Very subjective....I would say no

If can earn like that, many would resign driving full time jor

Usually those 5km radius from college or LRT station 80% short trip

Bro, the rating doesn't count, rider won't be suspended, unless serious violation. It's up to driver whether to pick up even 1 star rider. Plus, even if they get suspended, they can just register a new account.

Secondly, please do not generalised or stereotype by race, we all have fair share of nasty riders, sometimes when u think certain race or social status of riders have problems, actually it's not true, it all due to the upbringing of them, you no need to stop so low at their level to get even with them. Take it as part of parcel of work hazard, move on. If can't take the heat, then, don't drive lor. Every profession you bound to meet some asshole one, I can assure u.

Don't drive.....

Seriously, you really got to try it yourself and decide, different area, different time, different results.....even same area, same time, different day also will have different results

Are you trying to recruit drivers here?

Although it is not wrong (depending on how TS view it), but do note that how do you know all the Uber drivers here can meet the requirement



WIfi On Board - seriously?

Vehicle Customisation Programme.

Vehicles have passed Puspakom safety inspection. - at the moment, there is no requirement yet, rumours yes, but, not yet finalised

Repair & Maintenance by qualified & authorized professionals. - how sure you think everyone maintaince their car with authorised service centre

No lah, it just that if you want to drive, don't expect anything, don't set any minimum income per hour, etc......coz sometime you gain, and sometime you lose. You need to drive long enought to determine whether it is worth your time or not

That's why I said, by all mean, try it yourself, asking here is pointless.....

Plus, driving full time? I rather better not, unless you drive without any aim or target again, if you have commitment to met, expenses to be paid, it going to be extremely stressful on bad days

So easy to join meh? No need to meet all requirement stated in the website? So, what the website stated is cheating?

You decide lor, when after you minus off your petrol and car maintenance. You ask 10 people, you got 10 different answer

You cannot set target one lah, on good day, even RM400 is no issue, on bad day, even to reach RM100 also problem.

I thought long weekend usually the demand higher, coz many drivers also out of town?

Why you drive all the way up to Genting? Got ride request to Genting?

Wait at hotel at odd, grave hours....and that can't guaranteed airport trip....fool proof airport trip, to become airport taxi driver

You dream on lah they will review, that is their scripted answer also lah, fyi, the final script answer, then, if you continue to write some more, back to script answer #1, then #2 and repeat. Only don't know how many x time cycle, only they will pay u, and the script answer will be they will pay u as matters of goodwill

I like your positivity thoughts....keep it up, you need plenty of it, especially driving Uber, you never know when you will face some uncivilised riders......

May I ask you a question, how long had you been driving Uber?

Can't say I am experienced Uber driver, I start driving in 2016, stop late last year...sad to say, been writing countless to them, giving suggestion, but, end of day, no changes at all....which I would say, many would agree with me, Uber only have their own fee interest and passenger interest, none for their so called partner.

So, if you expecting Uber to take your suggestion, I would say, unless it benefits them, or passengers....don't expect it. This also one of reason why I stop driving altogether, as I feel it does not make any economical sense to even drive for part time

All account deactivation is scam lah, use to threaten you only........

Last time my acceptance rate only 20%, cancellation I think 50% , ok jer.....got deactivated because i didn't update my new insurance. Upload, then, they ask me to go office, i suspect mau lecture me lah, for my poor acceptance rate and high cancellation rate, I don't want go....

If I go, sure gaduh one, coz they sure lecture me must accept all trip, regardless even u got to drive 15km just to pick up the passenger, while u don't know the trip journey might be only 1km....some more, they already introduce fixed fare jor....lagi no reason to drive

Aiyo, sometimes I wonder what the riders want one? For me, I just need a cheap and safe ride from point A to point B. So, does not matters lah whether the driver greet me or not, wear shorts or slippers or even singlet, or driving Viva......so, 99.99% the driver will get 5* rating from me, unless he drive dangerously.

