Khosrowshahi outlined the challenges in Southeast Asia, where Uber has had to spend heavily to compete with local ride services Ola and Grab.

"The economics of that market are not what we want them to be," Khosrowshahi said. "I think it's over-capitalized at this point. We're going in, and we're leaning forward. But I'm not optimistic that market is going to be profitable any time soon."

But he dismissed the prospect of further consolidation similar to the merger deals Uber struck with competitors in China and Russia.

I guess we would get less but better (hopefully) riders.

some drivers set min 4.4 rider rating as min, some 4.5, some 4.6 and some as low as 4.0...

I think if uber can reconfigure the setting to let individual drivers to filter their own riders and pick up times are the best.

Don't know how much Uber spends on advertisements of late.
But really, they should save these money, and improve remuneration for drivers instead.

later when uber pool came into picture, driver earning will be even higher than now. They think their current fare is on the high side.

Don't know.
My rating keep increasing, the 1-week I drove for Uber it increased by 0.02.
Rating increase is pointless, money needs to increase lar...

Has ublur's driver-assignment algorithm gone haywire? I keep getting pings from riders who were more than 10km away.

I was in surge zone. I am sure there were nearer riders...

Then again to Uber partners the more you drive the more you loss

crapcar slow pings in areas such as cyber, putrajaya, nilai...

but much easy to get ping with Ublur...but price is terrible.

sometimes the actual fare is only 80 to 90% of their fare formula, i.e. 0.25 x travel times+ 0.6 x km

If I am rider, of course I would choose the cheapest ride of the two....afterall, there is little differentiation between Uber and Grab.

If both fare about same, then, I will request Grab, coz no need hassle answer call from driver asked "mana mau pigi?"  doh.gif

Grab driver mau accept, accept lor, don't want accept, don't accept lor....no need call and ask, willing rider, willing driver.

Plus, Grab got promo one, got points convert to other stuff  rclxms.gif Uber habuk pun tarak

have you notice that when we become riders, some drivers would rate us lower than 5 stars?

even though no issues in pick up, drop off and during the trips.

I don't know where to check my rating in the rider app... Teach me ?
It sux sometimes, there are all kinds of drivers and riders out there nowadays.
Please report if you feel you are treated unfairly.

Uber should impose a rm4-5 minimum fare.
This way, there will be lesser tempang riders in the country (those princesses and spoiled college students).

recently pick up in sunway areas and receive a lots of pings with poor rider ratings....

it must be cause by u. 😂

Most drivers doing Grab now instead of Uber peanut money.
Just open the passengers apps to compare the amount of drivers in the area.

Often i hear complaints from my riders tht uber drivers call n ask for destination and cancel if its short..the newest complaint was the uber driver came in a different car to pick up and said his car spoil..the customer of courss did not take the ride and had to pay the rm5 at next ride which was me...i decided to check on some scams " some " uber drivers employ and just sharing it here as information.

What they do when they get long distance , halfway through the journey or in just 10 to 15min time press the complete trip n switch offline n perhaps close their screen or switch off their phone (meaning they know the way to the destination). Or they will pretend their batt died n ask direction from rider. Upon reaching the destination the rider will pay wht his app shows. Since the driver has "completed" the trip earlier the fare n commision in his uber app will be much much lower and he pockets the difference. I came to know this when i sent my foreign guests in a uber to klia.. I used my wife rider app n we paid the driver in advance as we wanted to sponsor the trip for our guest...it was rm45.00 n wife my gv the uber driver rm50. But later when i checked her rider app it shows abt 12 bucks n the destination not klia but a place along the way !!        All kinds of trick the uber driver employs . Below is the screenshot .

can made report via your rider app + 1 star rating for underbilling instance.

ask for asking for destination, ublur is partly to be blamed for expecting their drivers to do charity work for them.
