Habis.
Grab no longer will sponsor the RM3 passenger no show cancellation fees.
Beware of picking up cash paying rider after this.
You will need to collect their previous-previous no show fees.
Just the way like Uber did the same method last time.

Good luck arguing and in your rating after this.

Lol, gg riders with so much incorrect pup, now is the time for them to look at the distance between themselves and pup, not simply open app enter destination and book. Most of them doesn't bother to check their pup and make drivers to find them around.

Good thing is they can't rate after paying RM3 penalty next ride, maybe they can rate but ratings doesn't affect you. Grab know riders gonna rage, very well lol.

I hope grab can implement a new feature that ping the rider actual gps location to driver, other than the pup booked. Just like the rider app can see driver car, because many riders are not local and doesn't know where the hell themselves are.

Maybe a new button "request rider location" on driver app job screen, then rider app will pop up a permission to "share current location", then after rider agree driver app will have a new pin location that is able to navigate via Waze etc.

And so it begins again. Driver accept request then don’t move for 5 minutes and then wait for rider to cancel or ask rider to cancel due to ‘jam’. Will be a field day for the drivers now. Ggwp crap.
*
Grab stated if drivers not moving no need pay penalty even after 5 minutes. Not sure about asking riders to cancel after 5 minutes due to jam, I guess you have to ask before 5 minutes now, else riders sure rage to CS for paying penalty.

I think they cannot tahan with the amount they have to compensate, imagine 1mil ride like this, putih putih give out RM3mil just for rider's attitude or other problem.

And yet it took 1 year after merger with Uber to implement such policy. Tambah another RM3 is just freaking difficult for the programmer.
*
Lol.

They actually tested the rider penalty system in SG for few months already, maybe some with hwz account can help ask if the penalty is included with fare.

They can't increase price or gov ask them close shop, one possible way is make it surge easier.

Cancellation fee is a stupid move? u try it on your own as driver and u will see a vast difference between Uber and Grab passenger behaviour. All the while Grab is paying all those cancellation on behalf of passenger, u think they want to continue subsidize something which not in their favour?
*
I hope grab reduce cancellation allowance time from 5 minutes to 1-3 minutes. Damage for 5 minutes can be too big. Imagine a rider make you go somewhere without u turn and ulu, once you get cancelled you have to drive very far to get out of dead zone for next job.

Hi sifus,

I'm newbie. My third week been a grabber.

Today, I was in this condo and 1 lady book for a multiple stop, straight away I get it and press i'm arrived within second. The thing is, the lady change her mind seconds after book. But instead of just cancelled it, she come down to lobby and order me to just drove away and press drop off where ever i want, so i will get the full fare instead of rm3 cancellation fee. I press drop off both at the same time.

Is it ok? Crap didnt overlook this thing?
*
Don't do it next time, on the pick up without passenger on board as you did. Too risky if she report and you have nothing to defend yourself.

Press both drop off together is fine, as long as you travelled quite a distance from pup.

So today I took a Grab ride just for the sake of it, because got some code thing.

The driver confirmed my view: only part timers that don’t want to spend time/money to go through regulation lose.

He asked me use the Grab app view how many cars waiting at Nadayu - it was 12 cars. Too many part time drivers now, make him as full time driver earn a lot less.

So he is happy about the upcoming regulation. A lot less competition. He’s probably thanking Anthony Loke every day.
*
That's what every full timers dream of, but we don't know how long the paradise will last. I'm sure grab will not let it happen for long, if seriously lack of drivers, they will do whatever they can to help/support drivers into fulfilling regulations.

From what I read in this thread so far, Grab is willing to make it as easy as possible for drivers to go through regulation. Classes will need to be attended (Grab trying to get permit to teach the classes instead of asking drivers to go outside driving school), cars will need to be checked (Grab trying to help those cars less than 3 years old to avoid Puspakom). But seems like the concern of part time drivers in this thread are all about money on insurance and time required for classes lol, which both can’t be helped by Grab.

Who knows, maybe not much difference also after regulation. I read got a lot retrenchment going on recently. Maybe those will become full time driver and fill the gap left by part time drivers.
*
It depends on how much it cost yearly, even if it cost RM1000 per year, part timer who make more than RM12000 per year will still be joining. Grab is one of the easiest income for those without profession. As long as it makes more than minimum salary, lots of people will still prefer to be their own boss.

