GAZZUZZ:
just realised one of my vehicles has 2 drivers, a vampire and a lycan we know what to do.

Investors, watch for impossible mileage intervals in ap week.

Meanwhile I don't mind hiring 1 car to 2drivers o! As long as they will not quarrel about fuel level, and I get better returns on my investment why not.

Investors what are your views?

Greeting from my observation bay.

I have been driving Honda Civic for almost 12months now and I do average of 250km everyday. Sitting inside Honda Civic day in day out. I think I can advise on the car. The car looks small from the outside but the inside is like that of Corolla.

Honda Civic is strong but the issue is that the car is low. You have to be careful on rough road to avoid dent by your side. It's juts like driving corolla sport. The low arm bushing is a major problem with the car. But I have resolved to knack bushing to the other arm since I tried it with one and it works.

Every other thing is perfect. No wiring wahala, no a/c issue since I bought the car. The A/C is mortuary standard.

Thanks a lot bro. I didn't even reason things this way in the first place. She called to negotiate a trip worth minimum of 5k yesterday (I was driving home then), agreed on fare, later she demanded I called her when I got home n was settled (this was like 11.50pm) got home n called back as agreed, that was when her intentions were made known. Babe Is a sex starved nympho n a 3some'ist, but as she cant afford a 3some, a one on one would fulfill her fantasies. One of my rules of thumb is to thoroughly scrutinize things that presents itself easily. Proverbs 7 6-27 reminded me of d consequences.,May God help us all.

I personally believe Uber and Taxify are not doing enough to get customers in Nigeria.
And this is the beginning of all stakeholder's woes.
Granted, everyday; new riders are starting to use ride share as their preferred means of transportation. But also, a lot of drivers and owners have heard you can make some money on ride share, and they are signing up by the thousands monthly.
I don't know what revenue figures these companies are posting (although I have a feeling profits are increasing), but what I do know is that ever since the inception of ride share in Nigeria, earnings have been on a steady decline.

Initially it was that you could make 100,000 per week. Of course a good percentage of this was some sort of incentive or the other.
Requests were easier to find for drivers, this was not because there were so many riders but because the ratio of riders to vehicles was much lower than it is now.

When Uber came to Nigeria, there was a loud bang. Even though everybody heard of Uber at the same time; obviously riders got a head start on Partner-drivers. Think about this, for a rider to begin to use the app, all he had to do was download it and start using the service. A Partner-Driver on the other hand had to buy/own a duly registered vehicle, do an inspection, go through a training session and a test before they could start to use the app. Riders had a 1000 Naira entrance threshold into using the app, that same threshold was about 2,000,000 Naira for Partner-Drivers.

So very quickly, rider numbers swelled, and when partner-drivers began using the app the riders were waiting.
At that time Uber was all over the blogs, it was new so it was on everybody's social media timeline. People wanted to be the first to tell their friends about rideshare. The cool new way to get around.
But the novelty has long since worn off now, in fact in some cases, rideshare is beginning to get a bad rap among riders. You can go on social media to see how many negative reviews are starting to creep up on Uber and Taxify, despite their usually excellent service.

and, it's almost beginning to feel like demand is starting to out weigh supply.
When Uber first came, they had great programs for getting new users on board. There was the Uber brand ambassador program, there was their partner referral program, there were all sorts of incentives. He'll, everybody was talking about it. "Make 400,000 Naira per month with your car, signup on Uber!"
I still remember those days with a warm smile.
Uber stopped almost all of these except for partner referrals and one or two scattered incentives here and there that seem more like plastic gimmicks than true incentives.

No customer acquisition programs, no ads. Just a boring "Get 500 Naira discount upon registration" that nobody knows about.

Thankfully, I have begun seeing and hearing Uber adverts in Nigeria now. I still think they are missing that human, word-of-mouth feel that their old programs gave them, where your friends and family wanted you to use an Uber. But what do I know.
Please Uber especially (because you take 25% and hence should have a bigger marketing budget) a lot of us are depending on you getting your act right.

We are waaaaay more heavily invested in this than you are, we need the the realities to reflect this. You need to reinvest more of that money into customer acquisition. We need to see you actively trying to get us more customers.

You all need to pay extra focus on getting new riders especially if you insist on taking 25%(and 15%). There are too many vehicles on the platform and too little riders. If you do not work on getting new riders for your investors to feed on. It's your 25% they will start looking at next, and if they can't get a part of it, they will go to a platform that offers them more riders/earnings, Taxify, take note with your 15%.

If you all don't invest in more programs that will get us stakeholders more riders, someone else will.
This is not a shade or a sub, it's a piece of advice.

Mboi2:
You guys are wonderful, any day I don't visit this thread it will look as if I 'm missing a lot.
Anyways I want ask: 2012 Kia Rio and 2006 Honda civic, which is better for uber/taxify?

Gentlelife50:

Very correct, they were even busy advertising how female riders can hook up with their drivers.
