    Tesla 3 will be the best in my opinion, we need to wait for it unilt 2018. with 5k from uber and another 5k from the government we should be able to get for around 20k which is not bad for a full electric brand new car.

    The range is around 200 miles !

    Chinese car producers they are the cheapest at the moment, you can get a full electric for around 5k brand new in China

    BULLSHIIT!!!! what an assholes, spreading the shit they made on everyone    "This arrangement is completely compliant within the existing UK law, and is a common practice within the industry" 

    NO is NOT a fukin common practice u twat 

    They are desperate, but logistic was reduced to 0

  3. 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.

    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.

    Stephen Field, Fund Secretary of TfL Pension Fund, said: "We have a duty to our Fund members to ensure we employ the best investment solutions and consider all possible market risks and opportunities. BlackRock is a key partner, helping us to navigate changing market conditions to deliver the outcomes we require for our members."

    Andy Tunningley, Head of UK Strategic Institutional Clients at BlackRock said: "These are demanding times for pension funds and we believe the varied risks they face are best managed by understanding the true drivers of the underlying asset classes. 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.

    If you got a second phone with the Uber driver app installed, and you can do X work as well, keep it open and look for surge areas on X. 

    Exec tends to get busy when it surges on X, as the surge price may exceed the cost of an Exec. 

    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

    Hello to all uber drivers

    i ve been driving for uber the last 2 months. These two months i made more than 4000 miles per month. I would like know if this is too much and if so any tips on how to become more efficient.

    If you do 4000 miles/month you make money as well, right? around £4000?

    Each month for the next 6 months Uber will generate new improvements ???

    Tipping?

    Waiting time reduced?

    .....but commission still 25% which is way too big for these days when different companies are charging 15%, I wondering if they can lower the commission as well along with all these beautiful things???

    I am curious about the tip, they will take commissions from it?

    Dropping a friend on Brompton road  day time and 2 unerdover TFL agents kept me for 2 hours checking all my documents and why I dropped my friend and who was it.

    Dont even think about it and risk your licence by using private customers, they are everywhere these days, better to book your job !!!

    And this is just the beginning :P more and more agents recruited by TFL, this is one of the reason they are increasing the fees for operator licence

    so uber got the licence just before the new prices, how conve:blink:nient

    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
