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...

instead of limo, u should've tried uberBlack...but of course, its your choice entirely...

ride-hailing drivers may not be professional drivers...which is why the rates are much cheaper than professional limo/taxi drivers.

why would drivers wanna skip any tolls since rider's the one paying them? unless of course his/her touch & go card 0 balance...which never happened to me/most drivers

go google maps, tried to route a direction from Menara Shell in Jalan Tun Sambanthan to Aloft KL Sentral..then u will understand what i mean.

also, if u drive 300km per day everyday for months, going north-south-east-west..u will also learn to appreciate waze is better than maps...
