But actually, local rider use GS more then foreigner

Ya, they dun like GS, but they like the fare.....

Dun thing they will remove anytime soon.... If happen 1st rider fight with 2d rider and went up to media like the punch case, then they or gov may step in to abolish this GS

about 50% of the time I get matched ride, 2nd rider will cancel. asked my GS rider yesterday if he ever got match, he said so far only once matched....
for these cases, I think if a rider cancel a matched ride for any reason he should not be allowed to book GS again for at least two hours.
I think if grab increase the matching rate confirmed GS ride will go down a lot. not sure also what's the benefit for grab to keep GS.. lower commission for them too. maybe because Uber got Uber pool, they also must have same features??

Happy to heard more driver ignore GS.

think on other side, for those youngster just enter to work industry, salary not high, no own transport, everyday grabcar really kill their salary. GS is very good for them.

think on commercial wise, driver cannot be too sentimental. have to take care on their own income.

This type of rider is the typical type of penny wise, pound foolish.

For example,
Grab car fare RM10
Grabshare fare RM7

Apply promo code RM6 so Grabshare pay RM1, but u need to incurred more time if match, with normal grabcar RM10 split it up to 4 person also RM1 each. doh.gif

Nasi Lemak or Mee Goreng which one is better? Again no one can answer except u

Based on your experience driving around, select the type suitable for u, nobody can help u decide, the rating 4.85 seem decent, below 4.8 only start worry about it.

GS is just a strategy product.

although GS acceptance rate is drop...

i think they maintain GS is to extend their market exposure. in long run, will get benefit to company (IT company treat # of user as "potential revenue pool". especially, if they want to get fund from investor.)

true, I notice now peak hour surcharge demand really kick in since about two three weeks ago. however the effect is that for those cheap skate riders, even with grab share ride discount reduced to 20% (from before 30%) recently, they still die die take. some more some will add promo code.

btw if there wasn't grab, your friend wouldn't have been able to get a meter taxi to shah Alam from CBD area during peak hour, even if can get also will get hentam much worse. probably rm100 also.

I kena one just now. GS>promo>rm3 ride...

when I started Grab I just scanned thru the drive manual, yet the first time got ping also kelam kabut accident press pickup button ๐Ÿ˜‚ then also don't know how to press button for direction to pax...... end up calling him for directions.
of course very fast get used to the app, it's not really hard.
now the hardest part of the job is trying to figure out the destination location when getting ping within 15 seconds so can decide whether to accept or not.
this kind of job is hands on one, reading is no use also, maybe except to learn tips and tricks only.

my first grab job was cancelled by the rider... when the request ping came in at SS17, i just pressed accept and then the screen turned to grab's blurry map with rider's name on top( the color so dark and can't see clearly also). I didn't know where was the button to start the navigation and therefore i just pressed here and there. fortunately somehow i managed to start the navigation and started driving to the destination. when i reached the destination, i'm not sure how many times i pressed the button "i'm here" as i din't see the word "msg sent". i thought the button should have turned to red or other colors once you press it. waited for few minutes then received a cancellation message... cursed like hell. So i checked back the cancelled job and it was short trip ride from SS19 to SS15 courtyard. Then only I realized i went to the drop off place, SS15 courtyard for the pick up. The rider must have been wondering why i was at his intended destination place and kept sending him "I'm here". bangwall.gif bangwall.gif

you know what maybe instead of that tutorial that grab make you take every time you install the app, a more effective way is the first few jobs for fresh grab drivers, when a ping come in, the app display some banner or hints to guide you what to do.... like press here for pick up, press here to go to Passenger pickup location etc etc...

they should stop all those promo popups. very irritating. There are also many times I accidentally press picked up because I was right on the spot when the request comes. I don't bother to read. Just ok, ok to get the box out of the way...

to be honest if you can get blue collar job like plumbing or wiring also good. nowadays oversupply of degree holders all want white collar job.
hi tech gambling.... do Bitcoin mining or invest in some new cryptocurrency....99% chance to lose your $ but small chance to be millionaire ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ still better then lottery I think If you're good at computers.

yes..even the contractors fixing light and fans are earning more than us.
aircond servicing also good money now.

lottery also cannot be trusted nowdays... not very transparent  sweat.gif

of course current system riders like la... cos they are almost guaranteed not matched, is free 20% discount. if changed to a system where only if got matched ride, then both parties can proceed... see whether you still like or not.,๐Ÿ˜
if I not mistaken this is the system that Lyft in US use.
