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.
be like i go go online and wait. Cant be accepting long pick up trips

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:


some riders hate the corrola and religiously give it 1star.

Noooo.... religiously? Oh nooo.
when corolla is about 60% on the platform. All rider understands corolla is the traditional uber/taxify car. Though dey may be picky about the year.
Regardless, just keep ur car functional, clean and interesting.

Dovehorizon:
To the automobile juggernauts, do u think hybrid cars can survive on ehailing platforms...
My friend bought a toks 08 camry (hybrid) and 6k fuel, same fuel took him to imo state and back (lagos). He intends to put on ehailing platform but drive it himself.

So what do u think

wow. I hope so.
See mad fuel economy.
