Johnadu:
Romeo3, from your dashboard, you made 21k in 15hrs. Fuel takes about 10k in 15hrs. Other expenses takes about 3k
You are left with 8k for 15hrs labour. How much do you remit to owner because I believe you don't own a car.
Where will you get money for maintenance and how long will your car endure this pressure. Mind you, you are still enjoying the surge. Uber makes much more than you
You are either paid to do what you are doing or you get your calculation all wrong. This is a channel to failure in life. Wish you the best

I spent 6k on fuel. not 10

what other expenses took 3k? are you now calculating my expenses for me?

what surge? I did 17 trips yesterday and only one of them was a surge trip. if I follow the surge and don't make 30k and above, I should be checked.

bro we don't view life through the same lens. if you think it is a channel to failure you will fail not me.

Even if uber makes their commission 0%, these group of people would still not make 100k weekly.

Abeg una matter Don tire me.

if their conditions don't suit you, drive on taxify.

sleekender:
I can categorically say that @Romeo3 is either an Uber agent or has been paid to troll this thread.

No partner or driver shares your views,

they don't need to. they are not at my level intellectually.

I dare say they don't make above 100k on uber before the price slash. so when i talk, they should sit their arses down and take notes. the current car I drive I got from this thread on a HP arrangement and I am not complaining.

that alone should tell anyone that these guys are 10 levels below.

protocol:
well, uber has dissapointed those who are using high model cars. cant use a car more than 2.2m for this. always invest little. is unfortunate but what next

Uber has a higher standard than taxify. Uber is more popular than taxify is. has more appeal and swag to both local and international riders. Taxify are like apc promising 5000 naira to unemployed Nigerians and promising to feed a school children with their unsustainable 5% commision. just to gain the trust of drivers. majority of taxify drivers are uber rejects.

taxify has so far only gained drivers, but no riders like they expect. if uber reduces their commission to even 20%, taxify is dead.

so the thing about using low end cars on uber is that riders will keep rating you low because of that car and you will eventually get kicked out back to taxify. Uber has set the standard and over pampered their riders with higher end cars. you don't expect such riders to easily eat the humble pie and ride in a low end car.

trust me, I once received a request when I was driving that 2006 corolla. the rider called me and asked me, bros abeg which year is that your corolla? I replied 2006 and he said he was cancelling. for the first time in my uber career, I received 20 5 star ratings in less than 50 trips because of the car I am using... cars matter alot

a car that is well maintained will last longer on the road than a car than a car isn't . if anyone says they won't maintain their car because uber reduced fares, such people need a brain check because that car is their office and if anything happens to it, it's their fault.

riders have an option to cancel a ride on uber because they do not like the car and they are gonna start using it very soon.

it is even too early to start castigating the issue of reduced fares because let's face it, they haven't even driven their cars to know if they notice a difference. if anyone thinks their current car is too good for uber, by all means sell it and invest in another business. or you sell it and buy 100 golf 3's and put on the Ojota to surulere routes.

I don't know how people will just sit behind their phones and believe they know better than the brains that brought the uber thing to them in the first place. if you were half as smart as the inventors of uber, I doubt if you would still be in this level. these are geniuses that study transportation trends and implement services that the populace needs at the right time and someone who hasn't even driven since the day the new pricing started thinks he has an argument?

OlugbengaE:
I have been restraining myself since but you have low self worth and will take anything thrown at you. You seem like a "just give me anything guy" after a job interview.

I took uber from Ojota to Surulere and I paid N750. And this to you is okay. Imagine you invest 3.5million on a car and you are okay with 750 for such trip?

Like I always say its not how much you made but for how long

You make 20k in 200km or 20k in 500k. They are not same.

does uber only operate Ojota to surulere routes?

what idiot would invest 3.5m in a car and put it on Ojota to surulere route?

have you tried Ojota to Epe on uber and get charged 750?

ihimiray:
when I get a car to use.. U gonna be my model and inspiration... U trying bro

Bro. it's all about your mindset. if you do not love what you do you can never succeed at it even when given all the right tools. some people curse their own progress with their manner of approach to certain things. there is no business on earth without obstacles. what sets you apart from others is your manner of approach to the seeming obstacles.

there are a lot of complainers in this life and if you are not careful they will sway you and your very own conviction. I used to wonder how people managed to do over 80 trips a week until I changed my strategy and approach. and then I was able to.

it's all psychological.

Everyone who refuses to see the world of the new uber pricing system through the eyes of warped reasoning and assumptions pulled out of arses, is branded "just joined uber".

if I just joined uber and have managed these ratings then I am ahead of the game.

jpworld:
It seems you just join uber, your blood still they hot.

The point the other guy is making is that the fare is too cheap and is not worth it on a long run, I agree you will be seeing your money daily. But what happen to your vehicle after couple of months?

I don't understand the last question.

what happens to the vehicle before the reduced fares?

as a rule of thumb I service every vehicle I have been driving on uber after 5000 miles. mind you, I achieve 5000 miles in about 3 weeks plus. I also check the linkages and every other part of the vehicle.

what would happen to it?

before the new pricing I make over 20k on weekends. after the new pricing I still made 20k with the same amount of fuel.

what is the problem here?

the protagonists of this issue base their "facts" on assumption. none of you have made a single effort to even try out the pricing regime for even a week before drawing out conclusions.

assumptions aren't facts. stop assuming and present facts.

