No unity between us, that's why everybody is taking advantage. divided by different reasons
Yes, if we don't use our powers and say no to their proposal by completing the survey

Hi,
Im totally new to private hire taxi and I just need to go to pick up my first ever license from Birmingham City council before starting a job like this for the 1st time. Hopefully by registering on these forums I will get good advice that can guide me in the right direction.
Ok the questions are:
- Where is the cheapest place online to get private hire insurance? Or does anyone know any local insurance places in Birmingham?
- What type of covers available for private hire insurance and what add ons are typically available?
- I have built up 6 years no claims bonus. Can this no claims bonus be transferred to taxi insurance?
- What insurance is needed for uber eats or uber health? Will normal car insurance will do for these?
- Does the address on the insurance has to match the address on the private hire license when applying for Uber? Is Uber a national company where there is no restrictions to where you can work in the country?
- How does Uber verify the uploaded insurance document whether it covers for private hire?
- Any other tips or advice on how to get the right insurance for cheap and what type of cover is suitable?
Cheers,
1- depending what kind of of car you're driving - there are plenty to choose from- JMB insurance for example
2-Private hire commercial insurance and for good as well
3-Yes can be transferred
4- same
5-yes
6-manually after you upload those documents through their app or website
7- JMB or direct line chauffeuring

Many people are concerned that machines will replace them in the future. Self-‐driven cars, for example, may replace us, the cab drivers. In general it is not that simple. Computers and machines are not good at the same things. Computers can scan and filter large amount of data, but contrary to people, computers have difficulty with holistic judgments. When you combine the strengths of machines with the strengths of people you will end up with something great. Machines and people are not rivals and they don’t compete nor replace each other like globalization ...yet

The judge has granted that the case will go to a judicial review hearing, which will be heard in the High Court on 25th April.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted your opinion and advice, I have joined UBER now and just require a vehicle.
I currently work at a college doing a 9-5 job and earning good money and have the school holidays off and wanted to top my income by doing UBER X over the evenings and weekends.
I will be renting a Prius from WeFlex for around £215 per week, do you think this is worth my time?
I am currently renting a van and doing small removal jobs but unlike UBER jobs are not always guaranteed...
Thanks!
Welcome to the plantation
You should be able to make around £13/hour after Uber commission . so for 3 hours every evening, should make around £40 minim
Now if you divide £ 215/7days = £30 per day the cost for the car only , then it comes the fuel, another £5 minim..
Makes sense?
Your profit will be £5 per day if you work 3hours per day every day
Good luck!

we all move to Cambridge then

If you are in your 40 years you might still have a chance and you dont need to change the job
IF your in your 50 years, you can relax and not worried- by the time technology will threat your job, you will wait for pension
If you are below 40- dude start thinking by now what you're going to do when you will be 50 years old as your job will be taken by the machines!
UberX is doomed indeed, the only one which might survive is the LUX class, the rich will always want a human pet!

Uber ordered 24,000 Volvo XC90 to form a fleet of driverless vehicles between 2019-2021.
You have 3 years to get rid of your finance or find a different job, machines will take over , trust me. IS not just Uber, all the big players doing the same thing.
24,000 drivers will be replaced until 2021 by machines
fact

This move totally disrupts their former core concept of not owning assets !!!!!

60 billions now and 24,000 driverless cars on order

Maybe is because your rating? what car do you have? because the jobs allocation is done through different stages:
1- rating and car age
2- waiting time without job
3- money per hour
4- how many hours online previous week

Waze all the way, you have to be naïve to think you know better than real time analytics from Google

Ive been testing different strategies to make my life easier, If I drive towards the city the traffic will increase my stress level but many more jobs.
When I stay for example in Esher, there is no traffic and drive more miles to make the same amount of money.
What do you prefer?
I would love just to work in one area, will be amazing!
In some areas is £4 minim fare, don't forget
I think its a good strategy to mix both of them. mornings and evenings stay outside of city centre and go towards the city in between

The opportunity is here, if you pay drivers more than £1 per mile and thereafter not take 30% commission you can retain drivers. Uber has the best product for the consumer who has no worries about the driver who is living out of his car and driving 14 hours a day, 7 days a week ???
I think the industry has moved on a positive direction, disruption welcome !!!
The giant is wounded
It is but in the same time I can see more than ever new customers in the last days, why? because of all the free advertise from media
win win for now

Softbank is apparently ready to spend $10 billion on the deal, but the auction process it's after may value Uber at around $50 billion. Uber's current valuation is about $68 billion, so—although some investors may be keen to cash out after a tumultuous year—the company would have some convincing to do.
Valuation just dropped because of that, Softbank is winning already

88k registered private hire vehicles
116k registered private hire drivers
New fees will generate £40 for each car and £60 for each driver, lets do the math:
40 x 80,000= £3,2 mil
60 x 116,000= £7 mil
Total £10,000,000
