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 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. |

i took a rider from pavilion and he wanted to get to an area near mytown. at jalan tun razak, reaching near mytown, instead of taking left turn, i took right turn into MEX highway, because waze didnt tell me which way to turn. because of that, i have to drive all the way to bukit jalil, then turn back to KL. what a looonnnggggg turrnnnn!!! i was frustrated coz of my fault, and also the rider knew the way but kept silent about it.
the rider slap his forehead right after i took the wrong turn, the atmosphere in the car went intense. but after a few minutes, he cool things down by starting a small chat with me. i refuse to take any money, but he insist paying. i even get a 'navigation expert' after the trip LOL |

If we pandai-pandai use short cut, the rider might say we try to cheat them, especially if foreigners "why ur not using Waze??"most of the time i'll ask the rider if its ok i follow directions given by Waze... some riders also tried to be smart and use a way which they tot was faster/shorter but end up longer due to unexpected jam... Waze not perfect, sometimes tried to be too smart for its own good...i remember once on a trip to KLIA, it points me to drive to INSIDE the runway but its the next best thing really |

Uber/Grab drivers are not professional taxi drivers. You want cheap, you get cheap. Personally I will not book Uber/Grab for important trips like catching a flight.

Please share here... What time u take the grab and what time is your flight? I would say she not expert. Can't blame her Everytime I go to airport I will reach there early 3hr. Anything can happen on the road, eg: accident cause jam or car breakdown or ppl hit your car which cause miss your flight. If you time it ngam ngam, better take train. But she safely send u to the airport that's the 1st priority and not con you. I would appreciate got ppl do grab and uber, imagine the rider has high expectation and rate lower star even though driver do no harm or threaten. Eventually the driver exit the industry then u all have to take the taxi. |

driver here. worst passenger i had was one black african lady who ate her fried chicken in car
fucking never clean hands before opening the door. spent 20 minutes parked at the roadside frantically cleaning the oily mess after dropping her off. also once, missed the small sudden entrance to one hongkie rider's condo, had to make one big turn, kena kaobeh like shit in canton by the hongkie auntie saying shit like gonna rain la need to collect clothes la. yesterday also kena one fucker just asked u whether can wait for 10 mins as he wanna go to bank halfway into the trip for a rm 5 trip, i just drop him at the bank, collect fare and went off. by far the most chillest passengers are the arabs. driving grab really test ur patience. |

for a rider, the most important thing is to reach safely and within reasonable timr
for a driver, we expect a smooth rider. but many sohai will leave handphone, ask to stop at 7-11, atm, or ask to wait for 5-10 minutes. if they ask before a pick up, i will ask them cancel. but many dont say it first, only when i press pick up then they ask. cheapskate |

Sometime waze direction may slightly away from your spot. However, u do know where exactly is the driver because u can see the exact car location in real time. So is it so hard to signal your driver when u see him/her?Anyone ever meet with any uber/grab horror stories like that?? Please share here... |

Ugh. uber app recently started having this 'live location sharing' thingy for riders, which is even worse than without it. Imagine, rider is inside a building, it makes it almost impossible for GPS to pinpoint location. u can see the location jump from block to block...its actually quite simple, rider choose the pickup point, and can adjust it further by moving the location pin...and then be where u selected as pickup point. 1 pick-up from Taylors' Uni in sunway. the asshole was still in class room when he ordered uber. obviously GPS cant detect him and uber pick his nearest location, which is the other end of the usual pickup point. after i reached the pickup point shown in app only he called me to say he's in a different place. Also, i hope riders can be a little smarter when requesting a ride. instead of being lazy-ass and just use the 'Current Location' as pickup point, type in the name of the building. it makes life a hell lot easier and pick up can be hell lot faster. When rider select the default 'current location' it can says 1208 Jalan Sultan Ismail...i believe most ppl don't know where the fark 1208 Sultan Ismail is. But if u spend another 3 seconds and type in Shangri-la Hotel, everyone is clear. If there's no clear building name, then the least u can do is drop the driver a msg and say things like "i'm in front of KFC" or "I'm opposite 7-11" too many times those dumb-ass riders request for a ride, use 'current location' as pickup point, when they still inside their condo unit. GPS can easily mistaken it for next condo, next street, next house whatever. don't expect the GPS to pin u while ur sitting in the damn toilet when pick up from condo, msg the driver ur unit number, where to pick up (lobby or guard house). sometimes, when reach guard house, guard will request for unit number. driver tried to call rider and can't get through cos rider is in the freaking lift. and few more cars behind u trying to come in also. its' really frustrating. QUOTE(yhtan @ Mar 14 2018, 09:59 AM) Gardens Hotel is quite hard to spot especially for newbie driver. She could have mix up with St Giles Hotel which is Gardens Hotel i think. U should call her and tell her shop name instead. tell me about it. until now, i still get very anxious when pick up from Gardens. There's north, south, st.giles, malls...and most riders don't bother to msg & say exactly where they are. and worse is, once u passed the pickup point, have to make a huge turnaround.that row can have entrance for Garden North, Garden Residences, Garden Mall & Garden Hotel. Same to Midvalley has 4 entrance - East, South, North and Centre. Btw that is not horror story, more like a unfortunate case. Midvalley is still ok..so far for me, pickup at MV is easier cos u get to select pick up point. Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Plan B, Toast Box, Northpoint...these are the usual pick up locations and its easy to spot. |

