I had a good experience with @Uber_Joburg today! Sign up using my promo code and get R90 off your first ride! https://t.co/BP5LuQrMzK
Well, my first @Uber_Joburg experience was pretty positive. #UberX to Edenvale and #UberBlack back (no UberX available then).
Home Affairs is currently offline, nationwide, due to a power failure in Pretoria.
Okey dokey, my first @Uber_Joburg experience begins in about 12 minutes.

I think @GNat_J and I caught @sterkinekor at a bad moment. Out of stock of most snack options, theatre not cleaned and no change in tills.

One thing about the @Uber_Joburg is that they are pretty fast on the draw when it comes to responding to issues.
This morning was an #Uberfail. Our attempt to call an @Uber_Joburg car failed miserably. What is the SA Uber alternative?
