If I understand you well. You mean if a corolla 03 is within 2mins from a rider and an 07 is 15mins away, Uber will pin a request to a car 15mins away of a rider because it is an 07 Toyota Corolla? Ko yé mi rà rà.

Help me understand this, because I haven't seen or experienced a rider asking what year/model of Toyota I drive. Even when I briefly used a peageout 307, I still get my request well better. This makes me reemphasized thus.... When the car is neat, well maintained, driver cautious and professional... Money will hit the bank. Same money with a driver who owns an 07 corolla.

Uncle have u been in an area for some time with ur two apps on and a friend (fellow Uber driver) comes to stand with u later and request hits his phone before you Uncle it’s not a first come first serve thing ooo... except u are the only one on the radius..

Yes ur acceptance rate affects... but the year and type affects more....

I always clean my vehicle when I was using 2004... I also go extra miles spend to make my car clean and comfortable... I drive to my destination fast and safe... hit my breaks less and make my ride smooth as possible....

But I still have this issues...

I apply the same to my 2007... uncle no go there I Dey deliver on time and still go home with good cash...

The year really matters uncle it does..

I don't want to call you a young fool. Did you not ask her where she was going? So you take people to buy gas? Even fuel? Put it in your car? Hahaha. How long have you been driving? I didn't want to comment here again but you made me do. Son, always ask riders their destination. Stop carrying fuel, diesel, gas in your car for a trip less than 2k. Always call rider then use physiology to know the kind of rider you will be dealing with. Bad rider cancel and move on. Got a request, asked rider destination, rider said vi. But his voice doesn't sound vi, I went and he brought two 50liters can and asked me to open my boot. I open my bonnet, began to clean my air filter. He complained and I asked him to request another one. My car no free start. Finally, he was going to buy fuel. Always ask riders their destination. Don't come here to complain again pls

pappy2000:

So from the horizon of your window you have presumed you can give birth to me or know my age, need you know before you ever think of touching a computer, I've been a nairaland member, so! I might as well b ur grandfather. You don't want to comment on this place again? Damn you for whatsoever reason you choose not too, your reasons changed nothing, so spare the details, it is needless and you might as well shut down your nairaland account. I'll keep it peaceful and let your unguided and lack of manner of presentation slide, its a brand new day.

But need you know... I did ask her where she was going to, apart from her voice sounding angelic and stressed on the phone, do I need to ask how many people and if she is going to buy gas or fuel? You sound way to paranoid and pompous for my type. I only took her from silverbird road to 4th round about with an empty cylinder and back from 4th round about to silverbird (Ya! Stuff my happen inbet), i do far distance for myself & family, but do you think it was my day on Sunday? Obviously I won't d*e today, but can't escape that sh*t forever, so why so much rage from your side in the name of advice? I only put that stuff up to encourage, we can be more tolerant and not sell our peace cheaply to riders irrespective of their antics. If you as her now, she is on her right, cos she believe her money is reading and I made her to understanding the waiting time means nothing, I don't have to get mad or have my day ruined because of her. That day made me to brainstorm and think of way to get off stubborn riders that want drivers to wait unnecessarily... I'll simple tell him/her, I'm on surge 1.8 and he/she knows what that mean, we can end and request again while I put my phone on plane mood.

So Bros, try and act mature, you honestly don't sound like one #AgeDoesNotTranslateWisdom

pope191:
Make una help me beg taxify, who I offend, didn't have any bad encounter with rider, they always give me thumbs up and say thank you more then once, ever neat car and I don't let my tyres even get dirt... From 4.95 to 4.80, dropped to 4.70, now 4.65. I don tire o

And I notice this dropping is always after surge ride, picked a rider on 2.5 surge yesterday, the way she is squeezing her face self, she have to go inside to get more money, is not my fault fah, I felt for her and hope MURIC won't attack bolt after the holiday, but will all pray for better day.

Epphy:



Grandpa have vex o.
The insult from the guy was not needed. Nobody knows it all, one cannot know every time how a trip would go just from a phone call. One can boot out a rider that is too arrogant with diplomacy or even straight face. It all depends on the situation!

Maax23:
Lol. When u are killing dem with surge, U expect dem to smile and dash U 5star just like that , meanwhile most riders don't know how to rate drivers on Taxify app,

izzou:
My reason for these boring stories is that we can be diplomatic and polite about everything

Instead of shouting over the phone, or parking and warning your rider, you can just be silent and drop them off and move on

No be everything suppose be fight

protocol:
lol you started using computer before me. You came to nairaland before me. Someone who came to nairaland 10yrs after I did. Grandfather indeed.

On point boss

Let me tell you one funny one

It was a Saturday. It just finished raining. I was at Agungi with my tinted Camry 04 . Request entered and I got to pickup.

One woman came out. She probably was rich because she had maids at her disposal. Na so she enter my car

Me:Good morning ma

She: Oga, why is the body of your car dirty? Why is your car dirty? Why can't you people clean your cars?

Me: I wanted to explode. But then I decided to beg her. After all, my money go still complete Abi?

I was begging her and begging... She just kept on complaining and I kept begging. I switched off my radio and increased my AC

Got to Ikoyi bridge and I was hearing someone snoring. Madam don sleep

Didn't wake her till we got to MMA2 roundabout. Ended the trip and looked her in the eyeball and apologized again

She smiled shyly and then she said "I'm sorry for how I spoke to you. I shouldn't have talked to you like that. I'm sorry"




Most times its better to just let them feel like a boss. It's just for a while...

iyaegin:


Sorry to hear about this but you don't seem to be clear on where exactly you got robbed was it at adeniji or where exactly. but I suspect Adeniji cos there is some Police presence at oworo itself they are just before and after the bus-stop but they no longer stay at adeniji under the bridget these days...God help us

xana101:
I’m not sure it’s 3rd mainland close to iyanoworo. What date exactly. It would be difficult for them to rub at iyanoworo. My thought though.

donfortune48:
I really wonder why some people buy 3k, 2k fuel. As if they share their car with someone. I've never bought anything less than a full tank since I started this hustle, and I use it for 2days before I go to the station again.
I mainly buy fuel when I've closed work and on my way home.

Since my almost 2months on this job, my fuel guage have only shown red once and it was when I was about closing for the day.

pope191:


That's it boss, u want to secure the bag, she want to massage her ego. No problem, it all end at the destination point.

Na so

It's only oloshos that I usually have issues with( Wumengo crescent girls especially)

Those ones will expect premium service treatment, and still want to use transfer to scam me

Na there I dey usually bring the agberoish nature in me.

But in all, we still end up being friends.

xana101:
@izzu you are indeed a wise person. Me I always shout back and we end up quarreling after the trip they go there way and I would probably not meet them again in life so I told myself this ride is just for a while. Just say sorry and let them be. Most times it’s transfer aggression. Naija economy hot and most people are under pressure.

Lol

I got a request someday from that Onipanu toll gate(the #20 own)

Rider: Oga where you?
Me:Good after....

She just interrupted me

Rider: Please come to Mobil at the express

She kept calling... I kept picking and she kept shouting

In my mind, I planned to go there, allow her sit down, cancel the trip and insult her

Na so I reach the Mobil. She entered

Rider: I'm so sorry for shouting at you. My other phone fell into the gutter and it can't be removed.. I'm just frustrated. I'm sorry

Na so I weak.
