Alon Lits who is the GM for Uber’s sub-Saharan area noted that the ride-hailing giant had researched the data assimilated from over the previous months and it is all set to listen to what the mammoth driver base of over 12,000 driver-partners have proposed and desired related to manipulation of the Uber app.
He noted that the feedback which was inputted was overwhelming and in great influx related to what they prefer and desire to be implemented.
The reviews served effectively in integrating the Uber Driver app with four specific features.
Arrival destination and time
The primary integration permits the driver base to schedule an arrival time related to the final destination and this will help the Uber app to notify them as to when they have to wind up their shift.
With the arrival time approaching and getting much closer, Uber app will associate the driver with another fare related to a similar course.
As per what Uber had to say, it features more room for flexibility and also permits the driver base to get additional revenue by manipulating Uber accordingly.
Long trip notification
The feature’s title itself details what it does. It will notify the driver base in the event the rides which they agreed to take on had lasted for more than 45 minutes. This serves effectively in safeguarding the trips associated between Cape Town and Durban with Bloemfontein being in the middle.
“No thanks” button
Featured as another captivating feature, the Uber ‘s driver app can now permit the driver base to reject any trip if they decide to do so. Typically the driver base can manipulate the app to accept a new trip request or wait until the timeframe related to the request expires.

Added by Uber, this “No thanks” button feature will serve to appease the rider base as well as they will be associated with another driver immediately
