You really are ignorant. If uber strike drivers out, they migrate to other platforms. You do know Mr. Taxi is launching tomorrow or so right?

Let me educate you again because e be like say na cocout head you get.

Surge occurs when there are more riders than drivers within a geographical location.

Even the weather conditions is as a result of some drivers going offline, which results to few online drivers.

No time to dey monitor NNPC test or what not.

Demand and supply bro.

Oya say Thank you

Uber is an international brand ... whoever decides to take over can they be efficient as uber in terms of technology? Uber is also a Multi billion dollar company.. Millions are spend on the technology.. Technology is constantly changing and improving.. You need money to keep up

People with this 'God punish you' mentality

OK let me come down to your level so you can understand how this thing works

Keyword: Activity Score

- Bolt/uber sends you a trip and you see the rating of the rider and decide to ignore it, Activity score takes a hit.

- A driver decides to cancels due to road or weather conditions or maybe the rider was rdue or whatever, Activity score screams.

- A rider refusing to cancel because he's feeling special and wants bolt/uber to strike you, thereby forcing the driver to cancel, Activity score cries.

Now, there's a threshold.

If the driver cancels too much, his activity score plummets and he/she is kicked off the platform.

If we have so many ignorant riders like you displaying machismo, a lot of drivers would be getting yanked off.

The the law of economics comes into play because we now have few drivers. What happens when the demand is more than the supply?

Yea, SURGE

So at the end of the day who actually pays for it?

Use your head bro.

Let love lead.

you think people change phone numbers just like that? i will change my phone no because of uber?
and what do you think all the sim card registration is about? tying your identity to a phone line.
it is really not that hard. al uber has to do is collaborate with the phone companies and inisist that only registered sims are used on their platforms

to take it further, when i made my report, i had to do a full registration. email etal. al uber has to do is make some benefits available to fully registered users.


this is the message they emailed me start of this week

it is not that hard

People that buy hundreds of sims just to vote on BBNAIJA?
They don't necessarily need to use their hotline to register on the platform. They can afford to change sim and accounts as they wish.

But they didn't implement this. So riders can still change accounts cheaply as they like.

radautoworks:


I still don't understand why people need multiple... I've had one for the last four years and definitely do NOT want and/or need another way for people to reach me!

thelastorca:


if I am not mistaken, the FG has given phone companies a deadline to get rid of sims not tied verified users. abuse of sims goes way beyond matters like bbnaija

unfortunately, Uber is probably doing it naija style - waiting for someone to get killed on their platform before they roll out policies that ensure all riders are properly identified.

I'm a very reasonable individual, I was online past 12am to work. This is business to me, so profitability is prioritized. The moment her request came in, I called and used ma all through my conversation even till the point I discovered the trip isn't gonna be profitable to me. I noticed the rudeness in conversation but decided to suck it up, Las Las na my money I go collect. The moment I told her the reason why I couldn't make the trip, She got even more aggravated and ended the call with a hiss. So, if I reply in same manner she did, I perfectly understand the context of her words.

when there is high demand within a vicinity? eg if there is an NNPC test in unilag, there will be a surge there at the end and at the beginning.

izzou:


Nobody is blaming the driver for rejecting her trip.... That's not the issue

The issue was how she called him a TAXI DRIVER and he responded by calling her a PROSTITUTE

HIGHESTPOPORI:
All these ur Mr nice guy to get that poco attention,at the end you will discover she is not worth it I bet you.

Are you serious?

izzou:


Are you serious?

pocohantas:


I know, just like women will say "poor man" or attack his manhood.

Let that kind thing remain in the "street".

Lol.

Na wa o

Which one be man enough to cancel a ride again?

The display of machismo at every given opportunity.

Why can’t you just cancel and book another ride instead of feeding your ego?

Kai! People!

Frankdamaxx:


So you feel the riders just book Uber because they are bored and like moving aimlessly around Lagos? A riders time and money is valuable. So I take offense when you say we don't have anything to lose.

As for the yellow taxi, you cant vex for them because you don't have any expectations of them coming to pick you rather you flag down or go to their locations. Uber promised us to expect the driver.

izzou:


Uber and Bolt have reasons for putting CASH and CARD as the only means of payment

I pray you don't meet people that will make you change your mind about transfers.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Very serious,if you were in his shoes at that time of the night and received such a text,who knows if u wouldn't have replied the text calling her,sisters,mother and future daughter the same thing.

Luxurydriverng:
What will you charge to onitsha return journey? One week stay with accommodation provided

BAZ001:


I want to assume most drivers don't look at the riders ratings again. Once I see u have a low rating and you are a lady, I will just prepare my mind, if your tune on d phone is somehow
I will either cancel without telling u or go their and ignore any insult.
I've dropped a unilag girl before with plenty loads in d booth and she said oga pls help me bring my bags to d house and she went inside.
I sat in d car for minutes not knowing what to do?
Las las I carry bag inside oh. Saw her gisting with her friends on bed.
Uber says I shouldn't do that, but did it for peace

blackfm:
Good people, anyone willing to do a drop off at Badagry on Sunday. Pickup is Magodo phase 2 in the afternoon.
Please reply this stating your charge as well

peeps4u:


I know, just as bolt came around, there are investors lurking around to break in as soon as uber leaves. The fact is that uber will not leave because they are here to make money and not doing anyone favour. They will always protect drivers/Riders interest.

peeps4u:
You did it for peace, which was good.

All depends on mood, at times on a certain day, you may not do that. Another driver may decide not to do that, that doesnt make the driver wrong also, but some riders will think it is wrong because some drivers do it.

That's why DRIVERS ARE THEIR OWN BOSSES.

A driver can reject/cancel trips if he doesnt want it, when he cancels to a level is when he gets banned and that is for UBER/bolt to decide, riders should know that

ndubuis:
There's no argument on this one. On Uber, if you ask a rider to cancel and he refuses. If you have enough time on your hands and pick up point is where you can drive or trek to, do it. Wait close to pick up point for additional five minutes from the wait time, cancel and leave. You get paid for it and the stubborn rider will have him or herself to blame. On another note, if I ask a rider to cancel, probably when it's a bit late and the rider gets charged for it, I instantly refund them without hesitation.

radautoworks:


I never expect Uber drivers to help me with bags because I know they are not chauffers. They are private individuals giving people rides for a fee. Overseas they don't help you with bags and we don't expect them to. Some nice ones do but it's not part of the job description. Rider's protect their ratings there because no one will come carry you. I suggest you guys start doing the same if you're not already doing so. Rating can be seen BEFORE accepting the trip
