Fools, that is the only way to describe them. Uber will win this one, they can wait as they have little to no overhead. Yesterday i was in Westlands going for a meeting in Lower Kabete .. Danish Refugee Council offices. I asked the kawa taxis and the fare range was 1-1.5k .. and they feel nothing/they just go back to their idling group gossip. Uber took 450 bob. Who is fool who? They are fighting a losing battle - technology and innovation is the way to go!!! In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

There's more vehicle supply than they can take

Quote:Uber Kenya has increased fare prices by raising the minimum fare to Sh300 from previous Sh200 in Nairobi and fare per kilometer from Sh35 to Sh42. This is the first time Uber is increasing its price after a series of cuts in response to local and international competition.
The company has also raised minimum fares in Mombasa from Sh150 to Sh200, Sh42 from Sh35 per kilometer and base fare to Sh70 from Sh50.
Uber says their pricing structure is designed to encourage more riders on the road and to help increase trips for drivers.
“We believe driver-partners will earn more as a result of these changes and that riders will continue to enjoy access to a safe, affordable and reliable service,” Uber Kenya said. http://www.capitalfm.co....-after-drivers-protest/

An email from uber: Quote:We're updating our fare prices Uber works when both riders and driver-partners are benefiting. Riders need safe, reliable transport and drivers need to keep earning. We believe that riders and drivers should have transparency and certainty around our prices. Prices are designed to encourage more riders on the road, to help increase trips for drivers, but equally, you want to make sure the basic economics of drivers are sustainable. We have always promised to closely monitor driver-partner’s economics, keeping cognisant of how inflation and fuel prices can affect drivers using our app. We continue to stand by that promise because Uber succeeds when our partners succeed. That is why today we are raising our prices in Kenya. We believe driver-partners will earn more as a result of these changes and that riders will continue to enjoy access to a safe, affordable and reliable service.

When are you surcharged by Uber? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen
