Just cancel the ride after 5 min, reason, fraudulent rider......but doubt Uber will suspend them either....

But, you can also put your feedback in help there too, but, their answer will be pretty standard (below, warning, wall of text)

Just take out the phone, pretend busy replying sms or whatsover lah.....or more direct reply, "Sorry, I don't feel like talking".....you think drivers can read your mind meh?

My method, I will not initiate conversatinn other than initial "hello"

Uber educate the drivers to be friendly, talk to riders

Which I don't follow, I just say "hello", then, mind my own business, unless the rider initiate talking first

Lol....everyone is different, just like me, driving Uber, meet countless of ppl, nice also got, nasty also got, weird also go, macam macam......part of parcel as we live in community, can't expect everyone behave what expected to do.....

I suggest next time you encounter super friendly driver, just take out your phone, pretend busy, reply sms ka, playing games ka, or even fb.... if the driver still don't get the hint, then, just reply with hmmm, sure they will realised

Lel.....driver also human lar, got emotion.....sometime, bad mood, better keep mouth shut than offend riders....

Anyway, my SOP, just hello when passenger enter the car. Then, confirm the destination. Then, wait for rider to initiate talking, else, keep my mouth shut, until reach destination, and say thank you. Of course, sometime to confirm the route lah with what shown in Waze....but, still some rude rider even expect me to know the turning or route to their destination, instead of me following Waze

Yeah, I even got rider give me exactly RM1.95 , and rider expect me give discount if RM9.10 or RM7.20. Some even worst, just pay RM9 and RM7 and run off.....I prefer non cash ride

Lucky you So far, the best I got only received RM20 for RM12 ride.....that one only 1 in thousands trip I clocked

I think you should be more concern whether you have return trip from KLIA/ KLIA2 or not rather than impound by SPAD

The chances of return trip empty handed is higher than meeting SPAD

Actually, the authority just want , unless you really bad luck, got press, then, too bad lor......after all, the law is still on gray area, neither legal nor illegal....if really legal, don't they just go raid Uber and Grab office, seal off everything, shut the apps down, and declare it illegal in all newspapers, warning ppl not to ride Uber/ Grab? Have you notice even our ex-Minister, Mr Wahid also drove Uber before?

Today really bad luck, almost wanna to cancel, waited rider for 5 min, when about press cancel, the rider show up..... lesson learned, next time, even 4 min, drive away, then, cancel. Lucky the distance travelled is more than then cancellation fee.....

Notice that majority of these ppl are those new riders, who simply use pin location, simply hamtam, always give wrong location..... Don't care, I just cancelled. Yesterday, cancelled 2 ride from same rider, both time also give wrong location. Sms no reply. After 5 min only reply, and the distance another 4km, I replied, sorry, to far, I got to cancelled it, ask to request again. RM8 just like that

KLIA/ KLIA2 only profitable if you got return trip, which is very rare, maybe 20 trip to KLIA/ KILA2, 1 times got return trip as countless of ppl go camp there. I had once waited for 30 min without any passenger too.

One rider (who is driving Uber too) told me he got waited 4 hours at KLIA/ KLIA2 without any passenger. Which that 4 hours, can easily recover RM60++ driving around KL/ PJ.

Cyberjaya all very short trip one leh....all less than 10km want, round round also within Cyberjaya....

Worst is that, empty car back from KLIA/ KLIA2, received request from Cyberjaya/ Putrajaya....got to detour in, then, the distance travelled all short one. Nowadays, if so unlucky got KLIA/ KLIA2 request, back empty car, straight offline immediately once left airport, online back only when reach KL to avoid getting ping from Cyberjaya

The request to KLIA/ KLIA2, maybe 1 in 20 trips, in fact, I didn't received any for past 1 months

And, you tell your argument to all campers at KLIA/ KLIA2......at any one time, easily 10-20 Uber there...and this not inclusive of Grab....which I don't understand, maybe their economic understanding is differs from mine

What is the demand like in these area? TBS, rider will never able to request ride from there, been confirmed and complained by plenty of riders....to there ok, pick up there cannot. They will not able to request. Usually, what they will do is they will request from some funny nearby place, called me to re-direct to TBS.

Yes, been to Klang once. Lots of demand, non stop. But, ride back to KL is very slim.

Yeah, very quiet....

Lel.....you still don't get how the hourly guarantee worked. You need to meet certain criteria, one of them is 50% at CSA and min trip per hour either 1 or 1.25, which mean it not just sit there, shake leg no need drive and moeny come

Chances are he is first time rider, that's why rating 5.0. You really patience....if I were you, I would cancelled it straight away. Did you check your car door for damage? If yes, quickly snap photo, send to repair, and ask for compensation from Uber, which then, he will get suspended.

Why I only got 1.3x only

I don't drive that hour too.....too jam, not worth. Time to pick up passenger sometime more than travel distance.

Same goes to weekend RM5 off, 90% of ride is FOC, ie short distance, while the travel to pick up location is longer than distance travel. Which now, I am very selective on weekend drive

Yeah, you would encounter more especially on Thursday till Sunday, since Uber got this stupid promo RM5 off....Just today, another less than 1km trip for me, lazy boy to walk back home after tuition.

All correct, except own free time....as I choose to drive when I want, so long as I don't care about money

There is always asshole riders same as asshole drivers

Very difficult, too many variable....core area short trip, then, within core area won't get ping....

Previously before they removed Cyberjaya as CSA can, coz that area 90% sure demand high, all short trip, either to bus/ train station or D'Pluz or dunno what another mall. And, plenty of blind spot

Now, the only area I can think off is Sunway area, as usual is Sunway Pyramid, Taylors, Sunway College and Monash, all short distance. But, problem is I still yet to find the "blind spot" to avoid get ping

Nope, at least none I aware off, but, I know there are some riders who pick and choose drivers based on rating, car and even race of the drivers

Different market
UberX - someone who just want to go to point A to point B, mainly price conscious
UberBlack - someone willing to pay extra for the ride comfort.

Just like you take flight, some want economy class, some want business class or first class. The split of demand between UberX and UberBlack can loosely based on the seating arrangement of plane lah how many % of plane is business class/ first class versus economy class.

1.5 TPH.....no thanks
