Taxi chap chap is cheaper

Uber drivers protesting are fools. They think by increasing price they will get more profit...when in reality the demand for their services will drop.

very greedy and foolish.

It's fantastic, you even get to choose a radio station to listen to

My problem with them is that they have fewer drivers than Uber( so many times you will get the message "no service providers found")

The app will need an improvement of reliability and features( eg no route map in emails) but we should all aim to promote them as they're local and their drivers are happier than the Uber ones

Foolish Kenyans committing suicide:

Drivers may have a point...Uber is running on fumes:

After a discombobulated 2016, in which Uber burned through more than $2 billion, amid findings that rider fares only cover roughly 40 percent of a ride, with the remainder subsidized by venture capitalists, it’s hard to imagine Kalanick could take the company public at its stunning current valuation of nearly $70 billion.

Uber is doomed

Very true. They have enough cash to make loses for the next 5 years.

It's a problem with misconceptions. People believe Uber is in the taxi business. It isn't. The uber car owner is the one in the taxi business.

As for Uber and their profits. Let them take what they can. Do people even have an idea on how much work is involved in the app business?

Does the fella with only a car loan understand how much sacrifice was needed to setup the app? Ama he thinks app is the new nasa party name?

It takes time, time, work, work. So when some fella in westlands decides that he's buying a second hand car and expects more money from you. You tell him to hit the road.

Akae na hiyo gari yake.

Uber will survive. The greedy Kenyan without a business idea shall go on screaming if he want's to.

I know where you are heading to but I cant help but point out that Walmart is NOT
anything near being dead. Amazon has just made them adapt to the new environment and they are doing very well (e-commerce revenue grew by 29% vs Amazons 22% and Walmart reduced its 2 day shipping charges forcing Amazon to do the same)

On Uber, the drivers CAN opt out if they cannot agree to the terms of service. Uber is here to stay

We really have this misplaced sense of entitlement. Before Uber, 90% of those drivers were jobless...Uber has created employment and made money for these people.

Crying that 40k a month is not enough for driver is crazy...

I have talked to two full time uber operators who own their cars ( not employee but owner operators) and they both confided to me that they are happy. Both used to be taxi drivers before and according to them, Uber offers them a better earning opportunity than before. They may be a minority but they seem happy.

It may be challenging for those who have vehicles on loan and have employed drivers.

I dont understand why they dont vuka to little or become private? If Uber doesn't pay enough, go where the money is better.

Fools, that is the only way to describe them. Uber will win this one, they can wait as they have little to no overhead.
