Where's the democracy ? My post got reported and missing.

Anyway, F this Uber.

Was at Mutiara Damansara just now wanted to go to the Mcds Drive Through and pack lunch. Then ping came in and sent me all the way to Puchong.

Bugger this Uber, game 9 me don't let me have lunch purposely, if I get stomach ulcer I will sue them. Don't think the RM30 fare very big o, my health is more important.

Going to stop soon if they always game me like that don't let me pack McDonald's.

I was being sarcastic la. I thought it's mandatory to be complaining about something everyday.

Anyway will leave you guys to it.

All this promo codes really turning a lot of people into tempang.

I wonder what's the thinking behind always providing all this free rides. My only answer is that is gives a false income to jack up their revenue. And all this promo cost parked under Marketing cost.

All this promo really screws up the earning. The income is not organic anymore. All the tempang dilutes all the serious normal Uber users.

What are you guys thoughts on this ?

For part timers, yeah I guess the upside is can easily finish the quest.

For full timers, the quest sure to be able to hit wan, so it's not of much help.

But no choice, things we can't control.

These are not organic income.

As a full time driver, I rather no promo code and I get normal riders everyday. No surge also it's ok.

Promo codes create a very false market. You are very busy, but getting all the short trips. Yes it creates a surge, but again, short trips so not very apparent.

What it causes is this high surge will deter the normal Uber users. So what you get is a very luck based once in a while rider who will take a high surge long trip.

This makes it very luck based, not organic .

I picked up their Marketing guys before from their office at Bukit Pantai and I told them the same.

Your marketing sucks.

I asked them about their conversion of users who only uses promo code to become regular users and they told me it's very low.

I would think a more proper promotion (being a Marketing guy myself) is every trip you take and pay more than RM5 we will give you a free trip worth RM5 up to a limit of say 10 in a week during promotion period.

Woi, sure or not + RM8 per trip. Highest I know also it's RM210 for 54 trips.

Yesterday evening rush hour, a queue came in and stated Long Trip (40+ mins), and at 2.7x surge. I thought, ho sei liao, thought airport.

Mana tau Amcorp Mall to Kota Damansara. One hour jam to go the 18km distance.

But still ok la, gross fare was RM50+. One hours work.
