The fault is from the app, drivers were not the ones that put that feature there.
So what's the essence of the calculate price feature if a driver can't use it?
Before they used to say it's phone now they have shift the goal post to ...
Tell them to work on their app, drivers can also check price on Uber once it's cash trip.

Check and get flagged for fraudulent activity.

Even trafic radio is tired of reporting trafic situation in lagos now. Trafic congestion Everywhere. From your compound to the main road. Very soon they will introduce Lagos Traffic Institute where Lagosians will study how to behave and manage traffic situations.

Traffic this week have been quite terrible.
God just use one of my riders to save me.

3rd day now. 15k per day.

If Taxify should die today, they will not make heaven.

Please comrades,
How can I get a POS machine for this hustle?

It seems like the best alternative.

My first business I did was to import parts from Japan. And I needed to raise about $30k dollars at the time . I was still in college part time .. I was doing security job at the time ..
So in order to achieve my goals, I was working over 60hours a week ,I will wrk from 3pm to 7am the next day. I was stressed out, but I knew I wanted to achieve my goals .
My Point is for me now to be sitting down and open shop to sell oil . I have put in my time and work , I busted my tail off ,sometimes I ask myself if all these hustling is worth it or not . I had no social life and didn't really enjoy my college years...

I want through the same pain situation when I was doing truck business. I had two jobs so that I can raise money to buy Mack trucks, I was busting my tail off even more, you can ask Carshopper, I met him on nairaland through that period in my life , ...

So now that am able to find a business that is not as much stressful, not easy but less stressful compare to other business that I have done in the past. Don't you think that I have paid my dues? Dont you think I deserve a little break. I didn't steal money from nobody, it was hard labour with blood, sweat and tears...

The point am dragging across here is you have two choices in life .. Do want to be great and do great things? Or do you want to be average? It is easy to be average, but greatness comes with hard work and persistence.

You have to put in long hours of work , you have to get out of your comfort zone... So if it is driving for long hours, or staying in the office for an extra hour a day. You just have to do what you have to do. But as you are putting in those hours, make sure you work smart and hard. In the end those longs hours will pay off..

1 like for you.

Today's traffic was hell everywhere, from mainland, even in Ikeja GRA, to island, but we triumph still

Had to turn off my app around 5pm somewhere in VI. Stayed till 10pm then went home.

According to an article I read on nairaland. Mike Adenuga, wakes up early and does not leave his office till 1 a.m. the next day.. And the man is close to 60 years old at least. I wonder how is blood pressure is .....

2months ago, I went for medical checkup and my BP was 148/110. I went back the next day, the tried severally but the minimum they got was 140/100.

Driving for over 12hrs per day, 6days a week, is not same as seating in an office. It's not same as seating in a shop selling Engine oil Uncle.

Bro, everybody is a thief! It's a pity we dont get riders comments on how some drivers scammed them too.

Believe me, some drivers are from hell. I have seen drivers use saka, frauds, etc to scan riders too.

Nobody holy pass! I was scammed last week by queen Jackson but I let it slide after we bombed her phone with calls I'm sure that girl wont try it again for now atleast.

Going down to drag her parents it's not necessary.

What do I know?

My fellow colleague tried to scam me yesterday in Owerri.
Most drivers are worse than criminals.

Romeo3:
More farcical garbage.

When you decide to be a thief be ready for the consequences. You are so stupid for not knowing the gravity of her crime. You commonized 4000 naira. You defend a heartless thief who refused to show remorse until her parents were involved.

So so stupid you are. You read where the driver said that his son's school fees made him go out that day, only to be scammed by a prostitute who doesn't value herself and you still defend her because to you, 4k is small. You would do worse to this girl if she had taken your personal money.

But if after putting yourself in drivers shoes, and you have one single nerve to defend her actions then you are irredeemably hopeless and I'm really sorry for the unfortunate man that has to live with, and deal with your lopsided thinking on a daily.

What a disgrace!

You're here defending your fellow drivers, how can you not expect a prostitute to defend her fellow prostitute?

pope191:


Pls u guys should take it easy on d family, I careless abt her, the essence is to get the money, as long as my Oga gets his money, we can let bygone b.

Keep buying gun.

AngryIgboMan:
I wrote about bolt new form of robbery. Nobody listened.

I want you to do an experiment guys. Few seconds before your trip ends, use the calculate price option. Then compare the price to what comes out when you end the trip! You will shout.

Please try this now guys.

They keep shocking me with that shit Everytime.

You'll calculate price and see 2.9k. then end trip and see 2.6k.

I dont want to have issue with uber in anyways because its the only reason im meeting up to my weekly target with less stress n peace.

But most riders are making it difficult for me.
Last week uber mailed me informing of how my account is been flaged for high cancellation. I mailed them back giving some justifiable reasons which was acknowledged by uber. Yet ive had about 6 cancellations afterwards due to one reason or the other, marina axis, wrong pickup address, I'd to even extend my waiting time to 10-12min b4 i cancel.

Right now as I type this mail I'm on a 5km pickup distance I've called and message rider on the app bfor I mive but rider is not picking up neither is he respinding to my messages. So im conduse now dont want to start my week with cancellation now.

What do you guys suggest please

One trick I use when ever I want to use uber to avoid high cancellation rate is to drive to pick up point, wait for 5mins, then cancel without charging rider.

It'll never count on my cancellation rate.

SHOOPSYN:
The abuse is not enough. If you can find out is a set up, please drop her digit as elders suggested and let us disturb her sleep.

