A partnership is a formal arrangement by two or more parties to manage and operate a business and share its profits.

An employee is an individual who was hired by an employer to do a specific job.

Who can correlate the two?

Okay let me twist English small. An employer is the one who pays an employee an agreed amount of money (mostly) as income on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. So in this ehailing business, we know the real employers

And if something goes wrong, what part does the driver play as a partner? Someone here talked about collecting a car on 25k rental, and the same car owner will service and repair..... And you still see it as a partnership?

[b]As for issues concerning death, anyone could die. Because I drive doesn't mean I will die through driving. My point was in the case of losing the investment(the car), who bears the brunt? Who loses? [/b]

But we're talking about drivers having accidents here. Anyone could die truly, but anyone who drives long hours every day is exposed to more risk of death. It shall not be our portion in jesus name insha allah

izzou:
I just want to comment on the bolded from my own opinion..... Please, it's my opinion, so don't crucify me

The question I ask myself is "what exactly is the driver bringing to the table for him to be called a partner in this business?"

If I set up a food canteen: Furnish it with tables, chairs, curtains, tiles, TV, and I employ two ladies to cook and sell, and I tell them that for every plate they sell, I give them #150, will I really call this a partnership? When it is glaring that if anything happens to the shop, they(the two ladies) have nothing to lose?

Look at it from another angle.....

To be truthful to myself, I don't see it as a partner relationship. It's actually an employer-employee relationship

I see uber guys get serious accidents, and I ask myself...."What's the fate of the car owner? " Will the driver fix the car?

Bros, that's how I see this work oh... Na who provide and maintain motor be the oga

1. You set up a rental business and I came to rent your car, I am not your employee but a business partner, abi you will give me employment letter? and pay salary whether there's sales or not

2. "I see uber guys get serious accidents, and I ask myself...."What's the fate of the car owner"
Why not also ask what's the fate of the driver? (If he dies or gets handicapped) and the fate of the family that depends on him

Emimaeyor:

Is that opay and other bike ehailing that cheap?

I also saw another topic where rider was stopped by touts and charged N500 for N100 ticket ride.

Someone should tell me how they operate and the price.

For instance, how much will it cost to go from palmgroove to shoprite surulere?

Its promo, it was N100 last month and I took it once from Berger to egbeda cuz there was madt traffic. This month they increased it to N200, maybe next month it will be N300 or they'll stop the promo all together

nwizu042:
Got a request this morning 5:am. Asked rider his destination and he said yaba. While on 3rd mainland bridge rider changed it that he doesn't have money and that his destination is abule egba. Am like why didnt you say this before embarking on this trip and he started changing yans. I just laughed and stopped the car on 3mb and asked him again and he said i should take him to yaba. I said ok. I started cooperating and he started telling me he hasnt had his bath in2days now and bla bla bla. Ijust de nod head. Sharply turned into sabo police station, after much stories with the police, rider didnt have a dime. Couldnt call anybody to help him.police collected his phone and gave him 3100 and asked him to go get back the money and get his phone. They found female chains and wristwatch with him. I suspect he robbed some ladies or whatever. Last last he paid me and i moved.
Shine your eyes out there kings.
Pardon the typos.

The fool deserved it, he didn't have money and he decided to use uber instead of him to enter danfo or download opay and take N200 bike to his house from wherever he was

lexylexy:
Yes, it will be accepted on uber. But I doubt if riders will accept it though. Offline trip is off completely. Low ratings guaranteed.

Hehehehe. Never say never sha, mile 12 women dont discriminate

jesbu:
Hi guys my second trip from Ikoyi to ojoju berger. Too much bad road in ojoju the area went to. Rider said I should wait and take her back to Ikoyi offline. I smiled. Please how much should I charge her.₦4405 my total earnings ,I think the business is okay although is my personal SUV.

If you're on 25% commission, this fare must be around 6k so you can charge 6k back and add something for waiting time (depends on how long you wait)

Over excited man praises taxi driver after discovering lots of provisions like groundnut, drinks ,including free Wi-Fi and other goodies in the taxi.

Watch The Video .https://www.thenaijafame.com.ng/2019/07/man-praises-taxi-driver-after.html?m=1

Slay queens will start carrying big bags just to park everything at once, especially on N400 trips

driving:
I actually wrote 15k net per week, not daily.

Okay. You can achieve that without dropping a sweat

keneryhark:
Ojota Lagos to challenge Ibadan. 7seaters vehicle 2,100 naira per passenger(14,700), 14 seaters 1,300 per passenger(18,200). That is how much you will earn if you own a vehicle and register on TREK. Visit trek.com.ng to register. Powered by thoughtfulthinker

What of 4 seaters?

Stealth100:
Pin pin pin 2k highest
Pam Pam Pam 4k highest

Crvrider:
I want to believe you've done the needful...researched cost of parts and fuel economy. You have set a realistic target for yourself (15k). Now if you have to work 7days a week that amounts to 105k. How much fuel will you need in a week (25k - 20k)? Which means you're left with 80-85k. Maintenance shouldn't gulp much since you'll be driving yourself, hence avoid entering pot holes (but trust me pot holes will be the least of your problems) like a danfo driver and avoid bad roads. Hey, but what do I know?

10am to 5pm and net 15k daily, I completely disagree. He can't even gross it daily

BAZ001:
Pls 5 hundred (500) or
5 thousand (5000)

He said 5h, not 5k

Buynowautos:
From now on taxify na just assistant to uber. Only when trip nor enter on uber then i go online on taxify.

