I agree. From Zouk to Mont Kiara RM35-40. No jam, easy money.

But I couldn't care less driving past 11pm-12am anymore, especially in KL. The last time I drove around midnight, I slept almost throughout the afternoon the next day. Wasted my family time big time. I'm 34, too old to drive around late at night like youngsters anymore 😂

Super experience: Karma's a Biaaatch

I was at KL golden triangle. Stuck in jam around 10pm to pick up at Dua Residency to 231 Condominium. Taking a detour around Stonor road since Waze directed me to use Kia Peng but road closure. A Dato driving Camry was slow on green lights while he reached junction already yellow, still brake even slow to turn. I was furious about the detour since wasted extra 5 mins I horned him kaw kaw. He feeling it in deep purposely slow down in front of me. Another junction to turn left he stayed right, I signalled and tried turning left, he quickly signalled and turned left in front of me and slowly driving along the small road. My heart really burning rage and he wanna play I'll play along, getting soooo close to his butt like was poke him and aggressively left and right. I guess most cars behind me felt the same shat. Until end of junction towards Jalan Tun Razak, I stopped far from him to observe how slow he's cutting out to the main road, leaving him to think the game still on. Some motorcyclists having tendencies to keep left on cars when turning left. So naturally when we drivers turning left, we had to look right oncoming vehicles before exit. That Dato probably screwed with full emotional provoke by me and still cursing in his heart, on second motorcyclist taking left, he exited at the same time and almost bang on the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist stopped and start staring each other with cursing eye contact. Motorcycle stopped the wife had to get off on pavement with squinting eyes staring at Dato too. I went near to Dato's butt hinting don't waste time, farking move along if nothing like shat on pants happened.

u so lenient ah rclxms.gif

I wait max 5 mins, for me time is gold, u got 3 customers let u wait 5 mins each, u wasted 15 mins, u could have complete one job within that time period. Unless the rider inform about his/her situation, i don't give a damn about it. Even OKU also know book when ready, normal people cannot do so?

OKU r more efficient than those late langsi riders.. The few times that I picked up OKU riders they were already at PuP waiting for me to arrive, plus they were very friendly too

so today i went and sent my friend to klia. just for fun i turn on grab app and did a small data gathering activity.

if your number is around 600 ish you are going to wait about 4 hours. and that is from 630am where are many flights are arriving.

Th

4 hrs is alot of wasted time. Klia is still a screwed up place for natural grabbers like us (without modified app).
I took a grabcar plus (exora) from Klia abt 2 weeks ago and d driver claimed he normally completes abt 4 Klia trips in 8 hours since he has an efficient gelap app. He did not know I'm a grab driver myself.

That day I sent 4 Upm students to nearby McD and it was raining. Everything was pleasant and I even shielded them one by one with umbrella upon dropoff. When I was abt to get back into my car after bidding goodbye, one of them said to me "terima kasih ya Uncle, kami mesti bagi uncle 4 bintang!" I was like 'WTH?'

First time in my 4mths in Grab, stupid rider cancel the request because of refuse to walk more 10steps to get into my car. I saw them from my rear mirror, I call the rider, 1st time she dun pick-up. 2nd time she pickup, and say " saya nampak you drive lepas I tadi"
Thats one way road, I have to make a big turn to back in front of them. I told her never mind u wait me, I turn back. When I half way turn back, the request been cancelled. Then I dun want argue I just passby them after my big turn, then my hp ring again. This time the rider pattern come, ,she raise her voice, ask me again where am I? I told her you cancelled the request because dun want walk even 10steps now u ask mana saya? Then I hang & text her.

Really f off this kind of customer. 4km away from her I come, then she cancel in front me because dun want walk. Fker really.

Wander if customer cancelled request, they still can rate driver? My rate drop .02 after one ppl rate me.

Salute!
It's a screwed up new world where now even local PPR dwellers r becoming princesses n too lazy too even make a little effort to wave their hands to alert oncoming grab drivers.

Was in Mahkota Cheras dropping off and then kena pick up job in Alam Damai, really siao. Because of traffic it took 40mins to arrive and then the rider cancelled when I was less than 200m away although she said she will wait when I messaged her with d eta before proceeding.

that is why nowadays I don't take trips that will take more then 10 mins to reach. too many times Kena like u b4, Rider say okay to wait halfway changed their minds... then you are still stuck in jam.

if grab want to retain drivers sooner or later they gonna have to introduce cancellation charge like Uber....Uber if Rider cancel after 5 mins of job been accepted they will Kena 5 ringgit penalty also. I think Didi in China also similar system. I heard that even have daily Incentive payout and bank in within 1hr...
*
I couldn't agree more. I have to start having a eta time limit b4 taking any trips from now on.

I really hope Grab will seriously look into introducing a rider cancellation penalty so that it is fairer to us drivers who have to waste petrol n time to get to them.

When I was in Taipei a few weeks ago I met an Uber driver (35yo) who was an ex Senior IT Engineer. According to him he quit his well-paid IT Engineering job to be a full-time Uber driver because he can 'earn more' plus his working hours as an Uber driver r shorter.
Just imagine the same scenario becoming true here.
