Can you elaborate on the system of checks and balances that you use? tw.peas[at]gmail.com or here for all. 60K is net ama gross?
Can't the driver occasionally switch off Uber to do his own stuff??
They do!
Also, as one of them pointed out, you can also collude with clients to cancel trips. Then driver pockets trip amount
why woul I cancel a trip?There is cancellation trip fee charged on your next trip as a customer
I would cancel if I get the ride, and the cost is significantly lower than the cancellation fee and the price the driver charges.
Cancellation doesn't make financial sense to the client!!!
Driver picks you up
Asks unaenda xxxx? Yes. Ilikulipisha ngapi?
Soo Saba
Asks if it's a corporate job or your own personal job.
You say personal
Tells you of the suffering they go through giving Uber 25% of all revenue while they need to make something.
He discloses he's terminated the job. At roughly 2km!
You pay the 700
They will be on strike on Thursday
Drivers get deactivated if they hit a certain threshold of cancellations ....also for low ride acceptance rates ....(unless those rules are not in force in Kenya)..and getting re-activated again is quite a winded and difficult road if complaints on the interwebs are to be believed.
In addition, if some drivers go on strike, supply of cars becomes less and surge pricing kicks in. As some strike, some opportunistic fellows will jump in and make money

...and its not like there is an Uber drivers union to direct industrial action...you wouldn't even know who your fellow drivers are.
This is one action that will not gain any traction. The fail-safes are clever and if drivers think the platform will make concessions, they have got another think coming.
