Both 2 cheeks of the same backside if you ask me
Yes youre right, it will be the same backside in same vehicle using 2 apps on the go. Not exactly a scientific calculation.
Most Uber drivers can't even use one app "on the go" without wrapping their motor around a tree or lamppost so with two "on the go" carnage will ensue.
Thanks Mr Poober, you just reminded me to search out 2 new investments - Prius body parts & street furniture suppliers
Not so long ago, salvage yards use to export car body parts to third world countries but now we will be importing themThanks Mr Poober, you just reminded me to search out 2 new investments - Prius body parts & street furniture suppliers
Get in there quickly Hogster.You can take a horse to water you can't make it drink
Actual price is double. But because its new and trying to get riders, it is subsidised by 50%. Log into drivers app
I drove last night for a bit.
care to share?... how was the app/pax etc..Log into drivers app
Did you learn anything from all those 15 cancellations?1. While I was approaching Earls Court on A4 from West London, I got first ping - 12.8 miles away
2. My radius is set to 1km, but I`m getting pings from 2-3 miles away. 2 miles in central London takes ages, people are not willing to wait. Looot of riders cancelled. Even I was already close, they canceled. I got so pissed off for that, decided to stop and went home. People seem to be willing to wait for 5 minutes at most. If it takes me 10-14 minutes, no point even driving there, I`m just doing dead miles because they cancel while I`m going there. Wasted time and fuel driving dead miles. Looks like riders are not getting charged for cancellations. And even if they would be, you cannot charge them if they pick cash payment.
3. Navigation. Taxify navigation(I wouldn`t even call it navigation) is crap. It's more like just a map. In settings I have set to Waze, but it never worked, I have to click on 3 stripes in top right corner and manually start Waze every time I start a trip. At least pax destination is automatically entered in Waze.
4. Looks like Taxify does not require riders to enter their full name as I had pings from G and " " - yes, empty space, nothing there.
5. No feature like on Uber where you can set your destination and Uber would try getting you ride going that way. I would not have to go 17 miles home empty.
I asked every single riders how did they find out about Taxify? They said AM news online, Times Financial News, Business News, social media. It has spread like a virus within a day because of the 50% discounted price and minimum fare of 2.50 instead of Ubers 5 quid. People say it's cheaper than public transport and they are loving it crazy. But obviously they don`t know it's only for short while and it's subsidised. I asked them why they took Taxify instead of Uber? 1. Price. It's cheaper than Uber. 2. Uber drivers often cancel rides.
It was my first ever driving on any kind of app. I was a bit like headless chicken, did not know where to go after I dropped off pax. Purely experimental shift. Went to Central London way too early, around half past 7, traffic was very heavy. No earlier than 22:00.
Lot of pings in central London. Max 5 min. and ping.

Who do you normally work for if you don't mind me asking? Are you usually based around central?1. While I was approaching Earls Court on A4 from West London, I got first ping - 12.8 miles away
