na wa for them sha. Uber only sent a warning mail to me when I rejected a trip but wasn't blocked.
I wished I could see the rider at that moment. Is it by force to go to your destination?
Imagine being in a no boost zone and yet your destination is also a no boost zone.

Tgiirl:
They meant to say accepted excess numbers of card trips.. Cos Taxify don't like crediting bank accs

frugal:

chucsmoore:
Taxify rocks! 2 trips of 11800 + 8100 = N21,900

I saw u at fola osibo, lekki phase1 some time last week, you came to pick a rider, at same location as me, I was inside my EOD observing you,
ur iphone just confirmed it was you.
Also how do you manage with ur iphone, my own gets hot anytime I put on my Uber app, then gets really hot if the both app are on the same time, till it goes off, then I will have to wait for it to cool down before it will come up again, because of that I hardly use it for the job, buh am always with it coz it gives me prestige, some riders that think they are beta than you bcoz dey requested for a ride, they quickly change there attitude immediately they enter my car. packaging matas

This is a loonnngg read but reality to our everyday experience on Uber/Taxify. Pls enjoy as you read along.



Once upon a time there was a young woman who believed in fairy tales named Alice. She had read a whopper of a tale, something about how the average Uber driver in NYC makes $90,000 per year, and how easy and fun it was to make “great money” during her free time. She doesn’t live in NYC, but her city is pretty big and there are a lot of college students who don’t own cars there. She decided to try it out.


Down the rabbit hole

Alice’s vehicle was 18 years old and did not qualify for Uber, so she decided to buy a ‘more recent’ vehicle. But Alice is no dummy, she knew that if she went to a used car dealership that they would talk her into some piece of overpriced junk. So instead she went to a new car dealership with the intention of buying a used car. After all, a new car dealership is more honest, right?

The salesman was a really nice guy, who had a terrific handshake and nodded his head a lot. It appeared that he really cared for her and wanted to do everything in his power to make her happy. Not at all what she expected from a car salesman! When she told him that she was buying the car to do Uber, he got real excited. He said he was thinking about doing it himself, what a fantastic way to make some extra money! He told her that if she wanted to do it right she should get a new vehicle, it would come with a warranty, and that it would (obviously) be free from any hidden mechanical defects that used cars sometimes have, and that he could get the payments down to under $350 per month for her because her credit is so outstanding.

Alice figures that with a new car, customers were likely to be more impressed, and with the extra tips that she would get she would pay it off in no time. She hasn’t ever tipped a driver herself, but is positive that everyone else on the planet does, so she should be fine!

Alice bought a new car. She was ready for her great Uber adventure!


The Walrus and the Carpenter

On her first day out Alice asked herself, Where should I go to make the most money? The first thought that popped into her head was the airport. After all, there are planes landing all the time, and when you get a ride it is always a big one, right?

Alice had been told by most of her past Uber drivers that the airport is a horrible place to go. But Alice is human, and humans have to find out for themselves that the stove really is hot even though mommy and daddy said don’t touch. Alice promptly drove to the airport holding lot, then turned on her app. And waited.

Guys let's drive with caution especially at night. Nobody can cheat nature, we need to rest very well.

Vuso:
Talking about Ikoyi... here's my experience yesterday afternoon
Guys let's be careful where we park while waiting for request, I parked somewhere at cameron street off mobolaji Johnson ikoyi at my normal parking spot o to receive call n hiss myself! B4 I even urinate dis towing guys just speed towards me, I quickly entered my car n thank God for James Bond n Jason statham movies, I speedily reverse. They followed me n one of dem said I should wait, they just want to tell me in case of next time.i put gear for drive n race as if I want to clear the guy, he run comot... After I drove off I gave them middle finger.hungry looking men want to chop my money for that scorching sun yesterday...Lol

Gentlelife50:
Na so my brother, I eventually got one just done with it. #3700, I can't come and kill myself Jare.

You too like Ikoyi self, I done roam mande and Anthony tire no request,
am busy getting request at the other side of the road, I done watch 3 episodes of a series am watching and still no request since 3pm, not worried there's always tomoro

toomush:
Making sense earnings, I don't know how you guys do it.

My earnings today

Newbie tho

You probably did not go tru the thread very well, anyway let me answer ur question.
1. Pray hard before you leave ur house and starting of trips

1.1 Start early: 4:30am get up and set destination.

2. Positioning: Example you can't stay inside mushin and expect island trip, you will get Festac and Ago. Ask Gentle will explain beta

3. Trip Chasing: You must ve heard us talking about about surge, yes chase it, one thing with surge is that even if it's gone when you got there, just hang around you must get trip, because some smart ass riders, won't request till the surge is over. One rider told me he has been requesting for the past two hours and canceling because he doesn't want surge trip, stingy guy doesn't want drivers to smile. On that note chase wisely some are not worth it.

4: Pepe and Salt: ask the taxiappguy about it joking please don't come for me

5. Make friends: always try to keep in contact with some nice riders, I have this lady I take to her office every morning at V.i

6. Stanley this space is for you

7. Romeo

8. Chuck

9.Gentle

9.1 Tgirl

10. Always keep contact with ur follow drivers, they will teach you there own tweaks they use, we learn everyday, that's why some of us are here everyday.

That said, some days are so bad you will probably prefer not coming out that day than come out and not get trips, or get useless trip

Would ve added Gazzuzz buh he doesn't river anymore , I remember when he told us he made, 7k from 7pm to 11pm, that made me seat up

Megadrop:
Bros, most times the surge na scam and mirage. Atimes, they intentionally create the surge themselves not as a result of high demand. Areas you are very sure of real surge is V.I and environs at the close of work or mainland weekends. How can Abule ijesha be surging 24hrs of the day even when you know the area very well and you are positioned there yet you will see nothing.

deedee44:
Do you drive with razor blade sir?

frugal:
The Isaac guy should be sued for libel. He'll know not to spread false information ever again.

barakath:
How can i know my reference number on taxify

Megadrop:
Chai, sorry bro its one of things you see as you journey through this business and it makes you stronger. University road is a very bad place to park and wait for request cos those idiots parading that axis, next time you find yourself there enter Unilag, Abule oja(not through the one way o), or the streets linking st Dominics church you will definitely see request there.

mazinaija:
central lock would have saved you this stress.....

jayooh:
Always form the habit of locking your car doors. Where in University road?

lagostaxiguy:
So sorry about this bro, I'm surprised because there are several designated car parks along university road. Those guys are rogues

Gentlelife50:
The riders are just like their master, very annoying. Sorry jare.
