Last time, before AA, many drivers reject long trips during peak hours, then tried to repair AR by driving extra trips. That was stressful also.

I myself made sure I had accepted 4 jobs before I would reject one. Yeah, I know I earned less, but it was less stressful.

To be honest Time out feature is the worst kind of all, left all drivers with no option and become lembu for crap.

Last time Uber also got time out. If a driver rejected 3 jobs in a row, he would be suspended for 5 minutes.

But after many drivers crossed to Grab, Uber removed this function.

2 years ago NYE is weekly AR, accumulate bullet for the week after new year still can repair eveything.

Is a trick man  tongue.gif

On AA, but cancel jobs if necessary.
Only areas with countdown events will be jammed like shit.

But I will be working on Monday. Maybe after work drive for 2 hours, then head home.

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.

The purpose of TBB is to compensate you for long pickup. As for the time you spend after pickup, it's factored into the fare (though grab's upfront estimation may not be accurate).

That's exactly what I think.
I joined Uber after I lost my job. After that joined Grab.
Now I have a job, but I still do grab occasionally.

I plan to stop when the new e-hailing rules are enforced next July. However, I won't risk getting myself permanently banned.

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

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.

Picked up an Arab family earlier today - 4 adults plus 2 kids plus a stroller. Nearly couldn't fit into my little car doh.gif

I have picked up Arabs with strollers many times...

On the up side, an Indo migrant worker gave me RM20 for fare of RM17.

I thought, 4 adults + 2 kids are considered 6 pax. I will always reject and ask them to book 6 seaters.

The question is, am I doing the right thing.

OK, lesson learned. Next time I will reject.

So far all my riders who bring along strollers are Arabs. It seems that they cannot carry their kids in the arms, and must rely on strollers.

KL traffic was actually rather smooth after 7pm.
Too bad I wasn't feeling well, and had to go home early.

Maybe party goers will go out after 9pm...

I'm wondering, the trips with big bonus, is it a far away pickup or was it a within 5km pickup? If it took you long enough to pick them up or far, I would say they have successfully "poisoned" most of the new drivers.
*
You want short pickup + smooth traffic + high fare + bonus?
Grab is not going to give you free lunch.

If you have the first three, you are not going to get the fourth one.

Health risk of doing grab is real, but that doesn't give you an excuse to be choosy.

My advice is we go offline every after 2 hours, do some stretching.

Regarding riders' behavior, well, a bad rider is still better than a bas boss and bad colleagues.

In the end, those who drove on NYE and turned on AA earned a fair bit.
Those who complained and went offline missed the chance...

I also missed it, but that was because of illness tongue.gif

Petrol price will go down on Saturday. Any of you plan to take a break tomorrow?

You can actually earn more than you can save lah... But I know many drivers like to play safe.
