It's like games. When quest is completed, they make it harder to achieve. Last night I went for 3 hours drive, only 3 pings. Feeling tired, went back and lepak kedai,  minum2. lagi syok. 😅

I totally disagree (see my earlier post on how you can earn or lose money).

Since the incentives are based on number of trips (regardless of distance), the shorter the trip, the lower your costs so effectively you earn more.

What's the point of doing an airport trip that earns you additional rm3 incentive when you can earn the same by doing a short 0.5km trip?

Many drivers are making the mistake of equating total fares with higher earnings when they don't take into account their costs. In reality the more you drive without incentives, even if your total fares are sky high, you may end up doing charity work

Long trips are only worth doing when the boost/surge is very high else you can never get anything close to rm1/km. Unlike before, without the SD feature, getting a long trip with surge/boost above 2x is like striking 4d

Upfront fare is actually the brightest idea by their execs.
This way, fare remains low and riders are happy to continue using Uber - and the loss is transferred to the drivers.
And Uber keeps leeching on the commission, 2x win situation for them.
Well, Grab has it's weaknesses as well.
But then, you can see the fare before accepting a trip - so you can blame no one if it sux.
And also if you're trapped in an unexpected traffic, you have HG to fall back to.

Income-wise, Grab beats Uber by a mile.
Drive for fun, maybe Uber.

Wow..220 for 21trips?!? I think everybody's quest is different no? Cos mine is RM120 for 54trips this week.

Just this morning, was sent from Berjaya Time Square to pick up at Damansara City Centre..trip was 9km+ and took me 12mins to get there.
Already had a bad feeling its a stupid lousy trip but usually i dont reject 1st of the day. And was also hoping the rider will cancel..well, rider didnt cancel and i was right. It was a dumb ass short trip. 1.2km & 4mins...

Ace incentive = take money from Uber's pocket.
Of course fail lar, short-trip riders win all the way.

Wow.....uber has this feature now?we can choose our preferred pickup time?sounds great

Nice......hopefully grab is able to do the same.We also have long long pickup nowadays

Really got people go and do Ace 2nd trial? I didn't see anybody post their results on Fesbuk.

Really miss Ace 1st trial...

Actually u only earn 75% of that rm1.76 waiting time. which is rm1.32. so about rm0.13/minutes. maybe a 2 star rating from rider???

have u guys experienced where the rider calls to inform he's running late and ask u to 'Start Trip' first?
i'm just curious, if in that situation, would it be better to hit start trip or let the wait time charges run?
there was once i was told to start trip while he 'finishing my drink' which took 20-25mins

Just curious, any of you notice driver destination trip did not count towards quest trip today?

after nearly 2 years active driving uber, i finally decided to switch to grab.

i manage to maintain a good 4.84 average rating, reaching 1800 rides d. but
lately uber driver apps is getting unreliable. crash all the time. it crash then rider cancel ride, and i didnt get notified about it, i reach the pickup point just to know that ride has been canceled, feel like a fool d. and also, driver destination is not functioning, it has been months.

sorry uber

I beg to differ that Ubers technology is inferior to crap. On the contrary, it's at least 1 year ahead. From past history, whatever Uber throws away, crap will pick up, for eg hourly guarantees, SD.

believe that Uber is now refining SD to prevent abuse by certain groups (you know who you are!!). Very typical of Uber ethics, instead of resorting to banning, they use technology to prevent the abuse.

Accidentally discovered, so it may be under trial now..

- SD can be set any time, any location after completing 20+ trips

- app will ask if you want to activate SD when you switch offline. This is random, no particular pattern

- the excuse of maintaining network reliability is bullshit! If terms are not met, SD is not available even in the middle of the jungle
