Do you get to see destinations on the Bolt screen ?
I have only 4 jobs done fer them but I can't figure out how to see a destination either before or after accepting a job, or even after I have the pax on board ??
Also how do you know if it's a card or cash job ?
-
Destination comes up as your been offered the job
If its cash the cash sign is in green
If its bolt acc it's in red.
I find it annoying Destination only shows up when your been offered the job and then you can't see it again until customer gets in
-
Also in dublin city center I find bolt jobs are always a good bit away from ya compared to a free now job
-

I always end up asking them where they are going.

Personally I hold my radius on both apps at 2km all the time.
-
Drag up the job card and it shows ya the desto along with there name etc
-
Yes I do aswell but they do the same as free now and offer jobs further than the radius

Could you explain that just a little bit more ?

I find with bolt it a shit system and slow when it's busy that you have to keep going online if you reject a job.its too slow if your trying to drive the car,it's busy on the street and you constantly online....offline...online
..offline...online...offline
Fuck it I think il stay offline..lol

From their website;
You may receive orders outside of the selected radius if there are no other available drivers close to the passenger's pickup location.
Please note that radius is measured aerially, and the actual driving distance may be longer than the radius distance.
Rejecting such orders will not affect your activity score or your eligibility for specific bonus campaigns.

Apologies Stephen, I didn't make the weekly 5 job quota to qualify both of us fer the Nifty Bobo, I had 2 done early Sat morning and another 2 just before midnight on Sat night and even though I worked on through the night (even during the jungle hours) with the app on until 5am no further job was offered to me ??
Seems very strange that even at maximum peak closing time hours on Sat night that no job was offered to me ??
I will admit that I was not too pleased with the 'Shut-out' last night,
but as a newbie on it, I will give it another go.

What’s shut out ?

This has happened twice for me on Bolt. Finish a card job, input, and confirm the price, then another job hops up, but immediatley afterward I am asked to input a price again. I don't know if that is for the new job already, or it wants the old job price again, so I cancel the price request, and say that the job was not done, only to have the 2nd job come on screen, and the 1st card job down as not being done, another 10 monutes wasted typing in an explanation to ensure payment for the 1st job.
-
It's happened me too Bob.As it turned out it's the input screen for the first job popping up again.So it seems I didn't have a chance to press enter the first time so it has to be done again.It may have been entered but the system doesn't send it.

Yous try running multiple taxi apps on a bleeding Doro phone.Dont be minding them Bob..
-
Yes

You were prob looking too hard fer it Harry and went off in to settings to find it while it was on the home screen.
That is also a plus factor fer the Bolt app which makes it easy to change, on the FN app it can be difficult to change whilst driving.
-
C'mon now lads... he had his driving glasses on... bless!
-
Ah, yis don't know the half of it, hope I made yisser days.
Now that I think of it, I remember adjusting it when I installed the app.
Thanks VD, the big picture was a great help, and I'm getting rid of the DORO.

Doro...wat the hell is that

I see tonight on my BOLT account, for the 1st time, a cancellation fee of €3. This was unsolicited as I am una ware of a mechanism for so doing, and it seems that they will take 13% on it also. 1
-
If the passenger cancels after a certain amount of time before arrival or after you've arrived Bolt give you a €3 cancellation fee unlike FN who charge their customer €5 if they cancel even before "Arrived" is hit and make you jump through hoops to try and collect it!!

Topic Bolt Destination .You mongs dont get it. The destination is your earnings as in 25% before costs so your fare is a 10.00 they get 2.50 but you pick up the cost of the car ,fuel ,insurance .maintainance,phone, You fucking halfwits are committing suicide by fucktartidness .Pity is you stupid cunts are fucking it up for everybody .
-
Ended up with €60.40 bonus for the Mon-Wed €17/fare guarantee from 13 hours over 3 shifts... covers the diesel anyway, I guess... and I still got some cash inc. €76 from Bolt jobs and €122 from Free Now jobs. Happy days!
Are you working exclusively for Free Now, erm? Surely having more employers will slow down the inevitable freight increases?

I worked with Bolt a good bit this weekend and down here in Cork the destinations DO NOT SHOW when the job is been offered, nor even the distance of the destination, all it shows is the pick up and how far away ??

I would tentatively say that you are mistaken, maybe scroll the screen fully up, it is definitely there at the bottom before you accept the job.
Another anomaly: If the job says that pax is going from A to B, and the app offers you a follow on job near B , but the cutomer has told you that he wants to go on to C, a considerable distance away, you have to decide to accept the follow on job to maintain your acceptance %, knowing that the client will probably get annoyed, and cancel, as he sees you driving away form him, or you can reject the job thereby reducing your acceptance %. Neither option is ideal.

I don't think so Harry, if I touch the lower end of the screen then that accepts the job ??
I have heard that in other foreign countries that the NO DESTINATION issue is also at play with Bolt, it would seem yiz Doobs are the lucky ones fer now !

Are you sayin' Bolt is 100 metres away?
