QUOTE(hirano @ Mar 25 2018, 07:34 PM) Some drivers also noob. I put location Midvalley North Entrance, with note "in front Toast Box" also they dunno where. They waited at the bus station instead. Few times happen. Good thing for them I'm not a fussy person, I called and walk to them instead. Yesterday morning got work on weekend, drop-off location set at Gardens North Tower, driver dunno where he's driving around midvalley,... so I said to driver, "It's okay, I can walk", and proceed to walk on my own for 5 mins. Still gave him 5-stars anyway.   Haha i dont mind giving free starbucks coffee 2 the riders like you  |

QUOTE(lowyard @ Mar 19 2018, 04:39 PM) This. Usually I just cancel with this kind of riders. Especially at a place that I didn't even know got 2 entrance, like an apartment building, usually only got 1 lobby per block right? So once arrived, I let them know. Then they say they can't find me. Then I said I'm really here, I can see the staircase from here. Then they said "oh, please come down behind the block". I immediately press cancel. Is it so hard to give details in advance? Both Uber and grab got built in messaging system that cost 0 cent to use. Is it so hard to type "I'm at block B, the glass door entrance, not staircase one" 5 minutes before I arrive? I don't care bout the fares. I care bout manners. If you're kurang ajar, I'll be kurang ajar too. If you give me a hard time, I'll give you a hard time too. Good luck waiting for the next driver to come then. Good luck wasting your time even more. Good luck getting drivers who are willing to accept your promo bookings during this severe jam. Awesome la you. Got principle. I wish more drivers can become like this so that we won't become slave to riders. |

QUOTE(wa1k3r @ Mar 6 2018, 01:05 PM) on my first week started driving uber..i couldn't get waze to work so had to rely on google maps which is probably the worse app of all history... i was driving a lady home..went thru a toll to make a u-turn...after u-turn, i supposed take a left turn. missed that and went back up on the toll highway again. had to make 2 more u-turns to finally drop her off. i politely apologise and ask her to file a report to uber that i used wrong way..and she rightfully did. uber deducted a toll payment and adjusted the fare. that was probably the worse drive i've had so far. Your first mistake was stating google map sucks.... Anyway... I always get dumb uber rides on my way to the airport... next time I should just get a taxi limo instead of risky my flight on temperamental uber noobs. First one... drive 5 min... "Oh you going airport? I dont have money for tol blah blah" 2nd one... "I know a short cut!"... turns out he trying to skip some tol cost by going thru some small small road that is not even officially opened yet... rushing thru 101 bumps on his tiny (axia?) damn uncomfortable...

I hate Grab rider compared to Uber's. Every Grab rider is a nightmare/horror. From the smell, the attitudes, the singgah ATM, the 5 mins i'm coming (which usually takes 15 or more minutes). Fuck GRAB! Uber merge with Grab was the shittiest news i've had for years! fuck the merger. I'm not a happy stakeholders.

QUOTE(Kekikan @ Mar 6 2018, 12:42 PM) Recently, I booked a ride from the Gardens Hotel to get to KLIA, and my uber driver got caught in a traffic jam. That's understandable, since KL usually has bad traffic, but the driver actually couldn't find my location and drove past where I was waiting at the hotel taxi area twice!!! I had to wave frantically before I got her attention the third time around...  On the way to the airport, the driver took a wrong turn and got lost, which resulted in me missing my flight. It was so frustrating. Anyone ever meet with any uber/grab horror stories like that?? Please share here... QUOTE(coolstore @ Mar 8 2018, 01:17 PM) following waze also wrong in the eye of some rider as they have their own preference way and disregard waze claim it jam or not, still insist not jam go there, actually want to save a toll station. Waze i can tell u is damn stupid. Always always bring u the long way. U need to have abit of knowledge about the roads. U cannot follow waze 100%. |

Now i set my maximum waiting time at 7m. 3m before arrival i will call first say i have reach. give them 10minutes time. sometimes u get lemonade after eating some lime. somtimes my passenger will automatically give me tips say sorry for ur waiting time. some are not even 5m late at the first place. |

yesterday, finally migrated to grab..first day as grab driver..and it wasn't a pleasant start..
the first ride, i just passed the pickup point when request come in..i already know its behind me, but 1st ride, takkan i wanna ignore and 0% acceptance rate right? what to do, made a huge double u-turn and 15mins to get to the rider who was willing to wait...haii...
another nightmare ride, i was in sri petaling. got a ping for pickup at APU in Tech Park Malaysia. it wasn't very far, maybe 4-5km...but the traffic light was jammed up. ended up around 13 mins only reached pick up point.
i immediately call the rider and inform i'm waiting at the lobby. He said wait and i can hear in the background, he's discussing with his friends "How? the grab is here. do we take this or wait for the ambulance?" for a minutes they were discussing this and finally he told me he's coming.
i was like okiie....and a minute later, he showed up. but instead of getting into the car, he ask me to drive to the basement area, another pick up point...and he'll wait there. already a little boiling...but what to do right? so i drove there and waited another 3-4 mins. The guard then came to me and said i need to move on. So i called the rider again.
Around the same time i make the call, i can see the ambulance arriving. This time, a lady answer the call instead...and she just say, "ohh..u can cancel the ride, my ambulance is here" not even sorry...$#@%!@#$% WTF?!!
and since its grab...no cancellation fees applicable...what i get after spending 20+mins & 5km getting to the rider? cancellation rating of 12.5%
i was SOOOO %$#@$$ furious Vin Diesel would have to move aside... what the fark are we?
seriously...i don't know how grab drivers deals with cancellations since there's no compensation... riders like that matharfacker from APU can simply book, let the driver get here, THEN we see if we wanna take the ride. or, a group of friends can request rides all at the same time, and see which driver reach first and ass-fark the rest of the drivers otw to pick up...
in another word, without cancellation fees, these idiotic riders will not take it seriously..play-play, main-main.. and we drivers were deny earnings, lose precious time, money, fuel, and missed out on other potential rides.
over the course of 10 months & 1700+ rides with uber, i've encountered so many different type of cancelled rides.
1) request by mistake (??) they claim they never request
2) rider still very far away from pickup point...last minute forgot need to buy groceries after requesting a ride, or still in train some 10-15mins away
3) forgot they ordered both uber & grab and went home with the first 1 that got to him/her...
4) last minute got called up by boss while leaving office..
5) checking the traffic with me, if too jam then he/she rather take train..
6) wrong pick up location, mixed up pick-up and drop off point - terbalik
i'm pretty sure grab riders also similar, more so now that those uber riders are now grab riders...a few will call and apologize..but most will believe its their right to fark with drivers..these type of attitude really sickening..
i hope someone will start a petition to grab to impose cancellation fees on riders..totally farkup
