Uber is simply afraid of competition Taxify set, they need to do a business reevaluation.

All their policies are just best for their own profit making motive at the expense of the drivers and partners

Nice move

Uber and Taxify have no vehicles of their own, yet they unilaterally take interwoven and superimpository decisions at the expense of the real investors.

Even though it's not a must to be on Uber's platform, I support their agitation.

25% Uber charges for their fee is too much, they don't do anything except to connect a rider and driver via their app. Greedy guys!

I'm an Uber Driver.
When I hard the news saying 40% fare cut down with out Uber them self cutting down their own 25% commission. I was like I'm finished and done driving under uber platform .

Is nothing but slavery.
Again Uber is greedy
Let us now look into it using my corolla


I covers average of 120 to 180 miles very day making 12 to 20k a day.
From that earning i Buy 4 to 5k fuel every day.

Now with this 40% reduction in fare i get mors riders as if it's Xmas season.
But now cover 200 to 250 miles a day.
Earn 8 to 13k a day, buy fuel of 7k daily

Here are the changes.
After a full day of hard serious driving I go home with like 4k. Well looking into it, 1k plus is toll paid.

And I have stressed my car almost times 2 of what I normally do.
That means increase in mantaince cost.


Uber is all about offering riders 5 star services.
With this fare reduction u are not happy and can't offer this 5 star services.

Uber promised 5k weekly if u drive 70 hours weekly
Tell me how can one drive 10 hours daily for 7 days just to get 5k bonus.

We drivers and partners don't want your bonus.
If you most cut fare by 40% cut your commission or app charge to 5%

Your 25% weighs too high!!
We don't need your bonuses because 70% of drivers can't meet it
Simply cut your commission to 5%

Imagine I picked up a rider from prime waters lekki to Oniru. Uber charges N455 Naira. The man shouted saying your phone is not working.
He gave me 1k said I should keep change.
I told told him that uber offers 40% fare reduction now.
Guess his response?

"This is slavery"
cry
