The new app is MyCar and they call themselves the 3rd e-hailing force. It works just like Uber or Grab, and there’s the option to leave a message to the driver before you book a ride. Development had started in September last year and the platform went live on 1st February 2018. Registration is fairly easy as it requires a verified mobile number, name and email address. The app is available on both Android and iOS.

hrrmm..surprisingly.. online info is a little confusing..

MMOnline

here it says its fare is similar to Grab and Slightly more expensive than Uber..

i did my own checking and comparing with Uber, its a lot cheaper, like 20-30% cheaper..probably due to surge

and it also mentioned fare is estimated and may change depending on traffic etc...but on its website, its mentioned fixed fare and no dynamic pricing... rclxub.gif

then there's no info on the fare breakdown, like how much per km, per min, base fare etc...only thing mentioned is RM5 min fare...and their comms is 12-15% from fare...

driver website "coming soon" hrrmm.....

I just compare it with both rider apps with same place. Time I did the comparison is non really traffic jam time around 2.30pm.

Cyberjaya to Serdang - grab 27, my car 47
Cyberjaya to ioi Puchong - can't remember but mycar was more rm2

Was just comparing from rider perspective to find cheaper alternative because I'm been hearing mycar is cheaper than grab but i can't notice unless only specific destination which I don't normally go to.

Telling everyone the truth, this is the reality. Majority drivers driving other e-hailing program because:

1. They are Grab ban driver (can be actual offense made before or can also be innocently ban). They no longer got alternative therefore other e-hailing is their only choice.

2. Teksi driver.

The reason Grab could beat Uber was because of money from Softbank.
If Mycar is not backed by big investors it can't challenge Grab.

errr...Softbank is also Uber's largest shareholder.

i believe uber exits market becos it was over its head when it planned a world domination, fighting, competing & investing in every part of the world.
it wasn't 100% failed plan, i mean, if they sit in their own backyard only, rest of world (like grab) will come out with their own version of uber and uber will be too late to enter that market once its matured. so it needs to makes its presence felt in every part of the world.

ultimately, all startup want to attract investors. uber did that with flying colors.

plus they have this huge ambition of investing in self-driven cars, not without sense. same like DIDI's plan for the future where almost everything is automated.

well, its a lot of money to be spent in R&D of this super new & ambitious tech. just like tesla, they'd be burning tons of cash before a single meaningful successful experiment.

and most important of all, uber did not 'just' close shop in SEA. it is now a shareholder of Grab & Didi.

so it can concentrate on its own backyard & plan while still have its presence in rest of the world.

if i were softbank, i also dun want the 'brothers' to keep fighting for 1 pie and both ended up with crusts only.

keep the pie already in hand and go grab (no pun intended) another pie from somewhere else, and/or defend the pie someone else is trying to fight for.

I believe the reason why Uber failed here is because it didn't take into account local rider situation. Not allowing driver to see rider's destination AND having no minimum fare is unworkable here. This resulted in riders calling Uber for RM1 and RM2 rides which incur losses to drivers especially if they have to pay toll to reach the rider. Uber did not expect that due to our hot climate and local laziness to walk many call for short rides of less than 1 km. Grab is a homegrown product so it is more savvy and avoided Uber's mistake.

some flaw in your statement there. Regardless of the fare is 1/2 or even free, uber will still reward the driver directly. secondly, the toll fare is already included in the trip together, without the need to manually add like grab, that is one good integration I can say, there some minor times it is not accurate but they will simply credit back after one just report to them.

The laziness part is very subjective. back in the ol' days when there was still taxi only available, folks use to walk to the main street to get a taxi. so it's all about perception and mindset plus attitude.

I'm not talking about promo codes and free trips which Uber will reimburse the driver. I'm talking about short trips which cost more for the driver to get there than he earns in fares. Uber is not going to compensate the driver for this.

The toll incurred going to fetch the rider is paid by the driver.
