....and little cab. I am increasingly using them. One very early morning I paid 790 for a distance that would have cost me 2100 after negotiating and my mouth running dry Lord, thank you!

All vehicle owners....Uber is changing tact and forcing riders to pay with a card. Mmewasumbua sana remitting their cut. For instance what they did with my account is this,..they levied a cancellation charge out of the blue, I hadnt summoned a cab. Next time I tried to hail a ride I had to offset the fine but the app would not accept a cash payment. I had to add a card. Immediately I added a card, the fine was set to 0 without a deduction. I could not delete the card, and I can't choose the cash option. Its disabled.
So, the rules have changed. You have to send your drivers out there with enough fuel for the day (a cab I was in just now almost ran out), and you will need to tell your drivers not to cancel on card passengers cause in a very short period of time there will be no cash paying passengers left.
Sayonara.

In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

How is the UBER business for those in the business ? I am thinking of getting a few car for the business and would appreciate some insights on how the returns are these days
I maybe jumping in late in the day but the few drivers i talk to, they seem to be managing some good returns

Compe Quote:On Thursday, EkoRent, a leading Finnish electric mobility company operating under local name EkoRent Africa, announced the launch of Nopia Ride, the first ever full electric mobility service in East Africa.
In the first phase of the investment program, the company has kickstarted operations that is set to see the number of electric vehicles increase to several hundred by the end of the year. https://www.pulselive.co...n-nairobi-id8709437.html
