If you buy the car for own use as well, then go ahead.

If you buy new car solely for grab, no. Even without new regulation, it is no advisable to do so as our drivers can get suspended or ban by grab

I disagree. I personally bought a new car for Grab. But at that time I was jobless. Plus, my old car was already heavy on maintenance. A little bit of earning is better than none. It also kept me occupied, which helped ease my depression.

But if you resign from a job which pays you RM4k to do grab full time, that's a no no - old car or new.

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

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.
*
What Grab Malaysia did was it increased fare but reduced incentive. Earning per job is not much different.
Some drivers are so used to HG they always think incentive must be more than fare.

I explained before Grab was losing money, so it couldn't keep subsidizing drivers.

The bigger issue nowadays is lower demand during off-peak hours.

If it's delivery to an office building you need to park your car and go in.
Unless somebody waiting for you at the roadside.

If she didn’t make so much noise in social media, her account may be still in suspension mode.

There are many other similar cases but drivers didn’t fight on all the way like her.

Why cant the grabcar person in charge from the driver relations dept just leave the contact number for her to call back? Just suspend because drivers were uncontactable? Driver side panic like shit is not their concern.
*
I have a separate phone for grab. I usually turn it off when I am not online.

Grab should keep our alternate numbers lah... or email us like Uber did.

Another driver bite the dust at KLIA while waiting for his turn to Grab riders. Could be heatstroke , heart stroke or just brain stroke. RIP  bye.gif

Just a gentle healthy reminder to fellow drivers, ensure you shake your legs with exercise, have proper rest and reduce stress and to prevent heatstroke with plenty of fluids. And dun overdrive over prolong period  hmm.gif

Another thing is:
Avoid sleeping inside the car with air-cond running.

I've this problem whether is anyone else facing this issue....I'm using Android phone and using AA .. When I using waze while driving my 1st passenger but when I received a pop up message on A back to back job notification ,  the app exit from waze and I need to go back into waze which is a 3 steps process while driving which is dangerous. Do you face this problem?
*
No choice, if we do b2b jobs we are forced to multitask.

But at least you are on AA. If you choose manual accept that's even more dangerous.

2 weeks ago I took Grab from KLIA2. The app's ETA was stuck at 15 min for a few minutes, then suddenly down to 6 min, then went back up to 10 mim, then down to 1 min.

Really cannot be trusted...

im using Huawei-Honor phone, I need to press 2times the same button to get back to waze.
by pressing twice the square; multitask-apps selection (common found in android with square, circle, triangle button), i'll be back to waze in second..
*
You don't need to press the multitask button. Just press the arrow button on the Grab app and you are back to Waze.

But then we still need to press once to re-center Waze.

Don't know why Grab can't automatically bring us back to Waze...

QUOTE(andrwss @ Mar 31 2019, 07:30 PM)
Indonesia government almost banned the use of gps on road, because you're not allowed to even look at your phone while driving.

And yes these b2b jobs notification are annoying and unhelpful. Do you expect us to call/confirm/msg riders when we're driving with passengers on board? It is worst when b2b come in and we tap a few to get back for Waze working, and suddenly the b2b job cancelled! Motherfker now I have to tap a few more to get Waze working!  Grab should just hide the b2b job notification/cancellation etc without disturbing the Waze. Sound notification should be sufficient.
*
I think Grab wants us to acknowledge the new job. It's not just notification.

This one, maybe the rider hadn't updated his/her app. Still use old version without chat function.

I read from the puspakom website on the inspection for ehailing vehicles. One of the items that they'll be checking is the light transmission on our windows. Most of us who are using our own cars will definitely have window tint and most of our window tint on our windscreen will fail the test. Any ideas how to overcome it besides removing the tint prior to inspection and then re-tinting it back.. This way will cause a lot of money and we need to inspect the car annually. My car is more than 3 years old so I got to send it for inspection.

But what actually are your uncle's concerns?
Car rental? Unable to drive long hours? Not familiar with the app?

This is why I don't recommend people to use MyCar. Because they are too lax in their quality control department. A lot of Grab drivers usually complain about how Grab always ban drivers, strict cancellation/acceptance rating requirement, but all these are the reason why Grab is so successful. Drivers are disposable. They prefer to keep the best and the most loyal drivers in their drivers pool. The one who always choosy on jobs, complain a lot, drive too little, they will just get rid of. Because they know there hundreds more drivers will register every week.

The way I see it, MyCar's vision is to capitalize on Grab's 'weakness' which is drivers' welfare. So they allow MyCar drivers to filter and cancel job as much as they wanted too. But they don't realize that this will significantly harm their service quality. Therefore, you will have a lot of bad Grab drivers who got banned to jump into MyCar platform.

I think the main reason why people would ever pick MyCar over Grab is because MyCar offers a cheaper fare for their particular trip. Conlusion: as a passenger, try to stick to Grab if you want better service. MyCar is just Grab's tong sampah. Hopefully GoJek can enter Malaysian market and provide a serious competition soon.

This is why e-hailing companies should be customer centric and not driver centric. While it may seem cruel to drivers it is only fair that most customers don't want trouble.

I have tried another e-hailing, dascee and somehow the quality of driver is also not as good as GRAB.
