KHEER RM 4 x 10 trips if I'm not mistaken

Muruku rm4 x 6ride(uber)

Seems like it has been fully redeemed

start from tomolo ma....

oh god my bad sorry sorry

Last night around 10pm a 4 mins ride (1km) cost me RM10 after applying GRABTNG code, with reason of high demand. Grab has became a hungry crocodile lately.

A metered taxi won't cost that much since the fare is regulated (for 1km distance, before 12am).

It is time for relevant authorities come to the ground and work to regulate the private e-hailing service here.

then why didn't u take taxi instead?

Uber and Grab using floating rate. Supply VS Demand.
Yes I agree with you. I waited for an hour before booking a ride today. rate going from 60+ and down to 30+. Normal rate will cost only 20+. but today it seems high demand all the time. I ended up booking at RM38.

Save your breath, for your information SPAD doesn't regulate e-hailing fare or commission. Basically it is demand vs supply mechanism. Everyone else like u also order Grab like u, if it doesn't match sure will goes up to attract driver.

There is 2nd option which is Uber, and also option under "Grab Taxi" isn't it?

It was raining, apparently the metered taxi have been fully booked.

Wow, seems this is a lucrative profiteering business. Sadly the government is turning a blind eye.

exactly. the demand is higher than supply, willing buyer willing seller.
u could wait for the rate to come down, or wait for taxi to become available, but there is no guarantee that taxi would use meter given that saturation.

and remember grab n uber is not charity, they are here to make profit.

This is like asking people to move on to another mamak due to this particular mamak charge RM10 for a cup of plain water.

A friend of mine saying that in fact there are a lot of drivers around a particular area, just that they turn off the service and sit in the car waiting for the artificial floating rate maliciously push up by them because they know how the system work. Some drivers even work for the two companies simultaneously and switching between the services on and off regularly. Not sure whether these are true?

There is a fine line between making profit and profiteering -- make or seek to make an excessive or unfair profit.

If fare too high, either u get a taxi or wait till midnight. The system is as such, make full use of it.

In order to push the fare down:-
1. Place a booking no matter how high is the floating rate.
2. Don't show up until the driver cancel the booking.
3. Now the charging rate for that particular area immediately go down.
4. Book again with much more reasonable price.

It works for Grab (there is no passenger rating to worry about).

If Kayu is expensive, then why u want to patronize them? The system is belong to Grab/Uber, it is just an option provided to consumer.

Do u know if normal fare is ridiculous low and Grab is subsidizing all the low fare? They are slowly implement system to get them profit, remember they are Company and not charity organization.

Please be considerate lah, the way u do is risking your own account to get suspended, and wasting driver time and petrol driving to there.

Take good care of your own account, once u suspended by Grab and it is very very hard to activate back. Don't believe me, try it on your own.

P/S : I recall back at Sunday 10pm, the only high demand area LRT could be nearby Stadium Merdeka, after Tae Yang concert i guess? Or KLCC area LRT? If i am right then why whining here and there?

already can see the fare is RM10 yet you still take it. why are you announcing the world your stupidity?

i do not go to a mamak that charges rm10 for a cup of plain water, i wonder why you do that

Hey cappuccino vs latte did you consider that there is one other option...for 1km...WALK. I used to do that many years ago...wont die one.

DIY option is always the cheapest.,,, if there is mamak charging $10 for plain water....bring your own water or go home make your own teh tarik.
