I'm not guessing. I'm saying my experience on the platform. Not once, not twice.
You've been matched with a closer rider!

MobilityExpress:


Uber cannot penalize you after wait time turns red. At that point, even the Uber app will tell you to “cancel if rider is not here”.

MobilityExpress:


Your patience and professionalism is commendable. This type of rider is the type that should be permanently banned. Speaking so rude and entitled as if she owns the car. What a shame. To think this is somebody’s wife. God help that man.

lagostaxiguy:


You wait and she will end up giving you 1 star and uber does not care about how you got one star or how long you've waited since you've taken the trip.

taxiappguy:

Tbh i dont want to disagree with you but you are not correct.
Happend to ME as a DRIVER severally.

Here is some proof

https://uberpeople.net/threads/we-have-matched-you-with-a-closer-rider-wth.131653/

When that happens it is confusing as hell, because you have already called your rider and you are on your way to them and then suddenly the trip changes (you may not even notice when that happens) and then suddenly somebody else is calling you and describing something else. It's also quite annoying.

Lolzz, no be small thing. We gat to be sharp these days. I don't park anyhow in ikoyi sha.
I did Jason statham style of driving too in ikeja when those lasma and their mopol stop me they even injured my car with their gun. Mehn to survive in this Lagos no be moi moi

Gentlelife50:
See how long I waited ooo after driving in this bad road and see I drove from ajiwe to this place ooo

Megadrop:
No sir its not intentional, you are wrong sir. The reason why the drivers kept changing was that they were cancelling the request. Uber operates like this, when a request is cancelled by a driver the request goes to the next closest driver to the rider. So if you are a rider and u make a request and different drivers kept calling you just know it that they are cancelling/declining the request until it gets to who is willing to go on that trip.

deedee44:

Okay now I somewhat believe, but this is Nigeria where most times seeing is the only believing

deedee44:

Hmmm I think you are the one who's wrong
I've carried riders going to God forsaken areas and I had to negotiate offline and [b]end trip with them already inside my car, you have to request again [/b]when a driver cancels on you

Gentlelife50:

But then it used to count when it comes to cancellation rate. I don't know about the app though.

Please expert in the house what can we do to this fraud by riders
I picked up a rider from No. 1 Engineering Rd, Ifako Agege, Lagos to Jibowu yaba which is about 55mins drive and 19km in distance after ending the trip I shaw 400 naira.... with all the holdup uber calculated 400 naira for me, it was a riders fraud I could see it in his eyes. I av called him severally to inform him that he defrauded me but he wouldn't pick my call.

I have not read through the thread, but hope you didn't take her?

toomush:



Didn't know about the boost thing, I'm a new driver, how many trips for me to qualify for boost?

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

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.

Gentlelife50:

Taken, thanks
I didn't want to cancel because of too many cancellations I don't normally wait this long. I don't even go this far to pick a rider

Megadrop:
Bro, go get ur facts right, ending a trip is different from cancelling a request. When a request is made from a rider and the closest driver accepts and cancels, the uber server will immediately assign the request to another driver that is close and if there's no driver within that axis then the rider is notified that u have cancelled and he/she will have to request again. That's why you keep getting same request from same rider when you cancel cos there's no driver close and it also accounts for some long pickup location.

deedee44:

This is where you're getting it wrong, if a driver let's a request slide it will automatically go to another driver. That's because the first/closest driver didn't respond but once a driver accepts , that's the end of the search, if the driver cancels afterwards that rider will have to make another request, app won't find another driver automatically

brogxy:

I don't know how Uber operates but I had an experience where the I was the fourth driver that called that got his request.
He was surprised when I told him I wasn't the one he spoke with earlier because the last driver already told him he was on his way to him. Guess those drivers cancelled then the request went to another driver.
I think this has happened like three time to me.

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.
