That is not true.

Actually the weekly rental is about the same as u rent a car from 3rd party.

The only problem crap has a lot of clauses in the rental agreement that put u in disadvantage. So make sure u read properly before signup.

What did u mean by mandarin?

I agree. IMHO there are two type of surcharge:-

The first one is depend on the current demand&supply of the PUP where we can see the "highfare" at the job ping screen during demand/supply imbalance.

Second one is depend on how rare is the people (in order words, ulu...) surrounding DOP book for a ride. There will be no "highfare" at the job ping screen in regardless of how much is this type of surcharge.

u can see for obvious the difference of klsentral-rawang fare despite both going and back have same distance. Be noted that there is not even a green color heatmap surrounding klsentral hence i can safely says there is no "highfare" at the moment.



p/s: maybe there is a 3rd type of surcharge where crap says they will increase the fare during peak hour after the implementation of AA but i not sure.

Just curious, whst was your average fare per trip in good old days?

Imagine u go to a restaurant and the waiter/waitress is talking on the phone while taking your order. Or, a private tuition teacher is on the phone while tutoring your kid. It doesnt feel professional, right?

I either ignore the call and just tell the caller that i will call back shortly.

Do u guys actually consider surcharge as a form of incentive? Imo surcharge is no difference than incentive because both are extra bonus. The only difference is who pay it. Sometime my hour incentive is low because i have a high surcharge in that particular hour.

Another type of hidden incentivee is overly estimation of distance. For example, the job only need u to travel 10km but the crappy algorithm says it is 20km. The surcharge is not written on the job detail but u clearly make extra money in this case.

I meant not too far in the pass but just 2-3 months back.

I think the hidden incentive is depend on both pickup and dropoff locations. The fastest route may not necessary has a longer distance. It is just the crappy algorithm is unable to make a correct calculation.

So far i only found 2 places that consistenly overly estimated the distance. Imagine how much extra i get if there is a surge.

Btw, the long semester break for some uni is almost over and the operasi tangkap illegal immigrant is ending soon. So maybe the demand will be back to normal.

Speaking of illegal immigrant, i have fetched an illegal bangla yesterday and he told me that he just won rm300k of magnum/toto a few weeks ago. He also told me that he spend around rm100 per draw x 12 draws per month.

I was so surprise that he spend so much in gambling therefore i asked him how can he afford to spend so much. Then he smiled at me and said his gaji is rm8k per month.

Wtf? 8k per month? Seriously?

This kind of 'bullish' news always come with a blindspot. Yes, he can do it but for how long? Can he repeats such an extraordinary performance 3 times a week continuously? Without considering the exchange rate, sgd38 per hour is just on par with most of the experienced economic car drivers.

IMO how much u make per day has nothing to be proud of because u just exchange long driving time with more money. It is always how much you make per hour that matters.

There are many post in the fb showing how pro they are as a flexi drivers because they make over rm2k per week. So what i was trying to say is this number really means nothing.

On paper valution only. All talks are cheap without profit to back it up. The valuation idea on how big the market they conquer is not sustainable without cheap fare, huge promo and driver incentive, as we all can see what happen to the market when they begin to close the water tap.

So belum listed belum tahu.

2k is easy for 6s since the fare is much higher.

Job from klia is not considered as AA despite u switch on AA.

The main focus of crap is stop bleeding cash right now, so:

Job from kila: it is possible to earn hg incentive. So not consider as AA even if u on AA.

Job to klia: guarantee 'forfeit' the hg incentive. So consider as AA if u on AA.

P/s: But still, it wont stop real airport players to queue at landside.

Yes, provided u still have time.

BUT guarantee burn your last hour incentive.

Of course it counts, or else how to burn your hg incentive.

1 hour.

If i were the system designer, i will design a job allocation algorithm based on probability for flexibility of any future adjustment.

For example, if there are 5 AA and 5 none AA drivers meets other criterias for job allocation, then the AA driver may have 70% probability to the job.

That is why u still see none AA driver get the job 1st even u guys sit next to each others. However if u tested long enough (bigger sample size), u will see how the probability weights toward AA drivers.
