$12 today what a schmoozle..but then stopped for coffee at the local servo and the guy I chat to there said 'how's uber going'... I said 'not so good lucky to make $100 a day' ...he then looked visibly shocked and told me the previous uber driver he had just spoken too told him he made $1500 just on Monday :eek:
Got me thinking is uber paying these guys to spread around misinformation to get drivers out there or is Mulder holding out on us?:nailbiting:

If you do get a fine. Write in telling them the passenger just got upset and got out while you were telling them to stop.

Don't worry Uncle Pete -
Because @Prestige Bears & @minnoshh are holding a workshop on:
"Learn how to boost your rideshare earnings over the Corona period".
Only $280 p/hr and @Prestige Bears - he'll pick you up in his Q7.
Just pay minNOSH the DOSH!

Only workshop I'll be at is getting 75k km minor service on Q7 tomorrow, just $300 if you're interested to know.

Tomorrow I start my SMS marketing campaign, advising clients of increased in car sanitation procedures to hopefully attract work and maintain my earnings also with loyalty of my regular clients.

it appears to be a very difficult Upcoming period confronting the entire economy let alone Rideshare, what pearls of wisdom have you got @UberTopGun for UP members ? Many whom have genuine concerns with how they will provide for their
families

I would imagine within a week or two the entire rideshare deal will be put on hiatus; we are a conduit of the virus, its simply too risky having such a confined space be shared with randoms day in, day out. The risk to the public is far, far greater than on regular public transport. Are you disinfecting the door handles both inside and out after every passenger? Public transport is also a larger space, so whilst there are many more people, there is also a huge amount more airspace. Go ask any fellow ex taxi drivers here or anywhere else how often they got sick during winters; it was very difficult to avoid (and I never really got sick outside of that part of my life)

Personally I think the whole thing is the most crazy overreaction in my lifetime, but what I've said above is taking into account everything else that's going on right now. I wish everyone was living their life as they did through the swine flu, but its not how its going to be this time.

Blind Freddy can see that movements of people around the community are slowing. Traffic is down significantly, businesses are shutting, restaurants and bars will be ordered closed in the next 5 days, schools will follow.
Anyone who is dreaming about "maintaining income" in the coming weeks is fracking stupid....but then again..there really are some totally stupid people in this game.
And then you have the totally dishonest who brag about "maintaining income" and "SMS campaigns" (which requires strict adherence to privacy act regulations or it's $10,000 fine per instance coming from a business..which you are) to "attract new business" at this time.
**** me...wake up people.

Yep, once bars, clubs and restaurants go, we all go with it.

When we look back at what has happened we'll probably look at it as an overreaction. No one knows exactly where this is heading but while I can I'm texting every person who has ever used the service, probably several hundred going back over 6yrs, offering a point of difference to current transport options to hopefully maintain a reasonable income attracting previous users

My plan is to have vehicle spray disinfected after each job, door handles wiped down thoroughly and have Hand sanitiser and disinfectant sprays available as well as using wipes on luggage handles, try to make it the best I can

forget it, no one will be travelling, we are staring down the barrel of a full blown city lockdown this week.

which will last for 2 weeks minimum

The forward booking loads for most of the pre-booking transfer services, workers compensation transfers, national corporate travel, as well as leisure travel is down by nearly 80% (for the next 5 weeks). Most are experiencing daily cancellations of 70-85%.

FFS, my trip booked for this Thursday is cancelled today because the passenger's own doctor has tested positive for 19. That cancellation just cost me $1,200 and was my last booking for this week...everything else has been cancelled.

Please wake up people, there will be no work soon.....doesn't matter how much you spam your database....they're not travelling, and any company that is still travelling is about to stop.

Only a fool would advertise a disinfected car at this time.