For the first time in my close to 2 years ride sharing career, I snubbed uber and faced taxify ALONE. I must confess I enjoyed it, just 2 days sha, I plan to continue with taxify when I resume work tomorrow to see if I will enjoy it for the rest of the week then it will be bye bye to uber till they remove their stupid 25% commission. How can I do 15 legit trips for 25% and when it was time to enjoy 3% they told me they suspected fraudulent activities. Are they mad? F*ck them for now

BAZ001:
So I changed my shocks yesterday at ladipo.
On my way I put on app and say to myself no more bad road location e better make my cancellation increase than spending more.

Alert first rider at access bank mushin
I was 3mins away , rider called immediately.
I forgot to ask for location, called her back to ask she said see we outside. As I pack 4 bankers in suit and tie enter.
Oga rider in front: we going to ikotun
Me: oh noooo I put two hands for head.
Riders: why what happened
Me: bad road nooo
Oga rider : is it so bad?

Anyhow I went to ikotun Tb joshua side
Be4 I drop them request enter.
Guess location?
Olowora magodo.
From there another request to sangotedo
To cut d story short
I got to a bad road in sangotedo all those inside street and my motor got stuck in road.
As I dey accelerate tyre dey enter sound.
Was there for 15minutes before mopol and boys help me carry n push it.

Next request na to Mainland. I just close go house

To resume today I just dey fear bad roads

You can never completely avoid bad roads in Lagos, just dont bow to rider's pressure to run on bad roads. I go as slow as I feel is safe for my car when I'm on bad roads, if you want me to go fast fix your road lol

drakeskull:
From Mojisola Street Ifako to New garage gbagada side with heavy traffic, bolt say ride fare is 200 , rider sef open mouth. She offered me the 200, I say make she hold am, I no want. She gave me her WhatsApp number to send evidence after review. Few minutes later, I saw rider review of 2000. Called her, she came to meet me to pay. My second day in this, my car don de make funny sounds sef.
Bold app is so messed up, better to do Uber.

If you've been using Google map, try few trips without it. Just the taxify map and see if you will have the same issue

Cooladex:
I have been lucky meeting amounted riders of late.

Picked this woman from Chevron, to Lagos island , back to Chevron. 10k

Now she has booked me for upper week saturday.

Pls how much can I charge just for driving her car to ijebu for owanbe, to return back to Lag on Sunday?

Be careful, not all that glitters is gold

dru23:
Maybe u didnt read the part that I said ALMOST

He doesn't know your definition of ALMOST. Sebi its you that said 1 yen is ALMOST 1 dollar, when 1 dollar is actually around 97 yen or so . Olodo rabata

izzou:
My rider just bought me #100 Pure Bliss biscuit

I saw him buy it and it was sealed

I hope I don't sleep off after eating it

One rider bought one for me last year. He bought two, he took one and kept rubbing it on his lap then gave it to me. When he dropped I dropped his enchanted biscuit after him. And na that time the stupid thing go dey over hungry person

dru23:
God bless your soul ... that is roughly how much my female driver makes.. And she drives an 04 civic almost an equivalent to driving an hybrid.. Uber / bolt is bae..

It is 'more bae' in yankee, go and start if you're not doing it already. Oh! They say you don't know how to drive. Sorry

izzou:

slamstanlee:
Na wa o
Just now @ lekki 1 i got a request as i dropped someone. I drove straight to pickup without calling, typically i do that if its
1. Around 1km
2.uber
3. Google map is great on the area.

Na so i reach pick up, call rider
Rider: oh you have arrived, you arrived so early... cant you just wait a little (in a friendly voice)

Me: sir the moment u request, it means u are ready to go, so it best i come quickly to pick you. But if you aren't ready i can cancel and go....
Rider; no wait, i am coming down.

A big advanced macho man and and one very lepa babe appeared.

Stood there talking. The man later walked up to the car and stretched 1k to me with a smile.
I collected it before asking what is it for ...

Rider; she said you came too early, she is not ready to go now.
Take that for the stress. You can cancel.

Lolllll

Crvrider:
Are you suppose to do that?

She meant I should unlock, she sat at the back

Buynowautos:
Taxify or Uber?

Taxify

1daboi:
I dey collect steady. What I do now is to shift the ac vent towards my nose. That way, I don't perceive anything. Our work no easy boss

Go and get a cardboard, write MESS NOT ALLOWED, and paste it in your car

slamstanlee:
I am not a learner driver either.
Rider put international airport.
I asked to confirm: are we going to the international wing?
She responded: no mm2 (so confidently)
She must know her airline then i thought.
Ngwanu we are here madam
Rider: What is the difference between mm2 and mm1
I told her one is old and one is new. And two airlines operates in mm1 the rest on mm2.
Rider: oh i cant see any sign of air peace.
Me: that is mm1, but you tod me mm2, and its just behind us.
Rider: oh, lets go to the mm1 then.

Details niyen.

Arik and air peace are in both mm1 and mm2, it depends on which state you're going

Okay I picked this rider from lekki phase 1 to ojodu on taxify, I ended trip and app displayed 1900 (card trip). Rider was surprised, and next thing she said 'door pls'. Wetin concern me, I opened door for her and she left, I jejely reviewed and put 3800 as expected fare. This afternoon I checked and trip has been adjusted to 3800

tojahh:
A driver once told me...

Bros, abeg I no dey collect transfer. Yes he sounded rude but he has passed his message. Believe me, I was about making transfer for him.

When you state your terms of service before contract is signed, it saves you bad energy.


I'm learning... Will soon be a driver though

When you requested the ride, did you see 'transfer' in the payment options? It is either card or cash, so it is your job to notify the driver of your intention to pay via transfer

Xneg:
A driver should be familiar with which airline is at each location, just ask the rider what airline. Arik and air peace mm1 and all others mm2

Wetin concern me, person wey buy ticket suppose know where him go enter plane na.
