Hmmmn,

This taxify sef, I no understand wetin dey happen again. Or have they reduced their fares?.

How does 25.5km and 112min translate to a N2700 fare. What of the base fee. Can't figure out exactly how much they charge. It's as if their fares are coded in secret. If you Google Uber rates, you'll find it all over the internet, but taxify own... For where

Who knows if they have a live chat channel?

What's the meaning of a "DECLINE MAIL"

GTbank is currently telling me before they can refund my money back to me ,I will have to get a Decline Mail from seller..
_
I canceled the order on the 28th of March and the transaction was approved to be refunded.. But my bank says I should get a Decline mail from the merchant before they can reverse my 60,000naira..
These processes usually takes time. This is the kind of response you may get when you're in a hurry.

Probably GTBANK is telling you that cos they have not yet seen it on their system that a refund has been initiated.

Also make sure you are speaking to card services department and not just their customer care.

Without you doing anything or calling gtb, you will definitely still get your money.

From my experience, a card refund can take up to a month. Most Banks will even tell you to wait till 1 month elapses before complaining

Bily please help, I registered a new car on the uber platform the driver have been approved as active but for the car documents no approval, for insurance document it says "mismatch across documents", and for road worthiness it says "wrong document".

For insurance I submitted a third party insurance, for road worthiness I submitted vio road worthiness document, please house what could be the problem.
Best to visit their office with all the required documents. They'll sort it out for you

Same thing happened to me this morning too on Taxify. #1,100 for Anthony to lekki. So annoying ... A trip of 31km showing 8km and 1,100 as fare
Did you use 'calculate price’ before trip ended?
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by bily(m): 8:13am On Apr 09, 2018
Of recent, my taxify app has been misbehaving... Calculating rubbish price.
This morning, took someone from alimosho to ajah it showed N2400, shocked trip I was expecting around 5k. Anybody experiencing this?
Meanwhile I took a shorter trip on uber from ajah to isolo and the bill was 4k on uber

Some few days ago, was on a trip and I decided to check the current price of the trip which is possible with taxify. Current price was N2900, few minutes later on getting to destination, taxify showed N1300 for the ride shocked

Beyond the risk of being removed or sent on "vacation" if your ratings are very low I can say for Uber dunno of taxify that once your confirmation rate goes into the 80% level you start receiving lesser trip requests same if your cancellation rate is high meanwhile in other news I had a trip of like 2k yesterday which rider did not pay and when I reported to Uber they credited me 5k abi na error?? shocked shocked
Yesterday being payout day for Uber, you probably had outstanding money from card trips to receive

Different strokes for different folks bro that is what I will say besides who knows how long you were doing when you started off but beyond that if you ensure you get your due rest then why not I don't support 18hrs but I usually do about 12 hrs on weekends if other personal engagements or car fixing don't hinder me and it is not like am targeting it that way I may start at 7 or 8 and end like 10pm or 11pm and on some weird days enter like past 12.
Now about this experience hullabaloo, am a darned good driver am naturally smart and I already knew like 70% of roads in lagos before I started so I assumed it would be smooth sailing but alas no I did not factor in that my car option would also be a major headache, ave seen Ladipo more times this year than ever but beyond that there are tricks of the trade which you can only learn on the job but the truth is most owners asking for experienced hands just want to have it smooth and it cannot be that way.no be so money easy to make..

Let me explain our worries.

The experienced drivers already know how the business runs, and using them is less of a risk.

The new drivers will need about a month to learn the ropes. The question is at who's expense?

This is business, same with any kind of job in the formal sector, they will always look at your resume' and first thing they look out for is experience cheesy wink

but do not be discouraged, there are people out there willing to take a chance cheesy
Which ropes are new drivers needing a whole month to learnhuh Is it using the app, or simple customer service or driving abi what exactly is the rope huh

I don't agree with you on this.

They don't get it, instead of asking for experience, ask for upfront payment for the week.

Past one a.m...

I was dropping off a rider and another request came in. I called the rider, a man, and he gave me directions. Driving towards there, i called just to confirm the estate he said i was coming to... and he replied in a condescending tone..... I kept quiet. Got to the estate gate And called him. He said he was going to call security to let me in..... O..K. Security comes out holding a book. That i should write my name. Ahh ah. Wetin happen? Write name that I am going to see governor or I am about to enter embassy for visa.... I don't understand. My name is Romeo3, write am there. That one too started his own sha. That if I won't write I should go away, that even the mopol wont let me in without me writing my name, and he walked away, back into the estate and locked the gate.....

Shuoooo! See levels.

After 2 mins, the man now called again. He starts well, saying it was just Protocol. Sir, I know it's Protocol, but the whole approach is too funny. Only for the man to spoil everything, telling me "1000 uber cars enter the estate daily, and they all write their names. Rich men enter the estate, and they all write their names. Cars bigger than yours enter the estate, and they all write their names.... That there is nothing special about your car. Just drive in, and come and pick your client"

grin grin grin grin
I sat in the car laughing. 1:30am. You have a girl you want to discharge. A car is outside waiting, and you are speaking grammar.. . . Yeah there is nothing special. But i don't like your tone. I don't like your attitude, and i don't like your approach. If after all my shakara I still sign that book and enter to pick this arrogant nincompoop, he will continue his lecture when he sees me, insult my job, insult my car..... and still rate me 1 star after the trip.

He talked and talked. "Hello, are you there?" Yes i'm there. but I want to punish you. I want to teach you a lesson, and i want to waste your time. Why didn't You call all those bigger cars and all those rich men to come and carry your ashi home by 1:30 am? You requested for a service, and you are insulting me subtly..... You are What? You areeeee....... Mad! "I have heard you sir".. That was all I replied.

I cancelled that trip right there and then, and drove away slowly.... God punish you, and God punish devil. He called me again and i ignored..... I was happy. grin
@1.30am
Maybe you were just tired and your mind was subconsciously looking for an excuse not to take the trip and go to bed grin

Cos no big deal in writing your name at the security, it's normal in many places tongue

Driving on Uber has really made me to be conscious of fuel and bad petrol stations. I now know exactly how much 1 line on my guage should cost. grin
Some petrol stations can kill person for this business, while some petrol stations go be like say dem add jara.

What is uber/partners/drivers, without riders?

All d above share in d profit ratio, except d riders!

Sanction me for patronizing ur product/service n I will find an alternative, as simple as that!
That was a joke by the way.
But don't you think you need to be sanctioned if for instance, like one rider I picked up and he lighted up weed while sitting in the car. So we need to look at things from a balanced perspective

Uber calculates your rating over your last 500 rated trips
I have not done 500 trips. They started calculating from 10 trips
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by bily(m): 8:01am On Mar 25, 2018
as a rider/driver, regarding Uber rating system, these are my own personal conclusions

.. a rating system is very much required and the purpose which is primarily to keep drivers on their toes in terms of service delivery and weed out bad drivers makes a lot of sense

...uber rating system is too simple, I believe the calculation should be much more complex. the simplicity of using normal averages makes it very very unfair to drivers. a form of weighted averages would have been better. for example if 4 people rates a driver 5 stars after which driver now gets a 1 rating, his average rating will be drop from 5 star to 4.2 immediately ie 5x4 +1x1=21/5=4.2. it will now require so many 5 star rating to get to 4.7 and the driver will never be on 5 star again even if he keeps getting 5 stars rating subsequently. so think this is the part that needs to be worked on

...rating systems should also affect riders. riders should also get temporarily blocked for low ratings cheesy this will also make riders sit up and be better clients
