1. There is a big difference, your estimated time is set during the booking and does not takes into account the current traffic condition
(when driver accept the ping, they might be on the move/stationary)
Lots of time ping accepted while driving, and pass thru the turning point and need to make u-turn
Even if stationary, the pickup point might be 500m away, but across the road and will take forever to reach
SO... during these condition driver open up waze/google maps, and it show 15+ minutes to reach...
OR.....DropOFF is MidValley/another super jam area (and i know it will take like 30+ to 1H to get it done, not to mention the return trip is also PITA)
AND!!!!!! the fare is RM10+-RM20+
Decision! Decision! Decision...... an hour of effort for RM10+-RM20+ (not yet minus 20% Grab commission + petrol ) + stuck for another xxMinutes to get out
No brainer for me
2. 3. Please note. If you want better service, please book UberBlack or GrabPremium
i do not know all the pickup location in MidValley, but then again, i'm not trained like a London Black Cab driver, and the fare charged reflects on my poor skills
If Uber or Grab does not suits you, there is always the Taxi, or you can drive, or employ your own personal driver
Happy journeys
