Abeg, what's up with Oga taxi. Do you get frequent requests?

Funny since I activated my taxify, I seem to be getting more request on taxify than uber which is kinda surprising to me.

I think general riders believe is that it's cheaper to use taxify than uber. Make dem hold onto that believe o. E dey sweet my belle.

This is becoming a norm for uber drivers. They don't switch on AC before picking rider, at d end AC won't cool well.

I'm riding with one as I type, My kids n I r sweating n he insist it's working.

No prob, low rating awaits him!

fire am 1 star

You for book offline trip with my Oga Carshopper,
he has over 20vehicles at his disposal

Hazards of the business.

As a rule I always ask customers to re-check if the left anything in the back seat.

A rider forgot a bunch of keys in the back of my vehicle,
when I was in lekki, and called when I was in ogba, i said she will pay for trip, both ways or I will drop the keys in uber office.

Easy ooo,madam with power of rating to destroy another man's source of livelihood . How many minutes was the wait time ? That he will keep running the engine with AC before you show up. You will have a stop over and he will keep running engine. Yet you was 35k weekly delivery as a partner. How will he make profit?

Is the ac per km ?

Nah so that our silver honda city driver come back after battery replacement say a/c no de chill as before, I asked him what happened, he said he got to pic up point, turned on a/c, 4 adults got into car and they were not comfortable so they asked him to end trip.

Car that was under sun for 2hours, you now carry 4 hot people plus your self and expect miracles? Better to keep the a/c running all the time, so the cabin stays cold.

If a driver with 1.3liter engine is offing a/c to save fuel can he make heaven?

This is wicked if you do so! You don’t need to spoil another man’s life even when you know the consequences of your action. The only thing I expect of you is advise him and move on. I take UBER most time and am always happy to rate 5atars with good comment cos that’s the only way to encourage them.
Though the purpose of the Uber rating system is to promote good driver behavior. Poorly rated drivers with dirty cars and bad attitudes are naturally flushed out of the system. But when I have a bad or even mediocre experience with a driver, I view the situation pragmatically by assessing the risk and reward by giving that driver a low rating but what good does it do me to give him a low rating? It will make him a little upset, I gain nothing.

GAZZUZZ:
I strongly disagree with you.

Do you know why some riders have a bad attitude towards most drivers? It's because of situations like this.

They have met with so many uncultured drivers with faulty vehicles and assume all of them are the same.

A driver with bad a/c should not be on a trip, he should fix it or paint his car yellow with black stripes.

The reason for the rating system is to remove the bad eggs from the system.

There is no sentiment attached to doing business on uber or taxify, there are certain standards that should be upheld.

Carshopper:
I really don't understand why they put off the ac or wait till they get to pick up point before they on Ac..

Omo see wahala oooo were I no know anything about....picked up a rider from a lounge in VI to Lekki 11pm Thursday on a card trip...got to d drop off ended d trip...almost immediately another request came in..from nearby the rider ended up telling me to cancel d trip...did a few trips and closed for d day...this morning around 8am got à call apperently from d same rider that she has been calling and i hav refused to pick that i only picked because she used another no...buttomline is that she said she forgot her wallet in my car and she had some foreign currency inside I was shocked when she started raining insults on me that I am...a thief meanwhile I never saw any wallet in the car to the best of my knowledge...she don call her brother to call me, him too don call me and they threaten me say he wld make sure I dont drive taxify again and that he knows Uche very well, also that he wld post my pics allover social media...meanwhile I record the call with all d threat...so am considering opening up a case against...the rider....but I want to inform taxify first...she claimed to have forgotten her wallet in my car around past 11pm...after drop off...I didn't see any call or message from that time till yesterday evening when she said she called and I didn't pick plus an SMS 9pm yesterday which I only read when she told me she sent SMS...any reasonable advice from d forum is welcome

Every driver has the way the run their business! So, you expect a driver to be running on AC for 30 - an hour while waiting for request? Some will do it and some won’t. it’s not economical.

I really need facts.. Is fuel consumption same when ac is on and off.. From my own understanding without ac consumes less fuel when u r not making any money while scouting for riders

protocol:
stop night work.90% of people u pick in d night are idiots. Start early close early

chillex8:
Make Una go move Lagos.
Leave rider wey wan rate 1 star alone.
Driver, you sef rate am 1 star..

Both of you will never cross paths on Uber.

Life goes on

The heavens won't come down.

P.S Why is no one blaming the car owner for fielding a defective car
Abi, na d driver spoil ac himself :PP

ridwanadedapo:
The fact that you are a driver and rating a driver like you low cos of AC wasn’t cold on arrival is unjustifiable.
Am saying this as a rider and a drivers perspective.

slamstanlee:
a good ac should cool up the car room within 2minutes. I usually put on my ac as i head to d pick up. Then engine and ac will be on for at least 3 minutes if i have to wait for the rider. Some riders are not ready before requesting and so take about 7-10 mins before coming out. What to do then; i out put off the engine till they enter the car.

Meanwhile no one has survived my ac at LO in the evening. At MID in the afternoon, it will cool and dry ur face unless u adjust the vent away. Except in those very hot afternoon i put it at MID-HI. Very chill. Thanks to my ac man!

Speaking about Uber, I don't actually loke to use their service. I've been using car renting service instead, last time I was in Europe and used http://ukr-prokat.com/en/ there. They have pretty good price, so there is no need to use taxi.

Bnenzzy101:
what car do u use and what kind of ac gas u use. Can we meet ur ac man? I want a freezer for an ac
