Ogbunigwe2018:

I also stay in Garki. Our Abuja thread is very quiet.
But theres a higher probability of getting a car there.

Reason I jumped over here is cos of much juice on this Lagos thread.
So many Lagos boys I want to meet with.

Toyota Camry 2004 car V6 up for uber/taxify call 07037327327, 07052598810

Insistent:
Hello everyone,

Please has anyone seen this message on the app??! If yes, his did you resolve it?!

My app started to misbehave in the middle of a ride to the airport. I actually thought the problem was with my phone because it kept going off when I tried to restart the uber app. I couldn't even calculate the riders fare or end that trip. Had to explain to the rider that my phone was going off by itself. To ensure I got paid i just told the rider to pay N3500 and when he said it was too much I explains that its actually N4k for airport trips but I'm only charging him 3k cos he never requested an offline trip. We agreed that I would make a complaint about it so they could put any refund of the fare on his acct. Luckily he had to agree cos of time.

When I rebooted the phone and finally got the app to open I got this notice. Please advise.

Everybody eye is red, the business has been saturated with lots of cars, drivers making weekly delivery are not consistent with their payment again even with 4plug engine

Pls get a 4plug engine to find a driver easily or drive the car your self

lagostaxiguy:


What then should he do with this? Best thing is to give it out at a reasonable rental fee

Suggest a reasonable rental fee...

I'm with Gazzuzz on this one, there is no reasonable rental fee for a V6 in this business.

lagostaxiguy:


Yes but you must attach a passport photo to it and a valid identity card with same details.

We driver-partners have unanimously decided to embark on a sit at home warning strike today Monday 26th Nov. 2018. This is to pass a message to your company that we are not in support of the way we are treated in the e-transport industry. The recent reduction in fare has not been taken in at all by us, and that is the reason for our SIT AT HOME WARNING STRIKE.
The followings are what we want the management to work on:

OUR GRIEVANCES
Note that we are graduates and we did not go to school on credit. Therefore we deserve better treatment.
We render executive services to all your riders, ie(full A/C, super sound system etc). We take insults, we condole riders misbehavior and misconduct, yet we take them to their destinations safely with a smile. All these at ridiculous prices. Let these riders board 'danfos' without A/C or yellow cab without A/C and high charges. Then riders will understand the true meaning of comfort.
Our grievances are;

1. Blocking of driver's accounts without listening to the drivers' side of story. This is barbaric and callous.

2. Frustrating and enslaving fares. If we were truly partners, we would be informed before decisions that affect our earnings are made. Riders are even surprised and bewildered concerning the low fares.

3. Exorbitant percentage (15%) of commission. No e-transport company should take more than 10% of commission.

4. No free will choice of kind of riders to render services to.

5. Rating: this should be a means for riders to determine who is more likely to serve them best.

6. Loss of dignity as drivers carry low live riders that could not in their wildest dreams enter a polished car, insult drivers and make horrific demands.

7. Riders request to carry heavy and dirty luggages at ridiculous prices as luggage fare are not attached. These damages and weakens our car suspensions.

8. High amount of car rent from car owner and tough maintenance conditions

9. Security: there are high risks as pertained to rider's notion. These get greater daily and nothing is practically done to monetize and mitigate the risk.

OUR CHALLENGES

1. Riders take us to dead zones mostly at nights at the detriment of our lives.

2. High cost of car maintenance (i.e, air conditioner, alignment, servicing, etc.)

3. High rate of car insurance

OUR DEMANDS
It is so common and obvious to the sense of every human being that comfort/good life comes with a price (ie. its not cheap). Our services are expected to be executive, and not for pepper sellers or low class people.
We therefore demand that, henceforth, as driver-partners that you call us, 'PARTNERS' in quote
a). that driver-partners must be contacted before any decision in the company is made. We are partners, and that make us stakeholders in the company.
b). that your commission be reduced to 10% charges or less.
c). that your tariff be increased to #85/km and #13/mins as we are facing alot of traffic challenges, especially in Lagos. And we burn more fuel than what we earn at the end of the day.
d). that the so much accolades given to the riders, making them feel like gods and goddess be reduced to the barest minimum
e). that the way driver-partners are tossed around like mere errand boys, working day and night to achieve your set goals and objectives be corrected and amended.

OUR AGREEMENT
We the driver-partners have unanimously agreed that after 21 days of this warning strike slated today, if our demands are not met, we are going to jointly decide to move to other e-transport company that are new and ready to meet our demands. We will also canvass our clients which are your riders to move to the new company to get a better services. And that's how we will crash your stay in this country. This will make you understand the power we have as driver-partners on any e-transport company.

OUR CONCLUSION
We hereby wait for your swift response in treating our request within the next 21 days without any further delay.

Guys,shebi if drivers are striking,there is suppose to be surge,me,I don dey for Lekki for more than 1hr,no surge,no beep and strike come they....**some drivers will shout in forum and do online strike but they will silently be edging on TAXIFY.

LCWind:


The strike was a bit impromptu though making a little impact. Future strike could be more disruptive to taxify if they continue to treat their drivers with disdain.

BayoManuels01:
Last week was a good week for me as I rounded up to join today's proposed strike

Please o, I'm now in search of Hire Purchase Vehicle o,

Here's my (whatsapp) number 08066512335

Slaiojel4u:
I am sure the car dat made you this money is dead by now....no wonder you are searching for hire purchase vehicles to WRECK other cars...Where is your conscience? �

Insistent:
The group is weirdly dry today. I wonder why?

Please I need recommendations from this who have direct experience with alternative ride sharing apps like Oga Taxi, Taxi and RideMe etc.

Please are drivers on these apps making money? How many rides do they get a day on average.

I don't want to clog up my phone with apps that wont bring a reasonable number of daily trips my way.

Please advise.
