Not sure if it's just me.

I used to take GrabCar to work last 2 months, about few days a week thanks to the promotion.

From my area, before 9am is peak hour, fare is about RM8-9. After 9am, the fare is about RM5-6. But that's 2 months ago

Today raining, so I want to take Grab again but I was shock to found that the peak hour fare is RM14! The cost increase so much and much faster than government.

Is it just me or happen to many places? From my house (near Mid Valley) to my work place is about 5 min drive to bangsar south. This is getting more expensive than metered taxi

Not you alone but happen all places.

Since past few days been raining in the morning and it is peak hour, Grab and Uber fare will increase 50-100%

Like other days my home to workplace fare around RM20-25, but yesterday and today up to RM54!

Peak hour RM1.40 per km
Non-peak hour RM1.10 per km

Base fare RM1

Surcharge kick in when there is high demand at your area, as u said your house is nearby Midvalley, that area will be subjected to surcharge as well. Nowadays lesser driver on the road and count yourself lucky if manage to get one on time to your office.

i guess its the same timing, but this time around it was raining.
so become more peak. more people want to use grab when its raining.

furthermore, i heard from uber/grab drivers, they dont like to drive when it rains.

so more people wants to use uber/grab, but less uber/grab drivers. Of coz the price will hike.
