Bolt, the ride-hailing firm, has introduced an additional 3 percent booking fee to cover the increase in operating cost. This was contained in a message Bolt sent to its customers on Wednesday.
What this means is that riders would have to pay an additional fee of ₦75 for every ₦2500 ride, including a previous ₦20 flat rate.
Ride-hailing firms like Bolt and Uber have become a vital way of commuting in Lagos and other cities where they are present. But, riders are complaining about the regular surge (increase in price when there is an increase in demand) on the apps without doing anything about it.
With this increase, it would probably be a welcome development for the drivers and not the riders.
