Not you, the other guy.

You doing it full time or part time ?

At worse, it's gaming. At best, it's bad practice.

This thread was meant to be a resource and q&a for old and new drivers to share thoughts and ask questions. Every other day you come inside here and spew all this negativity and sharing all your so called tips, which is as I said above, bad practice. (I.e. calling rider to ask destination , asking rider to cancel, etc).

It is already ascertained for a fact that those who are driving for Uber (or Grab) needs the income / additional income. Whether it's worth it to the driver or not, it's up to him. So yes, we are all lap dogs for Uber cause Uber is providing a platform for people to make money (no matter how much or less).

So like I have told you many times before. If you have some proper sharing , you are more than welcomed to share. But if it's just condescending remarks every other day, then seriously why are you wasting your time in here when obviously you can be making money doing something better ?

It's like I started a thread on Baking Cakes tips and pointers and all you do is come in here every other day to say 'Eating too much cake can kill you'. Gosh it's dreary.

I need the income from Uber. You don't need it. Good for you. So can you stop beating this lap dog here continuously with the same old stick ?

Sorry don't understand what you just said. Neither did Google Translate.

Ah ok, after reading it for the tenth time, I get what you are saying.

You can call it kaki bodek, but I would like to think of it as just a bunch of people, doing the same thing, encouraging one another and helping one another.

Many drivers have become my friend through this thread. And we support each other, through good and the bad.

If this is called kaki bodek and hamba Uber, then so be it.

If it's ok with you, can your future replies be in English? Pening my kepala trying to read your BM. And since English is required to be a Uber driver, and if you can't speak decent English, means you are probably not an Uber driver. If that's the case, I don't think you will have any valuable things to contribute inside here.

Your next post will be reported.

How can one not get offended when you read back on your earlier comments, just because you stopped driving d, you went around making comments that IMPLIED that whoever still drives for Uber is some sohai who is getting ripped off by Uber, etc.

Show some empathy, not everyone has enough on their plate every month. If people can go out and make that little extra, it's his choice. You don't need Uber now, that's good.

Don't make it sound like a FACT that Uber is like purposely trying to rip you off and that if you don't game the system, can't make money. I can show you a tonne of statements showing otherwise, but then other people will say I am doing it for recruitment.

Well I can tell you I follow everything that Uber says, 100% AR, 0 cancellation and I have been doing that for the past 1.5 year, unless it's a once in a blue moon situation. Almost everyone here knows my Uber income, so can you say it's the wrong way?

Fyi, cancellation rate there's a threshold. Whether they suspend your account or not it's another matter. Last time if your cancellation rate goes above x% and AR falls below X%, you won't get your incentives.

You know how many complaints I hear on a daily basis from riders saying why nowadays all the driver call me ask where am I going, why all cancel on me, etc ? This gives the industry a bad name, and effectively it affects other drivers when the riders decide to give up on Uber, since it's becoming like a taxi already.

My approach on Uber is very simple. If I am online, I will take every ride. Where rider brings me, I will go. Good trips, bad trips, it will average out. The rider is my priority. Anything I am not happy with Uber i will feedback to them. I shouldn't penalize the rider just cause I am not happy with Uber, it's not their fault.

That's like you go to a restaurant, order a dish, the chef simply cook for you (or refuses to cook for you), cause he said his boss hasn't paid his salary, or his boss took away his handphone allowance. How would you feel as the customer?

If the restaurant states the closing hour is 10pm, 9:55pm you walk in order a Chinese tea ice also they should layan you. Not ask you first what you going order before they decide whether to let you in. Isn't this what the service industry is about?

We may be lap dogs to make a living, but at least should have some professional pride.

Let's call a spade a spade.

Calling rider to ask for destination IS gaming.

Don't believe me?

Try and adopt this approach and hit the morning quest. Call and ask first before you pick up and only go if it's a short trip so you can finish the X amount of trips within that 3 hours.

See if they will pay you the incentive or if they will suspend you?

If they want you to know that destination, Uber would have integrated that into the system. If you want to know destination before picking, just do Grab la. You can't have the best of both world and expect the world to revolve around you.

Exactly. Who are we to determine whether something is worth it or not for another person and then go generalise it as being fool or SLAVE as I always see here.

If I have a tank of petrol, and my TnG has money inside, but I have no money for lunch and dinner. You offer me RM30 to send you to airport also I will do.

Value is different to each individual according to needs, to go around calling other people slave and all is just plain condescending.

And for all of you who likes to dissect the cost of Ubering until it's like worst than MBPJ sweeping floor, dissect this and let me know.

My monthly gross income from Uber is on the average 8500. Take this as a fact, I have shown enough statements here to not having to post it again.

My petrol cost is 20%. Purely for Uber.

My car installment is 470. I purposely bought an Axia for Uber.

I service car once a month. RM250.

I give you the pleasure of dissecting it till it means something. Shoot.

What else?

On average about 70-75 online hours per week. I disclaim again first, nobody said it's easy job ya.

Inclusive of the quest. The week day 54 and weekend 39 almost 100% hit. The daily ones not always, especially the 3 hours one, never hit before.

Per hour online RM20 is fair. RM25 is good. RM30 is very good.

You guys should really stop cutting down on all this conspiracy theories.

I don't have such problems. One Plus One.

Bad place to start. Try driving towards Selayang there

Doesn't makes sense to be doing only XL. Demand not high.

You can't anyway

Wrong thread

Whole kampung also there where to get ping.

My advice to you is don't chase high boost.

Not apps gone wrong.

Your rider was being an asshole and double book Grab and Uber.

All the quest is calculated according to the time the Ping comes into your phone.

Enlighten me please then. I have even double checked with Uber.
