look at the bright side what if 2nd and 3rd trip is rm15 and above, not worth the stress going through the jam  bangwall.gif

Ive noticed that during weekends and rainy weather, Bangsar is the place to be. Eg Short trips ard BSC, Bangsar Village 1 and 2 etc. also based on experience, wanna share that KLIA is really lousy. Hehe. But if u really need to take the rider and no return passenger, use the LCCT road and pick guys around Cyberjaya.

i always drive on weekends which is HP block....most of the time at least 2 rides a block or worse 4  sweat.gif

Agreed. HP block IMO is our bread and butter. UP and MP are great but most slots are really bad traffic times.

Wondering if any1 noticed that waze seems broken lately? Seems toll operators are paying them (waze) to use tolls all the time (im referring to u DUKE).

Appreciate if any1 can share their exp with waze lately.

Guys, I am interested to be Grab driver.

Planning to get a used car, any good recommendation?
2011 Ford Fiesta/Peugeot 308/Kia Forte suitable for Grab? Worrying will have lots of reliability issues.

Or I should try Grab Rent and Drive?
*
My 2 cents is the following:

1) get 2014 or newer, gc unlike uber, allow cars up to 6 years frm production date (uber 8)

2) get a car with low petrol (prefably 1.5l and below - heard City 2014 is the petrol champion (or mirage).

3) grab rent is ok but some require full-time commitment

4) better still, if family member has xtra car around, rent from them instead.

5) avoid high maintenance cars, eg peugeot, ford, alfa etc

6) if u must consider a good car + not too bad petrol and also that looks good, mazda 2 sedan should suffice imho (skyactiv)

this amendment act only affect uber/grab company itself, not individual driver?

driver no need register with SPAD, no license fees, no puspakom, all that?
*
No free meals unfortunately (esp true for us Malaysians). Gov table bill to 'protect' drivers, they would ask for protection money (socso, tax, reg psv etc).

More concerned if one is already on a quite high tax bracket (eg 21%) would fares/incentives from gc or uber will just make the tax bracket worse.

Furthermore, if we are to deem gc/uber as part of a own business by the individual, how do we factor in operational costs and only declare nett income (eg less petrol, cost of maintenance, toll when no rider etc).

Despite that, as another said earlier, at this junction, nothing is concrete, so grab on guys!! Hhehe

Should be I suppose, AR Pro vs Ambassador is 88% vs 85%. Same CR of a 10%, BA of 50% and 4.4 rating though.

I think there is a trend of driver star rating dropping recently.  That's y they come out with this new rules. Speaking of mine star rating used to be 5.00 with 700++ ppl rated me. Now only 4.86 with 1100++ ppl rated.

Hi guy, pls share how to see how many ratings we get? Thanks.

I used to have this msg when using waze. Now I am using google map & its so far so good. Location is more accurate now

Probably due to problem with battery saver thingy. Faced same problem with my redmi note 4.

Went to settings and make exceptions on grab app and waze (no restrictions), now ok edi.

Hope this helps.

You can login with Google email. New login feature. No longer need to change IMEI.

Tried that recently. App will prompt phone not registered. I was switching between 2 phones and 2 numbers (ios and android) coz face problem with grab app not connected when idle/in background ie. When using waze. Hence the available for jobs button auto off when using waze and there will be a delay when dropping off passengers coz grab app only reconnecting when i switch app from waz.


FYI, as per my earlier post, got problem fixed with battery saver off for grab app and waze.

Maybe method will work if switching between same platform eg android to android. Nit too sure tho.

238 fellow rate me. Now at 4.77

I have just checked. Same as u, 238 rated me. Rating yoyo all the time. Currently at 4.91.

Seriously, grabshare is a rating killer.

Most gs passengers only want cheaper fare but gets unhappy when need to share the ride.

Sigh. Keep on educating but still no improvement it seems.

Funny how grab insist on grabshare by giving promon on gs rides yet increase rating requirement for incentive eligibility.

I've only driven slightly less than 2 mths but thinking hard to whether continue. No motivation.

Today, got 1 lady book to Twins Damansara. When i arrived​ she said no, the car she is waiting for in a city not myvi. She showed a glimpse of her phone and it appears to be uber app.

Which means, she booked both uber and grab and just decided to go with uber. Asked to cancel but ignore message and phone calls. Sigh. Reported to cs on the rider.

As usual. Dont think cs would do anything though.

Also. Beware of marketing trick around Bangsar. They book a ride then phone you and ask if u r interested in earning cash by switching telco or something like that.

When u tell them not interested and ask politely to cancel the booking, they just drop the call and ignore subsequent calls and finally block ur phone number.

Damn sien.

As usual, i reported to grab cs but this time they admitted they received several complaints on the same rider and they took action by banning the number/rider.
