Gazzuz and Rd autoworks own their platforms.

If I am self employed, I can choose to reject jobs. However as an employee/partner I may not have that leverage, depending on the terms of my employment/ agreement.

Another intelligent post spotted!

The wolves are coming ... for me!

Perkins1:


No Izzou you're changing the narratives. The rejecting of the ride even with a genuine explanation warranted the smeering SMS and hence his response.


Now.. A MECHANIC has rejected my car because of his reason, and I sent an SMS dats y you're a MECHANIC! Now you can only reason it because you were not the one outside at 12am being dragged because you couldn't render a service you signed for.

You people just like using this statement without considering the present challenges the driver is facing to make him decline your request.
That was how a rider was yelling at me to disobey soldiers that stopped my car in traffic because their convoy was passing, I just looked at her like this

pocohantas:


I would never understand why some of you are overly sensitive and quick to play victim. Thinking everyone is trying to put you down. So, one needs to drive on UBER to relate to all your actions or disagree with them? Smh!!!



But they are not from the street or I like to think they are a special class of "street".

Madam don't quote me ooo, I don't want to be caught in your web of argument. Thanks

izzou:


I was expecting him to ignore. After all, you Don cancel..... Wetin remain?

I once picked one silly girl that was very insultive. She put Yaba as destination and asked me to pass Ago palace way(from Festac). She then later said she's going to Aswani side.

I then made a comment like "That road is bad oh". Opari

She started talking and talking how drivers are proud and all rubbish.... That if I don't want to drive, I should go home and sleep

I was just saying "Yes ma"... She got more pissed because I wasn't responding to her talks.. She continued and I was just silent. At few intervals, I'll say "Yes ma".

As she pay me, I just look her with disgust and zoomed off.... The saliva wey I go use ask God to uplift me, na him I wan waste on top person wey I no sabi?

My point? Ignore...

Probably she wasn't capable of filling up your cup, if you meet someone who's capable, trust me.. your cup will overflow

Don't worry, I will quote you when I am in agreement with you. Just as you have quoted me in the past and I didn't get all sensitive

Now Poco is the cause of all their arguments? Men always looking for a woman to blame. How convenient?

I responded to him that way because he has never been sensible to me at least. Outside here, if he is a customer, I ignore his kind. NL doesn't pay my bills and my temper was very well in check. I only reversed the lack of brain to him

We always find a way to justify our own wrongdoings and take it upon ourselves to criticize others. Human nature... It is what it is

Quite an interesting thread, you learn, unlearn and relearn. One thing is certain, we disagree to agree, and if we refuse to reach a common ground, we leave it at that...
Rider was wrong likewise the driver, "An eye for an eye" they say, if we go by that, then everyone would totally go blind or have few people living on earth, in my earlier comment, sometimes all we need do is just to tap into our emotional intelligence and that settles it.
A rider lives in a pretty bad environment (dilapidated roads) makes a request and driver says no...that shouldn't give the rider the effrontery to say afterall you are a driver you must take me to my destination. Nope, if they all refuse to take u there, common sense should set in : add a bit of incentive to entice them, take a yellow and black taxi, take a bus or maybe a bike... stop having a sense of entitlement where there is none...

Frankdamaxx:
For me the Uber driver was at fault. Don't accept a trip you know you cant make, and if you accept and cant make it, the onus lies on you to calm the rider down for rejecting the trip.

I know there are Nigerian peculiarities (bad roads, short distances, traffic, poor security) that affect the acceptance rate for drivers but be upfront and explain quickly.

Uber promised their riders convenience, comfort and flexibility. That's the mindset I have when booking for an Uber.

Im sure you don't understand how uber works or even the whole story. Go and read the whole story again. Quite different from your judgement.

I'm not sure you read from the beginning

One of the most reasonable posts here.

