Ok, tell me how much Uber charges passenger per mile? I doubt any driver can make a living wage unless they work something like 18hours per day. alt3r3g0: |

For the driver & vehicle owner, Uber in Abuja makes no sense. It's energy sapping. The rates are very poor, riders are rude to drivers and most of them are irrational as they abuse the platform because it's cheap. The current economic realities have made people to continue to drive on the platform. I bet most drivers will leave as soon as things improve. Uber would have been a good platform if it's properly organised to benefit the drivers & partners alike as well as de-register rude and irrational riders from the platform. You find all manner of riders on the platform both those who ordinarily should not ride on such vehicles. Most of these riders are those who cannot afford regular taxis but will come to Uber and occupy the car owner's seat as lords with utmost disrespect to the drivers some of whom have degree and master certificates. This also depicts the falsehood in most Abuja residents. In Lagos however, I think the prices are relatively okay for the partners & drivers, and as such drivers and partners can make a living. |

I think one of the things not emphasized on Uber is this: The cars are comprehensively insured so even the passengers are insured against any eventualities. You cannot get this with normal yellow cab services. I am an active Uber user and I must say I prefer it. Why? 1. I prefer having to call a taxi from the comfort of wherever I am than standing by the road side to flag down a taxi. 2. I did a rough calculation of being stuck in traffic for about 3 hours. If a journey takes me say extra 3 hours due to traffic , I get to pay about N1,620 (N9*180mins) extra which makes sense since i would even be in a fully airconditioned vehicle rather than sweating in a yellow cab with a grumbling yellow cab driver who would want to hike the previously agreed fare. 3. I can easily call back the uber driver if I happen to forget any valuable in his vehicle. 4. I get a lot of free rides due to my promo code so I pay less eventually. 5. Hey, the app is so tech as well. Besides I can get chauffered in a cool ride for corporate and social events without hassles. This is just to mention but a few pros. I would expect that the proposed laws should be properly accessed before being implemented, taking into cognisance the peculiarity of this kind of service. 1 Like |

GenBuhari: My driver works average of 12 hrs per day...seldom works Saturdays (6hrs max if at all) and never on sundays. You need to see how many drivers are trying to get on the platform. Just drive by their office. |

GenBuhari: This is how it works. When you put your car on the Uber platform, you are given an app that connects you to riders or passengers. You pay uber 20% or 25% fee for using their app (they exclude tolls). Some riders pay with cash or card. The ones that pay with cash.. you keep. The ones that pay with card pays directly to Uber. Uber then deducts their share (20% or 25%) from the amount of money paid to their account and pays the balance to your account. You then settle your driver based on what you both have agreed. So basically you are the one paying uber and not the other way round. For example if you make a total of 100k a week, People pay cash of 70k and card 30k, Uber takes 25k (25%)and pays you 5k. So you still get 75k in total. You dont sign any bond and the day you want to stop you dont need to give any notice or anything. And to your question, Uber x is 400 base fare + 90/km + 9 per minute; Select is 500 base + 10/km + 10/min. |
