And they expect partners with high end cars to keep their cars running on the uber platform at a ridiculously low price? Have they thought about cost of maintanance of these vehicles and the financial burden on the partner? I since withdrew 3 out of my 5 cars on Uber. My drivers once told me that some even riders look down on 1 of my cars which is a toyota yaris, as if they can even afford 1 sef. Uber is dead in Abuja..

I got this also from 'Oga Taxi' today:

"We have reduced our Prices to N55/km, N5 per minute and N200 base fare. This is 35 percent lower than our usual rates. Help share the good news with friends. got this also from 'Oga Taxi'"

Oga Taxi so far is the cheapest.

Na wa. This is the advantage of competition but will it be sustainable in the long run? Because Uber is not the one bearing operation/maintenance costs. It's a case of monkey dey work, baboon dey chop. I pity the Uber operators (esp car owners sha)

You are very correct. Normally, my Uber app shows lots of Drivers in my vicinity but now they are so few. Many people would simply withdraw their cars from the scheme and that would spell doom for Uber in Nigeria.

Go with Taxify if it is a Nigerian app even if it is more expensive.

Seem Uber is trying to kill off competition and Uber drivers would bear the brunt of losses for a any unsustainable price reduction since the driver carries all the investment and overhead.

Let Uber drivers move to Taxify and as a Nigerian app (I assume), profits will be re-injected into our economy, whereas Uber's profit is moved out of Nigeria.

This seeing the bigger picture.

There's nothing Nigeria about Taxify. The owner is a young chap below 30 and making mils. So there's no much economy difference between Uber and Taxify to Nigeria.

This is welcome development but it's at the advantage of the riders. Perhaps, their own commission will be reduced to in order for all parties to be even else, more drivers/owners will redraw their cars from the platform and that's a slow death

Abuja Is a wrong place for uber. who are the customers, senators? do u expect them to leave the safety of their jeeps for taxi? 80% of residents leave in surburbs, abuja needs a mass transit model of commute, there aren enuf taxis for residents of mararaba, masaka nyanya, jikwoyi,lugbe,kuje or gwags

rodeo0070:
In response to the latest price rate reduction by Taxify, Uber announced a 40% reduction in Lagos rates effective from Thursday 4th May 2017. This means you can travel for business or explore your city for less than ever before.

In a statement released, the management said, “We want to make sure that Uber is an affordable way to move around your city, so we’re dropping rates in Lagos by 40% from Thursday 4th May 2017. Therefore you can now request a high-quality ride for the same price as small chops!” Whether you’re running a quick errand, visiting friends or commuting to work, Uber has got you covered for less.

In addition to this, the management stated that decreasing the fares should get more people requesting more rides with Uber, which leads to drivers spending more time with paying riders and standing a chance to earn the same or more. We aren’t asking drivers to just take our word for it, we are providing temporary earning guarantees until it is clear that this will be the case. These earning guarantees help to ensure driver-partners, who put in the time, don’t lose out. So get riding with Uber and experience the same rides but now at a more affordable price.

Check out these awesome sample fares:

Sample Locations Old uberX New uberX

* Magodo to Gbagada From N1,100 From N600
* Yaba to Ilupeju From N1,300 From N800
* Surulere to Ikeja From N2,000 From N1,200

Competition is good. I am sure Uber/Taxify would have worked it out with their drivers. It is not a decision to be taken arbitrarily.

Let's see where the price war leads.

I think Taxify is better than Uber. The last 3 trips I've had with them are great and the ride are amazing. The only difference between an uber and taxify is that uber has beautiful and nice cars than taxify.

From Ikeja to cement it cost me N500 yesterday with traffic. Imagine if there was no traffic...
