Thank you.
4:00:06
My name is Giallo Tidjane.
4:00:08
Hey, I'm going to to talk about the 276 bill for ending the MFI Uber and lifted the activation.
4:00:17
This time, I'm not going to talk about my deactivation, but I'm gonna tell you some observation where they deactivate us and finally.
4:00:25
Example, sometimes it's happened to us to take people like the night.
4:00:30
And when you take the customer, he wanna go home.
4:00:33
When he was driving, and one moment, he gonna tell you he gonna like, he wanna go to the restaurant, like Wendy or McDonough, he can ask you, can you please go there?
4:00:44
I'm gonna just quickly my foot.
4:00:46
And, you know, this is not what we have on the deal because I'm going to take you from destination to the from the pickup to destination.
4:00:54
I don't have to go to the restaurant for this kind of situation.
4:00:57
If you, as a driver, you say, I cannot do that because I cannot go away there.
4:01:02
And when you drop that customer, if they report to, they can't say anything.
4:01:07
Whatever they say, Uber lived, they want to check exactly what's happening, and they will deactivate it.
4:01:13
It's happened.
4:01:14
I see a lot of time it's happening, not only me, but I saw it.
4:01:17
And the second time, so many people says that they know Uber lived give them refund some time.
4:01:24
If they make complaint, they don't hesitate it.
4:01:27
I saw it.
4:01:28
I'm not going on daytime because I don't have enough time.
4:01:31
And other way, it's happened when they ask you to make YouTube somewhere where you shouldn't.
4:01:37
You know, you should not met you during this area, and they don't care.
4:01:40
If you don't do it, they get mad.
4:01:43
You drop them before knowing anything, they can send Uber or lift notification.
4:01:48
This guy this driver was like under influence.
4:01:52
That's it.
4:01:52
You don't need your app.
4:01:54
Those kind of situations happen multiple times.
4:01:56
I'm not the only one because I have been deactivated.
4:01:59
I know what happening.
4:02:00
And I saw so many people had in some situation.
4:02:02
That's why we preview what this bill we needed for protectors.
4:02:07
Thank you.
