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.

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.

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.

bro, nowadays too many drivers on the road lah. need to wait quite long to get customer in KLIA. sad.gif

Is e-hailing public transport?

Lots of view points on should driver know the price/destination before pickup, and should driver be force to pickup non-agreeable job?

my own personal view, if e-hailing is public transport, then yes, driver need to pickup all, but if e-hailing is not public transport then driver should have the say
I would put e-hailing as not public transport
Why not let the free market decide on the correct fare+destination?
(if drivers are not picking some fare+destination, just means there is a price mismatch)

Then again, e-hailing in under SPAD ( Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat ) - public transport  blush.gif
if e-hailing need to behave like public transport, there should be no option to accept pickup (all pickup is mandatory), no cancellation is allowed unless vehicle got problem.
Rider rating will be discontinued, as all pickup is mandatory
.... and e-hailing drivers get some subsidies for doing public transport
note: those Taxi association really got no head, if they do, they just need demand fair competition (e-hailing must do mandatory pickup) and you would see e-haling drivers quitting by the lorry loads

It's my car, damn it. Stupid Uber owns nothing. As if Uber drivers make way more than their competitors.
Why other competitor such as Grab can allow this ? Even Lyft is also allowing it ?
By not allowing drivers to see destination, they can perform a lot of hanky-panky stuffs.
You won't be bothered about destination if you are a full-time driver.
You won't be bothered about destination if you are earn better than those that can see destination.
But this is not the case.

And 1 year ago is a long time in this ride-hailing industry.
You see changes every month.

Well said. at least as a driver we need to know where is the destination before we pick up the customer.
