Naturally If you want to aim for the quest you should only online within the time period. Same goes for boost. Logic no?
Rider app booking and ping received is almost the same time la no? And I can tell you for a fact, it's based on the time when the ping comes in and you accept.
What I am trying to say is, it's not based on your pick up time, or your drop off time.



This happened last Friday while PJ was having a 1.9x boost from 9am - 10am. I am 100% sure the ping came after 9am as I have parked my car and waited till 9am before switching online. I am also 99% sure the rider did not request earlier nor does he has driver cancellation as he told me "You've accepted my request less than a min" as I'm just parked right outside of his Condo.
But this is not the case according to CS. This is not my first experience and I doubt it will be my last.
Their apps is incompetent to show the proper boost/surge from time to time. So it's pretty hard to decide to accept or reject. I have cases the ping shows 1.2x boost but I knew the area is under 1.7x boost. I accepted and I was right, it is 1.7x instead of the 1.2x shown when the ping came in.
TL;DR: no drivers will be so free to make this a big issue if it is not. Why would I accept a trip at 8:54am trip for 1.1x and not 9am trip for 1.9x?
