An interesting read following the recent discussion on the thread about an online database for vehicle replacement parts. I might as well weigh in my thoughts:

1. I noticed no one spoke from the point of view of the customer! Which I found amazing. It doesn't matter how cool or dope a product is, if the customers can't access it, you are just wasting your time. For example, for the database in question, the customers are repair shops and automotive engineers; not car owners. How many of these automotive engineers are savvy enough to use a sophisticated database as proposed? Maybe 2%. Of these 2%, how many will actually be convinced enough to use? An example; I happen to know Gazzuzz is a very hands-on Automotive Engineer. He loves combing through Ladipo warehouses as he searches for tokunbo replacement parts for his clients. I can bet #20,000 that he would have it no other way - database or not. Same for DMechyy.

2. Also, do you guys think an Igbo man in Ladipo will open up his warehouse so you can catalog his inventory? Like who does that? Inventory is a competitive advantage, and no Igbo man will ever ever open up his warehouse for you to now start counting and labeling his goods for him.

My thoughts; apologies for my lengthy post.

But bad car wasn't the only thing he mentioned, like he said how you deal with riders also matter.
In fact that should be the number one thing to take seriously, I have seen guys that uses bad cars that ordinarily they would have been yanked off the platform but how they kept going remains a mystery.
I have a friend that anytime I see him the first question that will pop out of my mouth is how do even cope with riders with this your car? Don't they rate you low or won't they block you?
grin
Approach is the key, in these your cases don't you think you could have done better or handle it better?

So sorry for your ordeal bro. When you come back online, note the following tips. We've shared it before, but for your sake lemme type again.

Please note that this works for me and my least rating was 4.74. Present rating is 4.98. Activity 96%.

1. Always ACCEPT ALL TRIPS even when you don't intend going on the trip due to distance or pick-up location or destination. Just accept. If you don't intend going, and the rider refused to cancel, just slide arrive and wait till it starts reading PAID WAITING. It's usually 5mins. But someone said it's 3mins. Me, I cancel when paid waiting starts. And you should be good.

2. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR CAR CLEAN. After every ride, tilt your head towards the back seat to see if the previous rider littered or dropped anything. If you have to park to dust your carpet for sand or litter and dust your seats, please do it. The 60secs you spend in cleaning your car would pay in the long run. For a little extra, have a can of a nice air freshener in your car which you can spray occasionally to keep your car smelling fresh, that's if you don't have those block air fresheners.

3. Keep your car in good condition. AC cooling, suspension noice etc should be in check.

4. Be polite. The Good morning or afternoon or evening you greet a rider when he/she enters your car would not kill you. You don't need to wait for them to greet you when they enter your car. Have a good day (MORNING) or Enjoy the rest of your day (AFTERNOON - EVENING) or Have a good night (NIGHT) are good ways to part ways with your rider. You don't need to ask them to rate you.

5. DON'T FIGHT WITH YOUR RIDER. This one can't be overemphasized enough. Truth is, there are times a rider would piss you off. Just take it in good stride. No rider would go with you to your house, so worst case scenario, you'll spend a couple of hours with them. Just tolerate them.

6. Abeg these ones don do. Follow these ones and you should be fine.
Thank you so much. You know what you are doing.

There we go again. A divided house.
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by nitigriti(m): 12:45pm On Dec 22, 2020
This house is so divided, which is rather unfortunate.

Adversity (our shared pain, as e-hailing drivers) was supposed to bring us together. Rather, it has further thrown us apart to the extent that I can count as many as four different factions in this house.

How do we even begin to make amends? How are we supposed to help each other like this? To what end does this thread exist? For our prides? For our egos? Or as a union of like-minded fellows interested in lifting each other up?

What exactly are we doing here?

Please you need to take down those YouTube videos - the first one, and the second one immediately. Don't endanger your life to prove a point. Please.

I don't think Nigeria is ripe for gun ownership yet. Not with the tantrums we pull off on our roads. I will give an example I witnessed on Herbert Macaulay, driving to work. There was this young guy driving a Mercedes Benz. He was dragging road with a Danfo driver. One way or the other, the Danfo driver overtook him. Then traffic light turned red and everyone had to stop. This guy came down from his car with koboko and started flogging the driver. In less than a minute, driver had welts on his arms ( he used them to protect his face). People around noticed what was going on and decided to fight the injustice they were witnessing. They converged on the Benz owner and wanted to beat him up too. The Danfo driver too came down and began to para. And no be small para. Thankfully, policemen intervened.

Imagine if one or two people in the crowd had weapons. Or the Benz or Danfo driver.

To the bolded..

- I agree with you, it would be better to have it in December

- If you drive full time, then you will know that Thursday afternoon is one of the best periods a driver can afford to spare, and anytime on a Saturday/Sunday is a No No

- Don't be sure on her behalf grin Let her say so if it is so

- Drinking alcohol? What difference would their presence make if it is water they're drinking. This is stigmatization grin

My opinion too, The last day of year 2020 is a Thursday, what's better than capping the year off on the last day
@bolded I completely agree.

Update on the get together!!

From popular demand, and suggestions garnered through all channels, I am here to inform y'all that the get together has been Postponed to Thursday, January 21st, 2021. The Venue still remained Jamrock Cuisine, lekki -Epe expressway after Elaganza bus stop when coming from the Mainland.

