sunnp:
Oh OK if u try u will see many today, which area are you?

I left the same day. Back in lag

sunnp:
First consider is there traffic like Lagos? Also the price can't be the same let compare Abuja n Lagos too?

I just did a quick to and fro trip. So I couldn't go online, just checked to see how many cars would be available. And you're right, the price can't be the same

Live in Ibadan, there's no lite here, only taxify and their fare is poo. Rubbish

sunnp:
Yes that good just try for weeks till weekend but you know it can't be like lag cuz of movement in lag can't be compare to ib movement

Yes that's true

sunnp:
No I did not have time to work full time but the issue on during the day is pick up location is far well on Saturday I work from 11 till like 7 and get 12k with 2300k fuel

Thanks for the info. I'll try it out probably next month

sunnp:
So I went to ibadan to rest for a week..then i decided to
test the taxfiy and see how it be, well I think it will work very well in Ibadan not as ppl think but for now the issue is pick up location is far sometimes, due to no much driver yet

Do you have time to work one full day there and compare your daily earnings with the average you make in Lagos? Since drivers are not much there yet, I have where I can stay there so moving down and enjoy back to back trips before it gets saturated like lagos is an option

Hello great minds, just picked a rider from ikeja to sango otta on taxify and after ending the trip i saw 1,000(card trip). Rider also told me she's on promo but I'm yet to see any update as regards that on my dashboard. All i can see is the 1k displayed when i ended the trip. What can i do?

If you've confirmed price, then all you can do is say segobe

lagostaxiguy:
With the number of forgotten items you claim to have returned, I must say you're a bad driver too, a good driver should make effort to check when riders get down

Nonsense

Moda1:
It's my concern oo A begger no get choice . U can't dictate if u can't even afford it .This internet based drivers can't deliver even if u give them mint car

He's not a begger

eherbal:
from the little experience I've gathered on this thread, A/C should be switched on before getting to rider's location. We learn everyday bro.best of luck

That's if your AC is not in form like Messi

GAZZUZZ:
Let me tell a small story here, on monday I was up 5am and restless, so I decided to leave the ouse really early, by 5:45am, I got to the junction of my house and turned on my uber app, I decided to go any where the wind blows, in my mind last last by 10am I would be in my workshop. Got a request and then the rains started.

Picked up rider and destination was illupeju.

According to map, ojoduberger- 7up-ojota was the fastest way there, but rider turned to choir master and started giving her own directions oba-akran-maryland- illupeju. I first showed her the red markings of traffic, but she no gree, so me I am not in a hurry to anywhere, nah so the total journey come be 1h44mins (1 hr spent in traffic) when we got to destination, I ended trip and she saw 2350 she come de shout! Said she only has 1500 but I should give my acc for the balance, me I read the rules to her, cash or card, I don't receive bank transfers I said we can go to an atm, she said she's already at work. In that case I said there's nothing I can do, You can leave have a nice day. She came down and I got another trip from same parking lot back to near my area.

Dropped passenger and pressed the report button, got a reply 20mins later that the trip I will be refunded.... Blabla bla they added another 500 for inconvenience sef. I smiled (uber for president!)

5hrs later I received another message, report on poor route, rider reported poor route trip now 0 naira
I mailed back I want my money refunded or DEACTIVATE ME I NO DRIVE AGAIN.

Omo next series of mails where sorry, please show trip and next thing I was refunded 3593naira for the 2350 trip.

Long and short there are a lot of fraudulent riders out there and from now on, once you sit in my vehicle I will ask 3 questions.

1. Where you de go?

2. If cash do you have cash on you or are we going to atm?

3. You want to play music? My auxiliary port is not working and I don't have Bluetooth so please use ur earpiece

ROTFL LMAO LOL HAHAHAHA

Oluwabengz:
I met a Taxify driver in Cardogan Estate, Lekki on Saturday and he told me how he almost got robbed off his car by a rider he picked up around 8pm on the Island.

He said he guy keeps taking him from one location to another, just to while away. At about 12am, he told the rider to let him go that he has to go home to his family but the rider insisted that he take him to some other few places and wants to buy some bottle of beer for the driver but the driver said he's not interested in drinking but going home to his family. At this time, the trip fare calculation was 9k plus according to the driver.

The driver said he politely told the rider that he's not interested in the 9k plus that he will end the trip so the rider can order another, the rider insisted he takes him to few places and he will be on his way home. Fast forward to few mins to 4am, the driver insisted he's not going any where, asked the rider to get down so he could go home that he has not been out this late before and then, the rider got furious and start threatening to deal with him. The driver said he sensed some fowl play and decided to drive towards the nearest police station around Sangotedo (I can't really remember the name of the place the driver told me) then the pounce on the driver, gave him a punch on his face, before he could say Jack, the rider gave him another, removed a dagger from the bag he was carrying. The driver said he usually uses his seat belt like that of Danfo drivers, so he was able to remove the belt over his head and jumped out of the slowly moving car and ran towards the police station.

