QUOTE(Ginny88 @ Apr 13 2018, 12:36 PM) 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. Uber had local management. The fact that it accepted cash payment and offered Chinese speaking drivers in certain cities were two examples of local adaptation.As for short trips, Quest helped to offset the loss to some extent. On the other hand, Grab drivers need to maintain certain percentage of Acceptance Rate so it's not that they can be very choosy. The chief reason drivers prefer Grab was because of better incentives, and that's because of Softbank money. Uber did eventually get Softbank investment but it's too late... |

QUOTE(Ginny88 @ Apr 13 2018, 01:54 PM) 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. actually, the uber system is a smart & fair app. i notice quite obviously, app will not send u a high value trip the minute u go online. u usually have to start with ikan bilis fares..a few trips and then uber will throw u a high value trip. i think many ex-uber driver can confirm this.The toll incurred going to fetch the rider is paid by the driver. which is why sometimes its a wonder why uber will send me 10km and 15 mins pick up trip in a hot-spot area...i can't be the nearest or the only driver around. 6/10 times, these far pickup rides are those high value ones. and the cycle repeats throughout the day and week. and uber compensate these far pick ups with its trip incentives. there's also min fare on uber which is chicken shit RM3. with good incentives, each trip is worth RM2-3 more..effectively, the fares are almost commission free. damnn...i think i miss the uber app real bad.... |

QUOTE(AskarPerang @ Apr 7 2018, 12:31 AM) Telling everyone the truth, this is the reality. Majority drivers driving other e-hailing program because: ...or former Viva drivers for Uber1. 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. Main reason drivers left Uber (not necessarily joined Grab) is inclusion of cash payment and withdrawal of ability to see destination. This post has been edited by cylon: Apr 18 2018, 01:08 PM |