Nah.
Let the sleeping dog lie bro.

mrjaydee:

[color=royalblue]Donfortunate48.

I no know why this your story dey make me laugh, but I thank the Lord for your victory.

LASTMA wan use your earnings take run Val

In my own opinion, next time, when you're trying to pick someone from a dangerous point, make sure they have already gotten to the agreed point before you move. In fact, make she call you say she Don dey there, before you start your car

If Na me, I go tell her to walk back into Kakawa street, or make she call me when she reach Fire service for front.

Ndo! [/color]

Baba I truly believe what they're saying that it's a setup. Cos all that while that I was dragging with Lastma, this lady didn't call me to know where I am. But immediately I escaped, before I could reach Onikan under bridge, she started calling me again.

The kind abuse wey I give am suppose still dey touch her for heart now.

We learn everyday sha.

Romeo3:
That iron is for decoration. I climb it all the time.

Seriously.
I climbed that shit more than 8 times, yet nothing happened.

gnykelly:
I like your spirit... just stay away from CBD for like two weeks...those guys would be on the lookout for your plate number

I'll try and heed to this.

Something terrible and miraculous happened today guys.
@12pm.

I was at Oando filling station marina when this request came in.
Called rider, she said she's at the traffic light at CMS bus stop on marina. She was going to Aja.

I said okay, that she should pass the traffic light and move forward a bit so that I'll pick her up and zoom off to avoid Lastma and CBD men. She said okay.

I got there but couldn't see her, called her to know where she is, but she was just behaving like a novice.

All these while, I was equally looking out for the CBD and Lastma men, to know when to zoom off and run away.

Suddenly, a Sienna car stopped at my back so I couldn't see when Lastma might be coming again. Before I know what's happening, a Lastma van have blocked my front with over 10men in it. (some tax force were with them). the car at my back has gone by then.

I engaged reverse, but before I could move back all of them have jumped down, but I kept moving back and wanted to run away. They blocked me with their Iron, I climbed it with my two tyres(front and back), but the van blocked me. I engaged reverse again and tried to run from the right, they put that trap again I climbed it, but the van also blocked me.

If they block me on the right, cars will be passing from the left, when they block me on the left, cars will be passing from the right. This went on for over 2mins.

Over 4 of them started knocking on my glass and dragging my door to wind down and open my door, I kept telling them no, and was equally begging for them to allow me pass.

At a point I resorted to park, cos I was already causing serious traffic and they are already getting so angry with me. But then I remembered freshprince91's experience that he paid 20k, I just know that because of the stress I've already given them, my fine will be more than the 60k vio is collecting from uber drivers and decided not to give up till the break my glass and enter my car.

I tried to escape from the right, they blocked me again. I reversed and tried from the left, they also blocked me. I just raised my two hands up and said "okay I give up, I give up"; stirred fully to the right, but my gear is still on D and I was using style to observe the Lastma driver to know when to catch him off guard, while my hands are still up.

Immediately I noticed that he wasn't looking and cars are passing from the left. I just climbed the trap and sped through before he could realise and block me.

The crowd around there shouted in shock.
I matched my throttle to the carpet and zoom off.

I ran straight to VI, packed somewhere around bishop Oluwole, came down checked my tyres and my plate numbers; they're still intact, and I just Thanked my God.

Finally na madness them dey take cure madness for this Lagos.

Godfather10:
How do you replace your vehicle due to depreciation , I admire your tenacity living in America and still able to make a passive income in Nigeria.

My dear brother.
Please, is there any street in Gbagada called America?

Corolla virus.

topsydee007:
In Abuja ..u don't have problem with vio or frsc once your papers are complete.. but u see those AMAC touts .... they are pain in the ass


I have witnessed a scenerio where an Uber guy just parked and they went to remove his plate number said he's doing illegal taxi work in Abuja.

I Abuja...if u get request from any. AMAC plaza....don't go ooo...your car will be impounded ..... Painful thing...no one cares about u

When I was in Abuja last December, one Uber driver explained to me how he was impounded by AMAC, and was fined 25k. He was able to pay 20k and then sent the 25k receipt to Uber. Uber paid him 25k with serious apology mail.

Uber cares, but you see Bolt??..... That means you'll sleep there.

FabulousAutos:
More reason why l bought a jumper cable. My conscience wont let me rest if l ignored an opportunity to help a stranded fellow.

Your reward is on earth and in heaven.

pope191:
Boss its like u want to go for retraining

Lolzz.

If they block me, I'll switch to uber.
If uber block me, I'll reactivate bolt. If they block me the second time, I'll activate uber uber then follow your advice.

Babadee1900:
Surge still they bros but your rating and activity score will take a hit.

I just cancelled two Ikorodu trip on 1.5X and 2.0x.

Though I don't go Ikorodu online again.
It must be offline or you cancel.

I'll just allow you enter my car, then I will tell you to check your phone and see the estimate for that trip. I'll tell you to give me the money so we go offline.

pope191:
.

Rating is flying down!!

Any remedy please??

Today's traffic fit cause miscarriage oh!!

pope191:
Lol... Boss! Tot U've run away from d platform. I picked Genevieve today, not sure if I'm going to sleep

CEOs don't take uber, talk less of taking Bolt.

peeps4u:
Seems you stick mostly with uber? That's a good decision to reach 25 trips on time and enjoy 3% commission for the rest of the week.

I'm sure bolt have called him for Retraining.
