AUATON's demand is a commission cap of 10%. Bolt is currently taking about 20% in Nigeria. Fuel is around ₦1,400 a litre and climbing. Drivers who were clearing ₦70,000 a day on Uber are reporting closer to ₦50,000 on Bolt now. Whatever the strike settles at — if it settles at the number drivers are asking for — this is where things stand while you're off the apps: Intra Cab already takes 0%. Not a reduced rate. Zero, on every trip, with no plan to change that.
This isn't a pitch to quit Bolt or inDrive for good. It's what's actually on the table right now, for drivers with time on their hands and a car that isn't earning.
The three things AUATON is asking for — and whether Intra already has them
A commission cap of 10%. Intra's commission is 0%. There's no tier, no promotional period that reverts to a higher rate later, no separate "service fee" layered on top the way some apps do it. The price you quote is the price you're paid.
To see what the rider actually paid versus what the driver gets. On Intra there's nothing to show, because there's nothing hidden. You quote a price, the rider either accepts it or doesn't, and if they accept, that exact number is what they hand you in cash at the end of the trip. The platform never touches the money, so there's no deduction to disclose in the first place.
Transparency on trip distance, duration, discounts and promotional deductions. Intra doesn't run promotions that come out of a driver's cut, because there's no cut to come out of. What you see when you quote a trip — pickup, drop-off, passenger count — is what you're pricing. No surprise discount applied after the fact.
None of this is a special strike-week offer. It's just how the app has worked since it launched in Lagos.
What this actually means on a bad-fuel-price week
At ₦1,400 a litre, the number that matters isn't the fare on the screen — it's what's left after fuel and after the platform's cut. Take a ₦4,000 trip: at Bolt's roughly 20%, that's about ₦800 gone before fuel is even in the picture. At 0%, it's zero. Over a full day of trips, that's the difference between a commission structure eating into your margin on every single ride, and not.
That doesn't fix the price of fuel. Nothing here does. But it's one fewer thing taking a cut out of what's already a tight week.
How it actually works
You post nothing — riders do. A rider in Lagos requests a trip, and nearby drivers (you, if you're logged in and near the pickup) send back the price you'll do it for. The rider picks an offer. If it's yours, you go get them, and they pay you cash at the end — no app wallet, no payout schedule, no bank account required to get started.
You set your own price on every single trip. Not a formula, not a floor the platform sets for you — whatever the trip is worth to you, at that time, in that traffic, with that fuel gauge.
What it won't do yet
Intra is newer in Lagos than Bolt or inDrive, so it won't have their volume on day one. This isn't a replacement for either app's reach — it's a zero-cost option to run alongside whatever else you're doing, including nothing, while you wait this out. There's no subscription, no exclusivity, and nothing to lose by having it installed.
