Don’t you think you should drop a contact number?

Omobarca:

Hilarious way to drive your point across. The Okada and rider scenario you painted made me realise how wrong a lot of drivers here have been treating riders. Although some riders are from hell, we need to be more tolerant. Business is Business, there'll always be bad customers

peeps4u:


Saka isn't the solution. You should have asked for what could have caused it and the solution.
You would even wait endlessly because no one would grant your saka request.

It could be your phone, infinix and tecno brands arent recommmended.
Someone has also given you advice to always update your destination in such situation.

Good luck to you in your hustle and may you not work in vain.

Eizenburg:


You do yourself a disservice when you check price of a trip before the trip actually ends. In most cases, if you don’t change destination in the app, the price would remain the same.

Thats the conclusion of the matter. But saying a rider shouldn't think of asking for stopovers is not realistic.

Let me tell you two experiences I've had with stopovers: a good and a bad one

THE BAD

Picked this lady from Lekki. She was heading to VI(short trip). She told me she will stop at the Palms to pick up something. I asked how long.Aunty said 20 minutes

This was around 8:30am. I did night that day, so that was like my last trip before I go house.

Na so I reach there. She took the token and went. I fall chair sleep. Woke up over 45 minutes later, she never come out. Called her and she said she's coming out. She came out after 15 minutes (1 hour in total). Dropped her off. She paid and went. No extra money

********************************

THE GOOD

Picked a woman going to the airport from Lekki. As we climb 3MB, she said I should drop her at Magodo that she wants to say hi to a Friend.

When we got to Magodo, she suggested if I'll wait for her. That she will spend 30 minutes.

Haaa . I thought about it. I could end this trip and in the next 30 minutes, I will still be roaming up and down, or I could just sacrifice it and take her to the airport.

I agreed. She said I shouldn't end it, and went in

Before 10 minutes, Madam came out with her friend, hugged and asked me to proceed.

I reach airport, end trip. She paid and added extra 3k for my waiting
*******************************

My point is:

1)Use your discretion.

2)For every bad rider, there is a good one. People who come here to tell you about how riders wasted their time on stopovers may not share their stories of when they enjoyed benefits from stopovers. Bad stories get more attention

3) Be polite about rejections. Everyone knows it's your car. Whether the rider begs or command you, the name on the particulars won't change. Let there be a difference between an uber driver and a Volkswagen LT driver.

We can still survive and make profit without being uncouth

Nice write up bro. Thanks for the info. Yesterday I took a rider from Ikoyi to jakande 1st gate and she asked me to wait let her quickly rush up to drop her items and that I should take her to cadogan in jakande. While she came down I checked the fare it was 2k, she spent about 10minutes and when we started moving I checked again the same 2k, we got to her destination and I ended the trip still 2k. I told her that I have to do review. I did review and put 2500 uptill now it is still on review. However, I she gave me 2,200 that whatever it is I should call her. I was really angry. Same yesterday, in the afternoon I took a guy from karimu kotun vi to eko hotel to change money, from eko hotel to the palms and waited for him 15minutes then to friends colony in jakande to pick up something and from there to his final destination inside jakande when I ended the trip I saw 2,300 I was mad!!!

Abeg!!! Anybody with saka should help my ministry. Pls, call me 07059962728.

Thanks

Most Nigerian used cars have been abused and such cars will not guarantee a smooth sail in the business so using them for HP is a big NO and a tiny yes. If you get a sound mechanic to examine it and you're rest assured car is still in good condition then go for it but don't go beyond 2m. Anything above 2m HP for a Nigerian used car is slavery.. cheating.. riding.. opressing.. you can add your own

omorkelly:

Hi bro, am a jjc here.
pls is there another way to upload inspection report (Uber) apart from the driver app?
I have uploaded only the 1st page (9 pages) but they are rejecting it; saying incomplete page.

peeps4u:
Bro, my own personal decision is that NO HP for Nigerian used cars. The car was probably bought toks and even used further in Nigeria before you now take it up for HP. Before you pay up for it after 2 years, how long more would u enjoy the ride?

My school of thought might be wrong though.

Felicity001:

*Yawns* This soji wey nor dey just make me dey lazy to go out go work. Completed three trips today, all join together no reach 1500.

Let me share my own experience on stopovers.

I drive in Abuja...

I got a request from transcop to national assembly ( short trip) it was card trip....we got there. As I stopped I ended the trip.. rider asked me why I ended the trip...explained we have gotten to destination. He was like we would have updated it. Requested again and it came to me. We continued. After like 3 stops. I gently explained to rider that the stops overs would not pay me for the day cos I need cash urgently that day. He wanted to change face I didn't bother. ..I only explained to him that though the money would still come to me following week but would affect my target for that day...he just laughed and said I like money. ..we laughed over it.. we ended the trip and continues with offline...I was with him for like 6hrs and he paid me well for the offline... according to him ..he did that cos I gently explained to him I needed cash ( physical cash) on that day.

For me it on depends on scenerio, manner of approach from driver and how the rider responds.

In any way. We drivers should not be rude to all riders because of one bad experience.


LET ME SHARE ANOTHER BAD EXPERIENCE.

when I was a newbie in the hustle. I got a request in wuse market ( for those that drive in Abuja) ..I was stuck in traffic. Rider started yelling on the phone. I was just explaining I was in traffic. As I tried to find my way out of the traffic..I was arrested by police cos I made a wrong turn...bribed them with 3k ..he was just calling me....I finally got to wuse market...parked in front...as rider entered...naso touts follow enter....we started begging....within five minutes my rider just abandoned me and said it's my problem not his....I was shocked. ..I had to withdraw from my account to bribe touts ...

My conclusion...there are bad riders and good one...there are ones that will understand and stupid ones....

As driver ..we should not be quick to be rude to riders even if they are stupid....we can still politely dish them

Carshopper:

This one no b correct driver. No n insult abeg... Na fact oo

Felicity001:

U c? I wonder how we are so quick to respond to inconsequential matters and leaving what matters to the most.

I’ve sent you several messages and even calls yet you won’t respond... Who is more serious here

Carshopper:


Thanks for the messages.

peeps4u:
You've said it all.

There are bad riders/drivers & good ones.

I'm most likely to accept stopover, I'm that nice , I can refuse on another day, depends on mood and some factors. But I will never be rude while rejecting your trips.

On another note, Fellas, for God's sake, let's not start throwing forgotten items away. Please.

Everyone has one bad experience or the other, dont develop your opinion and decision on bad ones.

Please, always return items to uber office or ask owner to order for trip to get it back if u can't take it back.

May our lives not be thrown into ocean

Felicity... Abeg do make you get car drive. You're responding too much to everything and everybody and this only points to one thing
