Uber started in Nigeria with very high standard. Less than 100000km less than 8 years cars etc. Clean title etc. Nisan micra is the best car for Uber right now.

lol. see as men dey show face one by one

Xneg:
When uber started, Festac to vi was about 4k and riders were on the increase, nobody complained u til they slashed by 40%.

The red cabs where also available and were more expensive, majority of the people consider comfort before price, it's just now that you see plenty olosho's using it and their main concern is price.

The economy, the buhari effect, the poverty increasing in the land.... before the 40% slash everyone was happy, uber was great until Taxify and buhari came

MoonlightDrive:
Even with low fares, Ehailing apps companies are springing faster than a rabbit can breed.
Expect low price regime to stay, the bet is even on further price crash like riders not been charged little or nothing for time spent in traffic.
What is currently happening in the food industry is what we would witness in the ehailing biz going forward.
Even Domino had to get off their high horse by introducing N550 pizza.

while the likes of rideme taxi, oga taxi and the rest are dragging lagos with uber and bolt.... one smart one launched and concentrate on the east and south-south... they call them RYDE

chillex8:

One stupid #500 request about to cut my ticket

Epphy

lol @ticket

shollywendy1:
But lastweek i got an international aiport request from onigefon oniru. I also took off with a taxify driver d same time as they (riders) were six in numbers.
After ending d trip, mine (uber)was 2568NGN and the taxify guy was 2900NGN. I believe uber is still cheaper

Gps accuracy. varies

julietromeo:
When they know its not possible why did they mention it before.
They are not organised at all.
Didn't they think about it before sending message to drivers. Or is it another gimmick to attract drivers.

they are cowards

julietromeo:
Has anybody gotten cancelation fee on bolt?

nope.
i thought they wanted to effect that from april. be like dem dey fear riders

izzou:
Yeah

Happened to me once. Na superglue the guy take do am for me that time

mine na sewing thread dem take do am....

How do you even drive in lagos without getting bashed or scratched, who was that man claiming it's possible?
On different occasions i will be at traffic light waiting for it to turn green. The next thing gboaaa....
one car will just use me to stop.
"sorry bros my brake failed...." several times

today on opebi traffic one mini truck didn't apply his brakes early and hit d 5th car behind me. yes 5th car.
the 5th hit d 4th till the impact got to d next car behind me. that one too hit me with much impact, i was just far enough from the one at my front. e for continue like dat.

i just went down to check d damage, just little scratches caused by his number plate screws/bolts.

i just drove off leaving dem behind to fight their fight

Xneg:
Samsung galaxy s6 egde for sale, very good for uber/bolt. Does not get hot or hang. Clean, price is just 40k.

izzou:

4-0

impossible is nothing

Rollitout:
This guy made 12k completing 13 trips and he is happy well done sir.....
13 trips on Bolt will fetch me nothing less than 25k

what if d 13 trips on bolt are all 1k each or less.
its not about d amount of trips, but the distance and time.
i did 3 trips on uber last week and it was 8500. next day i did 3 trips it was 2k....
you should know how these things vary...

Epphy:
Bolt destination trips na baba! It also allows one to use it anytime unlike Uber...I was dulling before

plus it takes you very far, uber will sometimes give u d next street as a trip towards ur destination. that thing dey pain...

Cooladex:
Lol. Agent indeed. But truth be told, that wasn't so easy. Body needs rest

if i hear say i no rest for a day or 2. Gone are d days i work 7 days and chase 100k ... like this, other business go pay the bills.
cheers.
but uber 0% is bae, combined with bolt destination trips. it feels smart

uber is ready. bolt/taxify in trouble

3rd mb to mainland is blocked. serious maintanace going on there

taxify in calabar n uyo now

olalekan90:
A lady ordered me from fagba to berger. She conveniently sat at OWNER’S CORNER doing snap chat with her miserable tecno phone with gucci pouch.When i ended the trip it was 1200. She said she only has 1k with her. With a calm voice i told her to bring the 1k like that. I cajoled her to rate me and she gave me 5star. As she was trying to open the door i said “excuse me ma, next time dont sit at the back of someone’s car if you know you don’t have your full fare. Shame catch am small

