Experience from last week's Uber service
Received a rider's call while I was on the road back to KL. Upon acceptance I realised that the rider was as far as 8km. Due to obligation I picked up the rider from UM faculty and dropped him off at his on-campus residential block which was less than 1.3km. The fare was RM 3.18 and uber fees rm.0.80. The rider paid in cash and walked away smiling, probably thinking it was the cheapest taxi ride ever.
What I understood is that the area of coverage should not be beyond 3.5km radius from your location,isn't it? Lately I often get calls as far as 9km.
On a second incident, I picked up a rider who was going from Jln Changat Bukit Bintang to Marc Residence Jln Pinang. The fare showed on the app was RM 1.65 when I pressed collect cash. The rider paid cash RM2 and asked me to keep the change. However when I checked the app this morning it was a different fare RM5 and Uber fees RM 1.25.
I feel this is really an insult and thinking of giving up all together.
I also took one trip, it was about 12km journey, i've went to Uber PSC today, unfortunately, i was the only nearest driver, and we have to commit.

he did remind me if my iphone had the wifi turned on as there's an accuracy thingy that runs in the background, it helps if it is turned on, if its off, it will be normal to obtain rider above 8KM
