U base in KL? Do you realised or agree if I said nowadays lots of ppl quit driving uber already? 

I see, Im still contemplating whether to join uber during my sembreak or not, heard from a friend that someone he knows got car jacked while doing Uber, he went out of the car to open the door for his passenger, then suddenly one of the passenger went into the driver seat and drove off with the car..

Plan to do fulltime for fun.      One can't do UBER full time seriously (to feed family).  Well, at least not in JB.  I have done just 16 trips only, average 4.44 stars.  Since I got 13 x 5 stars, 3 riders give me a total of 6 stars!!!  We need to educate Johor folk what is 5 stars mean.

took me only max 2 days to realize that driving uber isnt going cut it.

It would be delusional to think of it as a job,

and insanity to think of it as a business, most of them do not know how to even define 'business' properly.

however its absolutely rational if u think of it as a form of 'voluntarily slavery'. I mean, come on, life has so much to offer you, why do you have to treat yourself cheaply, like sold your life to uber?

having said that, uber is indeed a paradise for passenger. I just wrote these out of pity of drivers who are hard working as if they have no other alternatives, these bunch of hardworking people deserve more than just these peanut payout, however uber passenger is king.

my one still ok for cash payment, the rider still ok to pay rm13 for (rm12.xx) , no complain, but something quite annoying me is why dont just show round up amount like (rm12.30) instead of rm12.28 ? they expect people to round up sendiri ?

Experience from last week's Uber service

Received a rider's call while I was on the road back to KL.  Upon acceptance I realised that the rider was as far as 8km. Due to obligation I picked up the rider from UM faculty and dropped him off at his on-campus residential block which was less than 1.3km. The fare was RM 3.18 and uber fees rm.0.80. The rider paid in cash and walked away smiling, probably thinking it was the cheapest taxi ride ever.

What I understood is that the area of coverage should not be beyond 3.5km radius from your location,isn't it? Lately I often get calls as far as 9km.

On a second incident, I picked up a rider who was going from Jln Changat Bukit Bintang to Marc Residence Jln Pinang. The fare showed on the app was RM 1.65 when I pressed collect cash. The rider paid cash RM2 and asked me to keep the change.  However when I checked the app this morning it was a different fare RM5 and Uber fees RM 1.25.

I feel this is really an insult and thinking of giving up all together.

Yup, almost tripled. Too many RM 2-5 trips. And we don't have the KLIA run of RM 75.

Most of the time I have the rider app turned on too. Can only notice 6-7 drivers online. And they hardly move so I'm guessing they just go online to get the hourly guarantee rates.

I think uber needs to spend more time to market their presence in ipoh. 9 out of 10 people i know in Ipoh has no idea Uber is in Ipoh.

So bro, how is the market in ipoh now.. Still the same ah? Im still waitin to get activated tho. Newbs here.. Haha

I think the ping radius still within 5km, your actual traveling is 8-10km because ping radius calculate in straight line but you need to drive follow road & making u-turn

Where are you at that time & where is your pick up point?

Link to Grab car discussion?

I totally agree with what you've said, as a rider myself. Btw any way we can know our rating as rider?
