Uber in Trinidad and Tobago - TO PAUSE OPERATION May 30 2018

[bluesclues]

How many taxi drivers get robbed now?

In the past month... about 10 in arima alone... and they take the car too.

[pugboy]

The robbing for car to used in other robberies is likely the easy attraction

[Daran]

Guys the chances of robbery from legit passengers (those using the app) are low to none because the passengers identity is needed to use the app in the first place.

Running Uber will be far safer than operating at traditional taxi.

The risk arises (but also applies to any taxi or PH service) when an Uber driver is waiting at random locations for their passengers.

what business that interacts with the public doesn't have risk? How many of you "what if" question askers plan to actually sign up for Uber?

True, but i have to provide the balance in a deficit because ppl here only stating the positive aspects of using uber for passengers and employees. The negative or risks have to be stated and assessed also.

agreed oh self appointed minion of misery But the risks weigh heavily on the driver's side and aren't very much different to those that exist in the industry currently, the cashless aspect mitigates a lot of that as does the fact that the cars are GPS monitored and both drivers and passengers are on a database. Most of the what-ifs aren't new to those in the industry and can be managed, drivers interested in joining Uber can easily attending of the meetings that started yesterday and get their questions answered. Hence the second part of my question, the discussion here seems speculatory and more akin to window shoppers

I've been operating a transport service www.taxi-tt.com for about 2 years, i'm pleased to say that my clients are satisfied with the service in so much so, i see this as the next step to helping TnT have a better transport system overall, that is just my opinion, i know others may differ, the landscape of the world is changing business is now at the speed of though, and i have a passion to be part of that.

Don't be offended by the various questions, our society is broken and these are obvious questions to ask
Don't think you have all the solutions either, would be foolish to think so....

Used Uber instead of renting cars in the us. pretty awesome service.

Would come in handy for carnival feters

[mark2.0]

[desifemlove]

What kinda fares you all expect to pay... or willing to pay for a service like this?

Any idea what is the typical fare and how it is determined, eg. Central to airport run?

POS to chaguanas, $60 pretty reasonable.

but that disqualifies almost all PH drivers

[2advanced]

^ it sure does.

Also, Uber will have an insurance coverage for passengers only. They're still working on the figure and provider.

Drivers are responsible their own coverage for their car and themselves.

Drivers will also be paid out weekly (by every Thursday) via direct deposits to their local bank.

Vehicles must also have 4 doors, Seatbelts for all passengers and driver, AC, no heavy tint and also a working radio.

[rspann]

In case of an accident, what happens? Most companies have a clause which states the vehicle is not to be used for hire or reward. I have seen where companies found out that the car was being rented out ,and they refused to pay claims.

why do you say that? Also that's a pretty limited list I wonder how they arrived at those companies.

[Cantmis]

^^^ Probably because the other insurance companies just stress you out!

Well I guess the insurance companies will have to make a statement about it.

Passenger pays Uber who pays the driver later. For the trip the driver is just giving the passenger a drop.