When he got to the police station, he reported the case and some police men followed him to where the left he left the car and the car was still there(luck on his side) but the rider made away with the Car key and his phone. The rider said he suspected the rider ran into a near by bush and waited around with the police men to see if the rider turned armed robber is gonna come out of the bush. Lo and behold, here comes a man in a Navy kaki coming out of the bush carrying the same bag the rider was carrying and he managed to recognize that it was the rider that tried to rob him that was in Kaki. He alerted the police men, grabbed the guy, gave him some beating and the police took him to the station.

The driver said, after the police profiled the armed robber, he turned out to be a real Naval Officer (i shock!). The driver said he was told those military men are now into stealing/hijacking of cars.

When I asked about the case in the police station, he said the armed robber has been released, he said those police men pleaded with him not press charges cos the Rider/armed rubber/Naval man will be dismissed if the case gets to court and he agreed to let go. The driver told me he took a shot of the robber and showed me.

B.S: please be careful of riders that carry bag at night, if possible, don't pick up any rider that has a bag at night .

If you have more muscle than me I think twice before carrying you, I no sabi fight again

GAZZUZZ:
what should I be looking at?

The valve cover sir, always wet with oil. Please zoom in for better view

deedee44:
Afternoon sir, barely 2 weeks after servicing Camry 06 with hardex 5w-30 fully synthetic oil, oil level is low again. What could be the cause and what is/are the solution(s).

Engine is still sharp, though mileage is above 170k.

Thanks

Update on this
Could this also be the reason oil keeps getting short?

tunde2222:
Thanks for the reply. What do I do to avoid such next time.?
Even if I buy a mifi for backup, Is there a way to use both phone network and mifi 2gether to solve such issue.
If so which mifi do you recommend, I use Etisalat on phone.
I will like your reply ASAP since I can still get mifi in computer village b4 they close.

You can't totally avoid it, next time do not complete the trip if you notice the fare is unreasonably low, click on fare review/review fare instead

Pitokwe:
Thanks.

There are only Nigeria used Pincanto.
Is it customer preference?

Cc:Gazzuz

Bros na joke o, don't even dream of picanto for e-hailing biz. Too small

Pitokwe:
Thanks D Oracle!!

Which affordable car with the best of fuel economy will you recommend

Picanto

GAZZUZZ:
Camry 06-08 (2AZ-FE america) happened you should not use 5w30. Try 5w40 but not that Hardex crap

Can you recommend any particular brand? Economical and efficient. Thanks

NURTW of Uber

Very soon, they will also have task force that will come and tell you that you cant operate without their permit

Nigerians and Union things...... Agbero must always find a way to every thriving venture...... Now they will have executives and official cars............ I would love to know what the fee will be used for sha.

Typical example of Animal Farm

Before it gets crazy, we go don move on sha....... By the Grace of God

It's a waste of time, it will not work. The excos will embezzle money and everything will scatter

Phranex:
I'm human. No system is fool proof. I will recalculate

That's just it

Phranex:
In scenario 1

It is 35% of 9k

In scenario 2

Also 35% of 9k

I see a loss of 650 tho

That's a good sign, gradually waking up

Phranex:
Your mathematics is flawed.

That 1k was deducted from the total earnings as expenses.

He said 4k for fuel.. Total earnings is 10k

He actually bought 3k.. So he kept 1k abi..

When we want to share the 10..

We minus 4k which the actual 3k for fuel plus the 1k with him as expenses.

We now share 6k... He didn't cheat me.. He played a fast one on himself. If he likes he says the bought fuel for 7k whereas he bought fuel of 1k.. Remember he is buying fuel from my money... He has to pay the amount he used to buy fuel before we share profit.

10 minus 7 is 3

Is 3k we will share... He might have 6k with him but he gave me back the 6k as expenses.. Lol.. Not so smart after all....

So you still don't know when you fail simple mathematics or you know but don't want to admit. Well either way your case is beyond redemption, aja to ma sonu...

Phranex:
Let's say driver buy fuel 3k but tells me 4k


At the end of the he makes 10k (bad day)
10 -4 =6

The driver and I will share 6k .. He gets 2100 (35%)

He tells me the truth

10 - 3 = 7

The driver and I share 7k.. He gets 2450

Who loses if he lies, tell me?

You lose, Brutality!
If driver lies he gets 2100 from you + 1000 he gained from lying, that's 3100 compared to 2450 if he tells you the truth.
Now you See the level of your smartness? Common driver outsmarted you

And while trying to be smart you also feel everybody here is a driver except u, you've not even bought one car and you've called people with fleet of cars drivers because they tried to correct you, not so smart afterall

ColeworldMD:
Guys well done o. Abeg btw Diamond, Skye & access which bank receives Uber payments the fastest

I heard there's no more Skye, limit has been shifted somewhere yet to be disclosed

Phranex:
Why don't drivers make the money and purchase a car if that is easier than driving the car?

Uber drivers feed fat on others sweat.

I'm a young guy who is losing sleep and denying himself pleasures so he could save up to buy a good on uber. yet theres a driver out there who wants to remit a fraction of my car earnings weekly and top of that, he still wants me to maintain the car off the peanuts he calls remittance.



As someone above puts it, it will take 2 years to break even on a 30k weekly remittance..


What sort of rubbish is that. Whereas on a bad day, a driver can make 15k... This is just wickedness

Must you invest in uber? There are 1001 businesses out there bro
