naijacutee. your comment is inside my comment but yes. they fail to see and i have been trying to explain but i get called all kinds of names.... oh well.

official earnings are out....

where are my taxify crew? which of you made this amount this week?

una eye go dey clear small small....

Not bad! I do admire your strategic acumen. I think a lot of people are missing/overlooking the promotion loophole in place.

bigass:
No dont. it will increase the number of people running away from paying fares cc Romeo3

it wont. the general public already thinks that they pay 40% less so it is absurd that there will still be people who dont want to pay.

Stealth100:
Do you mind if I post this story on instablog on IG. It will help counter the increasing public perception that Uber/Taxify drivers fight their riders for no reason and to also show there are many cultured people left in the business.

if you desire.

and this is the payment reflection. ... it reflected as a promotion. so that chairman that asked that question this morning can see another example.

1152. the exact fare

have only done an early morning trip today. i dey rest. that explains the 4k

Uber has refunded me the exact amount. with sorry.

GAZZUZZ:
Pesin with short fuse no fit do this uber o!

you think i blame the taxify driver that slapped that woman the other day? there are some really uncultured girls that enter your car.

the demographics is this:

island boys in your uber = mostly nice

island girls in your uber = mostly rude... there are set of girls you will pick up with a rolls royce, wipe their feet, wipe their ass, and they will still rate you 1 star.

mainland boys = mostly rude

mainland girls = mostly nice

bigass:
If i were a driver, this can not happen with me Never!!!! I will collect my money full

lol. when uber has given riders power to rate you.

how many you wan fight. if they all rate you low you are in risk of being deactivated. so smile and leave and fight dirty to uber... na dem cause am

lol. my dashboard is full of complains. it is only once they havent refunded me so far.

bigass:
Tell us how did it happen

see screenshot above.

thats how one unilag boy took me round lagos in january and i was waiting for him at skye bank in unilag.

uber ended the trip after 2 hours and the boy absconded. i reported and was refunded extra 500 to make it 3800 for inconveniences.

so also another man and his family i drove to ikorodu last month for 5225. only for the man to tell me he has never paid more than 4200 for the journey and proceeded to give me 4200. ireported and was refunded.

the good thing is that uber refunds 3 of such complains within 15 days. so most times i get my money back.

the one of last night she didnt pay since last week monday. so i reported it all the same because i dont expect uber to do anything about it since it is over 3 days it happened.

bigass:
You mean some riders will request a ride and refuse to pay?? Unbelievable!!!

my dear sister. you no go believe. i just reported one just last night.

jayooh:
Looks good, but what top ups again? Promotions are already inserted so pls clarify.

Thanks

the promotions you are looking at are for cancellation fee and reimbursement for a rider who didnt pay her fare

this isnt the official earnings because i havent received my top ups, promotions and incentive... i am expecting it to get close to 140,000.

Jonsnow88:
. Romeo I'm planning on starting tomorrow with a 2008 camry. Any advice or any tips and what hotspots should i target. I live on the mainland

sure. will reply your mail soon.

Prince081:
Well-done. You are a fighter. With this attitude, you will go far.
How often do you service your car?

every 3 weeks or less. depends on the milage driven and oil life left.

GAZZUZZ:
1az 2.0liter. Have u ever driven 1? Fuel economy is bad

ok.

havent driven one but know someone who does. not on uber tho

GAZZUZZ:
capital NO toks or not. Reason fuel economy.

it's a 2.4liter engine. same engine in the camry. why cant it be used if a camry can be used?

bigass:
which network do you use

nigeria's best network etisalat

at the airport now.

bigass:
My friend wants to put a 2004 rav4 would that make sense?

if it's tokunbo, yes

bigass:
Which NNPC?

any one on a major road

bigass:
Bro you need to calm down down. The way you respond to critics is very bad. See my husband used to work for company who overuses him and pay over time each time he worked beyond official hours. He loved it because of the money. Now he got another job that pays him X2 of his former salary. He doesn't need to work overtime again.

* I dont work long hours daily.
* i am not obligated to work long hours. i work long hours when and if i feel like. i went offline yesterday by 4pm despite the fact that the whole of lagos was on a surge.
came online this afternoon. after almost 24 hrs

people use a lot of excuses to make up for their inadequacies. let me reply critics the way i deem fit, afterall, they criticize the way they deem fit. what is good for the goose.....

if they cannot take the heat, they have no business being in the kitchen in the first place.

happy for your husband.

Losami:
hi guys, please i am about to get a car for uber/taxify and i really don't know how it works. please can someone help out with details such as getting a good driver, how much would be paid into my account, what cost do i need to bare, is the maintenance of the car on me, what type of car and year should i get and what necessary documents i need and also which of the company should i register for (taxify or uber)

buy a toyota corolla.

get it registered.

get it comprehensively insured.

take the car for uber certification test

go to ubernigeria.com

register as a partner

upload your docs

then getting a driver is easy

pessimists would never get it.... wetin concern person with my personal time and how i choose to use my hours? you want to tell me how to drive my car and also how to live my life? these people are too funny.

my car goes for check up every 7 days. and the interior gets vacuumed 3 times a week so come and break it down let me see you. tsk.

just bought 3k fuel at nnpc.
will update when the reserve light goes on.

bigass:
From the way spoke its obvious alot of intending/current partners do not understand how the system works. When i went to do my screening which i failed due to some reasons(wornout tyres bad A/C and a bad sprinkler), all the people I met said current partners/drivers complained that Uber is no longer profitable.

Nope. they dont.

fix those stuff and go back again. as i type to you right now i am about to go online for the first time since 4 pm yesterday cos i have been resting and know i will work long hours.

tomorrow i'll take my car in for checks. i check my car every monday.

i know what i am doing.

bare1:
But this car has more than 100,000 kmph mileage, I thought Uber doesn't accept more than that?

they concentrate on how efficient the car runs now

toyclicks:
Pls o, kindly describe the LIRS office o. Any documents to take along?

i did mine inside at FRSC Ojodu. Justbdrivers license

bigass:
Even though Uber thinks more of riders than drivers but i Like your spirit.

How many miles do you do per day and on how many litres of fuel.

the truth is that drivers are not forsaken. ever since the price reduction i havent noticed a drop in revenue.

on paper it looks like uber thinks more of riders but in reality it isnt true.

let me explain.

* there is a weekly hourly guarantee of 1400 on weekdays and 1500 on weekends. this mean that as a driver no matter what happens you either make 1500 an hr or uber makes up 1500 an hour for you.

* there are surges daily which doubkes or sometimes triple the price riders pay.

* there was a 1.3 guarantee through out this week. 1.3 means a 30% amount of the ride you just took. which is applied after uber removes their 25%.

then this week, if you drive 50 hrs online, you are entitled to 400 naira per trip. if you take 50 trips that week thats extra 20,000.


it all makes sense. but majority of drivers do not see it.

i do about 1200 miles a week.

Fuel from NNPC if i buy 3000 naira, i make about 15,000 from it.

now i dont drive around looking for the next trip unlike before.
