GPS often puts you at the wrong side of the road and rarely very accurate

Normally immediately after booking I'll SMS the driver with exact pickup point, to make sure there's no confusion - no issues so far.

the GPS location really cannot pakai one always wrong, made my driver pusing-pusing to holland, he also stupid cos didn't confirm my location first.

Met one lalabeng grab driver never call to confirm my exact waiting location before he comes. I saw him in GPS go round and round, he couldn't find me, then only he call me, scold me why I wait at another place.

Why dont u giv the right location? At least write it in the description. It is not convenient for driver to call while driving.

Is it just me or the number of rude and disrespectful uber and grab drivers have risen lately?

Last year there were hardly any incidents of rude drivers (I had in total 2 rude drivers in the year 2015). This year though I have already encountered 12 rude grab and uber drivers.

One particular incident really  annoyed me when an uber driver asked me rudely the shortest route to my destination. In his own words he said with a raised voice 'Eh eh eh you tell me the shortest route to your destination and make sure it is the shortest route ar. The sooner I am done with you the better'.
A Grabcar driver nearly got into a fight with a friend of mine  recently because he didn't like the place of pickup that my friend was waiting at.
Are they becoming as bad as the taxi drivers now or am I just unlucky?

I insert my location according to my gps, but the gps locator is not really accurate of my exact location. Most driver will call before coming, but this driver never call me.

then, why can't you keyed-in the address instead of using pin? Or, proactive, tried to call the driver instead of waiting driver to call you? biggrin.gif

Anyway, not looking for a fight....what I want to say, it take 2 hand to clap, both party at fault sweat.gif

The Uber driver tutorial video said only to call once you have reached the pickup point and passenger is nowhere to be seen.

The experienced riders will normally SMS their location.

No quality control, should go wannabe drivers should go through attitude screening interview/tests and many more, but in the future uber don't need drivers anymore as they will implement their self driven cars/taxi.

Now let me as an Uber driver to give my thought about being a so-call Uber Driver can earn rm8000 per month thingy.You think only the passengers got problem?I,myself need to face countless of rude riders and they think with those cheap amount of money they pay they have the privilege to do anything they want?Got one case I remembered an old aunty shouting at me complaining on phone that she cant see me at her location while in fact I was around 3-4 meters in front of her.That she wanted me to exactly be in front of her.I was taking her at KTM and it was super hectic so how come I can go park in front of her?Got another case an amoy even made face to me when I dont have enough rm1 and needed to give her 50 cents coins worth rm1 sleep.gif.Why she thought she so rich ar can do face like that and didnt want to accept my coins?Well go any other stories but tired to tell.

walk to guard house need about 10 mins.  other grab drivers just tell guard fetch ppl they let in. i think he dun wan waste petrol. cuz later i called another grab and he came infront my house i ask him if the guard ask u driving license he said no he just tell guard fetch people at jalan ____

I think the time the driver spent arguing with the guard cost him more petrol than actually driving up to your house.
