  1. Chinese car producers they are the cheapest at the moment, you can get a full electric for around 5k brand new in China
  2. Thousands of drivers, including myself, received warnings in the Uber app about using Fake GPS programs on our phones and tablets. Hundreds, if not thousands of other drivers received other warnings on a wide variety of infractions Uber has reached a point where they have far more drivers than they need and it seems that the weeding process has begun. With a surplus of drivers, they can afford to weed out the worst ones and keep the best. https://www.ridester.com/uber-fake-gps-deactivation/
  3. https://www.blackrock.com/corporate/en-gb/newsroom/press-releases/article/corporate-one/press-releases/tfl-pension-fund-investment-mandate_GB London – June 11, 2015 – TfL Pension Fund ('The Fund') has appointed BlackRock to manage liability-driven investing (LDI) and passive equity portfolios totaling £3.8bn assets. The £1.6bn LDI mandate will include measures to protect the Fund from market uncertainties, including inflation as well as interest rate and equity volatility, whist having measured exposure to risk to achieve excess positive returns. The Fund's £2.2bn passive equity exposure will include investments across a range of index funds. The primary objective is for the Fund to hold sufficient assets to meet its member liabilities. This new mandate follows an initial £100m commitment made by the Fund into the BlackRock Renewable Income in March 2014 - a UK-focused fund that invests in onshore wind, offshore wind and solar projects - which is part of a strategy to introduce new asset classes into the Fund's alternatives portfolio.

BlackRock is a key partner, helping us to navigate changing market conditions to deliver the outcomes we require for our members."

We look forward to bringing together the best of BlackRock's investment and risk management platform to deliver the best outcomes for the Fund members." The Fund has over 82,000 members with assets of £7.3bn as at March 31 2014, across multi-asset index strategies, enhanced index funds, bonds, global equities and alternatives.

  4. nothing for me, I think is too late maybe, the average customer is not going to tip after getting used to it in all these years of no tipping policy
  5. Its the golden rule !!! who is doing the other way around is either new or ....
  6. I agree, if you have a car which can be used both for x and exec is by far the best option and most efficient, hoping you don't have a 16 plate E class a 12 plate one will be perfect, the old drivers have this opportunity
  7. Every Monday Uber will send our details to TFL, they can crossover to check if you work for another company as well! They have all the details gguys, HMRC all the income details...make sure you're withnin the limits
  8. and you get a pool job after 2 hours waiting, woahahahaha
  9. I keep seeing ads with this soft which will make us all 30% richer , does actually work?
  10. If you do 4000 miles/month you make money as well, right? around £4000?
  11. I am curious about the tip, they will take commissions from it?
  12. And this is just the beginning more and more agents recruited by TFL, this is one of the reason they are increasing the fees for operator licence
  13. Or not, according to researchs. from 2025 more than 80% of the cars sold will be electric. City will change the infrastructure but they want some money from the car producers because is in their best interest, makes sense anyway
  14. 2000 drivers fined , only in March. Pay attention guys
  15. Asking and then not answering, as usual
  16. Manchester is going to be the second London, so many investments...is good, go for it mate
  17. Just for 4 months to distract our attention and then of course will be 5 years for the same old price. IS going to be a game changer for those 113 operators who have more than 100 cars, the threshold should be between 500 and 1000, not 100. Is good for Uber because many operators will collapse, cant afford to pay £160k
  18. For Uber X earnings will be around £160 For Uber Exec earnings will be around £180 For LUX maybe £200 All of these is heavily dependent on your rating and car age/model. This is my own opinion, yours?
