Wondering do this promo code work in australia? or just only for malaysia? Thank you so much for whoever reply my message! =)

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?

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.

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

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

I've been using Grab sporadically since it was called MyTeksi and more recently Uber. I've never been able to get a promo code that was not fully redeemed. But I don't complain pun. That's because I really need to go where I need to go. My destinations are usually high fare, so a discount of RM3 or RM5 doesn't mean much to me.

It seems that in their war with each other for market share, Grab and Uber has been giving out so many discounts that it has created a kaki tempang culture in people. Too lazy to walk or use bicycle, use promo code get free rides. It has also created a lot of baby birds who always want to be fed discount codes.

I never understood anyway why Grab and Uber give free rides to kaki tempang people. These people will never use the service anyway if there's no promo code. As can be seen in this thread, when there's no discount, banyak complain. These are for profit businesses. They cannot give discounts all the time forever.

But now as a driver, I don't mind if Grab wants to give discounts to help me hit my incentives target. But I've also noticed in the past week, very few of my riders used promo codes, but I'm still able to get a lot of incentives. So there's still organic demand in the market.

And when people say RMXX for Grab and Uber is expensive, what are you comparing it to?

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.

When there are more riders than drivers, the rate goes up to attract drivers to you, so that you can get a ride.

If you don't want to accept, other people accept, they get to go where they want to go.

If you don't want accept, you can go ask taxi whether they want to use meter or not?

What is fair price to you, when you already said e-hailing is cheaper than taxi?

ok ok... so then why didn't you try to get the coupon taxi or hail a taxi that night??🤦
you have basically danced around all the very fair questions asking you if you could have got a taxi or not that night. it's not as if there's lesser taxis now with Grab. and even if you could have gotten a taxi.. very curious to know what are the chances they will follow the meter.

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.
