If you're at bukit pantai, depending where you are, you can get pinged to UM 10-12th college also, as it is right next it as the bird fly...however need to drive up to 4km (kerinchi link) to reach also....

Pickup distance 7km le....
I noticed this week also the average pickup distance now more far...mostly >1km, last time always very near. Yesterday during MP a few jobs pickup was 4km, ignored, one accepted because didn't know so far beforehand, text the rider inform too far, lucky he was OK to cancel.

Now riders also know drivers hard to get during peak hour, some appreciate also. Two of them tip me $3 for for a $7 job .
A few others also thanked me/say "sorry you had to endure the jam" after I drop them off.

Ofc got the usual idiot riders also screwing with people during MP hours....one of them pickup Royale Chulan near KLCC, drop off SOGO (fare $6)...called to say nearby, he said OK wait for you...reached there...no show...called again he said "Oh..I book Royale Chulan CURVE in Damansara!!"....

Fvker...use your common sense la...Damansara to KL only $6???? lucky he cancelled quickly.
Another woman, also KL city center, lucky I called her first before going, she claimed she didn't book at all. Lucky she cancelled quickly too.

Anyone got the notification about "Grabshare matches now improved bla bla bla"?

I took one GS job yesterday, $7, straight away got matched with $13 job...that one cancelled....immediately got matched with another rider also $13. Took almost one hour from first ping to drop off second rider to complete job...

this happened to me also last Monday morning during the MP...$13 job but don't want to take toll... ended up missed an entire hour block because of her... she sat in front snoring all the way... then wake up keep asking can reach before 9am or not, still jam ahhh..bla bla...
most will give a small tip if so jam but she didn't even bother.

yeah that one is near Bangsar shopping centre...siow... with Friday evening traffic at least 25 mins... hoped your Rider cancelled?

Bangsar/pantai area too little drivers yesterday... sent Rider to Kerinchi LRT.. going to camp there.. cannot also.. straight get 3 pings all to bangsar South/vertical area.

Depends on enough driver or not....also your luck...yesterday 12pm something I was dropping of at pavillion...immediately another ping there. but if unlucky can be pinged to go Times Sq also...

I suspect some drivers using modded app, bao all the short trips/near pickup....I see these people openly advertising on Facebook group...wonder why no one report/forward to Grab? Should I bother to screenshot these ads and report? who to report also (Im not confident with support@grab.com.my).

teksi driver always lansi to Bangla.. think they are pati and Won't dare to complain.. hence always won't use meter and potong them.

these modded apps work by switching your jobs with those using the modded apps... hence you can be already accepted ping.. suddenly your app show job different ping...kena sabo
hence the drivers SHOULD be banned... they are affecting honest drivers. imagine if daily refresh ur AR go down at 11 pm because of this.... sure vomit blood.

what happened? 🚕🚧

also don't forget sure will get at least one GS request one... the ones that will ask you take <$1/km but to super jam place.

Not just been honest, is for your own good as well if you are an honest driver who dont use modded app. The modded app drivers are sabo the rest of us.

This is my experience with savvy commuters who put USEFUL notes:

Savvy riders (commuters who take Grab all the time) put detailed note eg :
"They are two entrance, use the back entrance not the front entrance for the condo, if you coming from XX shopping mall direction turn left after you see CIMB bank on your left at the traffic light etc"...
Your note is not useful since it is just referencing another building name which the driver would not be familiar with. Imagine yourself as the driver la ... how you would like to the rider to give you directions?

Probably your biggest mistake was booking for third party when YOU yourself not familiar with the area... Flats are tricky...in Grab also sometimes got a few names for the same place. Especially in KV area... you are in Penang right? not sure how the grab app is like there. Like above poster said, best is key in a local shop/landmark, which would be impossible for you since you don't know the place.

PS: no matter how good your note is...dont count on drivers understanding or following it. The rider who put such a detailed note told me that most of the time the drivers still sesat as they don't bother to read the note/tak faham. Thats why better to call if you think driver is sesat already.

Come on, most have trouble already keying correct location....even if they did, would most drivers know how to follow location from coordinates? how to key in coordinates on Waze? I bet most riders and drivers wouldnt know.

I tried keying in Flat Samudera...ends up in a bus stop next to highway...

Key in "FLAT TAMAN SAMUDRA"....out comes up a list of the block number with correct location.
So I guess driver has a right to be angry that you keyed in wrong location. live and learn.

Grab rider app is very fussy...if in PJ there are alot of address with SS, eg SS20/24...you MUST have a SPACE between the SS and the number, or the address will not be found in the app..so SS 20/24. Found this out after an uncle complained he couldnt key in the address...

Crazy place, terrible road access for non local driver...no wonder she lost. If coming from MRR2 going towards Batu Caves direction, not sure how to turn our from MRR2...I just draw the red arrow but seems like you have to cross a solid line to make a sharp 90 degree left turn??? Else maybe exit further away, exit at Jalan Taman Samudra.

If coming from MRR2 going towards UIA direction.....I guess the blue arrow is the correct way to u-turn???? Now I want to go see see investigate...

Another place like this is the Cheras business center (Jln Cheras intersection with MRR2)....crazy area wrong or miss turn can end up 4km u-turn with jam....

I just made this mistake last night, want to go to Tesco, correct direction is the blue arrow....hard to see at night....very easy to take a left turn TOO left that will exit to Mrr2....(the red arrow)...then have to make one big round thru Taman Connaught to come back to Jln Cheras (6km according to Google maps)....told the rider I accidentally entered MRR2....she understand and cancelled.

Another tricky intersection....few times see cars almost get accident....if coming from Jln Dang Wangi (Sogo) direction is relatively OK, can still follow sign....most problem is when those coming from Sogo in the left lane have to cut all the way to the right to enter Jln Kuching (Utara) if want to go Kepong/MontKiara. Those busses dont care, you will have to watch out for them.

Problem is coming from Jln Raja Laut direction (White Arrow)...if you not sure which exit is which direction (should I take the first left or the second left to go south/north)???? First timers/non locals sure confused as hell if just following Waze. Especially at night, heavy traffic.

Notice that there is no sign at the ENTRANCE itself (HAD KETINGGIAN sign) to indicate which direction the entrance is for....

Ah boy how, you still going to do Grab? Dont go without saying bye!

Thankyou, will note.

HAhahaha...that place is my port...I know almost all the buildings and which road exit to take liao...first ten times....confirm sesat....even after 3 months still got learnt a few tricks. Tip: if you get ALOFT hotel...make sure the waze pointing to correct place...pickup is just before the NU sentral SUshiTei/Starbucks entrance. DONT go down to Jln Tun Sambanthan...

PS: I think we should post more pic/maps/tips about tricky intersections/shortcuts especially thru KL city center....useful for thread info
