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.

No response with the red face remarks on rider impolite and abusive remarks. Heck I am still waiting for the notification after I call in personally over a rider who did not pay after the ride. I am still in the dark since two moons ago. mad.gif

I know that but thank you anyway xifus.

It's just that I'm a bit confused because TBB seems like a hit and miss. Sometimes you'll get it, sometimes you won't, eventhough you're driving in MP block.
*
Even the heat map is a hit of miss even it is a red hot period in color at KLCC to Pavillion . Some said Mid Valley and PJ too. Kandang Kandang lembu fare no surge. Sometimes 50% to 100% like Salmon or Cod Fish fare. doh.gif

What is so great about going to red hot chilli pepper heat map but fare can be as low as Rm5 minimum fare or getting paid less than RM 20 for 20 KM designation? rclxs0.gif

"All that glitters is not gold". Kandang Kandang Lembu fare at Rm5 fare and just boost shit without bonus. tongue.gif

Yesterday 750 pm picked up riders at Sunway pyramid which is about 3km which takes 12 minutes as reflected by Waze which showed crunchy peanut jam from Mentari Court. Zero bonus. ranting.gif

Yes..... on AA. This not the first time but multi times on UP to MP. ranting.gif

There are times I got golden bonus but sometimes get nugget bonus where the payout is picked and plucked from thier crappy nostril. puke.gif

Unless I have to drop riders at the designated shopping hotspot, I would have off my Crappy app to avoid the peanut jam which the bonus boost is inconsistence and lack of transparency. bangwall.gif

No accountability at all where there is no response even from the multi red mad.gif faces feedbacks in the app. tongue.gif

Drama Queen wants you to grow up from Honda City to Honda Civic or Almera to Teana. Now that is Quality for her Rm5 fare where her bump would feel more comfortable. She is complaining because her bum sore. The train ride is more comfortable without the bump , rattle and roll over compared to your car. devil.gif

I am thinking of resigning my office job due to much stress. However take home salary needs to be at least RM7k. Is this achievable with grab - monthly net income (after minus all, 25% commission, petrol)? Next year with PSV license requirement, go for class, puspakom inspection..many part timers will quit. They bloody well should increase the fares, make it same to as  Taxi Drivers fare since now same playing field. Current fares are too bloody low la. For me I do normal grab, typical net income is about RM10 an hour..due to jam..and realy sucks if get bangla ..indon go those far places like gombak..batu caves..klang etc

(after minus all, 25% commission, petrol)[/B]?

Have you minus all ? from service, wear and tear of D segment car? Most of all, depreciation of the car?

Have you seen the video how the Uber Black driver was insulted by Uber ex CEO? bangwall.gif https://youtu.be/9F0IzbXPpnA

JP = Joke Peak. When it is up to the whims and fancies of crappy designers, it is designed to be Jumbo elephants fares or Tiny Mickey mouse payout for the New Year Bash or Bust. tongue.gif

Uber days would be determined by the transparent boost of 3x or more with surge demand which ever is applicable. But guaranteed at least of knock 3 times if you want me to drive and pick up riders. rclxm9.gif

Salaried workers are paid 2x to 3x on public holidays if they choose to work and drive their bosses or goods. hmm.gif

Same here, some job got bonus and some did not have. I’m seriously doubt crap calculation on new year eve.

Worse still the crappy apps will sometimes shut off itself, or cannot press anything. Has to shut down and restart again.

When there is no transparency, it is like Br1M scheme. Just Jib Bye scam. mad.gif

Imagine in the red hot chili pepper map where you get 1.2x surge to time boost shit which you dun get anything despite the peanut jam to pick your riders. bangwall.gif

The odds of payout is better and consistence if you play baccarat instead of rolling the dices at the crappy table of time booster close your eyes to lay your bets on roulette table on red or black. On the red hot crappy map, you may get Rm5 fare payout in Peanut jam which is a charity ride with time and gas losses. tongue.gif

Uber Boost where got so high? Mostly between 1.1x and 1.4x only.

