Umshayeli we-Uber uthi ezinye izikhungo zokuhlola zithatha imali yokugwazela ukuze zidlule izimoto okufanele zifeyile ukuhlolwa.
Umshayeli uthi iholo eliphansi nezindleko eziphezulu ziphoqa abashayeli ukuthi bakhokhe imali yokufumbathisa ukuze nje bahlale besebenza ku-Uber.
Umshayeli wakwa-Uber uthi ezinye izikhungo zokuhlola izimoto zisiza abashayeli ukuthi bakhohlise uhlelo ngokugwazisa.
Umshayeli utshele iMyBroadband ukuthi abahloli kwezinye izikhungo bayakhokhelwa ukudlula izimoto ezingaphephile. Uthi abanye abahloli bashintsha ngisho unyaka wezimoto ukuze zikwazi ukusetshenziswa kwa-Uber.
Uthi ukugwazelwa kungafika ku-R2 000. Kwezinye izimo, abashayeli bakhokha cishe u-R500 ukuze bashintshe amaphepha.
“Ngizibonele ngawami amehlo,” esho. “Akwenzeki yonke indawo, kodwa kwenzeka kaningi.”
Abashayeli be-Uber kumele balethe ukuhlolwa kwezimoto minyaka yonke ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi izimoto zabo zikulungele ukuba semgwaqeni. Kodwa umshayeli uthi abantu abaningi bangaphansi kwengcindezi enkulu.
Uthi i-Uber ikhokha kancane kunakuqala, zimbalwa izinkambo futhi ukuqasha imoto kubiza kakhulu.
“I-Uber isitshela ukuthi sithuthukise izimoto zethu, kodwa imali incane kakhulu,” esho. “Kulo Zibandlela ngithole uhhafu wemali engiyithole ngonyaka odlule.”
Ngenxa yalokhu, uthi abanye abashayeli bayeqa ukulungisa izimoto zabo noma bakhokhe ukuze bahlale bematasa ohlelweni lokusebenza. Uthi uyenqaba ukwenza lokho.
“Yonke imboni ibolile,” kusho yena. “Uma ungahambisani nabakwenzayo kuba nzima ukuphila.”
Uthi futhi i-Uber uyayazi inkinga kodwa akenzi lutho. Uthi wathumela ubufakazi enkampanini.
“Bake bangibiza, base bethula,” esho. “Bayazi ukuthi kwenzakalani.”
U-Uber uthe ukuphepha kubaluleke kakhulu futhi bazophenya noma yiziphi izenzo ezingalungile. Inkampani yokuhlola nayo ithe idinga imininingwane eyengeziwe ukuze ibheke izimangalo.
