DisGuy:
Why cant they migrate to other app or even combine uber/taxify


what percentage is Taxify charging ?
What is price difference between uber and taxify ?
Is this 40% reduction permanent or temporary?
Good questions

Uber know we will ask this questions And they don't want to compare their self with others or they simply want to be the only one in the business. They have ways of killing other competitors.
But this time around their competitors are their run away staff.
This guys know their tricks Weller.

Uber can as well bring down their fares like others but the fact that thet are the 1st in the busuness they dont want to copy others.


Below are Uber thoughts
1. Let's do a promo!
Is a no go area. Last one was a fraud and no rider will accept that idea.

2. Let change the name promo and call it "Reduction in price and top up fare" to confuse drivers and partners.
Now we know is simply slavery .

Taxify know Uber has tricks up their sleeve. They play save by making their fare dynamic. But always keeping it below Uber fare in a way Uber will not have a base plan to fight back.

Uber did not say is temporary.
But we know it will last until their competitors are all dead just the way they killed many in their last promo.
And they want to do this real quick by giving simply condition which is stay online for satain hours to get top up on ride or no ride.
They just don't want you to be in other platform.

Let's see has it goes.

People are extremely angry and many go burning their office..

chalantmike:
stupid move. yhur using a companies idea, platform to run yhur business, of cause they define the terms.

instead of embarking on stupid strike n senseless riot, can't they just pool their resources together hire a programmer and build their own network/platform.

the uber app is nothing more than a database, GPS,profile and rating plus back end web and notification.

1 million tops for a very very good app.
800k a very good.
500k to 300k just basic .

if them go pay I can build it for them,ideas rule the world, taxe drivers form associations, the uber platform is nothing more than that.
Shout up there!!!!!

TravelRe: UBER/TAXIFY Drivers Embark On A Strike Action Over Reduction In Fares, Others by cogbuagu:
I'm an Uber Driver.
When I hard the news saying 40% fare cut down with out Uber them self cutting down their own 25% commission. I was like I'm finished and done driving under uber platform .

Is nothing but slavery.
Again Uber is greedy
Let us now look into it using my corolla


I covers average of 120 to 180 miles very day making 12 to 20k a day.
From that earning i Buy 4 to 5k fuel every day.

Now with this 40% reduction in fare i get mors riders as if it's Xmas season.
But now cover 200 to 250 miles a day.
Earn 8 to 13k a day, buy fuel of 7k daily

Here are the changes.
After a full day of hard serious driving I go home with like 4k. Well looking into it, 1k plus is toll paid.

And I have stressed my car almost times 2 of what I normally do.
That means increase in mantaince cost.


Uber is all about offering riders 5 star services.
With this fare reduction u are not happy and can't offer this 5 star services.

Uber promised 5k weekly if u drive 70 hours weekly
Tell me how can one drive 10 hours daily for 7 days just to get 5k bonus.

We drivers and partners don't want your bonus.
If you most cut fare by 40% cut your commission or app charge to 5%

Your 25% weighs too high!!
We don't need your bonuses because 70% of drivers can't meet it
Simply cut your commission to 5%

Imagine I picked up a rider from prime waters lekki to Oniru. Uber charges N455 Naira. The man shouted saying your phone is not working.
He gave me 1k said I should keep change.
I told told him that uber offers 40% fare reduction now.
Guess his response?

"This is slavery"

He checked his engine returned to start the bus all he had was a heavy bang behind his bus.

One now with heavy cut on head and the other heavy cut on face.

Both are still alive but have lost too much blood.