So guys.. now its not a good time to be a good Grab driver anymore? Been reading the past 5 pages, and all i see someone arguing lol.

Im thinking to start next week, and doing this as a part time job to pay for my new car. But still on booking fees la. Should i pull out from this? Need advice. Thanks.
*
You can do it part time no problem, as long as not full time. But using your new car or? Depends how much you sayang your new car 😂 If you purposely buy a new car to do it part time then of course NO, even many full timers who bought a new car regret now

It is because MOT give too much freedom to them after monopoly. In Singapore they are not allowed to reduce driver's incentives after monopoly. Grab afraid it will happen in Malaysia also that's why they stop publishing weekly incentives updates on websites but choose to send to every driver's app. One day if there are too much drivers all incentives might be gone, because there are still people who will be completing the jobs. Too bad we don't have drivers association to sound to MOT.

Yesterday I got a job to Pavilion. Traffic along Jln Bukit Bintang was very slow. One of the culprits: dozens of taxis which were parked alongside the road, occupying one whole lane vmad.gif

If we eliminate taxi traffic there would be better laugh.gif

Kena cancel at the last minute at peak hrs and jam time. Rider cancel at the 4th minute. Kena 2 Times just now.
So, Grab really need to look at this. 5 mins to long. We kena sangkut jam, and riders cancel takut we reach late.

At peak hrs, best is 1 min if rider want to cancel. That one minute, enough for them to make the decision. After 1 min, cancel, penalty RM3
*
I would say 1 minutes after start moving, but impossible lol. Now riders know they gonna get charged after 5 minutes, so gotta expect more cancellations before 5 minutes...

Kena this one before, u complain also useless and CS will use copy paste template to reply u. As for the other, it could be rider cancel at 4.00-4.59 time stamp.

Want grab change? Easy. Outsource a job to China botters, spam fake bookings (maybe in hundreds or thousands at once throughout Malaysia/Singapore), cancel before 5 minutes. No need response msg/call and all these can be programmed easily 😄 Powerful and effective protest.

today got one ping by rider bangla. Pup show but drop off is a pin location. so i called him, "Halo, mana you mau pergi". The bangla replied, " to nucleus tower". so i say "mana tu". The bangla then replied, you pakai gps la, saya hari hari pakai pin location. Ok, i shut off the phone immediately and eventually he cancel the trip. Is it common to use pin location drop off? What's the point of doing so? IS it cheapskate rider wanna save money or for what reason...i dunno rclxub.gif
*
I don't think so, if he put an address but wanna go further some drivers will charge extra, maybe he experienced this if he is a frequent riders. Some will even drop him wherever he pin and ask him walk. If he put pin location just follow GPS and drop him exactly where he pin, if wrong location ask him change location (RM2 extra somemore) or charge him extra for changing dop. If you feel safe to do the ride I would say go for it.

Heard it from taxi drivers too, even taxi who go puspakom twice a year also have to hire runner to settle for them. And they need you to remove all tinted, even your tinted (glass + tint) is below 70/50/30 they can make you fail also. If you go by yourself you might waste long time and fail, in the end need few retest and waste more time/money. Just hire a runner to settle it in one go since they got lubang / know how to negotiate.

Oh the perks of being a loyal lembu? Sorry I mean Grab driver....you'll get shitty rider  with ridiculous demand, high car maintenance from your own pocket, fare ciput, ping sendu, then all the sudden u got banned for no reason, how's that sound to you?

Just kidding, you got 10%discount for Texas chicken, mesra points for fuel rebates, free iflix to watch, high car maintenance which I've mentioned (price not cheap tbh) ampang bowling to blow of steam wink.gif

It is inhumane to ban someone innocent, especially if he bought new car for grab. I wonder what is the ban process in grab office? Any investigation/report needed before someone/team make a decision? Do they ask you for explanation?

But I think they are giving too much mercy to those modded users, they are abusing the platform at the cost of others but they weren't instantly permanent banned. This is just a signal that it is always OK to use a modded app, you will never get banned for it even if you got caught. Modders SHOULD BE permanently banned even on first offense.
