I would to thank to all you guys who have been helping me in this thread for over a year.

I've made a decision that I won't be a Grab driver anymore. It was one hell of a ride, the good the bad and everything in between. I surely have learned a lot from my experience and from yours too, and it's something that I won't trade for anything else, except for a million ringgits or two 😂

I would like to wish all the best to everyone's future endeavour, as long it's good and honest. May God help us, amin.

Take care and stay safe. And don't forget to help those who are in need too 😊

Good luck.

If you have a fantastic business idea, but need partners, do PM me biggrin.gif

Was at NSK Kuchai Lama this evening. Lots of Grab drivers...

Many Muslims went there for pre-Ramadan shopping.

4. putrajaya/cyberjaya + semenyih
5. south kv + klia area
6. west kv

For me that will be outside KV and Genting Highlands.

so what is your opinion and feedback so far?

TBH AA cannot be use all the time lah, especially off peak hour. RM0.40 per minute doesn't make a difference either u on AA or non-AA.
*
It has been a while since I drive during off peak hours. One thing I like about AA is it is less stressful - I don't need to look at the job info and make quick decision while I am driving.

I would say accept first. If really cannot tahan press the Cancel button. But make sure to keep the CR in check.

This link is to the post in this thread showing another driver other than me getting compensated for low TBB

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=92216492

The so called "complain" is feedback for trip, select "fare too low". Not calling to their CS and scold them. biggrin.gif If enough drivers do this, they will review to see if you are earning less than the projected amount for the trip
*
This one I didn't feedback. Somehow Grab proactively compensated me.

Saturday morning - traffic is clear but all the job is without surge, manage to get net RM51 for 2 hrs (8-10am).

Saturday & sunday evening would be a better time to drive, manage to get net about RM35-40 per hour.

First job is really tough to secure, i drive around Subang/Mentari yet no job, then drive to paradigm mall only secure to get one into KLCC. From there the momentum come and it was unstoppable.
*
Peak hours is usually like that. First job need to wait. After that non-stop, if you are on b2b.

But if you toggle to unavailable when ferrying riders, and only change back to available after drop-off, need to wait again.

So, can I assume that you WILL ignore RM 5 cash rides and choose higher rates or GrabPay RM 5 rides right? And also, I can imagine that your AR = 50% - 60% and CR = 5% - 10%?

I'm trying to get as much input as possible to maximize my revenue and decrease time spent on the road.
*
RM5 job at a jam-free area vs. RM20 job to KLCC, which one would you choose?

yes exactly, i need to circle for 5-10mins to hunt for first job, after that everything will be good. Imagine last week thursday i have to circle half round at bangsar, then go to midvalley circle 2 round only secure the first job. It took me almost 20mins to get first job. It happen more and more frequent right after TB is announce.

The grab system is very very complex now, they look at your average fare earning and drop off point, then only decide your next job. Don't forget they will allocate priority job to grab rental, if they cannot cari makan, grab will be in trouble, it does make sense to let them take the ping first. U can try off b2b and then online back, u need to hunt for the job.
*
Drop off point is definitely an important consideration.

In one occasion, when I was ferrying a rider, I got another job. The pick up point of the 2nd job was the same as the drop off point of the 1st job. (It was a service apartment.)
Due to heavy jam, it took me 30 min to complete the first job. Pity the riders of the 2nd job, who had to wait for me.

If Grab had assigned the 2nd job to another driver, the riders probably would not wait that long.

BTW the riders of the 2nd job were PRC. They were very polite and didn't make noise despite waiting for that long.

I don't know what will happen after July but for current situation your income is base on luck no up or mp slot even in some very high demand area you also need to wait like 20-30 minutes to get a job , mp up slot if you bad luck you spend 10 minutes to pick up point then wait 5 minutes pax no show you cancel get RM3 the next job come in RM 5 with TBB RM5 but the job finish around 30 minutes means your mp slot gone already , this situation always happen to me , so yeah I drive 2 year non stop already since grab start ths AA TBB shit pray for god is better than asking what strategy in forum

Grab is not the only job that needs luck. If you do sales you'd know.

yesterday evening didn't go and pick up a rider (booked under GC+), i message him 'stucked in a jam", so i waited for him to cancel lahhhh, but then he didn't.... insist wanna wait for me! saying that if i didnt go and pick him up he will report to Crap!...
even after one hour also he didn't cancel the booking, i surrender and cancel, my cr increase!
Will i be kena warning by crap? or banned ?

Not sure what action will Grab take.

But if you don't feel like taking a job, just cancel rather than playing tricks.

You wasted one hour yesterday. If you cancel immediately, you could have completed another job or two within that period.

It's not that our BM is bad.
It's just that we are not familiar with the jargons in BM.

If you remove tint now and reinstall later, it's gonna burn a hole in your pocket.

For full timers this is fine. But for part timers...

Their actions are an obvious outcome for an incentive structure that ignores the human need — living wages — of the people whose labor created the value for ride-sharing platforms.


Unfortunately, it is about market economy.

And the author is foolish in stressing the valuations of Uber and Lyft, without mentioning that both are still in red.