Plankton2017:
Wow 650? Are u serious? Jesus is Lord

if you listen to these people you will never make a head start.

out of the over 7k I have made today, there is a trip I took that gave me 262 naira after uber and another that gave me over 4k after uber's 25%. it all added up to the 7k.

listening to these people, one would think the only routes available on uber are 650 naira. each.

you would also think that uber is all about Ojota to Ojuelegba to and fro, to and fro.

bro as long as you are online you will make money. forget these pessimists. good for you is that you are accountable to no one but yourself.

OlugbengaE:
For those who still driver continue. The cars I have on the platforms are worth about 8million or conservatively 6.5million combined. I can not offer services that's cheaper than yellow cab golf 2

Ojota to Ojuelegba by Uber 2009 Rav4 or Corolla N650
Yellow cabs golf 2 1400

I can not price myself low. ROI must be commensurate with investment.
Its not about how much you make per day but how many kilometers you drive to make such.

Currently Ojodu to Lagos island is 1700-2200 before uber. Me I can not do anything less than 3500 before uber with my car.
Tufiakpa.

sell your cars oga and let's have peace.

there is still life after uber.

Plankton2017:
Kai Romeo you just uplifted my spirit...I dey hit streets this week..so happy. I know Lagos very well...

Nice one bro. what car would you be driving?

He is asking me how I did it.... you must think I am lazy like you... lol

I only had one surge trip yesterday. so shut the 4uk up in advance before I hear you say surge...

I no buy car for you you no buy car for me. you don't maintain my car for me.

what I do with my car should be none of your business. if you like go online , if you like sell your car. na your pocket.

eghuan1:
Tell the truth. We know your methods and you will be caught soon.

Kindly enlighten us how much fuel you used to make the 21k

what stupid methods?

are you aware that uber has killed off promo codes? no you don't.

sit there and blame everyone else but yourself for your own misfortune.

accept that there are people smarter than you.

to be successful on uber you have to

1. know lagos like the back of your hand

2. accept all requests and complete all trips

on closer research, it will be discovered that the majority of drivers having a hard time are those that cannot navigate lagos state. before uber's price reduction, they were having a hard time. you can only imagine now.

I know loads of them. one of them only knows lekki VI and ikoyi. if he gets a trip to ikeja, he does the drop off and heads back to the island. burning fuel for nothing. those are the categories complaining instead of making use of the present opportunity.

you all should do the world a favour and deactivate your uber accounts. it takes just a click.

Plankton2017:
3k? did u say 3k? I dont believe o. Once guy told me he made 25k yesterday...i was shocked tho he told me he drive till 3am this morning

Bro. do not believe that nonsense.

I have only been online for 3 hrs today and have made over 7k.

eghuan1:
But with the current rates, you would be lucky to take 3k home at the end of every day

false overhyped information.

I did 21k yesterday. And that is because I had an offline client.

if you guys are tired of driving, dont kill the spirits of those willing to drive.

Lol. wonder why uber is now by force. but these people said taxify is the best. why not go with taxify and delete uber app from your phones? beats me

obitee69:
Pls how do i get a valid vehicle inspection report to upload. I need to bypass that stage

hold your 3k and go to total fueling station lekki palms.

LagosUberDriver:
wow ,a friend used one a while back and complained bitterly about high fuel consumption,how do u manage?

I don't rev above 3000 rpm and I don't go above 100 kmh when with riders. and I don't drive above 50kmh when alone and looking for riders

the car has a 7100 rpm limit and likes to be pushed hard. high revs require much fuel

OlugbengaE:
Surge is when riders outnumber drivers.
The current surge is due to low numbers of drivers not a sudden increase in riders.

ok

fantastique4:
what model of honda is that?

08. evil spirit

darmilolah:
This country is doomed can never be good. It's not a curse. Some of us are offline to prove a point. Some people are online taking advantage of the surge and still have no shame to say it openly that it's feasible.

Just continue, may The head of those that sacrifice ask you.

the surge is never because drivers are offline. there are new riders in town.

FraudMan:
That 15k is in gross fares, your net will be ₦11,250. And there is every posssibility that you will be driving for that 10hrs cos there will back to back requests. More work on the car, more fuel, lesser money.

I will rather do back to back trips and drive for 10hrs with the old pricing. Trust me I will make well over the top up guarantee.

It's pure slavery

ok

FraudMan:
With this new pricing , even tho I believe it I still find it strange. Honestly

Nigerians are too pessimistic.

new pricing doesn't mean anything. Uber did a feasibility study before implementing.

and they guarantee 1500/hr.

if you are online for 10 hrs and accepting requests and completing trips that is 15k.

I am currently averaging above that.

these people aren't fools.

..

received another request right now. waiting for rider.
I have only bought 2000 naira fuel today. my reserve light just went on now.

I drive a 2.4liter honda
