Ex-driver checking in....can I? Welcomed here?  :confused:

I kena "Professionalism" last week..just because this Rider not at his pick up location..

I received his ping at a residence condo..went to the lobby..and saw his message to me "Where are you going?"

I immediately called him and told him that I'm at the lobby..he told me he was waiting for me at the mamak across the road I quickly drove to his pick up..and realised I DID drove past him..but here's the thing..he didn't even wave when I was approaching him initially..as if I can recognize it was him

I apologized to him once he's in the car and explain the situation..instead he showed his a disgusted look and shrug off..

Next thing I know..my rating from 4.92 drop to 4.89 with a professionalism report



Kinda slowed down Uber-ing recently with the price hike..not getting enough return as I'm doing this part-time =s

Moved from Uber to grab 2 weeks ago. So far:

1. I no need chase trip count in grab. In Uber, i have to hit quest count 54 or 39 to get incentive. If i hit 53 only, i get no incentive. This is usually very stressful. Sometimes i have to force myself to drive until 2am to get 54 trips. I dare not cancel any trip no matter how stupid the rider is. I just swallow and accept the rider abuse to complete the trip. In grab, the incentive is based on hourly, AR, CR and rating. If cannot hit target, there is always the next hour.

2. The pickup distance in grab is usually less than 2km. In Uber, it is average 5km or more (even received 20km )

3. In grab, the app don't care what route you use, the fare is fixed. Rider cannot change drop off point midway. In Uber, the app calculate the distance traveled. If you used shortcut, the fare becomes lower because shorter distance. Rider can change drop off point any time and the fare recalculate to cheaper fare. Uber got upfront fare that rider agreed to pay when booking. The driver may get lower fare, Uber pocket the difference.

3. Grab got minimum fare like rm 4 or rm 5. Uber don't have. It depends on distance. Can be as low as rm 1.00 i think.

4. Grab fare is round up to ringgit. No need deal with coins. Uber fare is up to sen which is very confusing when 10 sen or 20 sen. Need to find change.

5. Grab fare is usually higher than Uber fare.

6. It is easier to get ping in grab than Uber. (More riders)

7. Myth : Uber got more civilised riders. Fact : both the same. Got good and bad riders. Just depend on your luck.

Hope this helps.

my experienced driving for half a year,
some of the rider think that they are the big boss who pay little money and want driver to wait for them more than 5 mins after a call to them since they not waiting at the pick up point.

i tried before 1 rider cancelled the trip saying i 'rude' to him just by i message him 'can you be fast as i already waited more than 5 mins' 

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

haha have to chill else what can I do? Uber never force anyone to drive for them right? If not happy, don't drive. Uber need us or we need Uber more? 

Yes, far more higher then grab..
I did received rm99 fare from kl sentral to genting.. around 8pm too..

it does bro. Just don't understand how their rating system work. Say only the rating based of last 500 trips. But I notice driver rating drop the moment 1 rider give a low star. And it takes tons of 5-star to get it back by 0.01. 

yup.. but deal with the same customer to wait for them.. pay at slightly higher at rm120 coz need to wait for 2 hours and at middle of the night

i use to care so much about my ratings. but after receiving a few low rating for no strong reason, meh, i got used to it d LOL. no point of paying so much attention to ratings, cash is my top priority
BTW, the higher acceptance rate we got, the easier for us to get riders right? i use to got 99% acceptance rate, back then getting a rider is as easy as 123, even at ulu places.

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? 

In my apps have shown CERTAIN guarantee fare per hourin different amlunt with different time with term n condition which require to fullfill. Last 2 weeks i got the guarantee amount, but last week i dont get it.

I thought unlike Grab, Uber used a queue system. Though this help due to as they said, a phone jammer.
