It's time to look for something else to do rather than drive with crap.
I burnt my HG incentive this week because of high CR and low ar. Then I decided to switch to flexi and then try out other things. Plan to quit crap by next year before the new e hailing law enforce.  I don't have high expectations on crap to help us out with the new law.

If you got good idea for other income do let me know 🙏

Since crap promises to increase the base fare at peak hour, HG drivers could just switch to flexi mode and accept small medium fare job with High Price tag or very big fare job only.

If majority of drivers do not on AA, then the priority of orders will no longer matters hence level the play ground among us.

Flexi AR requirement is now 85%. Not that we can be choosy.

Who wants to burn more money in this money burning industry? Lai lai lai...

I think big investors will only come in when driverless technology becomes feasible. Uber faced setbacks with their tech and Grab diam2 only. Probably Google will be the first to achieve it then they will burn money to expand their driverless business around the world. Or license out their tech to Uber and Grab. When that time comes, bye2 human drivers...

Grab is working with Nutonomy in Singapore on driverless technology.

I said this before, Grab (and Uber at that time) should keep the fare and driver incentives reasonable, while generate auxiliary income from ads or other sources.

This is the change I would like to see in Driver app. If Grab staff are here hopefully they are relay the message to their software development team.

Normally I enable b2b, and navigate with Waze. When a new ping comes in, the Grab app pushes Waze into background.
I take a quick look at the job info, accept it, and manually switch back to Waze.

But now many of us have enabled AA. There is no longer a need to look at the job info. Ideally, the new job should just appear as a notification on top of the display, without blocking Waze.

It is cumbersome to switch between apps...

Kepong is quite far from the other 2 places wor unsure.gif

If you are in Sri Petaling, go over to Bukit Jalil. You may get short trips ferrying APU students.

Many things happened today...

It was a GS job. I picked a tourist couple from a hotel. They had many luggage.
Then crap found me a matching job. The rider barely fit into my little car...

Was thinking of canceling the second job. But then crap would find me another matching rider. So just took it lah...

= = =

Was ferrying a Pinoy when I was stopped by a police.
My rider produced his passport. The officer asked him, "what is your name?", "What is your date of birth?"
The Pinoy answered the questions correctly. The police then let us go...

= = =

I was at Serdang Raya when I got a ping. The rider was at APU new campus in TPM (Technology Park Malaysia).
Waze told me to go through the main gate. I was perplexed, because it would be shorter to go through the side gate near Standard Chartered.
I decided not to follow Waze's route.
Big mistake. TPM's side gate was closed on Sunday.
Since this was a GS job, I just touched the Cancel button...

Hi, I'm a new grab driver only did 1 trip because when I got the address and clicked on the navigation icon beside it my waze opened but without the address destination entered in. I have linked waze as my navigation in the grab driver app. Do i have to manually enter the address?
Is this fixable? How do i go about it. I am too worried to accept jobs if my navigation doesnt work. Any suggestions?
*
Sometimes Waze or the mobile network is slow, need to click a few times.
What network are you on?

I'm with digi. I did go back to the grab driver app and reclicked the navigation arrow a few times though I didn't shut down waze
*
I use U Mobile, can't comment about Digi. Try again at another location.

Once you fix the issue, here is one thing you need to be careful:
When you switch from Waze to Grab and back, for unknown reason, Grab will send past address to Waze.
Do not click Go. Just click Re-center to ignore it.

another con man job by crapcar

was in sri petaling. so set my destination (SD) to bukit jalil. very near, i think distance only 3km. i though can get ppl going to lrt bukit jalil is good enuf.

waited 20 minutes. no ping. ok, then i tried on AA. also set the same SD

wtf, come out ping within 3 seconds, but is going to Bedford business Park (opposite Pearl point).

crapcar really set me up. my original destination is just 3km, now after drop-off, i have to travel 6.8km to my destination....

that is the conman job that claim wanted to help driver... pui ....

crapcar know as long as u are on AA, high chance u will accept it without cancel. so crapcar can simply assign u any job even though is not relevant to your destination....
*
Sri Petaling and Bukit Jalil so near also SD?
Only SD if distance is more than 10km lah...

I prefer to use time taken to measure the trip is worthy or not....20 mins for rm25 or 40 mins for rm25 etc.
more meaningful

Not particular to the case above...
Sometimes non-toll route maybe slower by a few minutes only, but is also shorter compared to toll route. In those cases I may choose the non-toll route. Help the riders save money also.

However, during rush hours ETA of non-toll route is less predicted. It is better to stick to tolled ones.

Yesterday got 2 trips rider use pin location, both also pin location not match with the exact pick up location, both rider must assume i go to wrong place, today my DR drop like hell. Driver have to accept the blame despite is the crap system problem, the rider can't even type a proper address and act smart using crap pin location. Today also receive a pin location, i straight go to pin location and wait, and i won't move a inch cause wrong pin location again, either the rider cancel the trip or i cancel under passenger no show, no more mr nice guy.
*
Last time I got one rider use pin location. I called him to confirm location. Managed to find him. But the exact location was like 2km away.

After picking up the rider, I explained to him the issue with pin location, and asked him not to use it anymore.

Never receive that , I learn 3s rule ( actually not 3s , but forget what d ) , from Lorry lisence

Like take a point like LightPole , when the front car pass , you start count 1-2-3 then you car reach the light pole , if you reach before 3s then you are too near. I think only applicable for high speed.( that was lorry )
*
What I learned last time was:
If you are driving at 30mph (50kph), leave a 3-cars space
50mph (80kph) - 5 cars space

5km turn back is based on Waze estimation?


Waze tells us to make u-turn only when it is explicitly allowed. Sometimes you can make u-turn at places without proper u-turn sign, which makes the distance a lot shorter.

No need to be so paranoid.
There are so many crap drivers, only a small fraction is in this forum.
Full timers only get a few KLIA trips per week; part timers maybe none in a week.

If I drop off a rider in KL, do you think I will drive all the way to your secret location and cause you to lose business?
