Attention all LUX drivers,

InstaRyde is forcing all LUX drivers to accept all Regular Ryde requests. If you do not, they will deactivate you. I emailed their Operations Manager ([email protected]) and this was her answer, "If you do not want to take any of the ride requests we send you, then you are not a good fit for us at the moment." This was not an appropriate response since I was emailing her in response to 200+ members concerns. I would like for as many people as possible to email her and advise her of your displeasure in being forced to drive at $1.32/mile. For those that are not LUX drivers, please email them also, tell them that you do not appreciate the FUBER tactics being used on Drivers. Remember, we are Independent Contractors, we reserve the right to accept/decline any request presented by whatever TNC offers it.

I am meeting with Karim Sumar (CEO, Co-Founder) @ 7 pm to discuss this with them. Let's make sure they realize that Canada does not Mess with Texas TNC Drivers. I would like to thank those in advance that will take the time to do this. United we Thrive, divided we Fall.

I appreciate all of you that emailed, our meeting with Karim Sumar (CEO, Co-Founder) was very productive. I'm happy to report that our concerns were greatly received and TNC Drivers United will work closely with InstaRyde to make them successful . The concerns we brought up were;

Platinum receiving Ryde requests - the solution to this will be for drivers to have multiple profiles. For those that are willing to receive Ryde requests (i.e. select cars) you will be able to select all. For those that refuse to receive cheap ride requests, email InstaRyde and you will be notified when this feature is ready.
The contract between InstaRyde and IC needs to be revised pertaining to the % taken by InstaRyde.
The % taken from tips will be removed ASAP, this was an oversight and we need to not hold this against them.
An increase in minimum fares will be implemented on the Platinum requests. Platinum will be increased from $6 to $10 and Platinum XL will be increased from $9 to $15. This will be a great incentive for Platinum drivers while working downtown.
Select category will be implement, some cars in the Ryde/Platinum will be moved to this category.

Again, those that have not emailed yet, please do so. We still need to make them aware that we are interested in driving for them, as long as this issues are fixed.

Your President

Those drivers won't last long. Anyone running a luxury vehicle into the ground at weak (if any) profit isn't in the game for long. Same applies to less-than-lux, but they tend to endure a little longer before reality slaps them.

I do not make posts to entice drivers to make negative comments, this are legitimate concerns by members and other drivers that drive expensive cars. So, my suggestion to you in the future, keep your negative comments to yourself, PLEASE.

WTH, Fella? I don't appreciate this lecture from you. I responded to someone who called Lux drivers "princesses", defending their decision to not run luxury vehicles at low rates. So keep YOUR suggestions to how I defend luxury drivers to yourself. Jesus.

I stand corrected, it was meant for BobbyATX.

Just a reminder, when you bash TNC Drivers United, you are bashing over 200+ members, and I don't take that lightly. We spend many hours meeting on issues, driving down town meeting CEO's and the City, we spend our money on gas, drinks/food during the meetings, printing, gifts, etc..... We have placed our hard work and sweat into this organization. Some of you have not bothered to even attend a single meeting, and at the end, you will also benefit from the hard work of the few. All I am asking to please keep your comments civil on TNC Drivers United threads, their is allot at stake here. I don't like blocking people, and we won't do that, since the info we post is important to all regardless on your beliefs. I just hope that one day, you will see the fruit of our labor and all of you can at least recognize that, Together we Thrive, Separated we Fall.

Thank you

TNC Drivers United President
