Lolzz, that thing dey pain.
Do you drive with one hand like me? It can cause it

Yes mostly with my right

On 1.1 surge. I got #3,500 instead of #3,900

Taxify is just so useless. At times one earns about the same thing after commission on Uber (with Uber on 25% o)

izzou:
Try and rest bros. This work no easy

In case you need trips to chop bonus, I fit dash you my own. I no get strength today.

I dey rest wella o...just started working yesterday for the week. Uber wan force me rest today as I no go offline up to 6 hours from last nite till this morning...I switched to taxifire
As for the bonus, I go need like 10trips from you

emmancecute:
try having a good massage.

OK will do...thanks

House, please who can recommend a drug I can take for ache. My shoulder has been paining me for weeks now. I believe it is due to steering car upandan

BAZ001:
Guess what!!!
I go rest for Land bridge Avenue dt shoprite road.
As I come online, request came immediately
Guess destination ?
- SHOPRITE
Rider asking if I'm coming, I begin stammer
Oh no not Againnnn
Na village people or na my positioning
I need ikorodu trips right now or Akute b4 dem use 308 trips finish my fuel

Ndo
You can use destination trip

The tips go dey make sense

Na so Uber sama me with 0% commission this morning from 1st trip. Last worked on Sat last week. Na long trips I dey pray for now.
Uber for president...lol

Why do some riders behave like poor people. Fare was #975 and you wanted to collect #25. I gave you #20 and you asked for #5 saying change is one of drivers' tools. So drivers should be carrying all denominations about abi. And if the fare was #925 and I collected #900, she wouldn't complain abi!
She even complained of high fare, maybe Ojodu to Opebi should be #600

That team can not make heaven sir. I dont want to derail this thread anylonger. Lolz i dey vex

Sowie Arsenal fans!

You guys should be prepared for tomorrow traffic and road closures. Next level man is coming to commission unfinished projects as usual.

I don tire for this country

nitigriti:
I can't go beyond 120 on any Japanese sedan. SUV, for sure. But give me a German car - a Mercedes Benz or a Volkswagen - that I know has been well maintained, I will reach 180.

I no go pick dem village people call.

Benz na something else o. The brake can tell Village people to shut up!

julietromeo:
Short trip is needed at times. Especially when you are targeting taxiscam bonus or you want to do your first 15 trips on uber and qualify for their 0% service fee. I did mostly short 15 trips yesterday and qualified for the incentive very early this morning.

You're very lucky. The counter doesn't show on my app. I was discouraged to work on Sun as after completing 17 trips on Sat, I still didn't get the 0% notification throughout on Sun

GforGee:
Again, I disagree. If you read where this was coming from, then you'd understand better.
And your example; advising someone against abortion? Him dey craze, na him put am there, why the guy come become pastor instead of driver begin dey preach against abortion?

Lastly, I've had an extremely terrible ride with a man's wife before where the man was calling and shouting and threatening to report me to uber (he did actually, gave me 1 star and left a bad review). But I didn't get banned. In the light of this, please let us make this job a respectable one for ourselves, this platform was created to share experience not to condemn someone's way of running his business. Blessings sir, and tons of back to back trips

Please share your experience about this matter

Rubbiish:
I believe u must have used okada and keke napep, do u show them any respect? How many times have u greeted an okada man or keke rider old enough to be your father before mounting bike? What kind of respect do u show to them because u didn't buy d bike, fuel and do maintenance for them? I am not saying Uber riders maintain same job status with okada riders, but if someone is paying for a service, i think respect should be d least of your worries attending to them. As long as they did not insult u.

OP was referring to the tone with which the rider spoke to him (he said rider was rude). He's not particular about greeting. Greeting is nothing as far as I'm concerned. I always greet but if I get no response, no problem, I just face front & drive.

iyaegin:
This is not true..i monitor my ratings and a 1 star rating will NEVER drop you below 0.01 otherwise you case is critical with multiple 1 star ratings so you can only have dropped from 4.80 to 4.79 no more definitely not 5 to 4.7...thats exaggerated..

