You guys can download the apps and try to get the estimate fare to KLIA. So expensive and that is the estimated price. Will add rm5-10 if there is jam etc. Habis...

15 minutes ride to my office now costs rm9. previously only rm6.

i have no choice so i still have to take it.

so i dont agree with people saying let the market decide. because it is unfair. users did not have choice. drivers also dont have choice.

market can only be decider if there is fair competition. now its only monopoly.

Monopoly is part of market condition which influences the price.

But it's not a monopoly with Uber gone. There is still the regular taxi. If Grab price rise too high people will go back to taxis.

If you feel that RM9 is unfair then take a taxi.

that is a very irresponsible attitude.

if my place dont have taxi, then what is my choice?

that is like saying if chicken is too expensive, dont buy chicken, but buy kangkung coz it has no GST.

"let the market decide" only benefits the operator.

for example, car price is too high. i cant afford a car. yes i dont have a choice. but is the Bas Mini around? if Bas Mini is around, i will take Bas Mini !

before grab n uber exist what do u use? well use back them its simple as that

U have to understand E hailing are not public transport, we re not subsidize by government

The pricing in them is base on DEMAND n SUPPLY , we re not ur LRT/KTM/MRT or mini bus

if u dont want high price, book early.
if price still high wait demand lower only book.

In old day, i either walked to a nearest main road (0.5 - 1km away) and wait there for a taxi, or call a taxi company to send a taxi to my door step.

Btw did u ever take bus mini or not? Ever heard how the infamous bus conductor yelled at u 'Masuk! Masuk! Masuk lagi!'?

Grab has Grab taxi, subject to additional RM2 additional charge and follow by meter.

If u don't like then u have Ezcab, mostly taxi and some car.

If u don't like then u have Mycar, mostly car.

10 years ago i was studying in Klang Valley, the public transport is much more horrible than now, the only public transport i have is Bus. LRT extension and MRT does not exist yet.

Bus mini is horrible, i once saw a passenger fly out from the door because the door isn't open and the driver turning in fast. Those bus are profit seeker and don't care much of your safety. Anyway i see now in Selangor also got freebus call Selangorku.

If u running out of option, then maybe your staying place is too far away and consider move to places where public transport easily available.

As i said in previous post, Grab is a profit seeking organization, rider now only realize how expensive is it after they remove the subsidies on rider.

It still reasonable to me but the price during surge seems too expensive. Almost double the normal price.

When the ride is expensive u rate the driver 1star... Now how the rider relate 1star to driver bcos of the price, I kenot brain at all... U wanna complain, complain to GRAB please. Do not take it out on the drivers especially for us drivers that safely brought you to your destination with no problem at all... innocent.gif

The older days... you rate lahh ur mini bus, mega bus, lrt, mrt, taxis.... see if anything can be done to improve. Whatever price you paid... We provide the service... If it too expensive... do not book it or worse, book it then penalize the innocent driver... PLease act maturely. rolleyes.gif

The expensive surge happen bcos you wanna ride in that specific hour... You no request, driver no ping in, surge go down and problem solve... flex.gif

If you think Grab monopoly is bad for riders, It will be bad for us drivers too... Please support another ehailing company so that they can be a rival to Grab. notworthy.gif

Rider complain fare too expensive.

Driver complain fare too cheap.

The solution is - rider go buy own car and know for yourself what is really expensive.

Or go back to taxi or other public transport if you think that's cheaper.

Why rider don't complain when driver only get RM5-RM10 fare for being stuck in jam for 1 hour or more? You know after deduct 25% commission, driver left with how much?

Last time everybody complain taxi didn't use meter. Now taxi use meter also nobody want. Why? Because all want cheap only.