Anyway, seriously, why so worked out on rating? It does not mean anything either, it doesnt give u better incentives, etc...in fact, in my previous driving experience, got few times I got sms from Uber, claim that I was the top 1% rated drivers for the week....so what? Of course, I cheekly write to them, do I get any special incentives, any special award? Terus silent, no reply.....

Further ask, then, standard auto reply, thank you for maintaining high level of customer service, your effort is highly appreciated...

Well said, if want premium ride, request for Uber Black or even private driver lah, want cheap, want premium. Modern day slavery ah? Simple rule of thumb, respect your riders just like how you want riders to respect you. Same goes to riders, respect goes 2 way.

Up what? Grab cocky against riders or drivers? If drivers, they lost is Uber gain....ultimately, both company care is the riders, not drivers...you all, drivers are dispensable

Lel, kenot lah bro.....zerorised fare, who going to pay for your petrol, your car maintenance and Grab fee? u really drive for charity meh? Might as well you donated out your earning to more deserving charity organisation

Anyway, thanks in advance first.

btw, now, I worry many riders see Grab driver driving honda city, wear shorts, wear slipper, then, claim it is me, and ask for free fare

What you highlighted is the change they going to implement or you want to suggest to Uber?

Don't forget ask them to remove the fixed fare pricing, or at least match with Grab, where driver can see destination before accepting ride....no point driving far for short distance ride (unless driver willingly accept to chase for incentives)

And, remove the stupid dynamic matching, where they keep changing the riders-drivers matching so called better, closer rider location. Personally, not experienced this, coz already stop driving before they implement this stupid policy, but, I experienced rider request from Imbi Plaza, and I am at Berjaya Times Square, apps show I arrived, and I need to make a big detour at Jalan Maharajalela to u-turn back which took 20 minutes to pick them up. Another case, another request say 1 min away, where I am on above flyover, while the rider is at shoplot under it, need to make 8km, 15 min detour. End up, I just cancelled it

Ask those fella sit in Uber office, experience drive Uber for 2 months lah to understand driver prediment, don't just sit on office, playing with apps and just get riders view.

I think all these min trip is to encourage to convert part time to full time....driving part time maybe hard to reach all these numbers?

I suspected nowadays more part time drivers than full time, and these part time drivers usually drive after office hours, weekends...where lack of drivers during day time, week day....

BTW, all these special incentives only for weekend or whole week? Dunno, just my opinion.....long time no drive

OIC......mean what I guess is correct lor, Uber want to convert those part-timers to full time, therefore, come out with all these quest.....therefore, give all these min trip requirement which almost impossible to achieve if driving part-time...

But, if you said driving part time also not profitable, why continue driving? Can break-even or not? After all, no point continue driving if not making any money, unless you tell me u like to drive for charity lah

Anyway, good luck to you bro, continue access your return while driving Uber, and take care of your health, the longer you on the road, the more fatigue you get, and the higher risk accident....

Drive for fun ok, without thinking too much of profit, but, if driving with intention to earn a living, better don't, you get stressed up when if the income does not match your expense or expectation, and you may tend to be irrational, putting more hours on the road, higher fatigue, more bad mood, higher risk of accident.

I think if you want to hit incentive on the weekend, looking at the time, possible lah, mean u drive from daytime Friday (mean you take Friday off, if you working full time), then, at night go camp at those clubbing area like Changkat Bukit Bintang, Trex, Hartamas, etc. Then continue on Saturday day time (suspect will be more drivers online this period), then, you continue at Saturday night (those area I just mentioned, demand is always there), then, finally, top up during Sunday (which I foresee again more drivers online), and you continue till late night, concentrate on KL Sentral or TBS, where many outstation ppl come back from kampung.

But, then, the risk not only you need to be long hours (fatigue), picking up riders at those clubbing area, 90% of the fella is half drunk or drunk, and risk of them puke in your car (then, you got to stop driving for the night). And, dealing with drunk riders, it ain't a good experience either, neither Uber will care anything about you.

Well, there is no easy lunch or easy money driving Uber.....guess u realised it already. But, once a while, always got some disillusional newbies thought driving Uber is all glamour and easy money....no thanks to many ppl who try to recruit them for referral fees......

It is more like MLM concept, JJPTR
