Didi, China’s top ride-hailing app, lost US$590 million in the first six months of 2018

https://www.techinasia.com/didi-losses-2018

The report in Chinese states that the losses stem mainly from “subsidies for both riders and drivers, as well as rewards for drivers.”

so we know what grab is doing now - eliminating incentive in due time, many claimed in fb being kicked out incentive scheme into flexi by hidden rule (high CR during peak hour) whereby they do not spell this while launching AA only for incentive...
*
As I mentioned many times before, Grab needs to generate auxiliary income. Only then can it keep the price and incentives attractive.

Indeed Grab is doing this. If you have installed rider app on your phone, you are probably aware that Grab sends you notification everyday. That is a form of advertisement.

Grab is also promoting Grabpay. However, with so many e-payment players in the market, it will be tough for Grabpay to be widely accepted, beyond its own e-hailing and Grab Eats business.

All in all, I think it will be a long way to profitability for Grab.

And, if Grab can't be profitable, Mycar probably can't survive.

They really killing flexi drivers, first auto accept with priority job allocation now ignore job got time out doh.gif
*
Last time Uber also like that: ignore 3 jobs got suspended for 5 minutes.
But as drivers jumped ship to crap, Uber scrapped this rule.

But seriously, it is better to not accept, than cancel after acceptance.

Today I became a crap rider.

The car was already 12 years, but still look new. The driver told me he joined crap long ago, when requirements were not so stringen. Even until now crap, still allowed him to use this car.

He then taught me how to maintain car. One trick: wash with kerosene.

If u see LRT/MRT/KTM or any hotspot like TBS, KL sentral.. most car stop in 1 stop wait for job.

Seriously, do you guys drive a few km to camp at hotspots?

I don't. I just wait at wherever I dropped off the last rider. Unless it's an ulu place with low demand, then I have to get back to civilization.

Hey all. New Grab Driver reporting in. Or as some people call it... fresh meat. Or slave to the crap god. Resigned from my job and trying to generate enough income from Grab just to cover my monthly obligations. I must say it's quite thrilling for a beginner.

Just a quick question about something that someone touched upon:

Credit. Must have RM10 minimum to get jobs? What happens when it's below RM10?

And how do you top this up. I only see an option to transfer from Grab Wallet. And Grab Wallet can transfer to my bank. Don't see any option that I know of from the Grab Driver app. Can someone tell me how do I do this? Thank you.
*
Not RM20 in credit wallet to start?
But once started, and if you don't go offline, can still get job if credit is below RM20.

Waze or Android MIUI cannot look for the location of the pickup or drop off. i have to manually key in sometimes, Especially with housing area. With IOS i never fail looking up their pup or drop off location.Not sure on Samsung Android as i have not use it before with grab and waze.

Also there is alot of the time also the server is not available for waze on android. Never got this problem on IOS
*
Don't know what you mean by 'look for location'. But I am curious if Waze has separate server for Android and iOS.

Crap expect you to proactively report lost items, but sometimes we just aren't aware.

So what can you do? Go to the office to explain?

Heck, I use a second phone for Grab, and would normally switch it off when I am not online.
Grab should keep record of our other number, or try to contact us via email.

Every day I see you guys complaining about crap ill-treats drivers.

If you are so unhappy, it's time to look for another job.

In fact, I have already got a full time job. I still drive crap occasionally, but I don't set a target of how much I need to earn.

To me, the fund of crapping lies in:
- meeting people
- I go to places which I otherwise would not think of going.

Not many people can have your kind of luxury to meet people with fund crapping.
flex.gif

It is a cheap hobby to meet hotties to sit beside you. And they paying you. Wawawee.......  whistling.gif

But many grabbers are doing this crappy job to have an sustainable income. Some says they dun have enough dough to meet ends meet , others thought they can bring bacon home. A few said they just lost thier job and just looking for source of income. hmm.gif

I believe it is a stressful job doing this crappy driving where you are risked of not making enuf monies minus the actual expenses after all costing from servicing, installment, amortization. Worse, the accumulation of stress might not be enough for stress related medical bills like getting a stroke or heart failure.  shocking.gif  bangwall.gif  rclxub.gif

It is a crappy tales of two cities....... I used to be in the Hell Kitchen for a decade , now I am happy like a frog singing in the rain... grabbing hotties all nite long.  rclxm9.gif

I lost my job before I joined Uber, and later crap. I didn't have the luxury you mentioned. To me, earning from crap is not great, but better than none. It also kept me from being idle.

But I know many people resigned from their job voluntarily to join crap. They expect earning from crap to match their previous jobs, with the added benefit of flexible working times. Their expectations have been wrong from day 1.

These people, if they're not happy with crap's policies, should just look for other jobs.

I’m just a part time driver but really pity all my full time friends whom I met whilst doing Grab. Their commission keeps getting smaller and also being forced to use Auto accept. There needs to be another big company to challenge Grab’s position or they will keep squeezing the drivers. Heard rumours the reason why Grab was able to expand so fast was because the Najib family is one of the majority shareholders. Any truth?

Forget about fake news.
The reason Grab could beat Uber was because of finding from Softbank.
