that's the.only way to establish a street-tax regime. uber/bolt will continue dodging for as long as they can if all they're getting is written requests. and the objective is to milk them, not to stop them from working altogether like opay/gomax

they feel the heat better if its applied from the streets.
So we are no longer in a civilization society anymore.. So Lagos government has now turn to touts and area father behavior.... Smh .... Banana Republic of Nigeria indeed...
So by milking them via VIO and other means, how much of that milk money does the government get via street method..... Smh

The events beclouding the last 10pages here makes me wonder if truly... More than half of the ehailing drivers are actually graduates.


Spits!
Including you...... The issue that you fail to understand is that. Does it make sense to you the way Lagos state government is going about the issue with uber? Dont you think is better for them to deal with Uber directly ,than using VIO to clamp down on drivers .. Dont you think that by directing the issue with uber directly will get them the necessary extortion money they are seeking...

And how much of that money or fines that VIO's and others are collecting from uber drivers actually goes into the government account ? Did you even think about that at all ... bottom line let the government go after Uber and fine them or close down their offices ... so you think in your educated graduate mind this how a sane government works ......smh

i doubt if you have ever step foot at the airport before talkless of living in america, i didnt say you should write down states, i want to where you live in the US and most of the states you mentioned need permits for uber drivers

pls stop misinforming the public.

and who talked about hackney permit in the states??) learn to comprehend.
My Point to you babe calm down for a second... in New York which u were correct . You need a TLC license to be an uber driver , but in other states or cities those requirements are not there. When you look at the states that I mentioned .. To be an uber driver is easy as 1,2,3 their requirements are basic ,driver license, proof of insurance, type of car 4doors , etc you don't need to go and get additional license.. That is what am trying to explain to you ..maybe I didnt get my point across .
The debate that we had early on is that. You said uber drivers are like taxi and as such they should operate like by getting hackey permits. Like u prove to me u said new York State requires uber drivers to get permit like TLC lincense .. The TLC permit is for cab drivers or limo drivers etc . And I said that in other states you don't need to go through all that .. You have to understand that in each cities and states in USA have different regulation. But most states are much very easy to drive ,meaning no need to go and get any additional license to operate as a uber driver. As long as you have the basic requirements like driver license, Auto insurance, sedan , etc

which state do you live in? lets know, almost all info are on the net

Uber operates in a very regulated market in the US, in states where uber do not have a license to operate they are banned, as for drivers, they are expected to comply with states law and regulations and must get necessary permits to operate.

In new york city, police can clamp down on uber drivers who do not have the necessary permit to operate

My question to you

can you drive in most Us cities as a private or commercial drivers without the necessary document, woudnt you be arrested as an individual for breaking the law, the same way the lagos state traffic officials are clamping down on drivers who do not have the right documentation, is the same the NYPD will clamp down on drivers who also do not the right papers

this is a faceless forum, you can go under a moniker and abuse as you like, call me names but in reality, many of your types, wont hesitate to call me MA or answer with Yes ma when you know your salary is at stake.

I see all these type of men everyday, they beat their chest daily on the street, act rude to you but act very humble in the office especially when they understand that their means of livelihood is in my hand.

Florida .... Atlanta, .....Alaska...... Rhode Island..... New Hampshire.... Delaware..... North Carolina, South Carolina
Hawaii..... New Mexico ......Arizona....... Las Vegas ......Texas.....And the list goes on and on... . And after doing few research. I came to conclusion that uber requirement differs from state to state .. But in most states requirements are easy and you don't need a hackey permit...

you are the misinformed one

who said uber drivers in the US need hackney permit, different states in the US have different laws that uber follows, in california for instance, there is the AB 5 that requires uber and others to treat drivers as employees

Now back to your misinformation and ignorance, in New york city, uber drivers get special license from the TLC (New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission) to drive with Uber.

pls check this info before you start spreading false news

https://www.uber.com/us/en/drive/new-york/get-a-license/
Well in my own state you don't need any form of permit to be an uber driver.. So each state might be different and am sure only a handful of state requires any form of permit to be an uber driver..
Back to the naija issue .. If Lagos has an issue with uber, they should take it with uber directly and not use gorilla style tactics. Since you are comparing New York form of operations to Lagos , meaning that in New York you need special permit.. Now if uber does not comply to the New York State laws, does that mean that New York road safety board will starting asking police officers to clamp down on drivers and ask if they do uber or have permit to operate uber ....ask yourself that.... Is that possible.. Imaging New York finest chasing down uber drivers and asking for their permit on 5th avenue... lol...
Still Lagos is operating like a Banana Republic ,if any issues at all with uber, they need to take it up with uber directly via court or proper channels.. Anything short of that is a extortion and shake down

no reasonable questions have been thrown at me except how do you know uber drivers? i find the question hilarious because it makes no sense

everyday, uber drivers cars are been impounded by different agencies in lagos state, so how did the respective agencies get these drivers and their cars?

