nitigriti: Like I stated before, let Uber decide that. You or no riders are not in position to tell drivers to take his car off the platform to cancellation. The fact that such driver is still on the platform for you or anyone to request means he's still within acceptable range of cancellation, which uber understands. Let's stop making cancellation look a grievous offence just to five drivers bad names. 4 Likes 1 Share |

nitigriti: Boss, there's no need for such drastic measures, that's why the platform also created a leeway ( cancellations). In the t&c you mentioned, the driver /partner can cancel if he feels unsafe about a trip. There are roads in Lagos that can make u unsafe, terrain-wise. You are not required by the T&C to complete all trips accepted. Bolt tries to drive up completion rates among drivers, hence their bonus/ BTW 5am-9am. I mentioned in the earlier thread. The bonuses should be tagged to such areas. This will make some drivers have a rethink n consider the cost/ benefit analysis. I drive to point A (#1,600) fairly good roads. I drive to point B (#1,600) terrible roads. Most drivers would chose option A. This leaves the rider frustrated. But consider this model Destination A (#1,600) Destination B (#1,600) + #1,500 completion bonus. Trust me a lot of drivers would b tempted to reconsider. This is the way to go. As long as the algorithms at their servers will not do a differential pricing as regards location (not surge) The cancellation of a thing will Neva stop. 7 Likes |

nitigriti: Your posts are purely contradictory. You clearly replied Izzou that driver can reject trip but should take his CSR off the platform since he is satisfied to play with the rules of uber. You can't in one mouth justify your own rejections while you were on the platform and yet you were not asked or bullied to take your car off the platform for rejecting platform, and yet in another mouth saying drivers can reject trips but should take their cars off the platform since they aren't satisfied. Rejecting trips doesn't mean a driver isn't satisfied on the trip but finds a certain trip not profitable for him, it can be profitable and cool for another driver. I still say no rider has that right to tell driver when to leave the platform because he rejects trips. It is his car and uber also understands, that's why those drivers haven't been bounced off the platforms. 7 Likes 1 Share |

northbird: Exactly. This is what should be done. You can't just bully or blackmail drivers into taking all trips by telling them to get their cars off platforms like only riders have the calls. When bonuses are put on those often rejected routes, some or many drivers will accept those areas 2 Likes 1 Share |

peeps4u: Since you don't understand, let me try to help you. No driver or rider should use Uber or Taxify's stringent working conditions as an excuse to cheat any of the platforms. If you get a trip to a place you don't like, cancel and move on. You would be a thief if you now told the rider "let's do this trip offline." Same, if the rider requests you and says, "let's do the trip offline." Off-lines are ethically correct only in those instances when the platform cannot provide the service the rider wants; for example, multiple stopovers over several hours during the day (Uber says 15 minute wait in-between trips is the max) or rider wants a car he or she can use for the whole day (both platforms don't support long — 2 hour or 3 hour — trips). And when, as a driver, you cancel, be self-aware. Understand how you are impacting the platforms with your cancellations and keep them at a minimum. This is why both platforms bounce drivers off as a warning when cancellation reaches 20-25%. I haf try. If you still don't get it after this long sermon, then something is wrong with me. 3 Likes 1 Share |

nitigriti: We have all moved on from that incident, almost everyone agrees the driver was wrong. I was even the first person to support ornicus on that case. But your recent attempt making cancellation bad is off. You can't claim to once be a driver on the platform and had canceled trips and now say drivers should get off the platform if they are not satisfied, just for rejecting trips. A driver can decide to decline as much as trips he wants, let uber decide if he is to be bounced or not. It is not the rider's call to make. 9 Likes 1 Share |

izzou: Izzou, let me put this statement in other words for you. It is not right for a driver to cherry-pick trips. It affects the reliability of the service. Cherry-picking trips is wrong; cancelling trips for whatever reason (e.g. driver wants to go and poo or driver doesn't like the face of the rider) is neither wrong nor right. Hope you get this now? |

nitigriti: If the roads are bad, and you(nitrigriti) asks me to cancel, isn't that cherry-picking? As long as the roads are bad, and we have a distorted traffic structure, drivers will continue to cherry pick and the service will continue to be unreliable When I'm in Festac, I can never accept a trip to Satellite town which is less that 10km even if the surge is 3X. But I'll accept a trip to Lakowe, or even Bogije(areas without request). I'll rather save my investment or that of my partner than please a system. It's neither my fault or uber that the roads are bad 7 Likes |

Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Epphy(m): 1:19pm On Oct 24, 2019 |
izzou: Why should I drive 5km to a rider knowing the trip is less than 2km? Some people cannot understand it is important to ask for destinations at times. I didn't used to ask for destinations esp in the morning/afternoon except at night most times until I took a trip to Ikorodu early morning, very bad road, more like a village in Ikorodu. Drove almost 8km there. Return trips no fit happen. I just drove back home as trips (are scare in Ikorodu on a normal day), after I drove a long distance to best areas to get trips in Ikorodu. Experiences shape people differently, just do what works for you and think about the other fellow (rider or driver in any case). As long as your conscience is clear, good for you. 6 Likes |

izzou: What is your definition of a bad road? And which roads in Lagos are good? I never told any of my riders, not one single one, that "the road is bad, so I'm cancelling." Our roads aren't wonderful, but any driver can navigate them with sense and still deliver the service he or she signed up on the platform for. It is an attitude thing. 2 Likes |

Ever since this Ornicus or Spartacus or whatever he's called started ranting about a driver willing to negotiate offline trip, we no dey enjoy this place again. Bros, carry your bad vibe away biko. This is a thread where we get to share our daily driving experience, its a place where we get to laugh at ourselves and still nudge ourselves up whenever we're down, share our daily experiences. It's a thread that has provided information about the perils of driving in Lagos, it's a thread we retire to after a hard day's work . No come derail us abeg. Just like someone rightly said, you're the sort of rider that intimidate drivers and hurl insults at them for tuning from 98.5fm to 96.9fm radio. 12 Likes 1 Share |
