It doesn't say the man was a grab driver.

It was confirmed the body was found. Inalillah. Condolences to the victim's family. Hope justice prevails. It was not confirmed whether he was assaulted during grabbing or not. But if it is,  crap will kena bombard. First the Selayang incident, now this. Stay safe fellow grabber

If a Grab driver goes on vocation, and the plane crashes, Grab is still going to be held responsible by all the unhappy drivers biggrin.gif

I recommend all drivers try taking a grabcar as rider few times. then only you can make a fair statement whether grab indeed biased to rider or driver.
*
The fact is: Grab is still losing money. It can't please everybody - drivers, riders, employees, management, investors.

If it gives better bonus to the drivers, and more promo to the riders, there will be no increment for the staff, let alone bonus.

Investors? They haven't got dividend yet.

Regarding Grab calling drivers...
I use my secondary phone for grabbing. When I am offline, I often don't bother to turn on the phone.

Grab should really keep our alternate phone numbers.

the other day a passenger left his iphone charger in my car.. i didn't realise it until CS called me to ask if it was ok to release my phone number to him.. so i said okay.. waited about a day and he did not call me.. so i called CS to get his name. i picked him up from his hotel but i forgotten his name, in the app also his name was removed.. i could just have returned to him but CS said cannot release his name to me.. so now i am in receipt of his charger because it was probably a hassle for him to go to PJ just to collect a cheap charger when he is just a tourist with limited time in KL..

I have this experience...
A rider left his headset in my car. I informed Grab about this.

A few weeks later the rider contacted me, wanting to get back the headset. I asked him to collect it at near my office.

The rider told me he was a lawyer working in Singapore. He just return to Malaysia.

A lawyer working in Singapore, but couldn't afford to buy a new headset doh.gif
The headset wasn't high quality stuff. His Grab fare to my office probably cost as much as a new one.

to get a runner to settle need 1k  bangwall.gif

dunno whether they will give leeway for grab drivers or not, most likely not cause taxi > all here in malaysia

For full timers, paying a runner 1k is worth it. But for part timers that's too much bangwall.gif

if u and me can think after 12/7, fare will surge everywhere due to driver shortage.....
probably u and me are not the only one think like that...a lot other think so too...common sense only mah
reverse psychology...end result may not be what we think...just maybe

Surge capped at 2x.
But it may be easier to get jobs during off peak hours. That could be the good thing.

Decide to bite the bullet and pay 700 for the runner. Fuck Anthony loke really.

Plus side is, probably less drivers on the road on July means more mega whales for everyone hopefully can offset this cost

Just a thought:
How about remove the tint before heading to Puspakom? After passing inspection reinstall tint which complies to the regulations.

That way, you endure one time pain rather than having to pay for runners every year.

For nearly two years, I top up credit wallet with epay for the first time.

These two days most of my jobs were cash payment ones, with very little TBB and promo.

It's not about the brand. It's about the VLT of the tint, which you can choose.

For example, regulations say that VLT of the windscreen is 70%. To be safe, choose 80% for the tint.

The pull of the shopping malls in KL was strong over the Raya holidays sweat.gif

Yesterday my first job (in the afternoon) was to KLCC. The riders were two Indo guys. The jam towards KLCC was terrible.

The second job was to pick up riders at Petronas Tower 2. Because the security guards close the road, I ask the riders to come to KLCC entrance, which they agreed. But before they came, the guard was giving me trouble sweat.gif
The riders were Tionghua Indo vacationing in KL.

After a few jobs, I got another one to KLCC. This time the riders were Bangla. I quickly toggled to not available, and asked to drop off the riders by the roadside. I explained to them that it was faster to walk than to be stuck in the heavy jam.

Half an hour later I got yet another job to KLCC. This time I gave up, and pressed Cancel bangwall.gif

P/S
In between I got a PRC rider going to Pavilion. The traffic was slow but still much better compared to KLCC.

Yesterday (Friday) evening I waited at LRT station but couldn't get a job.

Today half of all my jobs had RM5 fares. Fortunately got a bit of TBB to cover up.

Overall, it is not very profitable doing grab this Raya season.
