Most riders would not wanna mess up with majority of taxi drivers.

But grab or e hailing drivers different cerita. Been picked up by lady drivers even late at nights. And many drivers are driving fancy cars without taxi logo. Chances of robbing taxi and used it for getaway or resale is minimal.

The most significant of law and order is that the riders must be registered for e hailing. This would ensure safety for the drivers. Now Grab would have to adhere.....

E hailing is a great conceptual platform for both drivers and riders.

The drivers get to have the supplementary income and Hawaii Five Os' get to go around picking riders to send them to thier homes and designations safe and sound. This is constructive as a service to the community.

The riders gets to choose to be picked up at thier convenience at homes or offices and select the car and drivers according to thier preference and perception of service. In the Uber apps, the drivers profiles and comments by satisfied riders are ways and means way to gauge where the photo is insufficient unless ypu are expert in profiling or feng shui face reading. The apps sharing location is a great feature for extra safety measures to know where the riders are being heading or taken to.

The true e hailing platform where both riders and drivers can gauge which one should be picked and reject rides if they are not comfortable with the information available on the apps. Both drivers and riders would be at thier best behavior when they are rated and with records being shown, Otherwise, either they are rejected as a driver because they are incompetent as a driver or rejected as a rider because they are been racist, abusive and misbehaved by thrashing the car.

E hailing idea was conceived because of Taxi abuses by some drivers from overcharging , not using meters, not going too far or too near designations, dirty conditions and dangerous driving.

The question of higher pricing for private e hailing cars should not arise. if you wanna cheaper fares, take a taxi. Wanna cheaper mode of transport , take a bus. Wanna to save ? Take a Walkswagon with your pair of legs.

AR CR is immaterial. Heck , even the incentives is questionable. It should be straight forward with estimated fares shown to both drivers and riders. Fixed rates is not fair where there are conditions like jams , road blocks or accidents which is not fair to the drivers which they have to detour or spending wasting thier time and gas. And price surging is fair considering demand and supply economics.

The e hailing platform is based on willing drivers and willing riders.

Many drivers are doing to supplement extra income and there are those who wanna shiok cruising around in thier spare time. Smarter obes would just wanna to pick up riders OTW to work from the homes and vice versa.

The extra costing and time would means many would stop grabbing riders in thier spare time.

Penny wise Pound foolish

Genting Highland request is hard unless the riders who go up make money. Otherwise, they would be taking bus home.

Punters go up like dragon hero, come back like dead worm.

I like to go up the hills since it is a paid trip to get the cool breeze especially during these hot and humid days in Klang Valley. In fact, I was there yesterday spending hours without a ping before returning back home at 9 pm.

Gomen dept better where you get response especially in black and white. Crap where it never reply to my complaints or inquiries in my email.

Dun Worry , be Happy.......

This is my cooking story where I would stir fry my riders who are abusive, rude or unreasonable. Always try to maintain your responsibility as a driver to get to the designation safe and sound for yourself and the riders as the rule of the thumb.

My rating dropped to as low as 4.66 since I become a Grabber from Uberman. But as my rides increase in numbers and days, it average out to 4.98 today.

Using Honda HRV as Uberman but now using Exora NGV as Grabber. Less worry about petrol cost and more costly in service and parts replacement of wear and tear in Nippon rising sun model. My tyre cost is halved in cost from thousands in 4's after turning botak.

Aint worry about incentive because it is no use to chase it where it gives you heart failure with stress eventually. I am a mean olde chef who enjoy cruising around whenever I got mood to drive. It can be early morning at 2 am to 5 am or at night time 8 pm to 11 pm.

Being a " taxi driver " is IMHO not a good way to Cari Makan. Future prospect is only good if you keen to know the Klang Valley route like me where it helped me to be an expert on traffic flows , in and out traffic and activities. As chef owner, I dun get to go anywhere and if I do I often got lost in traffic or location translation. So I am happy like a frog jumping in the rain if I am driving unless it is on a humid day with real hot jam in Federal Highway and LDP. Katak dun like to jump into Sungai Besi hot pan.

Pelik tapi benar, just today had a driver who was ex grabber. After a year, he fired himself and became a personal driver. He had a detailed record of his income and expenses. This Malay ended up saying tarak untung and not worth it especially it did not account for his medical expenses if he ended up in Institut Jantung Negara because of stress in driving for fares and incentive. Holidays means no income and there is no paid leave or medical chit as well as bonus or EPF. His other friend also become a bus driver ferrying school children because tarak untung to grab riders.