Mr, nobody cares if Uber drivers have complete particulars or not, the main issue is uber deceit not to have a license to operate in the state. Uber has no intention of doing the right thing, even though they knoww the law, they keep selling stories instead of doing the right thing.

as i have written, we can argue from now till next year, the law is the law, before you can operate a taxis service, you must have permit and license to operate,

even in NYC city, Uber has a license to operate and uber drivers get special license from the TLC (Taxi and Limousine Commission) to drive with Uber.

as someone wrote that i am part of the banana republic, why is uber obeying the law in NYc but cant obey the law in lagos state

Lasly, when you get your hackney permit be ready to change your plate to red.
You are so misinformed.. Uber drivers in the USA do not need a special lincense or hackey permit to drive o .. You are missed informed.. It seems to me either an driver do u wrong or uber blocked you either as a customer or driver .. And you are bend by all means to take revenge.

you are the blind one for not been able to see how uber is structured not to obey Lagos state laws

Uber has no license so what should lagos state revoke, Uber came with the intention of not getting a license so that they wont pay the right tax because of how they deceitfully sell their business model

if uber had gotten the necessary permit and licences, no body will be complaining today.
Young lady again, am sorry to say that you are a reflection of the Banana Republic of Lagos...I don't mean it as an insult.. Try to objective with me .. To start with it is not fully effective they way Lagos State is going about it . Using Vio to clamp down on Uber drivers will not bring in the revenue that Lagos government wants to extort.. Most of the fines that Vio are collecting will end up in their own pockets.. These VIO's are hungry and will just collect bribe from drivers instead of giving it to the state.
That been said, uber didnt just enter naija open shop and started their operations . They had to make some sort of agreement before starting their operation.. So the same government that gave them the green light to operate, should be able to revoke them directly without sorting to blackmail via harassing drivers up and down . Dont u think that Lagos government should just give court order and close down uber office until the issue is resolve? And why now , things should have been put in place before uber started operating their business in Lagos....
This is the reason why I think this whole issue is a hoax to begin with. And if it is not a hoax ,than we have a bunch of monkeys controlling the zoo called Lagos State..

My Point is again .. If their is an issue at all, Lagos government should close down uber company . Instead of running wild using VIO to enforce their meaningless law....

My brother she is crazy, instead of her to attack Lagos government for their incompetence.. The fact remains if Lagos government feels uber has broken agreement or law than their license should be revoke ....So VIO will now be chasing motorist up and down to check for their uber status .. When they can easily just revoke their lincense

I have followed this argument keenly, even though you made few points but calling my brother that sort of name is disgusting .
Some high profile UBA Officials were disengaged some weeks ago. Well read, vast and well travelled amongst them also fell victim, he lives on my street at Ikosi ketu but because he wouldn't just sit and brood his life away, he's driving his Toyota Camry 2007 on Uber till fate smiles on him again.
People like Pope have been on this thread for quite some time, updating and reaching out to people who's been struggling with the hustle, so you watch what you say to him.
My brother I dont see any point she made o.. The only point I see is that she is a reflection of the lawlessness of the state she is govern by ' Banana Republic of Lagos' . The point that should be made is why did Lagos government give uber license to operate, if certain conditions are not meant to begin with? Why can't Lagos government go after uber directly, instead of harassing motorist up and down ?

Are you even a uber driver, you cant be angueing all day online full time and riding uber at the same time, it is impossible

someone of your type and caliber and mentality cant make 100k even if put in a profitable business.
All these your post about Uber.. You are not making sense at all .. You are equally as blind as the government. The Lagos government should have iron all these things before giving uber license to operate.. All I see here is nothing but extortion by few at the top.. If the government feels that Uber has broken the law or not complying than Lagos government should revoke their license instead of harassing people left and right.... So Vio will now be stopping any car that has a smart phone or Corolla or any cars that looks like uber ...instead of them sort out there issue with uber directly.. You have now become a reflection of the total disorganization of the state that governs you..

You now become part of the Banana Republic of Lagos State.. Instead of you to be objective by stating that the government should revoke uber license or should not have given uber license if certain requirements are not meant .. So what Vio are doing now is it effective at all?
