Those who turned on AA was the biggest earner. Gone were those days when you can select jobs which you find interesting.

Grab has now turned this into officially a blind dare game.

So disappointed at how we the once upon a time, incentive earners turned to flexi now has to suffer at the hands of their system.

This year definitely got to look for another job. Enough is enough.

Then why not just implement as a totally "blind" system rather than offering the option of turning off AA?Certainly they know there are people who are not interested in doing anymore of their incentives or not able to. Also the mod apps are getting rampant.

You are not the only one. Flexi drivers totally no Boost at all. Those who are daring enough to on AA in/around the middle of city center KL only did got it.

Goodluck, definitely we need more drivers like you around. But believe me, it will come to a point where you will find driving short trips with boosters are a waste of time. Fake bookings are bound to happen in a way. Have you ever wondered how and why UBER at that time had less fake bookings? Did Grab chose to follow its implementation to curb it? If they had done it earlier a while ago before the Hourly Guarantees, this wouldn't even happened at all.

Believe me, I drove since the previous 27rm/trip days. Stop a while, back on the 3 tiers of HG, then stopped for a while, move to 4 tiers of HG, and till finally today.

I never game, I never manipulated with the hours, I never chose my trips back when I was doing the 4 tiers HG.

So what makes you think I'm a cherry picker? Do I wish to even choose my jobs knowing that a RM5 trip in one hour block which will guarantee me up to RM27? LOL.

Wake up boy.

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.

And your point is? The old genting taxi station which is near to the junction between Westin,JW marriot hotel back area? Guess what, we got so sick of playing short cut while driving in a hastily manner just to avoid the jam.

How funny, I wasn't even trying to be sarcastic and this all you can reply? Save that toxic comment, I'm not pushing my or bragging my seniority in grab, but I've taken more bullets,bites,dust more than you with the way you are name calling people as cherry pickers. Oh yes, I too was once like you, blaming for the far pickup distance, unwanted trips which would get me stuck in a jam during those HG days due to those so called cherry pickers camping at short trip spots.

Guess what, karma's a bitch, you will bound to be the cherry pickers sooner or later.

As the saying goes, the first to laugh is the first to lose. Let's see who's the real boy or real kid.

Good for you then, ever since the driver allocation algorithm is rigged by them, and you're still getting nearer jobs which is good for you and your mileage.

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.

He's driving a 6-seater local made car. Illiterate, can't speak well in english, what business can he do at the moment. We've tried to advise him to move on to another better job, but people just don't want him or find him too old. So what else can he do? Start plying the streets and rob people??

I at one point had bad bowel movements due to this job. Been constipating with blood coming out due to excessive seating inside the car. Got freaked out, and stopped for a month.

Yes, and over a long term is only gonna deteriorate your health. I've read some cases of taxi drivers snoozing off behind the wheel while on the road, due to lack of sleep also diet and lifestyle habits.

I take a balanced meal of meat and vege, but I guess sometimes the human body has a limit. I do keep a bottle of water in my car but is no use, sometimes you just try to avoid drinking too much because of getting stuck in jam and you find no toilet. Have to tahan if urgent.

Tb?? Sorry, we are just some average john and joe... Donno what is this tb and aa like what some here are championing about. We can just go off for a week without worrying about income.

Dont cash on this year raya.. With the recent example like NYE, is already a good precedent on what is about to happen for this upcoming festive season. Dont know if I'm going to drive this cny. But will try and see.
