I have received 4 surge trips 1.8x, 1.9x, 1.7x and 1.5x.
Had to cancel 3 cause of long pickup and traffic. Except one. D yeye rider cancelled cos he couldn't afford to pay surge.

Over surge dey worry taxify today.

emmancecute:
I noticed an increase in my uber fares recently but the last trip I did really got to me. I picked rider around adekunle, yaba to oba akran, ikeja. I ended trip and saw #2450 without traffic or stop. Rider paid but me I know fare shouldn't be more than #1500 so I wrote to uber before I pick uncle Gazzuzz. Below is their response, uber for president!

so inspiring, encouraging from uber

Last night i after a 10km ride, expecting up to 1000 as trip fare, i ended trip and saw 5626 Was surprised but rider was calm.
Me: ma do u have an outstanding debt?
Rider: yes
Me : are you ready to pay all now?
Rider; yes but i don't have N26.

This carry over debt cant happen on taxify.
They are so wack.

Some people go suffer this 3hrs traffic. I pack for GRA dey wait. Will drive home soon. I can't kii mysef

....Continued

Rider 1: feels like your car is dragging as the gear changes, when last did you check the gear oil?
Me; i barely check, only check my engine oil, water and coolant level. Shebi the gear oil is like once a year or 2?
Rider 1: yea, since its for uber u could use miles to count, like 60kmiles. Your car should sprint quicker than this with ur type of engine, this is not the normal movement.
Me: ok i will check.
Rider 1: no, check immediately u drop me. I am sure the colour isnt pink anymore and its due for a change.

Me: (ends trip)
Rider 1: oya open your bonnet lemme check for u, so you dont forget.
Me; (which kind oversabi house husband be this?) Ok its open.
Rider1: [was actually wearing a green overall kit and a recommended glass] (hopped out, opened bonnet and checked.) Oh, its so dark. I told u. You have to change it asap or u risk buying another gear box, 200k.
Me: noooo
Rider1: And make sure you watch ur mechanic putting the oil. Cos some quack will sell the original u gave dem and put some regular oil and what u try to avoid will still happen: damage.
Me; ok sir
Rider1 infact change it, drive for 1 week drain and change it again.
Me: (kill me)

Gazzuzz dem abeg who dey sell original Toyota type t-iv ATF for here?
(Today was interesting...)

With uber riders today. Surulere to festac.
Rider 1: i just love the ML350 benz. Its my ideal car.
Rider 2: so how many car do you even have?
Rider 1: you know we technicians have a lot of cars sha.
Cos sometimes we give out to customers while theirs are under service with us.
Rider2: i see.
Rider 1: Even some1 like GAZZUZZ has about 10 cars, kia cerato, i35....( he mentioned about 6)

Me: (i just turned my neck to look at him very well. He had no idea i know the person he was talking about)

They strike in india for 12 days and uber reacted. Nigeria is sh!thole u know

GAZZUZZ:

While i was at the with d panel beater one guy just walked up to me and asked, bros it seems u are observing the strike... i was dumbfounded. Which strike na? I had to quickly log in here to check.
