For those who still need to check how busy it is in some areas using the uber client app. ONLY for ANDROID You can download the old versions from : http://www.androiddrawer.com/28131/download-uber-app-apk/ And dont forget to disable automatic update from android. To turn updates on or off, follow these steps: Open Google Play. Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left. Tap Settings. Tap Auto-update apps. To disable automatic app updates, select Do not auto-update apps. or more easy, after you install the new app go to android play, search for uber client app and then use the far right corner and press the hamburger icon ( three vertical dots ) and disable auto-update

The best tool was the client app before was updated, you could clearly see where are more cars than other areas...

IF you know someone who can help me, i tried to use Ebay but no luck.... I need the turbo for a 508 Peugeot 2l engine Thx

Use your friends account !

I hear so many good stories about how much money that guy made , this guy made....but nobody is telling you how many hours those guys work: In one week you have 168 hours and from those 168 hours , some drivers worked close to 100 I mean 100 hours man, that is not a life. if you sleep 7 hours a day, that is 50 hours a week, 20 hours left to enjoy your life...to live Wake up guys!!!!

I tried to work for a local cab company to see the differences : + I was making around £10-15 per hour but without the stress of rating - More dead mileage + Close to my home - same feeding system for favourites drivers + you can take a break and go home and eat , have a tea...as you work in the same area - you pay £700/month fees from what you make If you don't have any pressure i think is better to work for a local cab company than Uber as you are close to home and you can quickly do your family job

No NO NO, as long i am there in the estimated time zone and the customer is not arriving in 5 minutes my job is done. NO SHOW and move on, no customer worth waiting more than 5 minutes....ah ok, if the customer is calling me and say i am sorry will be down in 5 minutes, then is a different situation! ( very rarely happening )

Hi guys, When i start working for uber my surge price income was around 20% from the total payout and now is less than 10%, have you noticed that?? IS getting harder and harder or is just me???

Vauxhall Insignia Is a very good buy, a 2013 model will cost you around £9000 and plus you still have warranty for it. Its cheap, economical, fun to drive. Compared to a prius is half the price, do the math , how much you have to drive to recover the running cost????

I will try it for the next 4 weeks and check the difference, i can not work for uber anymore if i will lose money like this and on top of that WE HAVE TO PAY TAX as well. I will get back to my local cab company, making the same money and no stress, no water, no fake smiles, no tax just cash based, no more city traffic. I think many will do the same or maybe they already are doing it. Even if newbies are still coming, uber will not survive with them, in the city you need experienced drivers, other wise you end up with a bad image I want to see Uber competition!!!!!! we will see it v soon i think

Picking up costumers from BAD neighborhood !!! Young dodgy customers from those areas, i will never pick them up, for ex the big house estate from Brixton, omg its a fukin jungle there!!!!

Welcome Sergio, how is Uber life in Italy???

No, never. It is against the law, if a motorcycle police or any police will see that, ur license is KAPUT. I will always advise, if you want we can stop so you can have a quick cigarette !! Easy

Well what are your thoughts on uber xl? How badly has it impacted the other uber business in your area? I have seen a dramatic drop in rids in the passed 3 months that uber xl has lunched here in london On an average friday night I would have around 8-12 rides in an 6-8 hr shift, a few more on a saturday night give or take. In the passed two months im lucky if I get 6-8. Why the hell would uber under cut it self like this? Obviously they make less on commission since now whoever doesn't care what vehicle they arrive / get picked up in has the choice of uber xl

And chase the surge areas at specific times Or keep an eye on the weather app so you can see the incoming rain/surge

Just read on commercial vehicles maintenance guide, instead of every 10,000 miles taxies and police cars need to change oil every 5,000 due to low speed driving and idling. What do you think? When do you change your oil? I know for fact that city miles are hard miles!!! I change my oil every 7,500 miles using full syn, the biggest risk factor is fuel contamination of the oil due to sitting idling.