It can be discouraging getting the 1 star cos it takes about 5-10 5star rating to rise again by same 0.1

You can't compare a driver with many trips with one that just did few trips na. You understand how the GPA of a 100level student that just wrote few exams will be affected by scoring 40 in a course compared to a 400level student

Hello Taxity/Uber drivers.

Presently working on a project and your input is needed.

Working on a Fuel credit card for uber and Taxify drivers.

This card will allow you buy fuel on credit from specified stations. For a start, all drivers will have access to N5,000 fuel credit on their card. This amount is increased as the driver pays back.

My question"

1) As a driver, will you want to use the card? Yes if I can have access to multiple/different filling stations, for example I can buy from any (combination) of Hyden, Enyo, Mobil and North West
2) If repayment for a N5000 fuel is N5,350 for a 7days repayment, will you use the card? I'm not sure I would agree to use card cos of the extra cost
3) If there is a promo rewarding you with a N750 call card for using N20k fuel in a week, will you want to use the card? Sure everyone likes a bonus or incentive


Your input will be appreciated.
Thanks

Wow...see reply above

bot101:
Good day guys, I have been following posts here in recent times and looking to become an Uber/Taxify partner. I am planning to buy a Nigerian used Honda Accord 2004 model, employ the services of an Uber/Taxify driver, and collect 25k - 30k weekly. I don't know how feasible this would be as I have zero experience with running a ride sharing business. I need your advice on whether to continue or find something else to put my funds into. I'll create a topic and repost this there to avoid distractions, thanks.

Update: Thread created!!

I think you read but didn't understand many things. Honda Accord is not the best car for the biz as it comes with a big engine as well as its maintainance issues. Better to get a car with 1.8 ltr or less engine. If you must get the accord, then you must be driving yourselves or ready for drivers to price rentals to 20k - 25k.

Lol convenant christain centre was just opposite that abebe village road beside national theatre

I believe he more like did it cos of the way the rider spoke to him. He would have thought twice as it was a 1.2 surge trip

izzou:


I did three back to back card trips yesterday. And all of them passed through the Ikoyi toll

Very annoying but comforting

It can be more annoying if the trip fare is just #700 (excluding toll)

pope191:
Boss u r not getting it, you won't even get to hear a sound or see display on your phone. I just saw another one now dropping my activity scores without even noticing anything last night

I get it very well. WiFi connection reduces the rate of the experience. Just try it

mistadayo:
9mobile... data usage with same phone

I would advise you get a mifi or if you have another phone that you can be using its hotspot, it's cool.
I have a small 4G phone that I use as mifi (using its hotspot). It surely helps as the only times I got 'drivers did not respond were either that I didn't respond intentionally or phone's screen touch issue.

ofime123:
Have been using Airtel 4g lite ever since and I don't Have problem with it

I use Airtel & MTN now... they are OK. Just that using WiFi helps quells 'Driver did not respond' on Taxify. It somehow boosts the network

izzou:
Maybe we should just combine our results and send them a mail

Make them pay us 4k. We go share am 2k each

Abi...

izzou:
I tried too

You really did o. It's a case of one had what the other needed between you & me.

QuitNotice:
Your phone

The truth is there are some recommended phones that are relatively cheap but they are not common in Nigeria

Chop your bonus. I tried my best! Taxify request just dey scarce in Ikoyi & Lekki for afternoon

mistadayo:
9mobile... data usage with same phone

With Taxify, WiFi works much better. Etisalat is probably the best network in Naija, I recently stopped using it though because it is too expensive.

mistadayo:
Taxify at it again

Sorry...taxify is really bad but data network can make it worse.
What network are you using? Do you use WiFi connection or data usage with same phone?

Examples of how drivers' are rated

itguy1:
Its a normal thing to do
You don't need to break ur glass because of key. If u can't do it then get a rewire, they sabi well well. Just make sure u have evidence that nah u park the car cos pple fit raise alarm while seeing u do that

Didn't know a rewire could do such. I thought it was a panel beater's job
