Chai! This has to be what I've been falling for on uber too. Same trip, shorter time taken yet the amount variation is in huge gaps. Thanks for sharing. |

This is the most ridiculous lie I've seen in Twitter. The driver does not tell you your fare. You see it with the same phone you booked the ride with. Dumb Nairalanders.. 1 Like |

sholatech: you are right. but i engage a taxify driver in conversation and he confessed that some taxify drivers do this trick... most times when you order for a ride you may not want to check from your end because you trust the system and you are willing to pay any amount the system charge.. like me, i didn't see the summery of my last trip from my end but i paid anyway. |

Hopebringer: Please can you explain the bolded better. The three times I payed an exorbitant price for a distance that I normally ply, i pay 3500-4000 for those trips even with hold up and ended up paying 6k, 7k respectively without hold up. I was sent an email of the receipt but im sure something was not right. I noticed they were always touching their phone. What are they doing? Are they manipulating the fare. They charged me so high for a distance that had no hold up. I really want to know the motive behind always pressing their phone through out the trip. I seriously believe they are manipulating something. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I don't do cash...strictly on card both taxify n uber...so no matter where we go...I know my trip range before starting. So any I don't have any money issue to discuss with any driver. I mostly get promo from uber that some distance is charged N0 as a result of the promo, so in that case, na the driver n uber get case to settle. |

Tetragramaton:let me tell u what one taxify guy did to me in abuja. After he started the trip from airport, he said he noticed it was card, but he wanted cash. I knew he was up to something, i opened the app on my fone and was watching the trip all the way. Trip of 1,500 to 2000. The guy yold me it was 3k he would collect, i say its what d trip reads i will pay and by card. The guy started fumbling with his fone. Next changed d destination to immigration near airport. I noticed and told him. Told him to stop at d immigration. He apologised and changed to my original destination. He ended trip, bill was N100. Just imagine. I told him it was d immigration he changed it to. He said taxify app isnt good, if it were uber, uber would have recalculated the correct bill. I gave him 2k cash because, i wount let him go with N100 for a 2k trip. I reported to taxify immediately thereafter. 1 Like |

Most taxify drivers are corrupt, I had a similar experience in Lagos, dude picked us from ijesha to gbagada, the app didn't open on my done so I asked my brother in law to request taxify for me, when trip ended, the guy said 3k, I was shocked, called my in-law who requested it, he was not available, I had already made the mistake by telling my hubby that I could not access the app, the driver started shouting that I should pay him, I told him to show me his phone or wait till my in law picked, after much arguing and people were beginning to gather, he took his fone and said, oh no mistake I have corrected the mistake your money is #1200. 4 Likes |

Tetragramaton: You might hailed the trip during a surge period. Assuming surge was 2X at the time, it means you will pay twice the previous fare for the same distance. Hope this helps. |
Re: Lady Busts Taxify Driver Who Tricks Passengers Into Paying More by sanerugwei: 6:48pm On Aug 22, 2018 |
thatigboman: Even if destination changes, how will that amount to higher fares, pls explain further. Uber/Taxify will only charge on the distance travelled not distance in view. So even if a driver manages to change destination for an already initiated trip(which I doubt unless the app is not properly developed), how will that give him an advantage. Look at this: So you hail a taxify/uber cab from VI to MM2 and the app estimates 3k, if halfway the driver changes it to Ibadan, will the app change the fare to 10k or 15k if you are not ready to reach Ibadan that day? lol... Mbok, nnyerek explanation is required here.. |

sanerugwei:taxify app allows drivers to change destination while in transit. A taxify driver has done that to me in abuja. |
