Let’s talk about one of the most useless e-hailing apps in Lagos right now: Indrive. Honestly, no other app is causing as many problems for both riders and drivers than this app. Here’s why:
1. It’s a huge time waster.
Indrive has convinced drivers that it’s the best platform out there.
But in reality, it encourages drivers to run their cars into the ground because the fares are often below cost price. Drivers end up working harder, earning less, and damaging their own vehicles.
2. It takes control away from drivers and companies.
Before Indrive, drivers had some control over their assets and pricing. Now, apps are forcing drivers to accept the lowest possible fares. Drivers no longer set their own rates they are entirely at the mercy of the platform.
3. Riders are misled about “good prices.”
Many riders think Indrive fares are great deals. For example, an AC car from Festac to Ajah might show 8,000 Naira, and the rider gets excited. But after the driver pays for fuel, maintenance, and Indrive’s roughly 20% commission, nothing remains with the driver.
4. Premium services are undervalued.
Drivers are expected to provide a premium service air-conditioned cars, comfort, reliability but Indrive dictates prices that don’t fairly compensate them. No e-hailing app has the right to determine how much a driver should earn without a proper benchmark.
5. It drives the market down.
Because Indrive sets extremely low fares, other e-hailing apps in Nigeria feel pressured to lower their prices too. This creates a culture where “cheap” is prioritized over quality, making it nearly impossible for drivers to sustain a fair business.
Think about it: you wouldn’t expect a luxury hotel experience while paying below cost, right? So why accept this from e-hailing apps?
Indrive isn’t helping anyone riders or drivers it’s hurting both.
💬 Share your experience in the comments. How has Indrive affected you?
@Uber , @boltapp and @inDrive we are using this medium to remind you that social responsibility is not optional. It is a duty. Exploiting the very people who make your business possible is not only unethical it is unsustainable. Change is overdue, and we will not wait again.
Exploiting those who rise before dawn, spend long hours on the road, maintain vehicles with their own money, and bear all the risks, is not only unethical it is unsustainable.
We, the App-based Transporters, are the backbone of your industry.
Without us, your apps are just icons on a phone. Yet, the wages we earn are often below the cost of operating our own cars. The fees, the commissions, the constant reduction in earnings this is a system designed to benefit the few at the expense of the many.
The public must understand, this is not just a labor dispute. This is a question of fairness, justice, and human dignity. The people behind the wheel are not machines; they are fathers, mothers, sons, daughters people trying to provide for their families, just like anyone else.
Change is overdue. Drivers are tired of being silenced while profits soar. Drivers are tired of being undervalued while the platform grows richer. We will not wait indefinitely. The public’s support matters because fairness in the gig economy is not just a driver issue it is a societal issue. We call on customers, on citizens, and on regulators to recognize this injustice.
We are not asking for charity. We are demanding justice, fairness, and respect. It is time for @uber@boltapp and @inDrive to show that they care about the people who make their business possible. I hope the eyes of the public are watching. The time for action is now.
