[color=royalblue]I'm sorry if you feel attacked.

I just asked you a very simple question.

Have an awesome day[/color]

I don help am out already, looks like he can't take a joke. The other time Baz001 was being sarcastic, he took it seriously.

We respond to things differently and sometimes we fit just understand some peeps from their write-ups.

You still never tell am wetin him need to know though

Barbiturate:
Where should I be if I dropped someone here from airport?

Meanwhile, your response didn't solve anything. A polite and good response would have been: "You won't get rides at that place by that time, you should move to so so so place"!

The way you guys respond to each other is the reason you quarrel and fight over nothing!

Have a great day!

Some responses suggest an answer already. You're at the right place (for e-hailing) but the timing is wrong (On a Monday morning). That place is only appropriate on weekends and maybe some week nights, say from Wednesday.

Strategic positioning is quite important and cannot be over emphasized.

Weekday mornings, find your way to residential areas and set destination for a long distance trip, probably from Ikeja, you could input Chevron/Ajah as your destination, that way, you're sure to get a long distance trip.

You need to be strategic to make the most of your day, especially on Monday mornings, first Monday for that matter.

This is one of the best Mondays to hit target easily, as most corporate riders/salary earners have enough cash within this period, all the way till the end of the first week. You may think it's past resumption time and most persons are at their various places work already, but the truth is, some riders may have an appointment on the island, set for that time, and you can only find such riders in residential areas. You easily could have driven towards Agidingbi, Adeniyi Jones, Ogba and other residential places around that neighborhood. The amount of fuel you would burn is negligible compared to the profit you'd make (when you eventually get a trip) or the loss you'd incur (wasting time at the mall).

My opinion though.

sone of us are new to car matters, and i am following the hybrid cars debate here, Cheerfulgiver did use the word in one of his replies on the hybrid car post

Yes, he talked about the cruise control in a Hybrid car, saying when it is activated, car drives only on batteries.


That's okay. There are probably alot of things I do not know about on cars too, we learn everyday...

spartacus11:
pencil light have hybrid too?

We're talking about Cruise Control.

Gabrinchi256:
Offcourse u can use it on third mainland bridge, long stretch, smooth road. I do that everytime when I am against traffic or weekends... the road is free. Just maintain 80/100kmph and u will not even need to step on d breaks throughout. Just switch lane when u approach a slower car.

And just fold your legs or do whatever with it, asides pedalling...save the energy for when you get back on a busy road. Been using it since 2010 (Pencil light Camry), Had to do some deep reading before using.

It's the first thing I look out for whenever I need to do long distance on a random car. Some cars have buttons on the steering, instead of a stick.

Gabrinchi256:
Uniform Constant acceleration saves gas more than when u d leave pedal and accelerate again intermitently or continuous increasing acceleration.
Cruise control will help u achieve the former without stress while d latter will most likely happen if u r driving on thirdmainland bridge when there is no traffic. Cruise control is only useful when travelling or driving on high speed on a free and long stretch of road.

Truth is, you can also rev your engine with cruise control when you push that stick up gently, your vehicle accelerates and maintains the km/h at whatever point you stop, same thing happens when you push the stick down, your vehicle decelerates. Cruise control can only work on highways and on major roads where you can do 40km/h and above. Also, stepping on the brake pedal at any point, deactivates the cruise control, so you need to resume once you go above 40km/h to reactivate it.

deedee44:
Okay. Though I can't find any thing like that on the internet as well

You're correct, using the cruise control on the Hybrid doesn't mean it would drive on just battery alone, otherwise how do the batteries get charged? It's the energy from acceleration (fuel) that is recycled and stored on the battery, so it alternates between battery and fuel.

Assurance!!! Driver can carry car and have serious problems before one week reach sef...

Speaking from experience

A deposit (specific amount of money) should be in order.

frubben:
you are wise. God bless you for dis

Amen and you too. One way or the other I heard you requested collateral for rentals, why bros?

