KLIA not sure, cannot remember, I think now they put those toll gate jor, so, not so easy salah jalan. But Subang airport got. Kena before. The inner most lane, for taxi and VIP only.

True, I got experience rider request the ride while in toilet, and the condo is on hillside, so, the location bring me to secondary jungle, entrance for jungle tracking (Ahpek hill)

This is the summary why they losing money, extracted from the article

Uber was using these massive subsidies to undercut the fares and provide more capacity than the competitors who had to cover 100 percent of their costs out of passenger fares.

Which drivers also subsidized the fare for them, on top of usual running cost

Uber's passenger-based model, which is theoretically built to avoid overhead and reward drivers directly, actually pays for very little of the cost of each ride

You see, their business model is rather simple, build an apps with the investors fund, replicate in all market and use 20% commission cut the to for marketing. But, what they did is they try to squeeze the drivers to the max in Malaysia, high Uber fees, ask drivers to share and subsidize them with low fare, while they continue take cut 20% (and now increase to 25%), pissing off lots of drivers, many switch to Grab, yes, you have the riders, but, no drivers, as more goes to Grab, end of day, you can have demand, but, no capacity, sooner or later, end of road for them

Your petrol, car maintainance who pay?

Lel...hardcore Grab supporter nie how's Grab rider ah? All good one ah? Anyway, I do agree, there are bound to be some assholes riders and some pleasant nice riders....just like human being

what to do, their mantra is "customer is king" while your mantra is "cash is king"....so, mismatch lor....the rider think their cash is very big, while u think otherwise....what I usually do, after they left the car, I will silently pray and hope they kena rob or langgar by mat rempit or they walk walk and pok kai, not died type, but, suffer lah

Lel....why so anti Uber riders?

How you know you had been "disconnect" from that rider in future? Uber also said this, but, chances of you getting the same rider again is quite low, unless you always in that area, and so co-incidence you are the nearest driver at that time. What is the probability of it will happen? Actually, Uber just say it to pacify you only lah, in Malay word, it called "syiok sendiri" only

You can try if my statement correct or not, you ask your friend or whoever request Uber, then, you complain like hell to Uber, till they say disconnect you from this rider. Then, you two stand side by side, ask your friend to request Uber, see if it will goes to you or not?

As if rating 1 star will make any difference. Tell you truth lah, Uber won't suspend riders one leh, unless the rider don't pay, owe Uber money....it another syiok sendiri function by Uber

Welcome to the club

nothing is guarantee in this world, except death and tax

Stop driving like you too

When you book for taxi, how reliable it it? Can the taxi confirm 100% arrived?

I am giving you legit answer to your legit question in legit thread.

As you said, uber driving is depending on individuals availability, so, how can anyone can confirm whether there is Uber availability for you? Unless the person is God?

You are most welcome

Others riders experience =/= your experience

Got, after few round of email to test your patience and some flowerly, expletive language, and must be supported with at least 2 photo, one must be closed up of the puke, another one must be overall affected area to show the impact and last but not least, a cleaning receipt. And, all these must be furnished by 48 hours. Plus, whatever lost time because you can't drive (anyone want to sit in smell car, even self also kenot tahan) is not covered.

Stop driving altogether jor ....r u the person who can register for iPhone user to drive Grab without need to go to their office? Wanna register, but no time. Plus, dunno when I want start driving again, maybe just for fun, part time

Answer to your question
1. No, unless it too large to be carry by normal car, what you just mentioned, it just typical grocery and shopping stuff (unless u lie )...if you moving like table, chair, cupboard, etc, then, I would say no no
2. No, you are not. But, don't blame the driver if he take longer route, coz maybe he don't know either, rely on GPS
3. Yes and no. If I need to drive say 10km to reach you for your 1 km ride, it is no no. If I am within 1km and the ride also 1km, I don't mind. So, when you request, have some courtesy, if nearby, and you notice the driver is far, give him a call, explain to him to tell him your ride is near, let him decide to accept or not. If he said no, then, cancel for him. The poor driver would not know your destination until he start the trip.

As I always said, be courteous, respect is mutual, it is earned, not demanded. And, lastly, there bound to be some asshole in this world, be it rider or drivers

Not for Uber anymore....wish I know how to attached my Uber screen here, my cancellation is 22% and 6% acceptance
Still can go online until my insurance died, and I just too lazy to upload new policy

Should I butthurt or take as compliment of your comment? Being positive minded, I take it as compliment...tenkiu

As I mentioned before, I used to drive Uber just to tide myself over during rough patch of my life.....still got to survive right? But, thankfully, the my situation now had improved which allowed me to choose not to drive or drive when I feel like it.

