Hello all. I'm a new driver in Klang Valley.

I agree with bcombat. How about meal per day? How about your car installment? Insurance and road tax? That alone belum masuk your living expenses and other commitments.

Vibration laa syok! Geli-geli.. 😋

Whats with yesterday and today crappy rates fare? Is it me or the Grab is stil sangkut with CNY traffic data?

I went full throttle yesterday from 6.30am to 10.00 pm.. Only stopped for prayer (13:30 - 14:45, 16:45-17:00 and 19:45-20:00 ). Still trying to find a good strategy to get gross RM300.

After excluding Grab Commmision, fuel and meal, income was RM253 including the bonus and tips. In total of 19 trips, starting from Shah Alam and just go with the flow wherever the trip brings me.

No one likes to be kerbau. But unfortunately, there are bills to pay, priority to sort out and fast cash by driving Grab is available in front of my eyes. I hope you can relate.

I think all of the rating are reflected to your recent 100 trips. Today you got cibai bad rating, the score will go away after the next 100 trips, consider if and if only you don't get bad rating in the future 100 trips.

I stuck at 4.99 DR for a few weeks and yesterday turun to 4.96. Maybe because one amoi in Desa Kudalari got tak puas hati with me. Well it was 5 pm there. Auto accept job so crappy - to get to the pickup point need about 10 mins drive jalan jammed and the fare is RM7(with RM1.9 bonus) to Bukit Bintang . Once reach there amoi asked to wait. I waited and ngam² 5 mins I asked politely "May I asked how much time do you need?" And she replied "1 min please".

My hati got so panas like Kratos in God of War, I waited and exactly when I saw her coming, I cancelled the job and drive away. She waved her hand while lari-lari try to kejar me moving away. I don't exactly give shit actually to someone who doesn't know how to respect other people's time. Yes, 20 mins wasted, and I am happy. I think she lodge complaint to GRAB hence my score turun.

Bertabahlah Indo people.

This happens to me. I turned on the AA, with shitty fare and far pickup point and Google Map also redirect to wrong road (Jalan Tutup) and passenger maybe give bad rating dispite the fare she paid was only RM6.

I think I understand how this works.

Today's fare is based on last week's traffic data. If last week traffic like sampah, then the rate today will hike kaw-kaw. That's explained why during CNY week the fare rate was so handsome even half day driving easily can earn RM300++ fares.

Meanwhile, everyone suffers from the effect on the next week after CNY where the traffic is back to normal and the fare rates so low until I myself refused to drive.

This is just my observation and theory. Last 2 days morning at Kelana Jaya the fare rate was still high even without LRT shut down. This high fare information was from the passenger who travel with me this morning where he paid RM32 instead RM15-20 on normal basis.

But I might be wrong.

Yesterday at 7.45pm, just for fun I wanted to know if there is any demand for 6s job nearby Giant and Seksyen 13 Shah Alam. So I only turn on 6s service. After 45 mins, NOTHING!

When I check my Crap Apps, this happens.. Not sure why, I don't have any apps to mess with the GPS installed in the phone.

Mycar rates is even higher than Crap.

Happened to me today!

7.00 AM, after dropped off a passanger at Titiwangsa, I received another ping from an Indian passenger named Vijay (bukan nama sebenar) at about 1 km from my dropped off location. So I quickly go to the area to pickup Vijay.

When I reach at Vijay's condominium, 2 Indian guy waving at me and enter my car. I greeted “Good morning Mr. Vijay”, and he replied “Good morning to you too”. I quickly pressed pickup and drove to the location - HKL.

The traffic on Jalan Tun Razak was heavy and one of the passenger told me to use another road to avoid traffic. Since CRAP told us to negotiate with the passenger for the best road to choose, I just follow.

When I realised that I was heading to Ulu Klang via bulatan Pahang, I knew something is really wrong. And suddenly I saw GRAB's number calling and Vijay texted me "Where are you? I am late for work!!" , I think I know what is going on. I started to run several plan on how to deal with 2 big, half drunk and hairy Indian guy in my car.

Not more than 1 min, the one who sit beside me said “I think you already knew that we are not your passenger.." I was like "Shiiiiiit..", and I was really lucky when I saw a bus stop where many people is waiting for the bus. I quickly hit my brake and immediately open my door and get out of the car in front of everyone and tell " Get the fuck out of my car!!". The passengers freaked out, swiftly get out from my car and ran away. I was panicked and didn't really want to kejar them.

While still shaking, I called Vijay, explained and apologized. Vijay was furious because he was late and he could not get another ride while I still haven't 'drop him off' in the App. But at least he knew I wasn't purposely did that and he forgive me. I cannot call GRAB while still on the ride and 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.

The option to call police is never been in my head because there is no way I could navigate to the option while driving and these two crook are watching me.

What a shitty day.

I suspect that they wanted to try to rob me by directing me to housing area. Now I'm thinking to carry some sort of small self protection.

I don't know if I want to drive for CRAP anymore. I need money as I lose my job and still waiting for a new opportunity.

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?

The requirements for CRAP driver is clearly stated in the website and also in the apps. The thing that they failed to tell you is about the rates. I have made a calculation based on today's event. Take note that is is at normal hour. I agree that some sifus here said during normal hour, all driving IS charity.

Let me know if you have any questions. To all sifus, let me know if my calculation is incorrect.

What happened to me yesterday is a bit traumatising. Hence, I want to be safe rather than sorry.

Thank you for the tips. I am nubis kubis cabbage, 5 weeks newly in this game. I hope this month will be the last month I drive for Crap.

Matilah nak.. gomen cannot makeup their mind and the rakyat is slowly dying.
