they knew you are the bastard who always rants on public forum...deswai u never get the ace incentive.

Never get because I don't drive for them anymore.
Never get because they know I am a free-time driver only.
Never get because they can estimate how many trips I can do per week.
Never get because they know I am an old bird, I know where to get all those shortest trips.

You are right ---> I am a bastard to cb leech Uber brows.gif

All of the above hahaha...
Anyway who cares...

Senai Airport got queue system or fixed fare or not ?
Actually I still think the KLIA fixed fare is still do-able for drivers.
It's just the waiting time to get a trip back, and also sometimes kena kacau by Taxi and JPJ.

If only Uber would consider changing it's system to be more transparent in receiving jobs, i bet Uber will take over grabs market with ease. If they could bend their rules from cards only to cash friendly why not make the jobs transparent? 🤔
*
By not being transparent will allow Uber to do a lot of bloody stuffs behind their driver's back.
There is always a reason, it's not as simple as ABC as to why destination and pickup address is not shown.


QUOTE(jasontantenghuat @ Dec 12 2017, 12:24 PM)
lol when i drove (many many moons ago), could see the pick up address when receiving ping.
*
That was many months ago, beginning of the year and I was still driving then.
Last year got Per Hour Guarantee some more.
Less crippled riders.
It was more enjoyable and fun and productive driving during those times.

Alas, Uber finally did something good.
All those time that I have driven for them, fare will only decrease - not increase.

I calculated an estimated increase of ~15% in revenue.
An average trip is about 1 min per km, so it will be around rm1/km fare - not too far compared to Grab now.
Throw in the quest and surge, this is really something good for the drivers out there.

Now, let's see how riders will react.

Hi guys, I don’t know whether this is a correct place to ask - I’m trying to register as a driver and now I suddenly see that my insurance cover note don’t have expiry date. To whom do I ask about this information?
*
You are looking at the wrong document.
Check all the available pages lar.
Insurance policy have to be renewed every year, and so must have an expiry date.

LOL...

You mean me is it ?
I can reinstall it back anytime I want LOL...

It's only whether it's worth driving for Uber or not.

Things are looking much better for Uber now, if the demand stays the same.

after ditching Uber for few months (driving with Grab), now switched back, and I couldn't be more happier with the increase in fare.

I would say the fare is comparable now to Grab. Might consider driving more with Uber compared to Grab due to few advantage (more civilized rider, cancellation fee, can rate rider).

Only downside is, still receiving ping more than 10KM, and still does not show the destination unless started trip.

Main reason for switching as I feel the quest reward is better compared to Flexi incentive for Grab
*
Long distance pickup ping you can ignore as always.
When more drivers switch back to Uber, there will be lesser long distance pickup.

But yeah, the fare is comparable to Grab now - albeit the Per Hour Guarantee.
So how's demand in KV nowadays ?

If Uber offers Uber Ace to me, then they really GG.

My dreaded short-trip ports all easily 4 trips per hour.
150 trips a week is not that hard, 4 full days can achieve.
rm1850 for 4 days work is good money.

Too bad didn't offer to me :-(

Is the boost being calculated since the start point we pick up the rider? or take effect at the end point? Or start and end must be in boost area only able to get ?
*
Boost is calculated when you pick up rider from a boost area.
Surge is also shown before you accept the trip.

You need to drive slow slow like ah pek. 1km 1 minute. Then can get RM1 per km. Haiya.. Pipu already know long distance trip with Uber really rugi wan. No surge why u do?

*
Long distance trips with Uber is do-able.

Short distance trips are the ones that is killing the drivers - due to no hourly guarantee and the bloody upfront fare.
But if got Ace incentive then short distance is also do-able.

Be glad that the current fare is not as shit as the past.

Regarding Ace, CS said they want to get feedback from drivers about it. But so far haven't pass feedback form to drivers yet. (I didn't get the form, did you?)

Without Ace, I'm not going to Uber without Surge.
*
I didn't drive for the past few weeks lol...
Because Uber didn't offer Ace incentive to me cry.gif

I tell you what I think, they are probably bleeding $$$ for offering Ace incentive to drivers.
The market in Malaysia is still not mature enough, many riders still want rock-bottom fare price / free.
And there are still too many short trips.

If they roll-out Ace to all drivers, they sure gg big time.
I will juz camp at those infamous short-trip ports and sucking rm1000+ from them each week easily.

Juz don't accept lar, this is nothing new in Uber.
Happened countless times since the beginning of this year.

Don't bother about the AR, care about whether it is profitable or not.
Care about the money in your pocket.

8.4 km pickup, I really wonder how much you can make from it.
Even if it's a 8.4 km trip, I bet you won't make much as well.

