Been lurking here for awhile and reading the discussion, so here is my share;

First, here is some background so you guys would understand my situation. I'm a final year student that currently undergoing an Industrial Training which offered me 0 allowance. Due to the lack of public transportation offered from my house to the workplace I chose to bought a car and become an Uber driver on any free time that I had.

I've been driving for Uber for the past month as soon as I got the car and here what I found.

1. I'm more comfortable at the time UBER still using cashless-base services. Since I'm able to experience both cashless and cash period, cashless are way convenient.

2. Pick up location are way too far from my location. I experience where I had to pick up rider from 10-15 Km away with a trip that only cost RM 3-4.

3. I'm not sure what it is but there are Background Check under Promotion Details for the past week which deduct my earning by RM5 / week. I'm not sure what it's for but it wasn't there on the first week.

4. Here is my thought: I'm glad there are services like this that allow part-timers to receive side-income like this. But as the rate are going lower from time to time, on bad day, its only cost me more than I can earn.

I driving less and less currently as I found out selling drinks at Pasar Tani for 3-4 hours on the weekend could cover 2-3 days of my UBER earning on the weekdays.
