skeptic Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Guys i dont understand what is wrong with you? I see every evening all the drivers around city going offline to force the surge and when will appear , bum 100 cars online suddenly. You might get a job on surge and make extra £20 or you may have to wait for the surge to go off because people will not request any-more. Does it really worth it to waste time hoping you will get that surge job when you can make a regular job and get the money instead of waiting? Do you know what will be the effect on the long term? For uber this means one thing, demand is too high and no drivers to accept ---> Uber will get more drivers to fulfil the demand.... So next time when you go offline think about it , does it worth on the short time extra £20 and in 2 months time to have twice the number of drivers on the roads which effectively will generate even more competition for you? Same thing the uber x drivers done and now guess what??? everybody complains there are too many drivers and is harder and harder THINK!!! danthedriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUED Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Only reason I can think of, is that Exec drivers often work for other companies and/or have their own clients. Since Uber have come along and taken over the competition, these drivers will have less other work, and will do more hours for Uber. Or there are other Exec drivers from other local authorities (i.e. Woking, Luton, etc), heading into London for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 There is a long queue of drivers with exec cars waiting to be accepted on the platform, at the moment working on X platform because they did not think when they bought the car, 30k car and doing X jobs. Thousands of them....of course there are more EXEC drivers, some of them they slip between I can only hope they will get some glimmer of intelligence and give the car back if they can, soon very soon those cars will need money to be spend on them its called MAINTENANCE Or maybe some of them they love driving a 30k car and do £5 jobs - woahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUED Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Uber are selling a dream. I got a letter from my bank saying I'm pre-approved for a £35,000 loan, with monthly repayments of £686.41, payable over 5 years. With promises of making £1200 a week, no wonder there are those spending those amounts on cars, thinking the loan could easily be paid back.. george 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imperator Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Moving from X to Exec in such a short time made this category not so professional, is not enough to have a cool car if you dont know where is Marble Arch, although Exec is best option for money efficiency from customers point of view, is not that expensive george 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthedriver Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The waiting time for jobs is increasing every month...its almost the same when comparing to X in terms of income but much higher liability george 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I think people are stealing customers for private jobs by paying commission just 10% to other pco operators just to be legal, 10%-15% should be the commission anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
