Beware of the New Trick Used by Bolt Drivers

 Amidst the many complaints by the Kenyan taxi drivers, especially those on the Bolt platform, about the rising cost of fuel, the platform has not considered this and done a price review; some of them have devised ways of "stealing" from innocent clients.

Normally, when you request a ride, the price charged is indicated, and the client decides whether they will pick that specific ride. So on Wednesday, a friend of mine used Bolt to request a ride from Nairobi West to Upper Hill. From the app, the amount was 260 shillings, and up to the point when she was almost alighting, the amount was still the same.

So when he reached his destination, he paid the Bolt guy the 260 bob, but to his surprise, he was informed that the cost was 380 shillings. "How is this possible, yet it was 240?" He gently asked because he did not want to cause any altercations. The guy informed him that she should confirm from his side, and true to his word, the amount was 380 shillings. When he told me about it, I asked him what could have resulted in the change of the prices, yet it was initially 260.

After reading the Bolt's terms and conditions, we realised that rogue drivers can take a longer route or fail to stop the fare meter of the Bolt App after the Transportation Services have been completed. So this might have happened to my friend because he told me the bolt guy used a longer route, saying, "This is the route directed by the app, and if I go against it, the client will be charged a higher price." 
I asked him to launch a complaint with Bolt because this is wrong.
Tell a friend to tell a friend.

What is Your Treasure?

 A few years ago when I was in college, we had a discussion with my friends on what mattered to each one of us. Someone was asked, in the event of a fire, people drowning, or even an Earthquake, and you happen to be with the whole of your family in that situation, who or what would you save? Say you had your parents, sisters, brothers, your laptop, money, gold, wife, and children, who or what will you save? I want to pose the same question to you. Who or what will you save? I know how tricky it is. I do understand because it wasn't easy for us too. Somehow some of us felt like we would save our parents, and in the order of priority mom the dad, whereas some claimed that they would save their children. But again, I love my wife. She is the mother of my children. If I save my children and let their mother drown or get burnt, how will my children view me? Were it not for my parents, I wouldn't be here, I also do love them. In all honesty, they would be the first ones to be saved. ...

Are You a Man Under 30 Years? Here are 9-Under-30-Years Commandments

9 Advices to a Man Under 30 Years  Growing up, I never had the privilege to get advice from a 30-year-old man on what awaited me when I hit the third floor. I guess growing up with a career dad did not do me all the good but he did his part by ensuring that we had a comfortable life. I therefore had to figure things out myself after getting to 30 years old. Here are my lessons that might also help you. 1. Until you have defined what life is, never commit to a woman. 2. Do not take long before you move out of your parents' house. Even as you do this, always be ready to go back when things do not work out, because at some point in life, you will need to rethink and restrategise. 3. If you have an income in your 20s, use that money to build yourself. If you are into land, buy as much as you can. I always tell my students, if at any point in life, you have the resources but do not know where to invest, just go and buy a piece of land.  4. Do not spend more than two years in a job ...
