As my friend told me, most of his friends had stop driving by themselves or either deactivated by Uber for some unfair decision by Uber. Uber driver not only will being banned by rating, also by many internal factor as well.
I even heard some of their payment being deducted for no reason and no feedback from the support team.
I guess to find out more, try become a hardworking driver yourself for at least 3 months.
Not sure what are the internal factors, but banned by rating, i guess is fair since their services is not up to par?
speaking from customer's perspective.

But can you accept getting just 4k a month (to be adjusted with inflation over the years) for the rest of your life? If you already work 10 hours a day for a month, and only get RM4k a week... there is no scalability to your income. Your fresh grad friends who work in Public Bank would earn a little less than you for the time being, but in just 5 years he would earn more than double what you would get then.
For the time being, being a part time driver would be best, and do not let go of your current work any time soon.
Career development is the key here. Do you want to move up the corporate ranks or expand your businesses, or do you want to be a driver forever in your life, eventually getting replaced by this-generation's self-driving cars?
why not ? depends on my qualification and my needs? do i need to take care of my family, hence need flexibility.
with my spm cert at 24 years old, what can i do to achieve at least 3k-4k per month income? working as sales promoter in mall or as a blue collar in factory, very unlikely to achieve that amount.
I m speaking on behalf of those people who doesnt have solid academic qualification, those who has degree or master in xx uni are better off to work in mnc obviously. However, i seen professionals who drop their job and joined UBER. Reason being, somewhat steady/consistent income and at the same time , flexibility , of course, they are in the mid 40s 50s. So far, i havent met young profesionals who quit their job and join UBER.

I am not an Uber driver, and I do not know much about Uber (save for a few times where I used their services). Hence I am in no position to comment on their operations (e.g., how drivers are assigned).
I am merely pointing out that unless making money is not your motivation, it is pure common sense to NOT proceed with a transaction when you know it is not going to make you money.
Well, UBER designed the system to be like that, no passenger discrimination, and you should know it when u join them, basically u ar going against your company for your own benefits.