Pearl1910:
Lolz... Around 6pm...I just open app, see red everywhere, I kissed my wife, told her am coming now now. Fast forward to 11.30pm and I have grossed ... Make I no talk, before hyenas come for me

Na my rating I dey look now, because some riders see their p today.

Based on my experience in the hustle, I'd share one tip here.

One of the best times to cash out on the hustle is the first week of every month...the week after salary has been paid. Every day, for about two weeks straight, you'd make a good amount, but the peak is usually the first few days and the very first weekend (Friday, Saturday, and the 1st Sunday of the month). Activities begin to go down gradually, because people are probably exhausting their cash and need to manage, person wey dey jump bus, go go back to bus, less outings and dinner dates and all of that, less hang-outs and waka waka.


Takes experience to figure this out, positioning and strategy is key.


Cheers!

Orchid road, in and out is messed up. There was an accident between a bike man and a tipper (sand truck).


Orchid road is blocked in and out, except it is extremely important and you would cash out big, stay away.

Pearl1910:
Honestly, he finally came back to Felicity's point. U see clearer when u focus on issues and not personalities.

At what point did I come back to that?

Duke111:
Bros to be Frank eeh, u r more contradicting

how?

Slickleo:
D man understanding about ehailing is solid compare to d direction u re pushing it to.

Note even uberbolt was claiming Dy are not a transport company bt tech.

If it rains and d ground is muddy u beta clean ursef B4 u enter my car because it's ride sharing am offering or be ready to clean ur mess, y do u think ehailing is cheaper Dan normal taxi. I know u prefer working on d island y is dat?

Good thing you chose to stick to the narrative, I'd address the issues one after the other.

1. On whether his understanding about e-hailing is solid or not, I'd leave people to determine that, but I know he gets blocked every now and then, I know he has changed partners more often than not.

2. Uber is correct, they are not a Transport company as they do not own cars, they are a Tech company, that provide transporters (driver-partners) with passengers (riders). Check the meaning of Transport, it should help you get a better understanding.

3. For this, I'd ask that you put yourself in the position of a rider who left his/her house for the market, before a torrential downpour, got caught up in between, you have waited endlessly and the rain would not stop, under the pressure to go attend to other things, you request a ride, your hands are filled with items shopped, how easy and time-saving would it be to clean up properly before jumping in to a car, still under the rain?

I am not driving presently, but when I used to, I chose the Island because most times, the riders here are more enlightened and exposed, they know how Uber works and have probably used it outside the country too, this helps to reduce the issue of coming across unexposed and entitled riders, who do not know how to behave when in your vehicle, which could lead to being rated poorly amidst other issues.

A long-distance trip from the island to the mainland, and back to the island, is better and can help hit the target faster. It's like starting from one end and moving to another end, instead of starting from the middle. A good example is a trip from Chevron to the Airport, as compared to a trip from Surulere or Yaba to the Airport.

Frequent riders, which means more short trips, less agberos, less rough drivers like the yellow and black buses, less bad roads and so on.


Cheers!

Slickleo:
This man u re attacking here hv being more useful than u on this thread shw respect no be everything b fight or u start bad talking an individual because u knw 1 or 2 from past.

Whatever this means or where it is coming from, I honestly do not understand it. Respect is earned man. You should stick to the purpose of this conversation, if you digress, I'm out and you would get no reply. If you want to open up another topic for debate, please feel free, but do not change the subject matter of this conversation.

Felicity001:
Point of correction boy I'm not a commercial driver please! please!! please!!!

E-hailing is a ride sharing service that offers cooperate rides to my destination so I can decide to walk you out of my car if you're not playing by my role or if i don't feel comfortable with the way you look before entering my car. So get you little self educated first before you come challenging me on my roles.

Go read the Uber and Bolt roles of engagement, there is a cleaning fee attached if a rider messes up a driver's car. It just so unfortunate that most of these things don't workhere in nigeria, this is the reason Foriegners come here and do anyhow.

