The Grab minimum fare has gone up to RM5 in Klang Valley. So short trips are definitely more expensive now

Grab I have noticed is also getting more expensive. Especially during peak hours, the prices can spike up ridiculously. Especially if I compare it to uber nowadays, I've found that uber is cheaper. And plus on top of the price difference, they offer so many promo codes constantly which gives you an extra discount becoming even cheaper.

But what I do like about Grab is that they offer the service of grab share. It can be convenient for a longer commute for a lesser price.

but drivers will find the other way

sometimes i see the pick up distance and will vomit blood

if rider think fare is expensive, please use alternative at that particular time
if driver think dare is dam cheap, just stop driving at that particular time

Let laws of supply and demand prevail !

If too expensive...don't demand for it. Let Grab realize it and drop price.

As for drivers, if too cheap...don't drive. Go back home to the bussom of our wive and kids.

The only reason why its becoming expensive is because there are those that are willing to pay. As for drivers compensation, we too feel its getting not worth it, but there will always be new drivers keen to take passengers despite the low margins.

Let the market decide

Exactly, if too expensive, don't die die must request for it then complain, complain expensive but driver not professional lar, complain car dirty lar, complain driver pickup slow lar, complain driver far away lar, there are always alternative around.

Same goes for driver, if feel fare to cheap, pickup distance too far, driving too stress, then don't die die wanna drive then complain rider not considerate lar, cheap fare but rider expect good service lar, car dirty lar. Even wanna complain just go complain to Grab, not take it out on rider. If Grab tak layan then nobody is forcing you to drive for them, there's always alternative way to generate income.

Last year back then i was saying Grab sure find ways to make it profitable, impossible everyday give u promo and losing money.

Now it seems everybody is complaining, u must understand there is not much driver available on peak hour especially in high demand, look around your area, there is some other people fighting with u going back home too. This of course will churn up demand and cause massive surcharge.

Grab is really cutting throat now. Very expensive when going to KLIA. Rm140-150 from country homes. If from airport is rm150-160++. Normal hours. Please compare price before proceed to Grab. After Uber is gone, they increase the price like no mother care. Haha
