Hey guys, i found that the zerofare promo still available until evening over the weekend. Suspect due to uber 99 cent promo so client book more trip with uber as well.
Just now I got my first ever GrabShare MATCHED trip. 2 Bangladesh on board from KL going towards Taipan. Then when reaching mid valley got a ping and I was shock and panic for a while.
The bangla also blur2 and that's when I found out he know nothing about GrabShare(I actually did double confirm with him when he first open the door).
I remain calm, explained to bangla and accepted the ping. Then quickly take the exit ramp to mid valley.
2nd passenger text me she is waiting at the garden and I found out her name should be a Chinese girl. So I called her and she told me she is alone.(I start imagine she sitting next to a stranger bangla). Then I inform her got 2 passanger already in my car. (I actually wanted to tell her they r bangla so she will cancel the trip, but I dunno how to say it when the bangla is just besides me). At the end she say she will cancel because the route is not that convenient.
That is 1 of the most stressful 3 minutes I have while driving grab!!! Imagine doing all this at the same time!!! Explained to bangla, quickly take exit to mid valley, analyse the situation, call 2nd passanger. I mean wtf, we shouldn't be multitasking while driving!!! This will surely lead to accident and it defeated Grab company motto which emphasise driver are to send passenger SAFELY from point A to B.
I personally think Grab is overdoing it with GrabShare. I think a lot of the driver know how stressful it is to handle this new GS thing.
Don't forget that we are currently just gathering data for Grab to improve its service. In the future, self-driving cars will do the job flawlessly.
In another words, they don't care how stressful it is for you at the moment.