The shift of date was necessitated because of activities lined up for almost everyone of us taking cognizance of persons traveling this week and the wedding ceremony of one of us (Bishop). And again, the thirst for surge cannot be dampened whatsoever.

The organisers pleadingly seek everyone's advantage before this conclusion was reached and we together we can do to this.

The account is still open and the fee for food alone is 1,800. Please pay up so we can all do things together.

Hoping this meets you well.... We move!
Hello guys, the idea behind "Meeting and Greeting" is for us to "cap" or "finish" the year together with merriment and banters. If 20th December was no longer feasible, there are still 11 other days in December before the year ends. In my little understanding, the "meet and greet" is actually an "end-of-the-year" get-together for thread members and fans. Why would we be having a "meet and greet" in January, three weeks into the new year? And on a Thursday too? How about those of us that will be at work? How about drivers that would be on the road trying to meet their targets? Do we honestly think a driver under rental will be able to spare 2 hours for food and banter on a Thursday afternoon in January (winter month)? And are we thinking about the restaurant? I know Aunty RadAutoWorks is nice, but I'm sure she wouldn't be pleased with the potential disruption to her business when 30 or so Uber drivers and fans show between 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm on a Thursday afternoon, merrying, bantering and drinking alcohol.

I would suggest we chose another date in December. Aunty RadAutoWorks has graciously granted us the use of her restaurant, so Sunday, 27th December is another good date. This is surge season for e-hailing drivers. Any driver will find it easy to unwind for an hour or two and then hit the roads back, confident that he will still exceed his target for the day.

My 2 kobo sha. I post in peace.

Uber made big promises in Kenya. Drivers say it's ruined their lives.
At first, work as an Uber driver seemed to offer Harrison Munala everything he'd hoped for when he moved from a town in the western part of Kenya to its capital, Nairobi.

"I felt like I made it in life," he said. Four years later, remembering those dreams makes him grimace. Uber slashed its fares — and Munala's income. He fell behind on his rent. He, his wife and their three children were evicted from their home in August.

"When you have a family to feed, kids to pay school fees for, rents to pay, a loan to pay and your work is too much and exploitative, what happens?" he said.

The Uber business model values high rates of driver/rider transactions to increase the company's overall valuation by saturating markets with Uber, Orlando said.

The company is not built to make money off rides; it is built, Huber Horan, a transportation expert, alleged in a 2019 article in the public policy journal American Affairs, "to eliminate all meaningful competition and then profit from this quasi-monopoly power."

That meant attracting drivers and cutting costs — an unsustainable structure for workers, she said.

"Every week, the sub-Saharan Africa team had a call to review the figures in the key performance indicator (KPI) tracker," Orlando said. "The primary metric used to assess the growth and success of a city was the number of trips, as opposed to revenues or profits. So there was every incentive to drive prices as low as possible."

Can someone please help calculate the expected amount for a trip that took 64 minutes over a distance of 21.9km. Bolt arrived at N2500 but I somehow think it should be more.
Start: #220.00
Distance: 21.9km x #67/km = #1,467.30
Time: 64 minutes x #11/minute = #704.00

Total = #2,391.30
There is probably some wait time.

Bolt's calculation is kwaret.

Bro you seem to be moving from 1 car to another for this uber. You started off with a Benz, than a sunny datsun ,than to Corolla and than to Benz again .. From personal experience I think it is better to just stick 1 car or find 1 car that will work well .. .Jumping ships from 1 car to another is not cost effective.. I only jump ship once. I went from Elantra 07 to 08 to Honda civic 03 to 05 . And that is what am sticking to now .. And the only reason I jump ship is to be cost effective and adjust to the business environment...

Jus call him now and liase with him.
He's still giving conditions. Like the driver has the power to block and unblock his account.

Really, there's nothing wrong in what the driver did. He's simply rendering a service!

When I was an e-hailing driver, I used to do it and I didn't feel anyhow about it. I know countless times in the airport that I will go and meet rider at the terminal and collect the luggage and wheel all the way to the car park. It's a mindset thing. It's just a job.

Honestly, what part of "Don't accept bank transfers" is hard to understand? Here's how I used to do it in those days:
Me: I'm ending your trip now. Here is it - your fare is #5,000.

Rider: Ok. [Brings out phone]. Give me your account number, let me transfer to you.

Me: Aahhh, I'm sorry, I can't use my account. Some yahoo boys have hacked it. I lost my phone 2 weeks ago. I'm sure that's what they used. They stole #50,000 from the account.

Rider: Oh, sorry about that. So what do we do now?

Me: We can use an ATM around. It won't take us up to 5 minutes. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Brother, please give them the #10,000 and be on your way. Trust me, you can't win this one in any court. Airport zone is strictly "No Stopping" "No Waiting" "No Parking" zone. It is like that for security purposes.

I'm wondering why drivers are not taking advantage of the app.

From my analysis, I can work 10 hours in a day and gross #15,000 on a really slow day, #20,000 on a normal day and #25,000 on weekends. I can see the rider's pickup point, I can see the rider's destination; and I have google maps.

My "grosses" are sure!

Your opinion is needed please....
It is not your duty to fix a car you are renting. If the car is not okay for e-hailing and weekly remittance the same hour you pick it up, then don't bother yourself at all.

Let me use two of my previous partners as examples. I remember one gave me #5,000 cash to buy fuel in the car to start off. The other was a fleet Management company. The day I went to pick the car, the fuel tank was full, plus I had two free days to drive and report any faults before I started remitting.