Riders should stop having sense of entitlement and need reorientation about this thing. Drivers can reject trips and that shouldn't run them mad; simply order for a new ride. If drivers always reject your destination, common sense should tell such riders to either add incentives or take a bike a lil away from that place to a place with better roads.

But this pride and sense of entitlement is ruining the whole thing.

But you responded that way anyway. The driver too never said he was right but he was glad he responded that way anyway. What's the fuss all about

Drivers can reject trips but they always like telling riders to cancel.

Me personally, I don't have issues with a driver that cancels trips, but they should be man enough to cancel from their Driver app.

Why will they add incentive or take bike when they have you the DRIVER the slave?
That's why many people stopped doing personal driving, it's because of all these type of things.
Especially driving women, the next thing u hear is "I pay you". Some even expect you to do house chores and run awkward errands for them

If riders know that drivers aren't employees or staff of any ehailing platform, we will have less fights. Drivers are partners; they choose when to work and can reject trip which they perceive pose threats to them. They are not bound to accept all trips.

Infact, these companies know this fact, hence the need for surge to eñcourqge drivers to work during rainy days because they know many drivers will stay at home or reject those flooded areas.
The fact that uber owns the platform is why they have share from drivers' earnings, but the ownership of the platform doesn't give uber or any platform the privilege to dictate which trip a driver must accept

Let's be guided and educated please. That " uber owns the platform, drivers are employees of uber/bolt.........." statement can only come from an uninformed mind who knows no difference between partnership and employment

peeps4u:

The way I understand Uber is that it's a platform that uses technology to take people where they want to go and the people that takes them earns a fee.

Kindly correct me if I am wrong?

An Uber Driver is not a slave. The aim of Uber is to pick and drop. Anything you do for the riders outside this is your personal preference.

It is the ignorance that gives them such sense of entitlement. Only ignorance will make someone think drivers are employees of uber/bolt and as such can't reject trips.

They are pompous ignoramuses who dont know partnership isn't employment, but hide behind grammar to feign brilliance, they are on this thread, pay them no mind

You can't eat your cake and have it. If you want to drive like a normal yellow cab owner it's fine. But if you're a driver/partner on Uber, there are expectations and fulfillment for the rider.

Have you seen someone complain that a yellow cab driver did not take him or her where they wanted to go? Or pick the person from his location?

You clearly don't know how ehailing works.
There is nothing like you can't eat your cake and have it.

The platform only brings the riders to the drivers and earns commission on it. Drivers can reject any trip he doesnt like.

Uber and bolt understand this fact, and that is why drivers are not penalized for rejecting trips except when your exceed the threshold.

Why do you think they give surge during rainy days? They also know drivers would reject many trips and wouldn't go to those flooded places, except surge can make some drivers reconsider.

Rephrase you point. If they are not penalized then there can't be a threshold.

Surge is a business decision as a result of demand and supply. It isn't native to uber partners alone. Even Danfo's and Okada riders have surges.

Even his compatriot, don't wanna dignify with name, has been saying "wolf" just to attract attention but I am impressed as no one has even considered him worthy of replies.
The way some people try yo coin words and use technicalities to justify wrongdoings is just weakening.

We don't always claim to be right with some of our actions Mrs. Izzuo.
We only try to blame it on our daily encounters on the job. Knowing fully well that we're wrong though.

OK, and why do u think there is mostly surge in flooded areas?
Why don't uber and bolt not worry themselves about surge since drivers are bound to take riders to their destinations?

And as for okada and danfo you mentioned, can you hail an okada at odd hours and expect to pay same amount in normal days? Okada will reject such requests because the time is inconvenient again and there might not even find any customer coming back, hence the heavy bills.

Same applies to ehailing, if a driver rejects a trip for a certain reason, it is either the rider use sweet words to appeal to the drivers or make another request. There is no reason to rant over rejected trip just as u can't rant over an okada or danfo for rejecting your trip.

Again, I repeat, uber understands there will be rejections and that's why they cant ban for rejection except you exceed your threshold.



Good night bro
