PnL

From there, deduct RM1k as emergency saving, then the rest are to spend on food

Not going to drive February at all because of planned vacation to Hanoi so yeah, based on this, I think driving Grab full time is reasonable if you don't have loan commitments, isn't looking to get rich quick, and value flexibility of time.

I did achieve the main goal of driving Grab instead of full time employment, which is spending more quality time with wife. There are still some concerns about doing this for the next couple years, but we'll decide after Grab announce the PSV thing, as in how they will go about it

Currently the decision is resume driving Grab full time in March after done with vacation

As for the calculation of toll, Grab counts it toward your collected gross, and you need to pay TnG for top up. So accounting wise, it has to be shown even though they cancel each other out.

Could this be the case.
Does anyone here had an experience like this.

This happenned at Penang Island this afternoon.

A Japanese Rider wanted to go to Penang Airport from Georgetown. I was on auto accept and acknowledged the ping as I was less than 0.8 km away from the pickup.The payment mode was cash payment. When I reached there about 2 minutes later the rider was missing.
When I asked someone standing there, she said a japanese got into another car a few seconds earlier. I called the rider a few times and nobody replied, I needed to wait for 5 min to tag the passenger no show.
I could not accept the another passenger there until the 5 min timeout.Although Grab reimbursed for the no-show.
I will go to the Grab office tomorrow on this issue.
Is stealing pings rampant??

The case is pu point at condo. Waze reach destination at guard house.
Upon arrival then only rider ask to come lobby or go in to their blocks via sms.

My worries is if I ignore the SMS, will I get SMS from grab. If I follow the rider SMS, then I feel like get cheated because the fare starts at the guard house especially the 5 RM fare. Go in additional millage plus the delay at the guard house.

For last week , I only drove on Monday which stood at 50% cancellation rate.

Never bothered to drive after that as I got SMS stating that this week I will be suspended if i continue cancellation from last week.

though i am a part time here. but for net RM5K, i think is achievable if u really drive from 6am to 10am, 4pm to 10pm, 7 days a week, even for normal crapcar.... (basically no life)

other hour, is charity especially for crapcar or crapplus...
traffic is equally heavy for most part of city centre but fare is sucks
worse is, for short distance, crapplus is only RM1-2 difference...

no wonder all camp at airport better...

Hi sifus. My dad has recently picked up driving grab. He cant read english and seem to struggle on how to use the app. Already made few errors and got complained. He is however very determined to learn. Is there a grab center or help center for step by step guide? I cant ride in the vehicle with him to learn and operate the app when he picks up customer. I called the center and they told me there are no channel to help. He has to learn by himself. Sigh

Thank you. Very helpful!
Dad retired from being chef. Find retirement boring. Want to do somethg to pass day to day. Grab can start and stop anytime.
Sorry mr 20k. Dont worry dad just wanna learn and use it to fill up time. Nobody waiting for his grab income to eat meals. Calm down sir.

Today, I picked up one passenger..

Me: Good morning Mr. Robert (bukan nama sebenar)
Passenger: Morning.
Me: So where are you heading to today? *smiling*
Passenger: I have made the request via app. Can't you read?
Me: Of course I can read. I am asking because I need to verify that I am picking up the right passenger. As you can see and read from the apps in your  phone, you have my full name, my car type, car registration number,  car color and heck, even my passport photo is there. In the other hand,  I have nothing except your name Robert, that is not even your full name and your destination. As far as our safety is my concern, your verification is needed before I agree to step my gas paddle and send you off to anywhere you have requested In the apps. I might have pickup a wrong person rather than the real Robert whom requested the ride via the apps at the first place. Now is that too much for me to ask?
Passenger: Jalan Imbi, KL.
Me: Thank you very much. Please buckle up and let's go.

Why Malaysian love being dickhead?

I have to press 'drop off' before the Call Us option available on the screen. And the GRAB Helpline operator said I should not end the ride, so he could cancel the trip. I think GRAB has no idea how their app's works.
