Uber and Grab need to give promos to maintain their brand. Otherwise it's no difference than other apps such as zepp on, Mula, ezycab etc etc. It's how they selectively choose those who deserves the promos.

It is the competition between Uber VS Grab only. Other apps like no match.
Uber started the week with promo code but not for Grab. I think they must have notice the drop in request therefore decide to hit back. Last week promo is RM5 off. This week is RM6 off. Competition driving each other to kill slash the pricing.

Something like what the telcos did some years back. DiGi slash prices to gain market share, then others fight back.

I just signed up on Uber. I am a GC driver and I am wondering what limitations Uber have on the drivers like acceptance %, cancellation %, driver's minimum rating, what incentives are there, det cetera. Where can I get such info?

How does uber incentive works? Is there any chart to see like grab peak chart?

The majority of GC drivers are Flexi drivers. They gun for big fares only like cabbies. So, in retrospect, they are paying us incentive drivers. IMO Grab and Uber have yet to realise this but they need both types of drivers; drivers like long rides and drivers who like short rides. With the money we are making, it does not make sense to accpet all rides, however both companies are expecting that as drivers, we must serve irrelevant. What they need to do is drive themselves for 2 weeks. Believe me, they will see the light.

I know it is not organic, but this would increase the revenue and the figure will be appealing for investor, saying we manage to increase revenue bla bla %.

In the end it is still about figure for the management and investor.

True, their marketing sucks, just look at the billboard photo

Birdshit on car
Car drive fast and water splash on woman

I can't relate all this photo with Uber advertisement at all

Also....it's all about DATA or STATISTICS, things that matters more than money. Thay's why no more collaboration between Google and Facebook on Adroid platform as they dont't wanna share their data

Serious leh, it was something like 12 trips for rm95 on Fri-Mon.
Really need me to dig my e-mail from weeks ago ?

Tempted me to upload my latest insurance cover note LOL...


Don't know about any incentive, only available to newbie or non-KV drivers ? Can anyone confirm this ?
The number of trip for quest bonus is available on your driver app, you can check it there.
In fact, 99% of the time you can check from your driver app.


I am a lazy Flexi for Grab now, making ~10 trips per week LOL...
I only pick ppl who is on the same destination/way.
Extra money while going to my client's place, why not ?

some inactive drivers get two tier quest.
$$ per trip on first tier is usually higher...ublur think these drivers won't drive much to hit the second tier target anyway.

just saw this...

Seriously, as a driver, we have the right to know the destination of the passenger and we have the right to decide either to take the job or not.

nope. this is not how Uber works.
you cannot be like teksi driver. anywhere in the klang valley you cannot say no. unless it is inter outside city, then you can cancel after picking up.

I thought it is a ride-sharing business, no?

somehow ublur need to find out root cause why their driver act certain ways. die 2 ask their driver to follow their rules such as maintaining high acceptance rate won't work....

want to ban their drivers also need to consider the no of driver in the street.

Indeed.

looking at their billboard advertisement also is like ........... ??? seems they are out of touch with the market and their drivers too.

long time didn't drive for Uber already.....is the situation slightly better or worse in terms of fare and earning?

One of the reason Uber started was because taxi drivers were rejecting customers due to the destinations.

I haven't driven in a year but when I was driving, I wasn't too fussy about destinations. Got Genting and KLIA a few times though but that time, there's a high chance you would get a returning trip.

Today morning 7.30am click online at PJ Bandar Utama area.

First Ping showed funny details on the phone.

It says 1 min only and rider's rating only.

No distance showed.

Since it says only 1 min, I accepted it.

Then only it shows go to Sungai Buloh and about 25 minutes away.

I was STUNNED !!! But no choice already accepted it and have to go.

Then suddenly rider cancelled the trip !!! Happily thanks the rider for his cancellation. Maybe too long for him to wait for me to reach there.

Then second Ping came and only 3 minutes to go there.

If like that, almost cheated by UBlurr Driver app !!!

Hahahah

Ride-sharing business just a nice term to entice you to join.....unofficially, you are just (previously) unlicensed taxi sapu

Yeap, I agree...when I started, I also accept all the trips come in, and I would say the apps and riders was way much better, they won't simply assign you riders who is far away, max also 2-3km away, and no all those stupid promo that encourage tempang riders, resulted you drive longer to pick the riders than total ride destination (my records was drive 4km to pick up a ride for 200m, reason it's raining, and the tempang rider don't want get wet), and only accepted card payment. In other way, the rider is more well behave, Uber had all their records, unlike now, I can just buy multiple prepaid card, create multiple email and create multiple Uber rider account, u banned me, u give me low rating, never mind, I still can use another account. Plus, the fare was much better that time......

That was good old time....and good things doesn't last long....now to compete with Grab, and to get more riders, to explain to gomen, to get more income, they market it as taxi replacement for riders......instead of "ride-sharing" but still use "ride-sharing to attract new drivers......

And, the one that stop me from driving altogether, they introduce fixed fare, and also they remove the waiting time from the fare.....

So, I stopped altogether.....it just ain't worth it......and after deducting all expenses, barely breakeven....only advantage, is just flexible
