I've left my car and rider at one of the lekki traffic lights before and eased myself beside the express there, lights turned green and I began hearing horns everywhere, in my mind nothing is stopping this weewee. The woman has been complaining of me not moving very fast that she didn't have much money on her so I was expecting all hell to break loose but the woman just started laughing that "that thing go don hold u reach throat o, the way u take jump out and this one wey u no fear make dem catch u for express wey u dey piss" I just smiled and said now I can safely drive fast

Nature can sometimes choose the wrong to call

Has anyone ever been pressed while in traffic and with a rider? It happened to me two nights ago.

I was on a trip to Badore from UNILAG. We got into the Lekki link bridge traffic just b4 the roundabout and with a full bladder...it was a painfully slow moving traffic. When it got to the point where I couldn't endure it any longer, I asked my rider who was cuddling his babe if he can drive and he said no...

At that point I couldn't reason straight, I just put my car in park and asked the guy to come and drive the car that I'm about to pee on myself, I didn't wait to hear his response...I jumped out of the car, jumped over the divider and in less than 2 seconds I was on the other side of the bridge. I relived myself and also ignore passersby with a straight face.

I turned and I saw my car moving slowly in the traffic...I thought to myself, see person wey say he no Sabi drive o...
When I caught up with the car, I tapped the window and signalled the guy to stop. See the relief on his face eh...the guy was actually saying the truth, he no Sabi drive.

The car in front of me was a high end SUV...a 2017 Lexus LX 570 jeep...wetin I for do if to say the guy jam this jeep from behind?

I don't even wanna imagine it.

Hello everyone,
I'm excited to bring this to the group.
It's a new money making opportunity for partners and Drivers.
You get to make some good money by the side while doing absolutely nothing extra!

How?
Taxi App Guy is partnered with a firm that specializes in in-ride entertainment and advertisement to your rideshare cars.

How does this work?
We place high quality screens in your car. These screens broadcast interactive and highly engaging content to your riders as you drive them around.
The more engagement the screen in your car gets the more money you make.
And the best part? The screen is totally free to install.
You don't have to do anything else as we send content into the screens, all you have to do is keep taking trips as you normally would.

We are running a pilot program for the first 5 people to test out the screens in their vehicle, during the pilot period we we are simply testing out the product and so won't be sending any payouts. We start sending out payouts when we launch.
Of course the first five people get priority when the actual program launches.

If you are interested in participating in the pilot, please mention this post. The first 5 eligible partner/driver gets the available screens.

Ayam interested sah!

The traffic today no be here...

Yesterday afternoon, as I was dropping off a rider at The Place, Isaac John. I noticed the guy standing closeby, fitted shirt and blue jeans, a Bluetooth earpiece in one ear, obviously an Uber/Taxify driver.

He kept looking at his fone with a frown on his face...the look on that face shows clearly that the dude is vexing...

I've just finished 3 back to back request...my legs felt like lead so I thought I could just come out of the car walk it off and probably chat with the vexing dude bcus I know what is eating him up...his village People haf blessed him with a very bad rider.

I got out of the car and turned to walk towards him, he was typing furiously on his keypads and that instant, a call came in which he picked. His first words were "madam what is all this now?. This is not fair o!"
With that, my suspicion was confirmed...I jejely changed direction and walked towards the gate...bad energy Biko fly away...

Some Uber and Taxify drivers are now worse than Danfo drivers with their erratic driving. A guy near killed himself and his rider this evening.

Carshopper:
let me break the table and use it for firewood


So partners want drivers to pay a caution fee or maintenance cost ... I have thought over this for long and come to realize a missing link ... if as a driver am paying to maintain your car ... then the partner should pay to maintain the driver health ....


I know drivers will be happy now ..

In other words, caution/assurance fee is a biased arrangement Abi?

Gentlelife50:
I no dey oooo

Me too!

eherbal:
it seems you're at that time of the month or you're pregnant,the way you're just taking on everyone these days. Take am easy o.Na every aboki carry Im kettle

The fear of pregnant women is the beginning of wisdom...ask @Gentlelife.

Carshopper:
when I say your vehicle type doesn't effect your rating or riders will not rate u based on your vehicle type some people argue ..

I like stats.. they say the obvious....not gamble


A brief history.... I gave a newbie here the chance to drive a 2008 Kia rio .. I wasn't truly eager to but he cut across as a good guy ...

Today he has been with same car for 4/5months and below is his rating ...


if you think corolla is every rider choice please THINK AGAIN

I drove a 07 Kia Rio and the only time I got a low rating was when I had an altercation with a rider...despite having a bad and noicy front shocks.

