maybe grab should prioritize those who been doing normal pickups and not just aiming for airport trips, when reaching landslide will be pushed to the front of Q and those only camp at klia or selectively pick klia jobs in KV will be pushed to the back of Q regardless of how long they been waiting there. this way it will help KL drivers who always skip klia jobs to accept and not worry of the overly long Q. this might not work but just an idea to be fair to normal drivers.

That's exactly what I suggested a few weeks ago. And after that got the whole "queue bocor" issue. Then those klia "specialist" complain a lot. I guess they fixed it already?

MEHDA said current taxi PSV not suitable for Grab. So don't get cheated by driving schools.

I picked up many PRC before.

One time (still driving Uber then) a PRC lady wanted to go to TBS, but wrongly set the destination as KL Sentral doh.gif

But other than this, mostly OK.

Uber don't need to worry so much if wrong destination. Just fetch go and click drop off. Uber not so rigid like Grab.

Driving is a way of earnings only in cities like New York City and San Francisco where the rates are favorable with big bonus of tipping for the service. But met a New Yorker who was ex taxi man where he turned Uber man now because the golden days of taxi is long gone. He used to make USD 300 on weekdays. And that doesnt include tipping which is at least 10 to 20% of the fare. 

Limo service might even be better as the tipping can be great. Usually USD 50 to USD 100 per ride i.e. from Atlantic City to New York City in couple of hours. That's  not the fare but tips. High rollers gets free rides or flights from the casinos.

It's true what the critics said. The e-hailing industry has broken many rice bowls by undercutting everyone like crazy. Now Grab is stuck in the hole it dug for itself. Fare too high = less demand. Somehow still got drivers willing to drive MyCar or other platforms for lower fares. Fare too low = they have to pay incentives otherwise not enough drivers.

I'm not supporting those cut throat taxi drivers, but now even when taxis use their meters, people prefer to take GrabCar or MyCar, etc. Because cheap. Cheap cheap cheap.. Pipu wan everything cheap...

I waived a taxi that was available at the road side. Because frustrated as no driver picking up the ping and i believe the fare will go up higher as the resort to get drivers and this make it no difference than hailing an available taxi on the road. Just that i missed the grab points...tongue.gif

No.. Why u already in the taxi but u still booking GrabCar?

I dont mind paying a bit higher as long as got the service to take me home on time n dont make me wait wait wait n wait. Even if grab fare higher than taxi, i will still support grab as taxi is the least preffered type of transport due to the bad image of not using meters etc. Once i ordered a taxi n i paid him rm10 tips on top of the fare after i reached home, i asked him to give me some blank receipts, that taxi driver gave me 2 receipts n i asked few more la. He said rm5 for 1 piece of receipt. Those receipt are just a small chits only. Now grab car got email me official receipts after each trip which is good.

Adeh.. Sohai taxi driver..

But still, what is the plan of the e-hailing industry? Keep undercutting each other?

Driverless cars? With the recent setbacks i think still a long way to go for driverless cars. So keep burning investors money? Small companies like MyCar probably can't invest in driverless tech. And probably a giant company like Google will conquer the driverless segment.

i hate it when passengers just simply pin a location wherever. today kena 2 pin locations, 1 on a ramp to asia jaya, 2 klcc traffic lights. damn stupid

Grab app sucks at getting passenger's accurate location. And passengers don't bother to check before booking. Sometimes can't blame them also. They might not be familiar of the area so they rely on the app.. But Grab is not reliable at all...

I've switched from Waze to Gmaps since last week and my distance has been noticably shorter and no more clocking crazy mileage.

But I have to say one thing about Maps, at least through my experience, if it's one of those places that you're not familiar with, perhaps Waze is the better choice. Sometimes Maps can be so simple that you have no idea whether you're in the correct lane or not, like today how I stayed in the wrong lane because the map was kind of confusing but it was a blessing in disguise because I accidentally avoided a massive traffic jam in KL hahaha 😂
*
GMaps actually has lane guidance. I don't know why Waze don't have?
