Beware: A Cautionary Tale of a Rider Who Ran Away with a Driver's Money

Image
In the world of ride-sharing and transportation services, trust is paramount. Drivers rely on passengers to uphold their end of the bargain by paying for their rides, but what happens when that trust is broken? In a recent incident that shook the trust within the industry, a rider ran away with a driver's hard-earned money, leaving behind a cautionary tale for both drivers and passengers alike. The story begins like any other routine ride. John, a seasoned driver with years of experience driving for a popular ride-sharing service, received a ride request from a passenger named Sarah. Sarah seemed like any other passenger – polite, friendly, and in need of a ride to her destination. As John navigated through the city streets, engaging in casual conversation with Sarah, he had no reason to suspect anything was amiss.

 Why would i want to do a trip from sangotedo to lekki phase 1 with ten minutes pick-up for 5000 naira fare. I even know bolt will remove there 25% painful commission.  I saw the price before i picked I saw the long pick up before i accept the trip I know of the 25 percent commission So why should i complain? Never would I do a trip like that unless i set destination. I have studied the business enough to know to decline and what to accept. To hell with driver score and bonus, my own choice of trip is what I look out for. I buy my fuel, maintain my car and also pay bolt so why won't i have a choice to work at the way i can maximize profits.

You are not suppose to pick poor fare except it's your destination. You are not suppose to pick up many trips if surge is not at stake. Brothers,...

My fellow comrades, make una hear gist at the same time join me thank God. I was in Thomas estate when this trip came in around some minutes past 2am on indriver. I was to take this particular passenger to somewhere around Orinbanwa beside Blenco supermarket.  We embarked on the trip which was very smooth until we got to the busstop from where we are to connect the the rider's street.  On entering the street right from the express, A man out of the dark suddenly appeared in front of me while moving his right towards the edge of his short gesticulating to me to turn off my car, at the same time moving his right hand around his waist as though he  wanted to reach for his pistol that's tucked there. Omo na so, I put car for reverse o use speed try to cut enter express. I didn't know that they already parked their bus behind me blocking the entrance of the Street.  Omo 3 other guys from no where suddenly appeared from both sides of my car and another one behind.
