A dispatch rider is a person who has a bike and delivers urgent documents or items within a city. I think it is a profitable business in cities that have awareness of it.
Is the job of a dispatch rider lucrative?

It depends on the company and the type of work that you are doing. Some dispatch riders may earn a higher salary than others depending on the type of work and the number of hours they are working. Additionally, some dispatch riders may earn more in tips or bonuses, depending on the company they are working for and the type of jobs they are completing. Ultimately, the job of a dispatch rider can be quite lucrative, but it will depend on the company and the type of work that you are doing.
In my country there are many expeditions for sending goods and documents, usually the shipping process takes 2-7 days depending on the distance. But if you mean couriers who can really be used for urgent needs or need fast time, maybe it can be a profitable business. Because here it is still rare, except for one area of the same city, there is an instant courier service.
I can't work as a dispatch rider. This is because I can't have myself on bike for all day long. It's a risky job.
You have a point. In my country, if you really wanted to have the important documents, you need to use buses to send them right away. This is for a far distance matter of delivering important things. Most of the time couriers usually deliver them at least 2 to 5 days depending on the location of the final destinations.

During the pandemic, riders like them were so useful. The locals were so afraid of going out before due to this coronavirus. In terms of food delivery, they were the frontliners to deliver on time. Now, they are still lucrative even the situation is becoming normal.

I am sure that they are essential within the city. How about delivering in far distances? It is best if they can make faster than before. The minimum days to deliver them within 2 to 3 days in my country. I hope the courier companies consider this matter.

As a dispatch Rider, you have to build a huge network with online vendors. They would be the ones to patronize you to deliver the orders they get.
You're very correct with that assessment because a lot of companies made use of their services when it comes to delivering their products to their customers who bought online.
It is very important when you're dealing with a dispatch rider, that you deal with someone that is reasonable because there are some of them that are criminals who will disappear with people's product.