There is always 2 type of riders.....the one price sensitive, these riders, everytime, they want a ride, will check the price first. Will choose whichever cheaper, timing is not issue for them. Another type, they want the ride fast, they don't mind pay slightly extra compare to others.....So long as the price sensitive riders exist, Uber will exist, because some ride, it cheaper using Uber.
*
There is actually a 3rd type of rider.
Those that doesn't need a ride, but requested a ride because it's free or less than rm3.
The 2 types you have mentioned actually needs a ride to go somewhere.

Nowadays I think no more free ride.
The promos are something like -50% discount up to a certain amount max.
I have not received any promo from Uber for a couple of weeks myself.

There always people willing to drive for Uber, for some unknown reason  laugh.gif or they don't know yet is rugi.....it is only realised rugi when u need to pump petrol, realised why so often need to pump petrol, when u need to pay car maintenance, etc.....when u received cash or bank in from Uber, u won't realised one.....u thought u got extra money to spend laugh.gif  then, end of month, why don't feel got extra cash in pocket or money in bank money not enough one, or even lesser than before driving  laugh.gif

How often people diligently keep records of all spending vs money collected?
*
===> ME

Last year when I started driving for Uber, my Uber bank account (separate account) kept increasing.
This year it hit me hard when I sent my car for maintenance, I had to withdraw >50% savings from my Uber bank account.
So I started to calculate all the "hidden costs" and wasted time (long pickups), and then realised that the earning is too shitty.

That is why in the previous Uber thread, I complained so hard.
But still there are ppl supporting Uber, I also cannot figure out why - maybe they drive an Axia.

Now I don't know if the hike in fare is worth it to drive or not, but for sure not as bad as 2017.

Ok lah, still got 50% balance after minus off the car maintenance. Petrol include or not?  laugh.gif

What car u drive ah? So jimat one?

Last time when I drive, when the petrol still below RM2/liter, everyday I keep tap on it, got seperate account, how much fare I got, how much I spend for petrol, spend for maintainance, average out over 1 year period, return only 20% max  cry.gif And, the hours, usually 12 hours min, but, I drive whenever I sukak lah, I don't follow time (last time, got dunno what peak hour bonus lah, etc), I usually drive off-peak hour, less traffic, less stress.

Demand still there, then, more and more tempang and demanding riders, it ain't fun driving around already.....and the one broke the camel back, the introduce fixed fare  bye.gif Uber.....

For that experience, yeah, fun.....still remember my first drive, pick up one part time DJ work for RTM (which I don't recognised him, coz I don't listen to RTM  laugh.gif , immediately I try to tune my radio into RTM channel to show support, konon wanna give 5* service while pretend calm, actually dammed nervous). He spotted it, asked me "New driver?" I sheepish reply, u r my first rider  blush.gif ...then, he very nice, keep talking to me, ask me to treat as friend tumpang my car, and promise give me 5* rating.

The subsequent few were also pleasant, maybe that time Uber just accept card payment, so, rider well behave, worry they kena banned, their records Uber all have. The fare is quite ok too, about 20% lesser than taxi, but, customer no complain, only praise, good pleasant driver, nice car, safe. Some customer also feel very weird, why no need pay me end of ride one, keep asking me, sure no need pay u anything? Sure u get paid? Need to assure them, no worry, Uber will charge your credit card, and then they will pay me. Don't worry.... biggrin.gif Of course, rider also lesser lah. one day usually 6-8 request, but, still can hit RM100-RM120 per day. In between, I drop off, then, go home.

Then, they slash fare, they accept cash, do more promotion, encourage tempang rider, and, the rider quality start deteriorate, but, still acceptable lah......

Then, as more and more popular, plus government acknowledge them (still remember government silent on that, once a while kena harrassed by taxi drivers, go pick up riders at klcc or pavillion, feel like going to war or gallow  laugh.gif worst when pickup tourist, they don't have local phone number, they don't know Malaysia taxi gangster, wait at taxi stand and wave like crazy to tell whole world u r Uber  sweat.gif ) or worry where SPAD have operation (still remember one time SPAD had operation at Sunway, Uber send sms to all drivers, ask to avoid Sunway Pyramid, reason, heavy traffic jam, but, the old thread news spread like crazy, dunno how many car kena impounded, actually wayang only, for reporter to see, tomorrow call to release back the car)

Oh well, those were the old days.....feel very old already, only oldfag Uber driver can relates all above....... tongue.gif

If got 50% balance after nett everything, I won't complain lor.
Maybe my previous statement is misleading, what I am trying to mean is that a big part of what you make will go into maintenance.
Unlike last year, you won't feel a thing when you go for maintenance.

Because last year, drive less and fare/trip is much higher.
This year (as in 2017), drive a lot more to make the same income as last year.
As a result clocking higher mileage, thus maintenance become jialat also.