Surge could be higher, but rarely more than 2.0x.

After Uber introduced Quest, Boost was mostly gone.

It happened to me many times: I was in high surge zone. But when a job came in, there was no surge rate.
*
The boost soar high till 3x for and christmaseve and newyeareve . Surge lain kira. if no surge , just get boost. But if got surge, they tolak but still get 3 kali fare. bruce.gif

On red like morning rush, lunch time to balik rumah peanut jam, also got up to 1.9x boost to bus station or airport at designation red hot chilli spot. It show a variety of redness, Mont Kiara and KLCC and PJ.......usually red hot but on sleected mapping area. drool.gif

Against Undang Undang Jalanraya since five seater cars are equipped with only five safety belts for driver and four riders. Not just about getting saman but risk of bodily injuries and getting risk of lawsuit from riders and suspensions from Grab and JPJ. sweat.gif

It may be jerung fare but risk of getting shark fin soup or hefty fines from the court of law. Di tanggung tarak halal.rclxub.gif

Probably the best place to be is at Desa Parkcity to see the fireworks in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate end of 2018 to began welcoming 2019. rclxm9.gif

However t would be crappy for drivers to pick up riders......with the Joker Peak.... because it will take you 2 hours just to get out from the Waterfront to LDP toll after the celebration ends. rclxub.gif

We all knew what was coming, but didn't expect that the High Fare mechanics system was so badly hammered down.

One of our close friend, who's driver account got banned permanently over a simple misunderstanding between a passenger. He had to resort to using somebody's name to drive at the moment. And so luckily that this 'other' persons bank account has issues with the bank and all withdrawals are currently freezed. If he turned on AA, most of the jobs will be in mixture of PROMO,GRABPAY or CASH. Do you think he dared risked the CR just to select only cash/promo payment types? The new year is ushering in, he has a family to take care of, mouths to feed, childrens to send to school. AA??? He tried to appeal but Grab only kept giving him the cold shoulders and ask him to go fly kite.
End of the day, they are providing us the platform, if you want the incentives, you gotta play to my rules. If you do not want, then go on and pick till you get locked out of the system.

I've come from the guarantee per trip days and I would say they are really squeezing out the drivers and riders dry. The days of incentives are long gone.

In a way, Auto Accept is actually helping to address this "not interesting" trips. By compensating you the time to reach, distance to reach, and duration and distance to complete. But as you drive longer and longer for them, you will find that it gets into your mind. Given a person with a 999 EQ level, he will also breakdown at one point due to frustration because of facing riders behaviors and the traffic congestion.
*
The worst nightmare is breakdown are as follow - the high risk of getting heart failure and stroke due to stress, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, immobility due confinement in the driver seat for 12 hours. oops.gif

It is costly to have these two medical conditions where it may cost you thousand of ringgit beyond whatever crap boost can give you. knock.gif

Drivers over 40 would be in high risk of getting deep vein thrombosis - DVT or simply means blood clot .

Sitting for long periods of time, such as when driving or flying. When your legs remain still for hours, your calf muscles don't contract, which normally helps blood circulate. Blood clots can form in the calves of your legs if your calf muscles don't move for long periods. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditi...es/syc-20352557

Your risk is higher if you are older, obese, female, smoker and have history of hypertension. Driving under stress in peanut jam and fares with a banana hanging your head would certainly aggravate the condition. doh.gif

There are many drivers who are grabbing to cari makan, makan angin, some do it for fund for extra income , many do it for fun and a few do it to raise charity fund. Ada juga, do it to meet PYT riders where they are likely to be seated beside the driver in thier brand new BMW in just Grab option. Others may have no choice but to drive fast and furious to make ends meets by grabbing 6 pax in thier Proton saga risking saman and damaging car absorbers.console.gif