Most of all, Be Happy and Safe in driving. And dun forget to sit too long without exercise and rest. You might get DVT and eventually stroke and sudden cardiac arrest.

From ex cook with previous medical detailing, record in law and order.

Be proactive before grabbing riders. Assess the risks before you unlock the door to pick the riders especially those with funny nicks like "God" or "Satan". If sense trouble , drive to the nearest police station or public place full of people. In case of emergence, forced the car into minor accident to create attention and the chance to run for safety.

I made a complaint where the rider do not have the money to pay fare two weeks ago. Yet to receive any sort of reply and response from Grab CS.

Reach designation with waze voice confirmation and right in front of small hotel lobby to PUP. But kenot cancel without affecting the cancellation rate. Call also no answer. Then cancelled and got the same rider again. WTF.

GG?

Red card for Grab for gaming on me.

My rider asked me to do an illegal U turn. they kena from me. Told him straight up if he cannot afford to pay the Saman RM 300, dun try to tell the drivers how to drive. And dun try to argue with me , because I am ex enforcement officer. Traffic law and order is there for a reason. I lodged the complaint with Uber and they assured me action would be taken against the rider.

2 days ago, a rider asked me to U turn at the traffic light. Told him unless he wanna to kill someone who is coming straight from the traffic light, he can drive that way. After explaining him the ongoing traffic which is green arrow , he understood the rules of engagement. he was not mad but glad where he is been enlightened.

As for you who seem ungrateful to the kind Auntie who was giving free advice for your own safety. I hope you dun get into trouble with your selfish attitude.

It was not so lucky for an Indian Auntie at the SJKC where I asked her to move her cars because she was blocking the traffic by parking at the fourth lane with just 1 lane for other cars to pass . She said Cannot ah? I said " you can be selfish but I can your your selfie to JPJ head enforcement at Gombak who happened to be my classmate." I took my camera and started filming to see others driving away by leaving 3 lanes free to pass. And the next day, cops from my neigbourhood were seen giving summons at that school compound.

I am glad you have had been enlightened a fair bit where you have had give credit to that kind Auntie.

Safety first because if there is any accident, there are consequences.

Minor accident will means couple of hours to sort out minor repairs where major accident might months or lives. it also means from saman to car in the workshop for days or months. A lorry banged my Honda HRV bum where it takes 1 month for the stock replacement for backside job and broken lights where it is just the left side. Total costing - RM12,000K. Even the backyard damage control is at least RM 6500.

Luckily I was able to convinced the insurance executive to speed up the claim process by just sending to the workshop and sign. Otherwise Ma Ling Fang. Even then, the trouble of waiting and sending for 3 days in the workshop.

And got no chance to pick up hotties. Cannot be Uberman without my horsepower.

Imagine for those who are driving to Cari Makan without the horsepower? Picture that kind of no paid leave and crappy support you gonna to get. And depending the severity of the accident, the costing of payable saman and time for court summon for serious case?

If your Auntie is the Auntie for that corporate guy who got killed over that exploded phone recently, it would be a blessing. Or Aunties for those viral cases of fire at gas stations. Pelik tapi benar.....all happened in Malaysia.

That's how they grow old while those rebel without cause died young like James Dean

Today got a young punk who asked me to cancel his ride. I said he had to cancel as I already reach PUP at the hotel lobby. After 15 minutes, he came and took the ride. I asked him why he did not cancel to get another ride since he asked me to pick him up at another hostel at Petaling Street which I am clueless. What's wrong with that? He said when he asked the drivers , all of them would cancel for him.

Well, I got a lot of time to chill by blowing smoke. And since it affect my cancellation, I can wait for hours to smoke a duck. Not that it affect my incentive, I just do not like the figure especially riders had the habit of asking drivers to cancel it instead of themselves.

KLCC was red hot dot and got a KLIA trip at RM65. Ignored and got Shah Alam job which is at RM61 at half the distance and time.

Both of these jobs with Grab Plus setting only but given Grab Car jobs.

Try the 5 minutes thingy , but still get Grab car after selecting Plus and waited 5 to 10 minutes.

Using NEP via Sg Besi took me about 50 minutes.

If I take KLIA trip, flat rate RM65 only for 1 hour over and over drive especially I dun wait for durian jatuh at Landslide.

Why flat rate without surge to KLIA despite the real hot demand? For two hours can easily get over RM65, right in red zone area, right?

BTW, how come grab only have just 1 option to drive 1 car? I have 3 cars ready to vroom depending on my mood and types of hotties I am picking.
