I have some questions,
How does the button works for the driver to press that he has arrived at the pick up location.
how does this button work?
I have a case the driver pressed that he has arrived but he is actually 8 mins away from pick up point. In the chat, he says please wait and there is traffic and he is on the way.
As i suspect the driver might be able to take advantage of the cancelling fee (think this was discussed somewhere in lowyat forum), so i just took a few pictures of the Grab booking screen with the background location showing that i have been waiting at the pick up location.
So it really turn out the the trip is cancelled, as the rider (that is me) didn't show up at the pick up location.
I am wondering, did the driver cancel it or this is auto cancelled?
Anyway I have submitted a feedback to Grab and waiting for reply.

driver doesnt want to complete the job, but not willing sacrifices his cancel rate.
so he just wait 5min n cancel can get free RM3 n wont get punishment.
outdated tricks. usually when i book n i see driver not moving. i will msg him : do u want me to call 1300 88 6688? they direct cancel

The cancellation charges will not kick in. Coz the driver did not arrive at the pick up point.
Yes, he can press "I've arrived", but Grab GPS will still detect the driver located far away and will prompt another confirmation message "Are you sure". If the driver click on "Yes", then after 5 mins or forever, the passenger no show option will not be available. Even if eventually the driver made it to the pick up point, will be useless also. Coz the cancellation option will not be available. This is a feature being in place by Grab to prevent driver from gaming and earn those cheap RM3 cancellation fees.
The driver cancellation rate will increase in your scenario.
