‘We’re struggling to survive’ — Bolt, Uber drivers begin strike over low fares, 25% commission rate | TheCable
Author:s of the Amalgamated Union Of App-Based Transport Workers Of Nigeria have shutdown operations over low fares.
“The strike is on. Bolt still maintains 25 percent commission with just N100 increment with this present price of petrol,” a source said. “Look at it. If my car should break down or I have an emergency will N2,400 be able to take care of my situation?”In an official statement on Wednesday, the association said the latest removal of subsidy, which has increased the prices of petrol by over 270 percent, coupled with the “unreasonable 25 percent commission charge on every trip, has further put the business and investment in an unprofitable state”.
“We’ve passed our demands to the application companies but they’ve refused to attend to them,” the statement reads.
