At least you have a heart for the drivers

many of those replies i seen here are from the grabcar fanboy and big time promoters. Yes, when they get their commissions you are jaga senderi. Did you know that grab also has lots of promotion, other than their rm2 to rm3 fares? rm8 ride to lrt and rm5 discounts , so driver gets zero cash collection, Yes Driving for Free.
You tried driving for Uber and Grab?
I'm sure if you experience driving on both platform, you can judge for yourself. You can read all my previous posts and yes Uber is driving for charity. 5km drive to pick up rider going 1km ahead only. I don't need to explain more as I'm sure all Uber drivers got such trips daily.
For comparison purpose. Grab short trip RM3.
1. Driver able to see the fare see the destination.
2. Incentive driver will accept because incentive is base on completed trip. More short trip the better.
3. Those chasing fare will accept as well because at the end of the day Grab will top up that fare to RM6. RM3 paid by that rider + another RM3 top up by Grab.
As for the promotion. You just don't understand. Grab will top up those money in the form of credit. They did not cheat the money. Come on. The money still able to cash out la. Is just the same concept when rider using credit card. The money is still yours. More promo more riders using Grab. And is a good thing for us drivers.
Current promo:
1. To/from klia will get promo code RM10 x 2 off your subsequent 2 rides.
2. To/from selected shopping mall. RM6 off.
3. To/from the new MRT station. RM8 off.
Yes I started driving with Uber when they still offer hourly guarantee incentive. And I am grateful Uber stopping that and allow me to try out Grab as a better alternative.