I don't like the Corolla tho I drive one, my rating when I was driving a Kia Rio was higher than my present rating. It's really not about the car.

OgaMaxi:
There are 16 cars on rentage - both manual and auto. Experienced drivers on the platform can whatsapp 09082461162.

Nah so drivers scarce? 16cars sitting idly...

Today my riders turn me to marriage and relationship counselor...

One even asked if we could hangout sometime...

slamstanlee:
I don chop this 15k already.
Na to log out and do only uber till 2moro before dem begin spoil am with rider cancellation.abi wetin u think?
Infact i just got one flash request now....driver did not respond.

Bros I dey follow U for nyash!

Homeward bound... destination set...
No be me kill Abiola

Gentlelife50:
You are so right
I was telling somebody the other day sometimes getting up early doesn't guarantee a fat earnings at the end of the day.
He was even asking me if I am just realizing it.
Sometimes u get that early request and spend hours in the early morning traffic and the rider may be going to some places u don't get request in the morning because they are office areas.
The thing is one need to just keep praying to be fortunately fortunate.

Confirm!

taxiappguy:
Copied, please confirm.
UBER AND TAXIFY DRIVERS ARE NO MORE ALLOWED INTO MAGODO PHASE2 IN ALL THE GATES.

REASON , THEY SAID RESIDENTS ARE NO MORE PAYING FOR STICKERS AS THEY USE UBER/TAXIFY AS AN OPTION.

SO TAKE NOTE AND DONT WASTE YOIR PRECIOUS FUEL DRIVING THAT FAR AND BE TURNED BACK.

I was asked to leave the estate one night.

I was just completing a trip in the estate when another one came in, rider was two streets away so I went there and she asked me to wait.

The estate security patrol bus just pulled up beside me and everybody inside the bus were asking me questions at the same time...las Las, I was asked to leave the estate that UBER/Taxify drivers are not allowed into the estate at night...they even followed me till I drove out of the estate gate.

Gentlelife50:
No I had to cancel ooo when someone is talking to me in that manner when the trip have not started. Fear catch me ooo

You will live to tell the story...over and over again...

That woman for show U pepper if to say U carry am...

Every gallop and bump comes with consequences like say nah driver fault, if Ac too high, nah trouble. If U are listening to music from soundcity, she will say U r making noise...

I rather be penalised than drive that woman.

I was at the Greenlight Hub on Monday to complete my registration and training...

Close to 30 men seated in that room and I felt like I was the only one who doesn't need this training...like they didn't know I graduated from University of Nairaland, 80% of what she talked about are things I already know about.

Looking at the faces of some of these guys and the question some of them asked shows their level of naivety

There's this guy with a fake yankee accent, he asked the world's dumbest question...

"CAN UBER DRIVERS CARRY CORPSE?"

He even asked it twice...at different times during the training.

I was hoping to meet one or more nairalanders who too are visitors to this thread...I asked about 8 guys and none of them know about this thread...3 don't know about nairaland at all at all...

Megadrop:
Bros, I am talking from experience, riders cancellation and drivers cancellation accounts for one being blocked. They feel that most riders cancel after they must have spoken with the driver and he or she declines the trip. I was blocked on independence eve when I was just completing my 18th trip. The message was communicated to me that night via sms immediately I swiped to complete a trip. Consequent upon that I was made to go through a mandatory course for those that were blocked and in the cause of that I was also made to understand that all I stated in the foregoings or rather in my earlier post on cancellation counts including your city of operation. Furthermore, on enquiry same thing was also sounded into my ears at the greenlight hub.

Confirm!
I was at the Hub on Monday and the very fine geh with pretty face and sweet voice giving us lecture said it too...

GAZZUZZ:
Drivers, fresh meat don land

Carry dey go we no chop!

Rollitout:
How do I forcefully set Trip destination request

You just can't, so quit trying...

iyaegin:
This already occurs on Uber..if your dispatch is farther than your rider's destination you get compensated..or you can request for a review

The way the man was sounding, it was obvious this isn't the first time he's experiencing such.

I don't think they'll (Uber/Taxify) like their customers review of this.

I noticed something this evening.

I was on Isaac John when this request came in, rider was on Oba Akinjobi way... quite a distance for pickup but I went anyway. Rider was going to The Place. So when we got there and he saw his fare, he just flared, complaining that taxify should have paired him with the closest car but instead they pair him with a car far from him and making him pay extra...that trip shouldn't be more than ₦500.

It's beginning to look like U get compensated for the long distance travel to pickup location.

While still on Isaac John, a request came from Ajanaku in Opebi...I just asked rider to cancel that I'm far from her and she cancelled.

deedee44:
