Some drivers had come to the conclusion that earning that rm5 cancellation fee is more worthy than actually fetching passenger themselves. True to some extent, I made some trips around 5 minutes and only get fares below rm5.
*
That's what happen when the fare is to dirt cheap and cheapskate tempang riders making it worse where drivers start to become tempang fish RM 5 cancellation fee lol.....
Sorry for the real genuine riders lol.....
Next time use grab la....

Its not cheap man, it will cost me MYR28 while grab was MYR29. So what? At least pick up the call or reply. Waste my time some more. Dont be ridiculous for 5 ringgit la. Who cheap now?
*
The fare is a lot cheaper compare to taxi....if the driver wish to fish the rm5 it's best not to accept and calls or reply tongue.gif
Drivers power yoooo don't like take taxi or mereput there la till a newbie picks u up lol.....

This is what I hate about this type of driver...there was a time I was at the airport requesting uber..then this driver called me and ask where is my destination..after he knew my destination, ask me to wait and said he is coming...saw his car in GPS already here, so waited him about almost 15 minutes still not coming...call him and he said his car breakdown and ask me to cancel....that time I already knew I will be charged rm5 no matter who cancel..then I went around to look for him and saw him driving off with a passenger(supposedly is grab passenger) coz my uber app yet to cancel... and I have no choice but to cancel and being charged rm5... straight report to uber and I believe he is now being banned for good....this type of driver is causing the community bad reputation..

Nahhh....the case is too trivial for the driver to be suspended for good....
Not to mention Uber is losing drivers

I guess too many badass drivers like me  laugh.gif swipe arrived +/- 5 min before actual arrival, then, once reach, don't see rider, sms no reply, straight click "rider no show"....then, wait little further, for request again.

Still remember the apps ask me "Are you sure you arrived pick up location?" when the gps signal detect I have not reach yet  laugh.gif I insist swipe yes...even though got dunno what fine print say u will get suspended lah, etc......never happen also until I decide to self-suspend  laugh.gif

but i heard for this case Uber will refund the cancellation fee to the rider is it's confirm abuse by badass drivers like you and me weY.... hmm.gif
so far all cancellation fee i got it la not sure about you rclxs0.gif

Uber driver's dilemma. Normal trips without surge is charity drive. Surge trips, kena one star. Do u die, dont do u oso die.

I don't understand why do die le? If surge, rider have option to book or don't book only mAh
If booked during surge, expect to pay more la, why wanna take it to the driver WTF eh....

As I know....Uber will not increase their fare....only reduce to attract more riders.
Can't believe there are ppl.still drive for them lol...
With grab increase the fare, I noticed it's harder to to get a ping, probably all went to Uber

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
*
Cyberjaya all these while morning very hard to get ping, today i tried puchong also not easy to get le...previously still easy probably due to fare increase bangwall.gif

QUOTE(2feidei @ Nov 21 2017, 08:42 PM)
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

Hi al. Newbie from Johor. 2 mth driving and really feeling shitty. Shortestever trip after 5km pick up a freaking 200m...!!!
Farthest pick up 22km for a 1.2km trip. As per Uber, drivers are partners. Any partnership profit n lost is shared. Uber wise, they know if trip is good or bad yet the send drivers on a kamikaze. What a partnershp !!!!

i not sure if wanna laugh or pity you weY.....not to bash Uber but i drive Grab 5km pickup i also won't go whistling.gif

Oops. What I meant is, the Grab job is RM28 fare, 20+km from pickup to dropoff.

For the other guy's case, he drive 22km to go pickup passenger, Uber only give him RM2 for driving that distance... Omg...
*
Yes....for your case is probably Waze took you to the fastest route and off peak fare cheaper , better than drive more than 20km to pick up your passenger

got, but, very seldom, maybe 1 in 3 months kua...... laugh.gif

my suggestion, or my trick when receiving request from condo, I will message rider their block or lot number before even I start driving there. Then, only they reply I will start my journey. When almost reach (~5 min before), I will swipe arrived, so, I no need to wait for too long, most of riders are divas, arrived only start wearing shoe, come out, lock door, wait for life, etc, etc.....easily 10-20 min wait.

Of course, you can click cancel after 5 min, but, then, what pissed off 4:59 min, they appear  doh.gif

So, rather than I wait, better they wait.....they think their time important, ours not meh?
*
i'll suggest when timer reach 4mins start to locked your car door drive away further then cancelled the trips after 5mins whistling.gif