I can't count the numbers of times I've stopped people from eating in my car or stopped a ride half way and ordered them out as riders insisted they must eat. Give me 1star for all I care I've my integrity intact.

A rider had asked for water to clean his shoes one time b4 he entered into my car that's because he saw how neat my car was the moment he opened the door, he immediately asked, "chairman abeg you get pour water?" I didnt even know his intention not until he started watching his shoes because his road was bad to walk out... As a matter of fact we already agreed I was not driving further to pick him up and so he had to walk down to me. I'm very sure drivers had cancelled on him numerously. The trip ended I asked him to go without collecting money. Why? because he first brought the challenge even when i didnt asked for it (respect), big guy oh with fat pocket.

Uber will always say, "everyone deserves to be respected and should be respected". That ride was a Uber ride.

So what sort of mentality do you've? People from poor background tends to have these kinds of nasty and stupid behavours.

Do driver always have to clean their car at the end of every trip they embark on? All in the name of service rendering? C"mon men! Have some sort of respect for yourself and people will respect you.

It's the way you lay your bed a visitor will lie on it.

You're changing the whole narrative bros. You love to speak trash all the time, wrong comparisons, and wrong analysis. This topic is limited to how riders should get into your car with clean feet on a day when it rains. You were in so much hurry to type shii you didn't check to see where I said "some excesses need to be curbed." Little wonder you lost all your driving accounts. Arguing with you is a waste of time, enjoy your day chief.

Felicity001:
Oga you win your own argument holds an ocean in fact its holds the heavens so enjoy...

Me I don go

People like you want to eat their cake and have it. You want to run commercial with your car and get paid for it, but you do not want to deal with one of the many issues that come with that type of service.

Your mentality ehn...you talk faster than you think bros.

donfortune48:
What I did to the floor of my car.

I've got no difficulties cleaning up with just a rag.

Well done sir, this solves the problem, instead of swearing and cursing out customers (riders). I applaud your creativity. Felicity, learn from this.

Felicity001:
Mr. Customer service, this is not abroad where you walk into the house with shoes on and even sleep on the bed with shoes on, here in Nigeria courtesy demands you take off your shoes when you see that a house you're going into has a rug on the floor okay.

In the aspect of car, how will a normal grown up person see a neat and well painted car pulled over to pick you up and you enter with you muddy legs without dusting it? Are you a kids? Dont you jave sense?
Some of them will still step on the rug even when they know a carpet is there, isnt that wickedness? On a N500 trip, do you know how much it takes to watch a car?

People like you have entitlement mentality and heaven will be far from people lile you because you cant enter with those dirty legs and minds.

Repent!

Your illustrations do not follow. For a house, there is a rug, to dust your feet. Where do you want a rider to dust his feet before entering yout vehicle? or does the app state that riders shouldn't order a ride when their feet is dusty? It is what it is...there are good days and there are rainy days, so it is our duty to find a way around it and not that of the rider, except for riders who would intentionally place their muddy feet on the rug instead of the carpet, your argument does not hold water.

Someone was fast enough to think outside the box and provided a solution in form of placing papers on the floor before picking up riders, which should go a long way in reducing the mud or dust as the case may be.

Stop acting like you are doing riders a favour by driving on the plaform, I quite agree there are excess that are to be curbed but this is not one of it.

Felicity001:
Especially me that spends 2-3hrs washing my car.

Some riders wey nobody has been privilege to buy bicycle let alone a car will just enter into a car with muddy and dirty legs stepping on the rug

That one self dey pain enh...

Them suppose pull shoe wash legs before entering your car? Is it their fault that their legs are muddy? You're rendering a service man and there should be no discrimination between a rider who's feet are muddy and one who isn't.

One of the pointers of delivering a quality service is being nice to riders who respect themselves and act nicely too.

Change your mindset bros
