dukeofuber Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I realised everyone is going towards the city, I prefer to stay in suburbs as I move faster and although i might drive longer to pickups I dont get caught in traffic I personally prefer it, my favourite areas are: SW of London and South like Epsom, Sutton... Where do you prefer driving?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 If you drive for Exec or Lux, you have to drive towards the city, you have to chase the middle class or upper class clients basescu and LUED 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exec tends to get busy when it surges on X, as the surge price may exceed the cost of an Exec. Johny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 LUED 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though as I said, I use my second phone, switch the car to X and Exec, so the X map shows up (still offline), and I can see where X is surging, and those areas are more likely to get Exec work. george 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people do the same, they have the client app (old version) on a different phone and driver, when surge is above 1.7x, they change it quickly , if you do only x jobs with a 16 plate you have to be mad, in 1 year the interior will be doomed and at least 30k miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