IMHO, cherry picking or not is one driver's meat where it could be another driver cuppa tea or coffee. I choose to cherry pick for my own safety and comfort zone for myself and riders. Each time I go Cheras or Sri Petaling or Shah Alam, I MD back to KL or PJ where I am familiar with the routes and mazes. Sometimes the waze makes you go round and round without reaching the designation or going to dead end zone especially in the gated and guarded location. The worst nightmare is going to a deserted location where you could be robbed and murdered!!!. shocking.gif

If I feel uncomfortable at the sight of my passengers and location , I just cancel. Safety first above all. And certain designation like KLIA especially in peak hours with RM 65 with no Time Boost in sight, I spit the cherry pith to pick up durians at KLCC. That's my cherry picking and spitting stories where I stirred but not shaken by incentives to raise funding to maintain my car and jalan jalan cari makan at my favorite stores from Bak Good Teh to Curry Mee. cool2.gif

This is the estimated normal taxi rate on daily basis in Klang Valley.


Taxi Start (Normal Tariff) 3.00 RM 3.00-4.00
Taxi 1km (Normal Tariff) 1.88 RM 1.00-3.00
Taxi 1hour Waiting (Normal Tariff) 25.00 RM 15.00-30.00



3 8.65 RM 13 27.47 RM 23 46.29 RM 33 65.11 RM 43 83.93 RM
4 10.53 RM 14 29.35 RM 24 48.17 RM 34 66.99 RM 44 85.81 RM
5 12.41 RM 15 31.23 RM 25 50.05 RM 35 68.87 RM 45 87.69 RM
6 14.29 RM 16 33.11 RM 26 51.93 RM 36 70.75 RM 46 89.57 RM
7 16.17 RM 17 34.99 RM 27 53.82 RM 37 72.64 RM 47 91.46 RM
8 18.06 RM 18 36.88 RM 28 55.70 RM 38 74.52 RM 48 93.34 RM
9 19.94 RM 19 38.76 RM 29 57.58 RM 39 76.40 RM 49 95.22 RM
10 21.82 RM 20 40.64 RM 30 59.46 RM 40 78.28 RM 50 97.10 RM
11 23.70 RM 21 42.52 RM 31 61.34 RM 41 80.16 RM 51 98.98 RM
12 25.58 RM 22 44.41 RM 32 63.23 RM 42 82.05 RM

52KM 100.87 RM

For the distance in the proton saga you get the boost by itself with 52KM 100.87 RM. And there is a surcharge for airport ride.

Just thinking aloud, why those who are full time want to grab riders with MYVI or Honda City at RM 65 to RM 75 instead of driving as taxi where they can earn more than RM 100 per trip? The fare itself is a boost for driving around at RM 1.88 per KM. doh.gif

During the HNYE , taxi drivers were making thier own time boost where they are asking RM 50 for less than 5 km ride to the hotels. I was there at Fahrenheit drinking and watching the riders getting in for their Shangrila Hotel and Face ride without even negotiating. Tarak tawar menawar tanpa meter. hmm.gif

Why would you want to spoil your car like that? Hire-renting a cab is like RM 20-40 daily for 4 years with NGV installed. After 4 years the licence is RM 20 a day I think. From there, you can abuse the car to go Genting la, Airport la, etc.

Don't forget, Taxi takes RM 20 flat per day and that's it. Full tank NGV is RM 10 a day and can net somewhere around RM 250-RM 300. If you can't find anyone, turn on the app, if you are familiar wait then wait for hail. Drive at your pace, drive fast, drive slow no diff. Got jam, no diff. All in the meters. Wind down the window and if not going in the direction you want, say sorry, try the one behind, unlimited CR!

I spoke to my father's circle of Taxi drivers, they were so naive. They thought taxi is coming back as business is picking up for them after the protest. Then I told them, "Uncle, your protest didn't do anything la. Grab taking a gun and shooting their own limbs. Grab drivers are cancelling rides because the company is paying them unfairly. People wait for 30 mins then just take Cab loh. July come you all can buy a house and new car already!"

