Transportation business is total different from hiring. U pay upfront if u are to hire a car. And rentals is after usage.

Where did u hear that any type vehicle do pay upfront in this kind of business eg buses, tricycles, taxi on rentals pay at the end of each day, week or month.


Dont make it look like the upfront is the norms. When did u even start thinking of joining this business sef jjc

Got a request 3 minutes away from where I was, almost there when the person cancelled. Fortunately for me I got the number before the rider cancelled.
I called him he started explaining how the last driver was saying he can't go to ikorudu this night and was also complaining that it is a card trip.
I just end the call immediately and go offline before I get his request again.
You are going to ikorodu from ikoyi this night and using card too.
Hmmmmmm u go sleep for ikoyi toda

I am just tired of people that will request and feel it's the drivers' right to call. Got this request and the rider sent a number to call

julietromeo:
Welcome back to the streets. Saw ur update yesterday, hope you rested very well. The request is not as that bubbling but there are techniques to do short trips especially in the weekend.

Gentlelife50:
Was at Ikeja set destination to Ajah they gave me trip and say it's towards my destination only for me the person say he's going to ojota bus stop.

Epphy:
Thanks...I had to leave. Got to Ebute Meta before I could get a trip. Never will I go to Apapa again!

Was inside dolphin estate no request on both apps suddenly one entered I tap the screen immediately, saw 12 minutes.
I didn't bother myself after some time the rider called and ask their usual annoying question 'oga where are you'?
I replied good afternoon maa, she didn't respond and next she asked me why I accepted her request and didn't call her. I just kept my cool and asked her where she is, she said she is at Osborne foreshore.
I asked where is going to she said she is not going far that her destination is force road.
Me spend my time and fuel to turn round Lagos for that short trip, I was thinking of what to say so she will be angry and cancel the request.
I now said but maa there is no law that says the driver must be the one to call, that there is a reason my number is there.
Her anger increased as I can see from the way she was talking, she said every other driver come to her place from there.
In fact that she will cancel, I just smiled and waited for my fee.

sunnp:
Good day house, Pls help, my map is not working...i mean it not showing destination and also not show directions, hope it will not affect d trip fare..... From dopemu to agugi and then to airport, same with same rider

Dammyray:
How can you a driver rate your follow driver poorly...

You requested a ride for your client cause you on trip or for whatsoever reason. Thou you didn't experience the trip yourself. But the only thing that came to your mind is to rate the driver poorly.

I have nothing to say to you.

God bless you

brogxy:
See this rider, she thought she was dealing with a novice.
Me: please where are you going?
Rider: I have entered it on the app.
Me: I wouldn't ask if I can see it, and I have some places I don't go to.
Rider: you will get to know when you start and if you can't go, you can end the trip then.
See mumu.
Luckily for me, I got requests on both apps same time and took my time to ask for both destinations. Taxify to kofo abayomi, still not ok for me going to the island at the time of the day but the devil I can see is better that the one I can't see.
I was at costain when all these happened. Just went straight to pick the taxify rider going to island. I already knew she was going to where drivers don't like going

brogxy:
This can only happen on taxify. Imagine after waiting for 22min minus t the driving time to the pickup location, she came out to start taking pictures with her family. Had to call her attention to it the I have been here for more than 20mins, you should have done this before requesting for a ride.
Rider: can't I take pictures with my family, I am taking an international flight. AND YOU SAID YOU ARE DRIVING TAXIFY.
The bolded statement seems annoying cos they don't know the difference between a personal driver and a PAYG driver. So I must waste the whole day on an 8km trip because you have the mindset that you are paying money not minding the driver also came out to make MONEY. Time is money

Nurtay:
Anyone with any idea?

chucsmoore:
Camry muscle is not really that fuel consuming. I use average 2k fuel to do 8-10k on daily basis, 4K fuel to do 17-20k on a good day. The way people come here to exaggerate how fuel consuming Camry is baffles me a lot. It’s very close to Corolla. It’s just d tank is bigger

Tgiirl:
Drivers still dey sleep when surge full lekki




Imagine, only one car available to carry every one in phase one.


While there is no surge and many drivers awake on the mainland waiting for God to send request to them

News Flash:

One of the topmost international non-alcoholic bottling company has decided to jettison the practice of buying vehicles for their staff esp expats; staff have been instructed to patronize Uber/Taxify henceforth to commune from their various residences to the office & factories (in I...a & 7..).

E-hailers can stay around closing hours for quick pickup.

NO smart Investor on this platform will give you a car without a deposit.

Dwon:
Pls house I'm planning to hook up with a car owner @ #40,000\wk. The car is a corolla 2015 model and and he guaranties a place to stay at lekki(I am coming from Ibadan) pls is the deal ok? How much am I expecting\wk. how much will I be spending on fuel. Pls I have no experience on uber all advice will be appreciated.thanks

SpeedGod:
Beware of riders that insist you take routes close to the beach. Is like uber doesn't work well on that route and the riders know it. You will be disappointed with fare at the end of trip. If it is long trip terminating around there fine , not short trip going through bizarre route. Example going to Agungi from Ligali ayorinde VI using beach road. Going to Agungi from ilasan using shop rite way straight to end and turning right. Cheers!

baxton25:
The fear of lagos badagry express way is the beginning of wisdom....have been here for almost two hours just from trade fair to alakija.....stand still traffic.

They say you are not positioning well, maybe we will soon be using antenna

Tgiirl:
you ended the at Osborne by mistake abi. The next thing for you to do was to park at the nearest bus stop to let know she has to request again or pay an extra 1000 to the 2500 b4 u proceed to lekki since the toll fee and the distance to b cover are yet to be calculated

brogxy:
Will they expect me to go for this pickup

Stealth100:
Talking about festac, just dropped someone just before the link bridge. I told her I won't go over the bridge that she has to complete her journey with bike. After plenty agidi, she paid me and took bike.
Festac is not bad if you know your way around very well, if not, don't even dare.
Meanwhile, my first taxify trip in over 6hrs just dropped. Sigh!

Dammyray:
Who else is doing night vigil on Eko bridge with the truck drivers? ����

Before I go. Please how can I remove Festac & axis request from coming in. Uber and Taxify.
