This what usually do, start from home, then, drop rider, then, go set journey back home, usually, even without reaching home or I detour to core area (if not too far), another request come in. Want to ask you all opinion, how long usually u guys wait in busy area before request come in? Sound stupid if waiting in busy area, but, no request.
So far, my luck, happen only once, send one rider from cheras to sunway, from sunway to subang, in subang, few more request within subang, thought wanna call it off, late oledi, got final request, what to do, take lor, manatau, back to Cheras

Other than that, 99% opposite direction one, best also maybe half way at kl. Then, got to quickly offline, before next request come in, else, mind unstable, dunno want to accept or not when blink

one side, want extra income, maybe go towards home direction, another side, tired, want go home.
It really depends.....short trip mean like from Pavillion/ Times Square to KLCC or those nearby condo. And, worst case, u stuck in jam or got to make one big round to reach rider.
if busy areas like bangsar, usually less than 10 minutes will get a request. I once ended up in shah alam and that take ages to get a ping. i eventually drive to Subang. One thing about subang is that there are lotsa students and they travel between Sunway - Subang only with lotsa short trips.
i usually wait 10-15 minutes. if no ping, i will drive off.
