Uber system will only overwrite the upfront fare is drivers used different route that the system expected route. It was not so sensitive to the times we spend on road.

Anyway, the other reason I dislike to driving on peak hours such as 5-7 pm was due to possibly displinary action from grab car if riders cancellation is too high due to we stuck in the non moving jam and pick up points was far away so more.

yesterday I pick up one Toyota sales guy.

He told me my future car resell value will be very low due to high mileage.

My question is that other than petrol and maintenance that we can claim for deduction in our LHDN tax return, can we include our car depreciation as well?

If can, how to estimate my car the depreciation value?

They only respond to the rider impolite and abusive remarks. More like standard template reply which I doubt they were really do something about it.

Just file our tax return online before the deadline next year.

Depends on your luck, timing and locations.

You can occasionally feel like the system try to fool you when stuck in jam with no or little TB.

They give away some freebies such as MBO movie tickets last time. No harm to go if this is your first time.

they never announced before the the TT that they would give away any freebies in last tt that I attended.

I only knew it once I arrived at the venue and MBO tickets were given away after we registered our attendance.

Someone light refreshment, i.e simple mee goring were provided.

It provided me an opportunity to socialize with other drivers and I get to know one of the senior who later invited to his WhatsApp group. On and off we still share grabcar related matters in this group although the group was now not very active.

And also we get to know issues that affect our drivers career based on the questions raised by drivers although the answers given by grab staff were kind of disappointing.

I would said no harm to attend but it is entirely up to u.

By the way, I refer to the last TT I received free MBO tickets

If this sat TT, there is no freebies, don’t curse me.

GRAB Malaysia is expected to provide financial assistance to its drivers who are struggling to meet the requirements that are part of the government’s regulation exercise for the e-hailing industry.

Grab Malaysia country head Sean Goh (picture) said while the total cost might not add up for the company, it is necessary for the company to support its drivers who are mainly part-timers that cannot afford the whole amount at one go.

“About 80% of our drivers are part-timers. From what we’ve seen, it’ll cost about RM200 for the training modules, while medical and car inspections would be about RM60. Insurance alone will amount to about RM400 and there’s more.

“I know some drivers won’t be able to fork out RM700 or RM800 for that cost upfront,” he told The Malaysian Reserve at a media briefing in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

Goh said the new regulations are expected to add cost to the system, and through time, the process might just cause friction among the drivers.

He assured that Grab will be assisting its drivers to go through the processes as smoothly as possible with minimal issues.

“For drivers who have hit certain milestones and have contributed to Grab with strong ratings, we will look at various ways we can help.

“We are committed to helping our drivers, they are our biggest stakeholders. We have not finalised how much we will invest until we know for sure the processes that will be needed,” Goh said.

He said the company will begin the process as soon as the relevant authorities announce the terms and conditions.

“We know the cut off date is July 12, 2019, but I can tell you none of the processes have started yet and details have not been fully released.

“We have been and are in contact with the Ministry of Transport (MoT) and the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD),” he said.

According to Goh, the drop-off rate for drivers will be affected significantly, but Grab will strive to get everyone across with no hassle.

“Where we land will depend on how smoothly we can help transit our drivers. The possibility of losing drivers is there — maybe 20% or 30%, some have even said 70%.

“It is sad because this will ultimately tax the system and lead to a lower availability of drivers and higher fares for passengers,” he said.

On ride prices, Goh said there have been no increases so far, despite the perception that fares have spiked after the company’s merger with Uber.

“It was a misconception that we increased fares. We’ve looked at comparisons including after the merger that took place in April.

“In July, Malaysians celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri, which led to a shortage of drivers, so naturally, prices went up. Now, we are concerned that regulatory processes will drive prices upwards, but we will try and mitigate it,” Goh said.

He added that Grab currently invests much in incentives for drivers and will continue to do so for the coming year.

“We constantly try to ensure that drivers are at the right places at the right hours, so that they can earn more. The commision taken is still 20% to 25% and we will keep it that way for now,” he said.

One of the concerns that Grab has today is the concept of drivers cherry-picking their rides.

Goh said some drivers tend to see some rides as more beneficial to others and will not accept bookings.

“For these drivers, we take a 25% commission to deter them from cherry-picking. It affects the whole system when drivers choose their rides because passengers end up waiting longer and drivers would have to go further distances to pick them up.

“But for the majority, we take a 20% commission,” Goh said.

He added that removing the ability for drivers to see the end destination will not be fair to the those who are currently diligent and responsible in accepting rides.

“Some apps like Uber allow passengers to not specify where they are going, but we have spoken to our drivers and taken into consideration what they want, which is to see the destination. And we want to honour that.”

Goh said Grab has many plans for 2019, including upping safety options for drivers and passengers.

He said currently, drivers are all verified but they will look into the use of advanced technologies like facial recognition to identify and verify passengers as well.

“Its something very new we are looking into, but we want both drivers and passengers to feel safe at all times.”

Goh said the company will not create any gender-specific service for females as it believes that its service are safe and reliable

I have one MD trip with TB RM2.00 recently.

But again, when we off AA we might get trip with additional bonus. Usually those non AA trip with bonus not so nice to do, such as long pick up etc.

Need to test it out to confirm

A lot of drivers online today due to free RM100 credit on the wallets.

Only available to selective drivers. No 100% sure about grab internal creteria.

Yet we can’t be certain on the drivers availability on Monday and Tuesday.

Also whether there are sufficient no of drivers in the drivers nightmare areas such as klcc and pavilion?

and do these drivers mostly on AA? Accept most trips including Ikan bilis jobs?

I know someone who get suspension and need to go for re-education class. But in his case was too much, complete one job and only top up to the min RM10 > half hours later. Likely done this multiple times until grab office detect it.

So, you were lucky I should said.

Don’t said low tech.

I also know another drivers when I was a rider who used same trick 2 months ago and he teach me this trick after knowing I am driver as well. Till now his account still ok. Tell you all also never mind since grab no longer offer HG.

TB incentive system is fairer to all drivers.