But, with the latest Uber fixed fare structure, I don't see any incentive for me to drive Uber at all, I see no different from Grab, even worst than Grab, which Grab at least can know in advance the rider destination (unlike Uber, you maybe driving for 10km just for 1km ride that you only know when u start the trip). Personally, I don't see any benefit of driving Uber anymore (that's why I stopped all together), last time was told the quality of riders is better than Grab, but, towards the end (before I stop), I noticed the rider quality had dropped tremendously, especially when they start introduce cash payment, which I don't feel secured at all, the rider maybe just perompak in disguise of rider, and Uber does not have any clue or details of them (unlike last time, all non cash transaction, all register card) and need to carry cash around. Lately, I was told, yeah, the demand for Uber is higher than Grab, due to Grab more drivers, but, then, what's the point the demand more, but, end of day, you just barely breakeven or even running at lost?

Driving for Grab? Yes, last time I was told iOS was not supported, then, now someone said supported, then, some said no, and I didn't really go verify. Go to their office, too much hassle. But, I had for GrabHitch, and honestly, the rider demand and matching, was really infinite , example, they match me with all easily 10-60km away from the destination I set. Some rider even more demanding, especially going to KLIA or outstation, like 4 riders, or more, with plenty of car boot for their luggage, and the fare, just ciput less than RM50....seriously, if this is what the Grab riders quality, sorry lah, it not worth my time and do my car justice to do this...highly demanding riders but not willing to pay.....

The only motivation for me to drive, is to meet some new friends, leisure, which I would say the riders used to be nice and courteous, behave just like riding some friends car, with occasionally some asshole rider treat you like cheap taxi sapu with demand of 5 star service, but, now, the trend reversed (no thanks to aggressive marketing by both Uber and Grab, and lack of the ride sharing concept understanding, even for their own staff), you will see more asshole riders and very remote chances with some nice and courteous riders.

2. As I said earlier, it mutual respect, there bound to be some asshole drivers, just like some asshole riders.....for me, I just quickly brushed it off, keep to myself and concentrate to get the riders to the intended destination, and silently hope the fella will fall flat on his face 20 seconds after he step out from my car
3. What I think, as matters of courtesy, instead of you cancelled immediately, then, request again, you should call first to ask. Other than that, I don't see any wrong in you. I would say the problem is with the driver (but, disclaimer, this is your side of story only, so, I just take it as it is ). Second, the driver is either idiot or noobie, even if you use promo code, Uber will still pay him full fare, no lost for him whatsover (since he willing to take the request).

Once again, you did fine, I would even classify you as one of the nice rider to ferry around. In fact, I been students before, I know what it feel living on shoe string budget, and the place I used to hang around, majority of riders are students and on short distance ride too....what pissed me off is that I got request further (no fault of the riders, but, the apps, due to I am the nearest drivers) which either I usually ignore. Or, give me wrong or incomplete pickup location (like the actual pickup location is 50m away from the requested location, but, you got to make 2km detour to there due to one way road), or made me wait long (few minutes is fine, plus depends on location, some location you can't even wait at all)

Yes, but, does the acceptance rate mean anything?

But don't Grab still pay you? Do you mean if I ride Grab, I use promo, the driver is subsidized the rider, not Grab? Must ask our resident Grab driver AskarPerang for explanation.

For Uber, Uber will pay the driver in the weekly payment. Example, if you use RM5 off promo code, rider use cash mode, ride cost RM5 or less, rider pay zero to driver at end of trip, but, Uber will pay driver the fare in following week payment. Driver still no rugi, only maybe time value of money unless u really that broke, got to use the whatever cash collected for your petrol and daily expenses then, I got nothing to say lor

Eh, sudah masuk

Want to ask, does Grab also like Uber, all sort of funny far pickup location request oso goes to you due to the fact u r nearest available driver?

Amacam liddis, if short trip, low fare, but far pick up location? No accept, affect your incentives. Accept, rugi petrol. Happen before?

Got free MRT, why still need Uber and Grab?

got boost or not? Nevermind lah, coz the moment you decide to drive for Uber, mean u want to do charity jor....so chill lah....sambil cuci mata there

u open up rider apps for both Uber and Grab lor, see got campers like KLIA or not then, decide to hang around there or not lor
