Uber Philippines

I find it amusing waiting for what car will be assigned for me

An Uber driver told me before that Vioses get "cancelled" a lot. Namimili daw ng auto mga users. I guess it's good for the vios ubers that there's now Uber X.

Where do you get yun code? So paano Kung walang available?

Saka paano yun matrix nila? Ano yun surge? Saka bakit meron per minute charging so iba pa yun sa per KM?

Hinde pala pwede paypal Ang payment I had to registered with my CC.

ang kinakatakot ko lang paano pag walang available? Kaya having second thought of using their service.

Who owns these cars?

Si retz daw.

AFAIK, these are various parties who own the cars.

I saw on one of the pro-uber blogs, the vehicle was a black E-Class with yellow plates (so rental car siya). I'm guessing a good number of these vehicles are those from rent-a-car/limo services.

If you don't have a code, you don't get a free first ride. Use my code if you want your first ride to be free: uberlibrengtaxi

It's like a networking thing - I recruit you by giving you a code for a free ride, and in turn, because you signed up and used your free ride coupon, I get a free ride too.

Uber Black's matrix is 90 pesos flag down, 12.10 per km, and 2 pesos per minute if you're travelling under 15 kph I think. Cheaper for UberX (40 flag down, 6 pesos per km).

If there aren't any cars available, the app will tell you. Also, when there aren't any cars available, there's what they call Surge Pricing - rates are multiplied by 3-5x to decrease demand to match the limited number of cars available.

Most of the owners of these cars also own rentacar services, as confirmed with the drivers whom I've chatted with. One said that it was so lucrative for the owner, after less than a year with the service, he bought another fleet of Hyundai Accents.

It's a very straightforward app to use, very intuitive. Just try it once and you'll understand everything better as compared to just reading it here.

Agree that its a good competition. But should be a fair one as one member said. LTFRB should adapt with the changing times and do something to make UBER legal. It's a good test to their credibility. (meron nga ba?)
