Last time one mapren went to Western Union. Fare was RM8, he said only got RM7. He asked me wait for him withdraw money.

I didn't want to wait, so I took what he had, and asked him to give me 5 stars, which he promised.

But my rating never went up...

A fee will soon be imposed on those seeking to have car window tints above the allowable limit, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke (pic).

He said this is part of the Road Transport (Amendment) Bill 2018, which he tabled in Parliament on Monday (Dec 10) and is expected to be passed and gazetted for implementation by January next year.

Currently, the law allows tints with at least 70% Visible Light Transmission (VLT) for the windscreen, 50% for front passenger windows and 30% for the rear passenger windows and rear windscreen.

"If you tint according to the standard, no approval is needed," he said.

This is holiday in Selangor.
I worked in KL and did grabbing from 6pm to 8pm.

Surprisingly, traffic was not too bad. Probably shoppers went home only.

As for Bukit Jalil, well I live near there. But I reached home only, when football fans were already inside the stadium.

It looks like the driver was on b2b, and already had next rider.
How far was you from your original drop off point?

Another thing I notice is that riders bound for KLIA/2 can't change destination.

5  Does it have payment mode other than cash and what are timeline to claim back etc
6  Where are generally the hotspots. I operates in KV

Hope experienced mycar drivers can assist coz difficult to find comprehensive info googling. Thanks

Your questions are exactly what many disgruntled Grab drivers want to know. Some are waiting to jump ship.
Do find out and let us know.

Oh yes, please open a separate thread for Mycar.

From what I read here, Mycar is popular in Cyberjaya.

Yesterday 5-7pm MP block on AA received 6 job only 1 got RM2.10 TBB. I cancelled 3 another 2 rider cancelled. Don't give a damn fxxk anymore. Previously
already done a lot jobs don't have TBB. Email crap CS until now they not yet compensation me. Already 2 weeks.

Yesterday (Friday) I was lucky. Driving from 6:40 to 8:10 earned RM59 (after Grab commission).

Because of heavy rain, 3 out of 5 jobs had surcharge more than basic fare. Or, in Uber term, surge rate 2x plus.

Started driving to test liao. 6 pm to 9.30 pm total gross fare cilaka only RM63.

Fare-wise  damn low. From Ampang Point to KLCC only RM6, from KLCC to Bukit Bandaraya Bangsar only RM 11. Intermark to Setiawangsa RM8. One rider even put note got RM2 tip from Bangsar Telawi to KL Central only RM5 scare no driver pick up lol.

PUP distance crazy far. I had to filtered off at least 15 pings with distance from 3km to even 8km.

One more downside is if cancel job the system will source for other drivers and if no other driver accept the job it will bounce back to you and you cannot proceed with new job. I had to wait for 6 mins with job kept bouncing back coz no other drivers pick up. Fed up i decided to accept the job at last. Wonder if still no other drivers picking up what will happen. Rider waiting like a fool and me digging my nose until bleed lol.

System design-wise its a far cry from Grab or Uber. The fonts and info are so wordy & small like reading newspaper while you trying to drive. The chat box can hardly be read with soft color words in yellow background. Even the credit balance in pale green color. Also when in waze mode no button to toggle back to trip page. More finger work to get out of waze and back into mycar.

However got some plus points also. Top up can be done online from your debit or credit card efforlessly and instantly. No need TAC whatsover under this Senang Pay system. Not like Grab got to go hunting for KK Marts or Petronas. Also the time allowed to accept ping is 20 secs so can deliberate longer whether to accept not like Grab's.5 sec. Sometime when on non AA as you turn a corner and have shifted your view and by time you revert back a job has been missed.

Looks like i am missing GRAB already. Got to struggle another 28 days on roti kosong and teh O.

While waiting for your suspension to be lifted, there are a few things you can do:
- go travel if you have money
- visit friends/relatives
- spring cleaning
- pick up a skill, prepare yourself for post-grab life

When I was doing Grab full time, I got many jobs to TBS. Usually after dropping off riders I didn't wait there. Went to Bukit Jalil instead.

Anyone here renewed your car roadtax and insurance yet ?

Failure to do so will mean can't drive Grab until it's renewed, correct ?

Or just better gantung kunci and don't bother about it ? Haha

The new rules are to be fully enforced next July. But of course if your insurance is going to expire soon you need to renew it.

There is already a well tested solution for crappy company - just follow the Uber system of estimated fare based on time + distance + surge pricing based on demand/supply at time of booking. If the actual time taken differs by >100%, then fare will be calculated by actual time taken.

That's why Uber drivers don't complain of traffic jams cos they are compensated accordingly.

No need to reinvent the wheel by all sorts of non transparent schemes like time boost. Unhappy drivers will only result in lousy services.
*
For TBB, it should be easy to calculate actual duration. But I guess Grab is reluctant to implement it for fear of driver gaming.

Unless rider fare is also based on actual duration, then the rider will make sure the driver end the trip as soon as possible.
But in this case, the rider will be unhappy if the actual fare is more than the upfront estimated fare, and give the driver low rating.

Another catch is that: if we lose server connection at drop off, we won't be able to get the actual fare.
I encountered similar situation before when driving for Uber. Ended up I accepted upfront estimated fare.

My TBB sometimes good, sometimes bad.

I drive between 6pm and 8pm, after leaving office. Sometimes I am frustrated being stuck in jam, with ikan bilis bonus.
Then again, if I go home directly after work, I will be stuck in jam also biggrin.gif

I think the bigger issue is grabbing during non-P/MP/UP blocks, when the fare is lower than before.
