Lol looking at the replies here

Reminds me of when Uber and Grab started promo war

Aunties and uncles were amazed that they only pay RM5 for RM18 journey

How can like that???? Driver lose money!!!! Petrol expensive!!!!

Well, breaking news, Uber/Grab actually pays the driver full amount, regardless of your promo fare price.

So think of this as promo code. Except, it’s built into your Grab app, autodetects destination/pick up location, checks that you are Malaysian (through eventual implementation of signing up with IC), if it all works out then voila you get promo fare instead of the full fare

Driver still gets paid the full amount - government subsidise the balance of your fare

Which is a better gauge of usage or wastage through data collected, than dumping money into bus and seeing nothing
