Yesterday I got one rider wanted to go to Sentul for meeting. Half way the meeting cancelled, she decided to go to PJ, which was nearer.

As this was a GS job, she couldn't change destination. I just dropped her off in PJ and collect the fare. Unfortunately I had to cancel another job, and my CR was affected.

How are these charges compared to rented taxi?

For those desperate Grab drivers, buy a car rather than rent from Grab.

Didn't know Grab routing mechanism is so intelligent...

Today I got a job to Pavilion KL. Drop off location was the 2nd entrance at Jalan Bukit Bintang.

When I was near there, a second job came in. Pickup location was Starhill, opposite Pavilion. Suddenly the drop off point of the first rider changed to the 1st entrance at Jalan Bukit Bintang. Had I dropped her off at 2nd entrance, I would miss Starhill.

The rider at Starhill was a Viet girl. She was wearing short pants, and sat beside me. Hard to concentrate laugh.gif

Now grabshare can share up to 4 person isn't it, so let say A book 2 person for grabshare ride but 1 person appear, the system will show left 2 seat for either 1 or 2 booking. So if B come in and put 2 person but 1 person hop in, effectively it will only have matching 2 jobs and no seat left, but inside car only have 2 passenger with 0% matching. This is how Singaporean abuse the system.

Since grabshare can go infinity mode, the chances of maximize income is lower.

I see...
Now I remember my GS job of last week also like that. Book for 2pax but only one showed up.
She went from one temple to another, seemed to be very religious, but she cheat doh.gif

feel like why not just incur the e-hailing insurance is enough dy, so mah fan bloody wasting a lot of resources. those taxi drivers need to attend class to become a taxi driver???!!!
why not crap take away the CR points and let us free to filter (day dream!) then i would happily go thru all the fussy money spending steps.

If Grab stops tracking CR, riders will go back to take taxi.

I am an occasional rider. Hopefully Grab won't assign my job to you dry.gif

My advice is just go uninstall the grab driver app, and go find something that will generate income, let it take it's course, I used to think driver grab is the answer, but hell no, feels good after gantung kunci for 6months d......

If you used to think driving grab is the answer, that was your problem.

When I was full time Uber driver, and later Grab driver, I never stopped looking for other jobs.

Now I have a full time job. I still do grab on part time basis. Not earning much, but enough to have a better meal than zap fan.

Am I feeling better now? Absolutely. Do I hate Grab? No.
Will I tell other drivers to look for better jobs? Absolutely. Will I tell them to gantung kunci even if they are jobless? No.

Hurm as far as im reading through the posts, i'll see first lah whether to quit grab or not after july. If more demand less drivers,i will continue then. Seriously i feel ping sendu these days..

Do you mean changing destination as a rider? Some trips, like grabshare ones, you are not allowed to change the destination.

Sounds really difficult, I wonder whether the exam is the same as previously taxi drivers taking? Or they make it super difficult for grab drivers?

It is hard to believe that taxi drivers, who claim they are too old to learn using smartphone, have higher passing rate for PSV exam than Grab drivers vmad.gif

I really do not know how some riders set their pickup location.

Yesterday I received a job. Pickup point was at Impian Bukit Tunku. The rider told me he was at Mydin Jalan Masjid India.

WTH, the names had nothing in common.

I checked Waze. Mydin was 2.9km away from the stated pickup point. ETA was 13 minutes.

I just waited 5 minutes and pressed cancel...

Anyone claim car windscreen insurance before? Is it we need to pay by ourself first then only claim from insurance company or can straight ask resit from workshop and make a claim (no need spend money from own pocket) I am on tight budget now. 😅 Any workshops for recommendation?

If you go to workshop appointed by your insurance company, then no need to pay.

Check with your insurance agent/company.

As I was searching for PSV class, I found this 2016 article...

QUOTE
The Public Service Vehicle (PSV) license may become history for cabbies early next year, The Sun reports. This means that anyone who wants to drive a conventional taxi or Uber/Grab car may soon need just a valid driving license and a registration with the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD), with no need to sit for the PSV license test.

Currently, Malaysians above 21 and with a valid driving licence have to apply for a PSV licence from JPJ before they can drive a bus or taxi. The free daily learned that SPAD has proposed to abolish the PSV licence only for taxi and app-based e-hailing drivers, and will replace it with a SPAD driver’s card system. Training, if any, will be provided in-house by the taxi or app companies.

This proposal is among 11 points under the e-hailing and transformation for taxi industry models being considered by the Cabinet, which includes the legalisation and regulation of Uber/Grab. It has received endorsement from the Special Economic Committee chaired by the PM three months ago, but needs parliament approval.

Obviously, the driving school operators are unhappy, saying they may lose up to RM90 million annually...

I have no idea about the car condition, but little scratches and dent should let it go. If too visible then yes u have to pay for it.

I can tell u most drivers will not pay for it and ask crap forfeit their deposit, then quit permanently.

Ytd while talking to one of the customer, he told me Grab driver quality is deteriorating year after year, he was using Uber/Grab alternatively in the past 3 years, then force to use Grab after the merger, he felt that Grab is lacking of training or system provided to drivers, that's why there is a vast difference of quality between Uber and Grab. This is not the first time i hear that and yet crap did not able to rectify the core issue of their quality. Oh ya forgot to say they still continue ban/warning drivers left and right. laugh.gif

Uber no training at all.
Grab, at least drivers are required to attend class.

Same here. I can't press the drop off button. CS is unavailable atm. Probably server down or something.

Fortunately Grab has fixed fate. Otherwise don't know how much to charge the riders.

Last time when my uber app could not connect to server, i could only ask the rider to pay the upfront estimated fare.

Each mechanism has its pros and cons.

Lol I'm not cutting ties with them yet.

We don't know what will happen in the future, so a contingency plan is very much needed especially nowadays 😅

By the way I've just wrote them a reply. Can't wait to hear soon from them 🤣

If you cut ties in good terms, you should be able to re-join grab in future, should a need arises.

But don't do silly things and get banned.
