Well, just have to be smart and careful. I saw a lot camp at KLIA 2...no actions taken by crazy taxi driver
Uber seems to be experimenting on accepting cash

I'm planning on using uber later. So how's the guide when you take your ride?
Is it need to sit front sit to fool spad or just hop in back seat like usual??

After you completed a trip, there will be a field down there on ur screen displaying the earning of last trip...below there got show u your total online time and how many trips you did.

The previous version if not mistaken, you can only check your earnings when you are offline.

I once picked up a girl who was on the way to Zouk for obvious reasons. Dressed quite hot too. She saw my drumsticks at the seat pocket and started asking about my band etc.

Then we reached Zouk

Just now I pick a couple... and they        in the backseat.

didn't drive for the past weekend...feeling abit demotivating sia...the fare damn low...my lowest fare was RM1.50 for 1 trip

nightfelix u are ipohuber right? can cari makan ah? saturday i go impiana hotel ipoh to register but after see the incentive i walk out already... peak hour 1hour/rm9.00 only ( i am kl uber driver)

Uber's fare memang low...FB's group also quite some people stopped doing already :/

wondering should I try Grab

i read Grab's FAQ...kinda scary...lol...they say SPAD will sometimes pretend as rider and give you cash then when you accept..kantoi!

And also they might catch you and bring u to police station...after reading all these...not sure if it is worth it :/ and i am using my parent's car 

You doing Grab also?

I shared the link on FB's Uber group

but how they going to regulate it...still not sure.

Because of link removed? haha

Apparently, there is currently a demonstration going on by the Taxi drivers in front of Pavilion/Fahrenheit. Be careful guys.

u were there?

No, thats what you rated your driver for that trip.

Riders won't know their own rating, only drivers know.

Can you believe I got frequent uber driver that ask to cancel ride due to "inconvinence" and the worst of all is they start trip before arriving my pickup location. Due to be using windows phone app, the app is very limited in funtion so I cannot report them. Very disappointed these day.

The inconvinence is due to them not wanting to pay toll to reach my destination. I even have a SMS from one of them stating they are at a loss if they come pick me up. Btw today I did ask one of the driver to see what's my rating. It's 5.0. Not bad for a person using it for 9 months.

I don't really get what you trying to say. But here's my perspective as a rider. As a customer, we really don't have the time to think on weather u are required to pay toll to reach our destination and thus make u lose money. I don't care, period. I just want someone to pick me up from point A to B. All the details I don't want to know. That's what makes uber great. Now we have this cancel thingy due to pay toll etc. You as a driver should know that its uber policy not to cancel trip if ots not convenient for you eg: Pay toll etc. Btw I'm truly lucky to have driver rate me 5.0 star for 9 months with an average of 3 trips per day.

I disagree with your logic on this.

i.e. if your office is in KL, and you stay in Klang, can you claim the toll to get to office from your employer compared to a similar positioned colleague who stays just next to the office?

Just like you won't offer to pay back a rider the extra 2x if you are fetching him/her on a 3x surge trip, it's funny to expect the rider to 'understand' your predicament of having to pay a toll to go and pick him/her.

You can't just always just choose to do things that 'benefits' you.

My two cents.

I feel that your part is done in calling and informing the rider you will need 18 mins to reach him, it's up to him to decide whether he wants to wait or cancel.

If you ask him to cancel, you risk him stating the reason for cancelling as 'driver asked to cancel' and you may get into trouble.

Usually when you call the rider & inform them your ETA, they won't cancel if they're agreeable to your ETA. There's no reason for them to do so unless they wanna troll you.

Cancellation more prone to happen for those that don't call the riders to clarify their location & manage their expectations. So if you don't wanna be driving far & through tolls & Kena cancelled last minute, spend that few RM to call the rider & be honest.

Another common reason to cancel is when the driver overpromised & couldn't arrive on time. If you don't know the way to your rider (100% rely on waze), either give a safe ETA with buffer time included or just be frank with the rider. If the rider is in a rush, tell them they have to choice to cancel & try to find another driver.

The problem is that currently there is problems with Uber mapping logic and differences with drivers expectation versus riders expectation

If I am not wrong, the matching of driver and rider is based on geographical distance between driver and rider, not on route. For example, the rider may just opposite road of the rider, but, what the system failed is that the road is a huge major highway, and the driver may need to drive further 20km to U-turn back to pick up the rider, and all these will take time, cost and maybe toll. And, the problem is that if the driver did not accept the ride request, it will affect their ride acceptance %, which will impact their incentives, or worst case, suspended by Uber. To add further to the frustration, some of the ride distance even shorter than the distance that the driver need to cover to pick up the rider. Anyway, I always take it as pinch of salt, give and take, just don't complain. What pissed me off is that rider will unhappy why you take such long time to arrived, or accepting their request, and make a big fuss on that. Calling the rider to inform them, well, this even further eat up the driver operating cost.

Second is that many of the rider misunderstood Uber driver as taxi nor your personal driver. Uber are not taxi!!!!! It is a ride sharing app, where the driver agree to use his/ her personal vehicle to ferry the rider to their intended destination. If the rider expect immediate availability of driver right in front of you, or expect driver wait for you while you taking your own sweet time meddling your own stuff (driver are not suppose to start the trip before the rider entered the car), the rider incurred additional cost, and worst still, some area, there is no waiting allowed, or being surrounded with taxi (we try to keep as low profile as possible, to avoid trouble with taxi), so, these riders are really equivalent to what rogue taxi drivers to passengers, which I will usually rate them low.

As mentioned numerous time, it really take 2 party co-operation and mutual respect for each others for the success of the Uber.

I dun normally call the rider after accepting the job (unless certain situation came up, such as, traffic jam, i reached but rider no show yet, long ETA time, emergency case). My view is that, I am driving on the road...and if possible...i try not to operate my phone that much...and i find out that the steps taken to call the rider (starting from the app itself) is too many...if not mistaken..there are 3 steps...click to rider's details, click on the "Call" button and then click "Call" again after the keypad showed up. Not quite user friendly.

just upgraded my call plan to unlimited call...so gonna call them
