Ordered Uber few days ago. Seems like there was a bug. Uber Flash fees cheaper than Uber X. Luckily didn't get a teksi. RM15 vs RM19. Save up RM4. But pity the driver tho. Not sure what is the logic for different fare there.

Well the bug as posted above happening now. I assume it is happening around midnight time. Flash rate is cheaper than X.
You can check the apps now.

Yes. you will get celebrity and more class passenger compare to Grab.

so far only Uber starts the ball rolling. while the other rival still zero news.

just so you know, driver rating can be edited back by going to the trip history.

rumors but not fact.
then again why need to maintain high acceptance rating in Uber? is there any added bonus?
only cancellation rating you must maintain. but not acceptance rating.

just ignore only those far pick up ping request. drive 10 km pick up a passenger just want to go 1km journey?

1. Yes rating is always important. You are helping the community. So please do your part and rate, especially those bad attitude passenger. Rate them 1 star so that another drivers will not pick or accept their ping request. They will need to use back teksi confirm. Pandan muka for their bad attitude.

2. Your location? There is no longer guarantee fare in the Klang Valley.

3. No formula for this. Total random.

It needs to work 2 ways. Passengers win. Drivers also must feel like winning.
But sorry to say it is not the case for Uber drivers. Is there any added bonus for picking up many short trips? I dont think so.
With this promo on, creating more and more short trips. Passenger sure happy no need to pay FOC trip. But how about the driver? Hmm...

Just for the sake of comparison. Last Saturday, long weekends, but luckily Grab got promo code on. Pubic holidays, weekends as always will be full with part time drivers. So ping request will be "dry". However with promo, this is the recorded earning from one of the incentive driver:



This driver is certainly happy as well as all the passengers he picked up. So you see the difference?

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.

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.

they are banking on their international reputation. but I guess slowly those staying longer in Malaysia will test out Grab as well.

Grab swinging a KO punch at Uber now. can they survive?
those still driving Uber and Grab together. better decide now. cannot have the best of both world?

I doubt so. Ever since Uber self kill themselves by taking away guaranteed incentive, I don't think any drivers moving the other way round which is from Grab to Uber. Unless if they got removed from Grab, then no choice, only left Uber can drive.

Most of us switch to the dark side. Read from page 1 to know the story.

rm320 gross possible on Grab. but not 10-5.
same 8 hours but adjusted time from 5-10 in the morning. and 5 to 8 in the evening. that's all. example is for Monday. anyway, different day different timing.

In city. Klang Valley.

do not leave your current job just to drive Uber / Grab. please.
because the system changes for the worse and will only get worse.

used to be earning 2k per week nett (fare+incentive) with only 60 hours online on the road early this year. but now? impossible.

smart rider will compare price on both apps before ordering. sometimes Grab will be cheaper.

Baik naik teksi je dik.

> 12 hours a day confirm can get RM200 a day. if not really can throw away dont drive Uber anymore.

Taking Grab for example. HP block X 10 hours enough. With 3 trips per hour is gross RM400 for 10 hours work.
This is a realistic figure considering some blocks will be UP or MP. and sometimes you are only able to do 2 trips per block. on average should be around 2.5 trips per block in a day.
