Red red everywhere

red + no jam. best day for everyone to drive today!!!

Walao wei.. so tempting to drive.. never ever before Puchong surged more than 2.0X.. now surging till 4.2X.. bloody red almost everywhere

Last year, when they just started implement boost, replacing the PHG

Very high chances all short distance one, rider not stupid. Many will open booth Grab and Uber, see which one lowest fare

4.2x go genting ok ..1 trip can back home oredi

High surge + long distance = Jackpot!!

State your name and location here, then only we will know mah HAHAHA...

Mine 1 no much issue in both platforms.

May be because I did not update to latest version

hi, this morning i got an email stating my email was changed. when i logged into the app, my email and telephone details have been changed to someone based in southern america. However, payment details was still mine?!

As of date, i completely have no access to the uber app. When using my email to sign in, the system notification : The email cannot be recognized by Uber appears.

I contacted Uber and they mentioned due to privacy policy, I need to write in using the email account, i.e.: hacker's account. WTF ?

Anyone got any experience with this?

Good luck

Location: KL.

Strange i missed that.

Tough luck my friend, that was really "jackpot" field day, but only one day.....not sure the programmer sleeping or really bonus....I got one trip, normal fare rm10++ only, due to boast got rm40++ Then, subsequent day, reduce and reduce, till last last 1.2 when I stop driving altogether.

Actually, I prefer boost than PHG, simpler and lesser criteria to meet (no what acceptance rate lah, cancellation rate lah, % of ride start from core area lah, etc), but, if boost anything lower than 2x, not worth it.

And, since boost is paid by Uber, rider won't feel it, so, sometimes still got long distance ride. As for surge, riders need to pay, so, unless they urgent or distance is near, chances are they will wait till surge come down. But now, Uber very cunning, no longer show the surge rate, where rider got to keyed in the rate to agree, it straight away show the surge fare, so, if rider not sure about the actual, non surge rate, kena conned by Uber.

So it was for one day, of which yourself also unsure if it was made in error or lucky day.

Your first statement gave people the impression it was a long term average 3.7-4.5 boost everyday. A little misleading.

Oppss...sorry, definitely not long term...what I can say, in the duration of my drving experience limited 10 months, I notice the income I got get decrease with the same number of hours I put in....i.e. I need to drive longer hours to gain back the same amount of income I got previously when I just started, up to the point that I feel it not worth the time and effort for it, that's why I stop.

My thoughts...

1. It seems that many drivers are happy to cancel a trip if the rider doesn't turn up within 5 minutes, and earn the rm5 cancelation charge.
If drivers abuse these charges, pissed off riders would choose Grab or taxi.

2. Uber's built-in navigation function sucks. Today it 'guided' me into a one-way street, but in the wrong direction!

Used waze.
I only refer to the pick up/ dropped off point in ublur navigation when almost reach there to double confirm. Sometimes waze pick up/ dropped off is correct and ublur wrong. Some ublur is correct and waze wrong. Sometimes both also right or both also wrong.

Airport surge now ..no driver ..

Who ask them to take their own sweet time? Request the ride only when you're ready.

So after driving for weeks and 200 completed trips I've concluded that Uber is not my cup of tea. The earnings lol sometimes can be shit.

Well said, the rider think driver time not important, not valuable, only rider time important and valuable? Respect is earned both way. Padan muka simply request and then got cancelled. In fact, I even write before to Uber said it should be shorten to 2 min, after all, the rider view if any driver nearby before request, have ETA when driver is arriving, so, plenty of time for them to plan (although I got to admit Uber estimate always out one , straight line basis, rather follow route and traffic).

That's why I make it my habit everytime I request for ride, I make sure I am ready at the location only press request. And, I fully understand many Uber driver are part-timers, even full time, they are not professional driver, they just drive Uber to make some extra earning (earning wise, different topic ) , therefore, be respectful and treat others like how you want to be treated.

You sure no campers at airport? Impossible lah