guy man first chop him 1star..... no joy lol

franksam2009:
Seriously if Uber should continue giving me mature male riders especially mainland men, I will quit.
I picked up one yeye man and his wife for 500 naira short distance trip, only for them to be disturbing me to enter every red traffic light we come across, saying that road safety won't do anything 2 me cos it's weekend, just imagine rubbish.
I was so angry already cos this man talks faster than a parrot and he won't stop talking, he talks as if he wants to hit me
I just jejely told him sir I'm sorry to say, but if you ask me to beat any traffic light again, I will instantly end the trip and drop you off on the express way. D man just quietly shut up
We got to his destination Las Las na ordinary 550 naira, I just collected it and instantly gave to a begger without even looking at d money, d man just open mouth dey look
How do you guys deal with riders always pushing you to break traffic rules?

lol... guy you dey para oo�

Taxify mumu o. Dey have change the default car on the rider app from bolt to lite. It was actually vice versa.
Na to favour the riders all the time them sabi

GforGee:
How did you check her destination?
You can do that on Bolt?

after cancellation and chopping ur 300. You will see destination

mistadayo:
Trouble. Called her 4times and her phone was busy. All of a sudden she called back and was racking that where am I? Was already prepared due to the rating. She put wrong address. Covenant Christian centre iganmu was her location but she put abebe street iganmu. Me I just drive there go chop 400naira cancellation fee... Did I do bad Please?

you would got up to 2500 for completing that ride

We will do like 70% card trips today. It's like they are all on promo

QuitNotice:
Bro, stop fronting for Uber. Even with this promo, I still gross more than my uber friends weekly They are only trying to copy Bölt. It's a carrot and stick approach

Na you talk so o

Fuel scarcity or fuel increment or both could happen soon

GforGee:
I took a guy on a trip and he made an online transfer of the money to my account. Same guy asked me to deliver a package and would transfer money for that when I deliver. I had to text him the following day before I could get my money, he even shortchanged me by #100. At least he paid.

Second guy, with his babe. He made a transfer(obviously fake). He told me I will still get the alert because I didn't get it when he did his wonder transfer. I didn't get it, texted him in the morning too but he still didn't budge. I just reported to Uber and they promise to pay me.

What I did today and will continue to do. Rider said he'll transfer to me. I told him, "sir, I have a problem with my bank account, I can only take cash". He was surprised, he said he has never paid cash for Uber before. I just told him to select an online payment option in his uber account instead of the cash option, then he said he can't put his card details online. In my mind I said "so you no wan put card details online and you not fit carry cash, who you dey deceive".
The guy and his friends just find my money sharply.

Unless the rider bolt away like someone had earlier said here, please tell them you have a problem with your account if they say they would transfer. Or better still, carry them to the nearest ATM machine without ending the trip, let them pay for that too.

It is so annoying that these people will not tell you before starting the trip, only for them to surprise you with transfer when they get to their destination.

Drivers are getting wiser too, riders should not rule over us. Its ride sharing, not taxi, not personal driver.

I can't put a car worth over a million naira on the road and someone who will pay maximum of 20k will now be doing like they bought the car for me. If they are pissed, let em buy a car too and get personal driver, simple!

these days they dont even announce they are paying via transfer.... they just ask ur acc number at destination...
I dont even have a problem with dat, my gtb app and email alert got me covered anytime. Just do the transfer, announce my name that displayed, show me "successful", i'll open my app and email and refresh till i get it then you can get out.... i worry less on uber however.
Nb: i dont rely on text alert, i even disabled mine.

Hallelujah. 0% confirmed....
We die here.
If you are not on uber this period, sorry o

julietromeo:
It takes 24hours before the system will recognise you have done the 15 trips. Uber promises to refund last week but they didn't. I did my 15th trip on Tuesday morning and switched to taxify when they charged my 16th trip. Had to wait for 24hrs before 0% service fee started.

i sent them message after the 16th trip. Retired for today cause of flu. Tomorrow we'll check. Thanks

I don do many trips on top the 15 trips them still dey chop the 25%. Una wey do am last week na so the thing dey go ni?
