Its happening already. I know a few partners that are selling out. Thing is, there is a limit to how low rentals can be pushed before it stops being profitable. If profit is not made, it's natural for the investor to sell out. After all, it's a business, not charity.

Na true, we know them.
Even if i sleep under the mango tree i always pay my dues promptly.
No be today, my own is not do or die.
The funny thing about such drivers is they won't still take care of the vehicles and will even tell their partners stories.

Drivers are making more money because a lot of them are becoming dubious.

The real story is that a lot of partners give out dead cars.. And also from my experience maintenance is one of the real issues.. One thing I couldn't understand is the use of water instead of coolant.. So what do u expect, there will be a lot partners cashing out ...bad manager has a lot to do with partners cashing out ...to me personally the business is still very good if you have the following.
1. Good drivers
2. Alive cars , I heard one particular partner gives out dead cars.
3. If you don't have good maintenance culture, you have no business in the uber business.
4. A trust worthy mechanic.. Have spend so much money on one of my gear box..this problem has been going on for months and months... I got a new mechanic and within a week he fix it .. Because of the new mechanic, I have a new lease in the business.. So this is the major reasons partners are cashing out.. And I pray that they continue to cash out .. So that I can continue doing the business.. All my advice fell on deaf ears ,so please partners continue cashing out ..in the mist of their cashing out ,if I can get at least 5 to 10 solid drivers I will be grateful.. And not all drivers are bad, sometimes you will need to kiss a few frogs before you find your Mr. Prince

I try to talk to this guys this thing can't be the real price, let them chill while I review, they don't even want to listen to me and one even said is too much, he usually take Ojodu to lekki 1400. Speechless me, I just let dem, while I use d money to buy fuel and feel like blowing home because that sh"t really low my moral. But such its life, its a dog eat dog world out dia.

Sorry for your ordeal Bro, shitt they say happens.
The truth is Uber fare is very low, they should do something about. The job is not easy, sometimes u get short short trips and to worsen the whole thing it will be with long pick up points.
And u end up using the money to buy fuel and start again, and too much cancellation also comes with it's penalty. Otherwise drivers will be able to cancel those long pick up points and short trips.

Completely low, and one person will b requesting from 10mins, only to buy bread at a short distance... The kind swear I dash such rider, in fact I've been off uber for some time now. Thanks to some offline stuff, like on Friday while i was dropping someone at d airport on offline trip, one of my sure business partner requested I get some stuff from him from Ikeja and bring it to Oregun d next day... I billed him 20k and he agree to pay 18k, the way I park the car in front of the office, its like I use stone to shock the 4 legs, enter inside the office and slept off while I wait for dem to process what I came for. There is a need to pay attention to pricing in this business if they really wish drivers well, cos on their part, its more of soldier come, soldier go, its not only the car that will suffer, even the sun is not friendly to the body.

If managing drivers was that easy, trust me uber and taxify would have been in the biz. With the advent of driveless cars, uber is not asking for partners to bring in their driveless cars into the pool, but uber is now massively building their inventory of driveless cars. Managing just 2 drivers talkless of 10 ain't easy bro.

Even under chilling a.c. you can feel the biting sting of the sun. Is there uber compensation for skin discoloration?

No vex bro, just looking at it from a personal experience perspective. I did a trip more than 10hrs and covered more than 230km on a 1.6x surge on uber, but its just about 28k. That's the reason why I'm kind of inquisitive about the way u did urs and judging from the time u start its almost impossible to make that kind of money. Will be glad if u can shed more light

I've learn to treat riders based on attitude and manner of approach, I flow with the cool once, but the moment I notice a rider is d rude type dat felt he/she own both you and the car for d trip duration, I just lock up nd face my front jeje, I don't even have that energy to argue wit someone I barely even know.
