The Professional E-Hailing Drivers and
Private Owners Association (PEDPA) in
Lagos on Tuesday said it had entered
into partnership with two indigenous
App companies for its ride sharing
service.
Mr Idris Shonuga, National President of
PEDPA, told newsmen in Lagos on
Tuesday that it had partnered with
Active Ride and My Cab App companies
as replacements for Uber and Bolt.
“These indigenous App companies
would work with the templates and
provide drivers with a good welfare
package for riders’ satisfaction.
“This will enable the union to protect the
collective interests of the drivers as
decisions can now be jointly taken and
approved before it is binding on both
parties,” PEDPA said.
Shonuga said that both drivers and
riders endured the shortcomings in the
e-hailing industry without any mutual
written agreement between the owners
of the cars and the foreign app
companies.
“As against the 20 per cent commission
by the team giant App companies,
Active Ride is charging 15 per cent
commission on each trip.
“And out of the 15 per cent, five per cent
is dropped into the driver’s cooperative
wallet and can be accessed for a quick
fix.
“This means that with the 10 per cent
commission taken by Active Ride,
drivers can now earn more and even
save.
“They can now have a good
maintenance routine which in turn
translate to better customer service
delivery,” PEDPA said.
He said that the new locally developed
ride sharing app would allow riders to be
properly profiled as they would input
their photographs at the point of
registration which in turn will be
displayed for riders to see.
“This will improve the safety and
security of both riders and drivers,” he
said
The PEDPA president said that prices of
goods and services had gone up by over
200 per cent and called for an upward
review in fare to meet the current
economic realities.
“Most drivers are no longer able to
maintain their cars and cannot manage
the riders well as they most times
transfer their aggression on the riders
whom they felt are underpaying them,”
he said.
Shonuga appealed to the general public
to support the indigenous ride sharing
App companies for better working
conditions and improved E-hailing
services that would contribute greatly to
the country’s GDP.
Speaking with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on the sideline of the
briefing, Managing Director, Active Ride,
Mr Ajayi Ayodeji, said proper profiling of
drivers would help curtail insecurity in
the industry,
Ayodeji said that the reduced
commission of 15 per cent “means that
drivers can now earn more and even
save.
“They can now have a good
maintenance routine which in turn
translate to better customer service
delivery,” he said.
