Isaac john! God knows I hate that place. I hate Ikeja in general

Haba....u never taste my favorite spot....Sobo Arobiodu street. drive down to where u see Air peace office.... Request is a must there...
Again there are trees with low shades... there u can even take ur rest with fresh air..


Make i go do my first trip... as taxify request no come i kuku on uber

jayooh:
Bros no be only you oh.

i don dey house put on my app past one hour....no request yet. Although na 10am.....
I kuku enter calabar kitchen....i will go and position later. Btw it's Friday oooo

ifyeez:
Some will start asking you why you're asking them, or will ignore the question and hang up immediately, some will tell you when you get here I will let you know. Once I hear all dis I already know it's a bad request am canceling after I drop the call. No rubbish m ur ride not ur slave.

while some will tell u without even asking...
Rider; please where are you? I am going to apapa. Can you come here quickly? I am quite late, i will be standing at my gate waiting for you.
All in one, without even letting u talk in between.
They make work easy sha ...... u know what to do next

IWealthCreator:
The day your mechanic knows you are using your car for uber or taxify businesss... that is the day you have entered into an unsigned partnership agreement with you mechanic. He would never do predictive/preventive maintenance on your vehicle, even when he should advice, he just plays dumb, waiting for the massive damage to be done, so that he can continue the unsigned partnership agreement. Never tell you mechanic that you are using your car for uber services... they actually assume you take home N100k net a week and you expect them to be satisfied with just payment for servicing your car.

funny....and not true

ifyeez:
They bless who dey want to bless,
while you're on 20k yesterday, I only got 13k yesterday from 5am to 11pm.
I can't even complain again self.

Its so ironic....these days u can't smile for all 7 days.... except u wanna push it. Yesterday i wanted to take 3 trips and go home and rest for d day..... i ended up working till night... 26k chopped. Including 2 offlines. But saturday i woke up prepared to fire down.. i didn't get more than 18k

When your last trip is offline, 9k and 4km to ur house. Then u are 3 times lucky....
Funny day still...

Hallelujah ...been long i chop this their yeye bonus...
Today wen i no serious

brogxy:
Don't mind them. I could remember that a rider commented on seeing my rider too classy for lite but didn't read a meaning to it then cos they just started taxify & lite wahala.
I have got vehicles below 2005 on taxify many times that I have requested for a ride.
I guess they don't know what they want or maybe system glitch.

Lolz the other day I was approaching Abraham Adesanya from Thomas estate request comes in at night with some traffic and rider says he is on the other side facing sangotedo that I must have driven past him he then asks if I can turn around at the round about drive down pick him and then get into traffic but now start the trip when we have crossed back again facing ajah..i just laughed and cancelled the trip.

u can imagine!

Gentlelife50:
Don't mind them, they don't know time is money. How do they start trip properly again? Starting trip is starting trip.

the other day a lady said i shuld leave her street, get to d highway before starting trip. I just smiled and told her ; madam i will forget...lets start it now

omonla10:
don't mind them jare. There's something they call befitting or elegance.. Have u ever seen a matured man use golf. Even if it's 2010 model.. U can never compare them. Me sef wey never get moni can't use matrix as my personal car. Imagine me wearing agbada or suit driving matrix..
The consumers that demand Corolla are not fools jare.
Resale value nko. U have to consider that too..

My corolla wey I buy Nigerian neatly used 1million a year ago, I'll still sell it over 1million next year

Corolla >>>>matrix

resale value gan gan ni....

GAZZUZZ:
you are buying same car, 400k cheaper.

#end.

lol.... epic answer.... not same car joor.... Corolla booth can contain a full grown ram and its child... and the 'sitting' room is bigger

Ojaiyeola:
Taxify is officially dead, only four trips yesterday from 7am to 10pm on a Friday at Festac, Gbagada, VI and Lekki, I had to be online for three to four hours straight with no request. Today Saturday from 7an till 4pm Festac, Ikeja(all round @ 3KM), Ogba, Ojodu, College road only two trips. Please don't tell me it is my network because I keep testing with my other phone and my requests come in. Uber here I come.

even those that swear dey can never do uber are running back... for me i dey both kampe any one wen come i chop am.... both apps running and updated. Just like one using MTN and Glo lines.... d one wen pay pass at a time naim u go use....

brogxy:
I was talking about the pickup distance. Who will compensate me for the 4km.
I check distance most time before accepting

sometimes the distance shown are not exactly d same as the request page... pick and click google map.... it could be more it could be less. Then decide if u will go pick the rider....

GAZZUZZ:
Taxify is a Nigerian APP, it's run buy the Govt

lol i thought its estonia

nosanovia:
Good morning everyone, I would like to ask the experience pilots, please are these target possible in this our line of biz, as take home for each day?
Tuesday -----10k
Wed. -------12k
Thursday------15k
Friday -------17k
Sat. ------ 18k
Sunday. ------- 13k
Monday ------- 15k
Total. -------- 100k every week. This is after all expenses

now e-hailing is not mathematics.... some days are sweet some days are just fair or bad. For instance last sunday i did so many trips (mostly short ones) at d end it was barely 15k....yesterday i didn't even push it. At d end 18700. Just 8 trips Tuesday of all days...

raykas:
@Gazzuz you should know that Yomi is an inexperience fellows in this E-hailing business. Any driver's that fall for his trap will surely come back to me with full of regrets
. he wants to take 200k upfront and 40k weekly delivery. And the Yomi himself is an office assistant. I met him once.

u like mean 200k assurance or ayam not understanding

brogxy:
I usually don't wait more than the 5mins limit. But waited for 30 mins yesterday for a trip of 30km on 2.2 surge

this is when waiting is worth it...
3 weeks ago, Saturday. I drop someone around Opic, taxify.
around channels tv. I knew i could get request back to town. But when? I was cruising back to d gate with d intention of catching ojodu berger... a request came in. Wow! Babe was standing in front of their street... not smartly dress but cool. Ok lets start d trip and go?
Babe; yes pls.
Almost at d main gate, she cried.... oh i left my wallet, can we go back pls.
Was thinking 5 mins max she should be out. Took another 20 mins
Came out looking sharp and super dressed.
Wow..... so this babe just secured her ride first,then went back to really dress for the occasion.? Na wa.

taxiappguy:
Thinking is better than not thinking. In that vein, I commend you.
There are roundabouts that have only two exits, the one you are coming from and another one on the left.
As you are approaching the roundabout, that nice-but-insistent lady that lives inside Google maps will tell you, "At the roundabout, take the first exit".
Because you are just approaching the roundabout, you may not know the features of its exits, or if Indeed there is one on the right. When you get to it, you might find the only exit is on the other side, the left side.
My point is "At the roundabout, take the first exit" doesn't always indicate a turn on the right. Sometimes the first exit requires you to go straight.
While your right turn statement is true and I agree with it in a general sort of way, i also feel it is not precise enough. It might mislead.
I would recommend following the lady's prompt and counting the exits instead. First exit is first exit, second exit is second exit, and so on.

for guys that use the google map voice...so annoying,distracting and sometimes confusing. Best is to silence it....and use the blue lines leading you...even the shapes of the roundabout and ur exits are shown
..

ifyeez:
Destination berger, started trip it was Ogun state after Opic inside inside. Was angry I did not end that trip still regret it till date.

Buh I know how to deal with such riders now, if you know you know.

riders don dey claim smart now...

eherbal:
a little tip.when next you have a language barrier issue with a rider, Google translator is your friend.

Google translator is not the solution in that scenario biko

Gentlelife50:
Lolzz, Uber or taxify? If it's Uber cancel and run.
