zzzz Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I remember years back in the Red Light District of Amsterdam, a very beautiful redhead from Canada was telling me that her father was a taxi driver and when one of his customers asked to be taken to a whore house, he would bring him home for his wife... I imagine you can make more if you have something else going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Well that was an interesting experience, all two months of it. I've been declined by Uber, I'm almost thankful, after the hoop jumping I've endured and the small herd of 20 somethings with iPads with 3 options on them, that I've had to try and communicate with. "...it seems you are not be eligible to partner with us." verbatim, English to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Just as well “I am not be eligible" for Uber, I just got an Interesting Letter from NZ Transport Agency. Basically it warns me to not drive for Uber. It also threatens that I could be prosecuted in a variety of manners. I’m wondering, given that all I’ve done is sign a few forms, to allow Uber to do a background check on me, how NZ Transport can invade my privacy and threaten me. as I say Interesting.

Coss Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm glad I didn't get accepted by Uber, the horror stories are legion . Essentially it boils down to Driver pays for every thing, car, tax, fuel, everything, Uber provides no sick leave, no insurance, no nothing, just the app. People sit in their car for long hours and get amounts like $3 an hour. They are not employed. Uber pays nothing to anyone apart from poverty money to the driver. This business model has moved to MacDonalds, KFC, Amazon, et al. Global poverty is the name of the game for these giants. The initial appeal of cheap car ride instead of taxi has worn off. Now I wouldn't take an Uber if you promised me riches.

bust Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 They have also introduced now an imposed cut-off for 6 hours after being online for 12 hours. Know a guy who drive the Black/Luxury and does an 84 hour shift for around $12.00 an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted December 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Well there are some who are doing well, but here in NZ, it's picking up the Indian Taxi Drivers who are not doing well at the Taxi companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
