throw price at off-peak, now cannot get RM1 per km.

Never ending price war like this lah, crap is feeling the pain by losing a bit market share to mycar and dacsee.

Now you know why crap wants to cut driver incentives biggrin.gif

riders: Price hike after Uber pull out !@#$%
drivers: Incentive cut $%^&*
staff: We want bonus, increment!
investors: We want profit, dividend!

I guess the best thing crap can do is to display ads in rider app, and earn some fee from there bruce.gif

Airport prices should always be around RM 100 - RM 150, only Crap go and lower it to so low. If they can afford to fly, the transfer there is nothing. When riders travel to other countries, do you think they complain the airport transfer is too expensive? some even carry 30kg luggage on trains and busses to save money. But when come back to Malaysia wanna complain RM 100 is too expensive... Sometimes, the company they work for pays.

I don't understand why is it so hard for the company to come up with tabs. To pull auto accept, after getting used to it, seems alright. Having an "airport" or "grab share" tab would allow drivers to pick if they want to do these jobs. Not all drivers want to do these jobs but there are a lot that just wants these jobs. It is always better to have two willing parties than to create friction. If there are not enough drivers for grab share, then so be it, the app will just tell the rider there is no driver around or they have to wait for 60 minutes for one etc, just like drivers, sometimes we have to wait 40 minutes for a job in non-peak areas. You want to save you wait for la, no different from taking a bus.

I just can't comprehend what some people think. I had someone who took grab share for 1.1km for RM 5. It is already RM 5 for that mileage. Then double ping come in and give me black face lol...

Grab has increased fare after Uber exited the market. Somehow fare for airport trips remains unchanged. (Actually decrease if hail from certain regions.) A increase of RM5-RM10 is most welcome. Or maybe surcharge applies.

Regarding the 'tab' you mention, I don't think we should be allowed to opt out of grabshare. We can't be choosy like taxi drivers. In any case, I haven't got many GS jobs of late.

But opting out of long distance trips should be allowed. (That would include airport trips for most drivers.) Last time Uber notified drivers of long trips, and we could decide whether to accept them.

It's not about being choosy, it's about being sure what you are doing. Taking Grabshare is always like a gamble. You are opting in 30% of your potential earning for a maybe. The odds are not in your favour, it's going to be against you. Yes, you may have taken those so-called "nice" ones. From my experience, I completed 2 grab share from Publika to Sungai Besi, 2 hours to complete because in between I had to pick up someone from Bangsar smack in the middle of Brickfields. Another was from PJ to Midvalley where I had to route back to BU to pick someone up. Both jobs were between RM 30-RM 45.

Maybe you like to gamble, but I rather work towards a foreseeable income than a "probably". Using that income, I would go to a proper channel to gamble. Honestly, my odds are higher on a roulette table than to earn from Grab share...  mega_shok.gif  mega_shok.gif

I don't like GS too. I hope Grab will scrap this scheme.
It's no so much about money, as I am in HG. It's about those cheapskate riders who choose GS, but hope that they would have the car to themselves.

But if Grab decides that GS will stay, then all drivers must share the burden. You can't just take all the good jobs, and leave all the bad ones to others.

Actually it was my fault, I sent a message maki2 a customer last sunday.

It's not a big deal. I already plan to deactivate this week as I will start a new job at another state next week, 12 hours++ shift so no way I will do grab anymore plus a lot of factors ie their stupid management and upcoming MOT regulations. Hell, I only completed 10 - 15 trips these past 2 - 3 weeks as I see no point at all to do this part time anymore

So yeah, I just blow off some steam to that stupid troll who make me come 4 KM and waited 10 minutes but end up I cannot contact him at all. So I said to myself fuck it just sent a message consists of every known cursed words to that guy. FeelsGoodMan  tongue.gif

I was jobless before. Now I got a job.

But I wouldn't do something which would risk me getting banned. Who knows I could lose my job again, and have to rely on Grab.

But if you are confident of getting a good job then go ahead give those riders a lesson biggrin.gif

Today I grab after work.

Got a job to pick up somebody. When I reached the pick up location, the rider called and told me she would be coming.
5 minutes passed, and she was still not there. I wanted to cancel the trip. But the rider's name suggested that she was a Vietnamese, so I decided to wait biggrin.gif

After about 7 minutes the rider finally came. Not bad wub.gif
Along the way, I uttered a few Vietnamese words which I had learned, and the Viet girl was impressed with me laugh.gif

Finally, I dropped her off at a bar at Kota Damansara.


My other job was not so great.
It was a cash payment job, and the amount was RM7.
At drop off location, the rider told me she didn't have money, and had to get it from her home. (It was in a condo.) She asked if I could wait for her.

Fcuk you lah... could I say no vmad.gif

Can start with no show cancellation.

Cancellation before reaching PUP - this one more complicated. Drivers may cheat riders to cancel, and earn cancellation fee without having to start the engine.

Speaking of reporting bad drivers to Grab, not everyone will do that.

Like the Vietnamese girl I picked up yesterday. I doubt she could write in proper English or BM.

Heyyy, just wanna ask... Is it wise to purposefully go from Damansara to KLIA and wait for ping, or is is better to just ping around town???

Being waiting here for almost 2 hours, just to get that RM 65 seems abit stupid now...
*
If you have too much free time, and can sleep inside your car, you can try that.
If you complete 3 jobs a day, each with RM65 fare, you are doing OK.

But I don't do that lah biggrin.gif I prefer to work intensively for a few hours, then go home for rest and exercise bruce.gif

As per my understanding,

A ---->> A1 ---->> B (new)

New fare will be, (distance travelled from A until a point changing destination A1) + (A1 distance to B)

Here's the catch, the new fare for (A1 to B) will follow the rate/surge during booking time of A
Haven't try with this new change destination yet~~

Got penalty for changing destination?

The request still come in after off line. And it’s a long trip some more at mp block last five minutes. Crap really try his best to lift the driver Cr!! Next time really has to kill app for safety.

There is always a lag between toggling to unavailable and the system actually acknowledging it.

If I decide I will take a break after a job, I will set unavailable as soon as I pick up the rider.