One of mine is not a HORROR story but a FUNNY one.
An middle eastern wanted to go CYBERJAYA. I reached his pick up point and he entered my car. He said go Cyberjaya and I started trip and then see his location is a bit funny. GPS said ROUTE NOT FOUND.... Further checking then only know he keyed in WRONG DROP OFF POINT. His Drop Off Point was CYBER JAY which is located in FRANCE. The fare is RM12000. Stupid Rider !!!! |

if you are going for airport with public transport we can't just estimate 1-2 hour ealry
we should estimate more time for that, because we can't magazine what happen at the highway and what is the status for the traffic For safety i usually will arrive airport 3-4 hour earlier and hang out at there Rather than rushing and worry missing flight. |

QUOTE(Wan+ @ Mar 15 2018, 07:49 PM) One of mine is not a HORROR story but a FUNNY one. i had similar experiences. pick up from Sunway pyramid, and he wanna go SS13 only. somehow, on app, its shown as S13 which is somewhere in the UK An middle eastern wanted to go CYBERJAYA. I reached his pick up point and he entered my car. He said go Cyberjaya and I started trip and then see his location is a bit funny. GPS said ROUTE NOT FOUND.... Further checking then only know he keyed in WRONG DROP OFF POINT. His Drop Off Point was CYBER JAY which is located in FRANCE. The fare is RM12000. Stupid Rider !!!! i couldn't cancel the trip, he also couldn't change his destination for some reason... at the end, i just follow his direction and drive him there. another time, pick up from Tropicana, it says 'long distance' and when start trip, i confirm with riders if they are going JB. and they go 'WHAT??!' they actually just wanna go nearby, but every time enter the address, it points to JB. few times she tried to change the destination, and same result. at the end, just drive according to their direction and drop off. i think that kinda take away my long distance quota allocation for the week...cos even tho the fare was like 5mins and RM10, it still says my dropped off point is in JB. |

QUOTE(wa1k3r @ Mar 19 2018, 03:09 PM) if only. 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.problem with these novice riders, they don't understand the map, maybe they not bothered moving the pin. and definitely lazy to say where they are precisely. imagine LRT station, mostly have at least 2 exit. it doesn't kill u to tell the driver which exit ur at. rider can easily walk across 2 exits, but for drivers, it might mean a HUGE u-turn to get to the other side. this one rider was champion. i asked him which LRT exit, he replied 'the left exit' i was like wtf?! pure dumb-a$$ |

QUOTE(wa1k3r @ Mar 9 2018, 10:30 AM) if rider has got a preferred route/short cut, then rider should point it out to the driver. we driver can't possibly be familiar with all roads and know all short cuts. If we pandai-pandai use short cut, the rider might say we try to cheat them, especially if foreigners "why ur not using Waze??" dont try to justify incompetency... you're paid to take me to point A to point B.most of the time i'll ask the rider if its ok i follow directions given by Waze... some riders also tried to be smart and use a way which they tot was faster/shorter but end up longer due to unexpected jam... Waze not perfect, sometimes tried to be too smart for its own good...i remember once on a trip to KLIA, it points me to drive to INSIDE the runway but its the next best thing really |

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... Your first mistake was stating google map sucks....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. 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... 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%. |

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 |

So far i haven't use Uber service before, most of the time i use Grab service。
Grab's app is more easy to use and so far the drivers are very good for me and the fee is very reasonable. |

title shows horror stories at first i thought referring to paranormal experience when driving at night haha. manatau riders are far more horrible than ghost. fussy (when paying peanuts), inconsiderate, unhygienic. no wonders many times when i take grab can see full of dried liquid stain on their rear seat, which is disgusting.

Grab's app is more easy to use and so far the drivers are very good for me and the fee is very reasonable. last week, from Midvalley to Cheras. it was 12km trip and fare was RM20 (non-peak hour) and rider told me she normally pays RM30+ sometimes RM40+ even during non-peak hour. if uber, i believe its more like RM15-18 non peak only. this morning, rider told me from PJ state to paradigm mall, on uber is RM23..and on grab, RM30+ she used to pay RM3 with uber for her short trip (LRT to office) but now, its RM5... i've had riders who swear uber cheaper, but also countless who say grab is always cheaper. well, no more comparison now. i'm glad ur happy with grab. QUOTE(tokyo2020 @ Apr 10 2018, 12:54 AM) unless there's a new player as strong as uber, then i dont see how grab's position can be shaken.cancellation fees don't apply to 'real' riders. only riders who play-play...if you're serious bout a ride, why need to cancel? why wait till they're late before ordering a ride? we're not rider's private-hire full time driver. we don't wait at the lobby for you until the moment u need a ride. its called ride-sharing for a reason. and riders should know very well it takes time for drivers to get to them. if riders can't wait 10 mins for a ride, especially during rush hour, then may god bless them all. all these 'expectations' while willing only to part with a few bucks....jezz... also it works both way. riders need drivers and vice-versa. grab needs to take care of drivers too since we're their tools. if drivers only at the losing end constantly, its a little unfair don't u think? |
