Honestly

I saw the guy comment and I was like is this guy joking,
i would even prefer to go on 2 trips that will give me 10k than going on 10 trips that will give me 15k.



They should make it the higher the price the lower the rides sef cuz much rides would affect driver's health and car maintenance.


Their only concern is getting commission from much rides but they failed to do their maths correctly.


If 5 trips amounts to 10k gross while 10 trips amount to same 10k gross, it is still same commission they will have on the total amount of 5 trips they will still have on the total amount of 10 trips, but in this case, drivers are doing less trips for higer fare while their own commission still remain but they must have tot the more trips the more commission for them.


They should make the price higher and rides lower, let who can afford it take the ride while the ones that can't afford it go for danfo.

Look at it from this angle, if u have 7 trips daily at 10k and u have 4 hours break in total. Reducing the price now will make you do like 14 trips that may worth 15k with less or no rest, that way you drive extra, u burn more airtime to call rider, u make extra 2500 instead of 5k on 7 trips, while Bolt make extra 1k plus the 2k. At the end of the day it's a win win for Bolt and riders, while car owner face the challenge of fixing over worked variable asset and drivers r left with different aches.

The post was actually directed to someone, he wasnt seeking general opinion or help, and besides the young man also has the right to shut anyone up for pokenosing. He was just exercising his right on a public forum as u said

Spot on my friend,you really nailed it.However,most drivers are only about the next trip, money in the pocket, rental/hp fees and food on the table.

They feel they don't have a choice but to keep slaving and living in the Utopia of being their own bosses and in control of their hustle

radautoworks:


I found the request rude and nitigriti's response appropriate.

Felicity0001:

One would ask, why haven't these guys be our Moses?

Bros and pope191 you guys can lead let is follow

pope191:


finally madam rad gave her verdict on dis tug... in fairness when I saw the post, I chuckled and said to me self, taking shoot is allowed. Reasons not to get involved in this kind of help outweigh the reasons too. I have couple of friends/brothers over dia, I can't even think of asking 90% of dem such offer, cos deep within I knw I'm putting them in a jeopardy and as well pushing my luck too far. Overseas ppl sabi block number

sofdoc1:


You live in oshodi/Sango ota and work in Ikorodu?

You're the first person I've observed that has talked about working in Ikorodu but doesn't live around.

Back to your question, just kill the thought!

Sometimes when they need drivers they won't allow you set destinations and some zones are programmed in such a way that you can't set destination so the best thing is set destination elsewhere then drive to such areas

pope191:


Sure, I honestly don't know why people still go as far as using 1.8 to buy a car for this business

It’s simple, the general advice on this thread was to RUN AWAY from naija used cars and only consider toks.

Wisdom!

Don't leave me.....

Don't feel like a God. People do this a lot. Even on Fiverr, people make such requests and it gets granted.

People make much more daring requests like having their company name registered in the United States.

If I had known this is the way you would react, I wouldn't bother. I didn't go straight to sending you a private message so it doesn't seem like I have an ulterior motive.

Just to receive a phone from e-commerce website and ship to Nigeria is rude?

Please swerve.

For the respondent asking why I didn't consider using DHL, some of these businesses don't ship to Nigeria. Ask anybody that buy from eBay and Amazon, they have people that receive their items and ship them to Nigeria. Even the ShopToMyDoor that someone recommended, they have their agents in the States.

The mistake I made was getting in touch with the wrong person and quoting her on the wrong thread (my intention was never to post on Uber thread, it happened that this thread is where she comments most so I just quoted her last comment when I searched).

Let's die this. I never wanted to respond any further but someone is already feeling like a demi-god

My thoughts exactly, if you want premium or quality services pay for it. Executive cabs go come your house pick you up, dem go use you do shopping,talk to you anyhow, you go still carry am drop for house on top a/c and comfort.End trip na small money go come out.Even cabu cabu na waka we dey go find them still beg for price on top Jalopy cab. I thought the idea of this ehailing services was to create premium and luxury services to their customers wey fit afford am.

You really need to quit the entitlement mentality,everybody will always want to be at an advantage, it's the game and if you can't get the longer end of the stick, just drop it.

I think the issue here is that drivers are not looking at the issue critically...

Drivers come here to lament of how hard it is to get trips despite the #500 fare. So is it when it becomes #2000 that you'll now get the trip?

Since the bird has learnt to fly without landing, the hunter should learn to shoot without missing

Whether we like it or not, competitors will come in and reduction in fares will prevail. Whether we also like it or not, people will still be putting cars into this business

Drivers should simply look into other options of breaking even...maybe changing the tools for the job(I've always believed the corolla is now a wrong tool for the job), or exploring other options

Because the bitter truth is if Uber increases the fare to #1200 minimum, getting a trip would be difficult

You were not getting numerous trips when it was #500, then will riders rush you when its #1200?

For those who can't take it like me, jejely quit
