Uber drivers want to demonstrate due to under payment .

Uber drivers are not happy on how they are being paid by the company especially after working so hard and making long trips for the company, the drivers went to the street for a peace demonstration last year on the issue of under payment and now they are planning a peaceful demonstration and boycotting their uber activities from 24th June, 2020 until uber company find a solution to this problem of under payment .

Auber taxi driver, said the low rates charged by the firms along with bonuses offered to frequent users have means they make less profits than boda boda riders. A trip from the CBD to the Kempinski Hotel will cost an average of Sh150.This will not change whether the driver gets caught up in traffic jam or not. The same case applies to longer trips that will cost around Sh750 or more to destinations outside the city limits like Kinooo, Thika, Syokimau or Joska. The rates do not change despite the time we spend in the jam and this has severely reduced our profit margins,” he said.

Another uber driver said rates charged within the city by the taxi firms are too low compared to what they allow drivers to charge in other urban areas.
