. Steady offline billing

BoltAndUberAbj:
Sequel to this:

It finally happened:


Source: http://saharareporters.com/2022/05/30/uber-bolt-drivers-begin-strike-abuja-demand-upward-review-transport-fare

U need taskforce to order off blacklegs. Some are not even aware.

I still don't get the purpose of the strike. Independent Contractors demanding for pay rise? Are you guys employed by Uber or Bolt? If you guys are this united won't it be better you guys float your own company to rival these two? Since you guys own the vehicles and own the platforms you can set your preferred prices. With a shortage of drivers on the other two, naturally engers will migrate to your own platform that will be awash with drivers. They pay your price, you provide your service, both parties happy

Ken4Christ:
ed. But they should not make it 2,000 naira per trip. The low price is the reason for the high patronage. And the turn over they enjoy gives them good profit. But I think a review to 500 for the same distance they pay 300 is reasonable.

any Uber/bolt driver shouldn't start his vehicle for any trip less than 1000k.

tonyson010:


those guys are not saying the truth. greed is our problem. bolt prices differ from place to place. it is high in Lagos and Abuja and low in Kaduna where they are still courting audience. the lowest in Abuja is #500 flat except when they give u discount.

last time I was in Enugu, I saw keke rides on bolt platform.

more people are diving into bolt and Uber business because it is lucrative.
Every business has its own risk.

we are never satisfied, if u leave them, they will still cry for more review come two years time.

You are what's wrong with Nigeria.

valudong:
Dem go Dey talk shit, how you go carry one single person, for 30mins drive come get #900 naira with ac on for motor wey you go use over 25k change oil monthly? Es350 na #5.5m o, if e enter mechanic, you to know say no be kids play

25k oil, haba.

uuzba:

Unfortunately, Nigeria as a nation doesn't produce anything for exportation.
When shipment containers bring in goods to port, they return empty with nothing to export.
So we have no foreign exchange from that venue.
Yet the we are still trying to live expensive life like foreign nations..
It can't work.
If uber cannot operate at a loss, and people don't want to pay more for fare,
then let everybody sit down in one place.
We cannot afford the cost of running cars. And the engers cannot afford the cost of paying for fares
Simple.

and the things is that those rider can actually pay more than what Uber/ bolt is offering them to pay

Lol! Did Bolt/Uber not provide you a service? Or do you think hosting a cab hailing server that provides global service while also processing card payments is an easy task? I work in a business that has to host thousands and thousands of servers with staff to implement and them. If you take time to understand the business model of Uber/Bolt you'd have a different perspective. Which is why I encourage you guys to setup your own ehailing business. You guys can setup a cooperative to accomplish that. You don't get to pay tax sef if you guys are able to have a cooperative running a business

That is 1 guy that u know.

Name 5 others u know.

Sometimes I wonder how one is able to pay only 300 naira for a trip.
And where the profit will come frm

Keji1012:


Yestersay, I picked a rider from maitama to wuse , 6km and bolt said I should collect 300 naira

Bros, you dey lie abeg. Even with discount, the least bolt had charge me from just a short distance between mabushi car park to Etisalat office Wuse 2 (just about 2km drive or slightly more than) is #400. WITH DISCOUNT OO..and I used it severally for same journey, without discount is #500…..no dey lie abeg. Some of una too greedy

blowjohn:

As Uber staff wey I be ba ?

BoltAndUberAbj:
You spend 200,000 naira to fix your ac. Only for bolt to give you trip of 300 naira.

Seriously

Cost of car Maintenance has increased

Roadside mechanics also charging high now

To patch one tyre now na 1k

iLoveYouToo:



The lowest rate on bolt currently is 500 except the rider has a discount, which is augmented by Bolt.

The problem with Bolt is they accept everyone to drive on their platform, just bring a car.

You’ll meet some drivers/cars and be wondering how they scaled the screening and inspection phase

Pls point out Lapses noticed

kekakuz:

As Uber staff wey I be ba ?

Infact as task force and uber drivers revenue manager

otabuko:

200,000 for which kind AC?

You can only spend that amount when the whole Ac components is bad at a time which may not be possible