E-hailing is great for part-timers and it should always be that way. That's why PSV was never imposed on e-hailing because you are technically "sharing-a-ride" to a destination. Basically its only for a 3-5 hours run, after work, for side income.

That's how you would want to make a living if you pursue a driving career. Whining about an app that is burning more money monthly than they are making won't change anything. They will continue to burn money until someone buy them out. That's the end game for them.
*
E-hailing is a platform for part time lovers who can moonlight for extra income after their office hours. And most bosses would not permit thier staff to do it as it may distract thier actual work or those who sneak the company time to cruising riders around town. And those who dun cherry pick thier route or riders may ended up late for thier work or appointment. Imagine the bosses seeing thier staff with Green Grab logo once the law by JPJ takes effect in June. Especially when thier sales staff quota are not met or coming to work late hmm.gif

Dat's why I really wonder why some got new cars plastered with Grab advert to grab attention and riders. As for full timer, does it makes ringgit and sense to Grab riders confused.gif

You are speaking from a privileged position.

I think you overlook one thing; for many, Grab is the highest possible paying job they can get. You may say go do taxi better etc....well..I heard its not all that rosy either compared to grab. Lets not even be surprised ppl will happily let Grab plaster their car for extra few dollars....many will take loan from Grab with exorbitant interest rate or take a discounted handphone from Grab. Thats the reality of the job market and prospect for drivers and people in this country right now.

PS: if you think full timers cannot earn with Grab...you should see those who got banned from GRab and still doing e-hailing with MyCar.
*
After amortization, interest, depreciation and maintenance of the car used for grabbing riders, my professional akauntan concur that it doesnt make ringgit and sense. Even the taxi fellas can hardly makes a decent living where most of them cannot afford to retire.
Taxi owners after making the final payment would be buying another car as the old car is too expensive to maintain with the wear and tear. and riders would reluctant to ride old cars for long distance. And they do not have EPF saving to retire. I have a friend who was still driving in his late sixties while he has symptoms of stroke. Despite being aware of the risk which could lead to acute stroke, he simply got no choice but to drive on. rclxub.gif

Most of all, many would be medically compromised with disease like cardio vascular diseases or joints inflammation due to poor dietary intake, lack of exercise, inadequate rest or even sleep after all the years of driving. Human beings are like the automobiles where it would be cranky after all the long mileage. sweat.gif

IMHO, for those who are young and able to source jobs with thier skills should not do ehailing full time as they are losing the most precious element in thier life - TIME & OPPORTUNITY & CAREER. doh.gif

Unless one is being lay off , stuck with the car repayment and have to cari makan for himself and family, it is to source for income temporary while looking high and low for a career job. if the worker is being retrenched, at least he got some monies compensation but if he given banana by Crap, the driver is peanut jammed. bangwall.gif

For oldies where they are Hawaii 5 - O or so, it is also good for them to drive for fun and fund. Stirred and not shaken in Zero Zero 7 style where they are cruising at thier leisure time to pick up hotties with fares and incentives. Provided they are not doing wild goose chase for time boost . cool2.gif

Coming Soon to the cinemas and cities near you, autonomous self driving cars from US to China , East to the West. Would it be realistic to be Crapman or Uberman in near future or life changing Artificial Intelligence Drivers ? See for yourself from self driving cars to buses...... https://youtu.be/v4-vynqJ5JU confused.gif

The Crappy Loan is a nuisance where I could be a modern slave to Crap entrapment. rclxs0.gif

BTW, I bought my cars without installment payments headache and using 4G phone to grab riders. The 4 G phone is brand new costing RM250 aje where it is doing the job to find riders fine better than my Samsong and Sonny where the battery is Eveready with 3500mah. Meow with bigger display screen 2 while cruising around in my EXORA NGV that goes 1000 kilometrico with both gas and petrol tankful. bruce.gif
