Imagine if I do 20 trips in 1 day.
Average of 5 km pickups.
20 x 5 km = 100 km = rm20 petrol for my car.
Haven't calculate the time spent for that 100 km.

That is why always set max pickup distance set it to 5 km.
This way your average will be lower.

Hi, I remember if you can set max pickup distance to 5km and also riders with 4.7 star. Will it become less order for you as now rider sometime below 4.7 star

Hi guys, once we got passager in the car and new request coming in, we only can taps accept without knowing how far the distance we pick them up later right? Am my understanding correct?

no, incoming will tell you the distance and how many minutes.

Are you using waze for navigation? Because I am using waze as navigation and when new request coming in then I just can tap to request without knowing the pick up distance. Or it won't happen if use uber as navigation?

Distance, time, fare multiplier, and rider's rating will show.
But it's hard to see clearly while driving, so I will always click accept.
After dropping the current passenger, then only cancel if it's too far.
No - based on the last time I drove 3 weeks ago.
Now I don't know.

If I'm not mistaken..it's the distance & time from the current drop off..
*
Because I had been experience yesterday. When I got one rider and then new request come in. Tat time I using waze as navigation. So I can't see how far is the new rider pick up location. Whn I drop off the current rider and get to see the new rider pick up location is about 8km and 10min. So far. From subang to crystal plaza

Yes, i try uber navigation before and face this problem before. then i change to waze, but face another problem is when ping come in i am unable to see the pick up distance and force to accept the request first due to i got rider in my car. after drop off i just can see the pick up distance for the new rider.

Is my understand correct for this?

You will still be able to see the pick up distance, as Uber app will come to the foreground. In any case, the distance and estimated time are far from accurate.

I used Uber navigation for about 2 weeks when I had problem with Waze. (Actually it's Uber app which caused problem in Waze.) Uber navigation has quite a number of shortcomings:
- Many roads are not in the map, e.g. the road leading to Awan Besar LRT station.
- Often, it doesn't know if a road is one-way, and tells us to drive in the wrong direction, e.g. the road in front of Astro in Technology Park Malaysia.
- Estimated time to pick-up and drop-off points are less accurate compared to Waze.
- When one approaches pick-up or drop-off point, additional information is displayed, which leaves just over half the screen space for map.

On the other hand, Waze gives us the fastest route, while Uber's estimated fare is based on shortest route. If you take the longer (albeit faster) route, the actual fare will be adjusted, but the rider can dispute it.

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.

if no surge are you drive for crab? normally dinner hour 6pm-9pm which platform you drive with? ahha

Yeah, 1.5 to 1.6 above is okay la. 2.0 above baru best.

1.2 to 1.3 still boleh la for medium distance trip... But long trip confirm still rugi if only 1.2 to 1.3.
*
last time i kena 1.3 from utar pj to setia eco park. rugi when come back no ping!

hard to get 2,0 nowadays. owes max 1.8-1.9.

but too bad surge need charge 25% also, not like boost. surge higher than boost also kena charge 25%. sad

Yeah, last Sunday Boost until 2.4x! Too bad I still busy washing my car. Only managed to snatch 1 ping at 2.2x boost. 13km trip, get like RM34 net after minus commission.  rclxms.gif

Then another nice one, Surge 1.7x if I remember correctly. 5km trip but take more than 20 minutes to complete so fare was RM21 like that. Passenger some more give me tips.  rclxms.gif

When boost 1.4x and Surge also 1.4x, Uber said we get the Surge amount because they always pay the higher amount. Hahaha.. Bullshit. If they give us the Boost, we earn more.
*
where got pay us higher amount. Surge and boost also same amount and surge we kena charge 25%, which they earn more. grrr mad.gif

yesterday midnight i saw bukit jalil there got surge till 1.7. but lazy drive already.

Short trip with surge I think can earn a bit. Why not man? Usually short trip will take longer time to complete, per kilometer, compared to long trip. So per km, you will earn more than long trip. That's the pro and con of Uber's fare calculation that includes time. You do long trip, you take highway, you can drive fast, so on average, per km you complete the trip faster, so the fare not so good, per km.

Grab just calculate 1.1 to 1.4 per km but fixed fare. If you Flexi you really cannot do short trip in KL. RM5 trip also can jam until 1 hour. If you HG, you need to maintain 80% AR so KL is a really dangerous place. Passenger cannot wait, cancel on you, you can end up stuck in KL 1 hour without completing any job. Then everyday you need to explain to CS about passenger cancellation. Really sien.

But long trip Grab usually better.

Uber, with Surge, is good for medium distance trip.

Anyway, my main reason for choosing Uber at the moment is not because of higher earnings, but because of less headache. Hopefully they will bring back Ace.
*
but i saw you post regarding from ioi mall to pavilion crab only collect RM23 while uber is collect RM32. which mean sometime crab long trip not worth also.

medium distance is within 15km? haha. too bad we dont know where is rider drop off lcoation

For me, short trip is 5-7km or less. Medium trip is 7-20km. 20km and above is long trip. But see the situation like where is the drop-off. Since IOI Mall to Pavilion still can get ping easily, I consider it as medium distance trip. Outstation trips completely no no for me.

That Uber fare RM32 I think includes surge..

But my main point for that post is sometimes Grab use ruler to calculate fare. 22km and 21 minutes if you take highway. Grab calculate 18km if you take Old Klang Road but it will take you more than 30 minutes to reach. Flexi really kena screwed.

But for your case yesterday, 43km trip, no matter how we look at it also Grab's fare is higher. At 4AM also the fare is RM63.

That's why I say, got Surge only I go out do Uber. But for this week la, see how first, whether they will bring back Ace.

Yeah too bad we can't see the destination. But still, at least we can see if it's long trip that will take more than 40 minutes. But sometimes kena those trips that take like 35 minutes or 39 minutes so we don't get any warning. Shit.

So sien le if go back to Grab. They got so many other problems.
*
last time i drive to setia eco park from PJ around 30-40min. not dare drive too fast. haha..

sometime Surge also need see whether your area got Surge or not. if not also not worth to do. Surge 1.1 1.2 also consider Surge.. haha.

So now you just drive for uber or crab also? i think now should be peak for crap already.

But what i love uber is the rider all is very polite, but mostly all is foreigner. XD
