Alhamdulillah I believe God has saved me because I really wanted to go to Kajang last Friday around 3-4am but I didn't. I even woke up at 3.30am and took my phone off the charger and nearly went to take a shower. I don't know why but somehow I decided I wanted to go back to sleep although I know the demand to KLIA is usually high between 3.30am-5am for 6s on Fridays.

By the way, you also need to know iffy areas especially if you're driving during odd hours. Semenyih, Bangi Lama, Nilai 1 and Jinjang are some off the places that I avoid at all cost between 9pm-6am.

By the way, why do we rarely hear such cases involving taxi drivers? Do these robbers fear taxi uncles that much? Not that I want them to rob taxi uncles though.

Just had an experience the other day where I was riding as a passenger. Decent driver but once I left the car and walked into my meeting, I saw that the driver rounded up the toll fare. When I called him, his excuse was that he couldn't remember the toll fare for one and he couldn't see the amount for the other. Needless to say, rated low for this dude.
*
how much the round up be? too much... ouch on that mega_shok.gif

I booked crab just now from Corus hotel going back home after breakfast at the hotel.

I ask the full time crab driver what does he think of the new regulations that need to be comply by 12 July.

He said us drivers are being manipulated by crab and he plans to quit full time driving for crab and find another job.

lol I do feel sorry for him but I was once too a part time crap driver but I've already quit and never look back since then tongue.gif I wish him all the best since he was a nice guy and we chatted long while in the car.

did u inform him that u excrab driver too? might get even longer chit chat rclxm9.gif

Dear All,

After 12th July 2019, GRAB will be officially regulated (end of moratorium). Meaning all drivers must get PSV license, PUSPAKOM inspection, additiona e-hailing rider to insurance coverage, different type of road tax with AH in front, SOCSO contribution mandatory.

I see it as a huge huge pain in the arse. The govt should just let the industry be and not cave in to the demand of taxi drivers who are 90% behave like gangster with their shitty maintained cars.

Anyhow, these regulations will make it SOOO Cumbersome for so many of us. It's already ending of March 2019 and nothing can be done yet, so I expect there will be a bottleneck as drivers rush to get legalised before 12th July 2019.

Also, the additional costs are very significant. GRAB MUST increase their fares and make it worth our time. No more bilis RM5 fare. Minimum fare should be RM8. Also maximum commission set by govt is 20%. I am confident that GRAB will have to increase their fare to cover this shortfall as no more 25% commission and now since they are legalised, surely they have to pay income tax. So their profit will be affected.

My hope is that they stop charging such low prices and at least be on par with taxi fare. Level playing field what.

With this move to regulate, I reckon 70% of part-timers will quit and only the full-timers will have no choice but to go on. THis will cause a sharp drop in drivers. GRAB may even just pull out of Malaysian market with all these kinda regulations..if this happens I wont be surprised.

My hope is that with all the trouble we have to go through to get legalised, they bloody better increase the fare significantly, like 50% increment. I've seen Uber fare in Hong Kong and all..it's expensive, even more expensive than taxis.

Malaysians are very forgiving. Increase price, they will complain few weeks, later they will still use GRAB. GRAB should just increase the price. Worst case same price as taxi, ppl will still take GRAB, coz better car and driver.

Peace and Love. Lets hope our rice bowl not affected.

I think weekend now also low demand with lots of drivers, drove from subang to atria using LDP around 5.45pm and no single job appear. Finish dinner around 9.30pm then open back, surprisingly got many job bombard in. Didn't use MD to get job, just filter whatever job which bring me home and able to get gross RM24 for 45mins.

UP/MP hour on weekend on mid-month is just way too bad, some more i'm lazy drive to city centre to get a job.

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

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.
*
using runner service , can keep tinted? if every year change tinted for the sake of puspakom , now that troublesome

frequent grab rider here.
my ride is RM 30. Juice enough?

my area is new..
and correct me if i am wrong, somehow my area cant pin point the exact location.
once pinned, the will show list of area and if chosen any of the address, it will be totally out of the my house location.
So best i can do is to select my house lane.. and that range is about 100m + both way.

understand the driver has no obligation. Maybe the complain to go to Grab instead.. how come the pin point cant work.

But so far most of the drivers are ok. So happen only this grab driver.. to me is a problem.
Anyway i didn't rate him.. just thinking that really good driver should deserve 5 stars and he is should not be one of them.
But pity him that my case a bit special and tough case la.

why dont u use googlemap for accurate location?
once u statisfied with the search, just click open in app

I agree to his statement to certain extend.

There are some bad drivers around which give grab car a bad reputation. But how about bad riders?

Grab can and should eliminate bad drivers from their platform without doubt. But it has to be fair and transparent to all drivers involved. All complaints receive have to communicate to the concerned drivers at earlier stage for improvement purpose rather than on the advance stage.

In the process of executing discipline action, Grab office have to be 100% sure that they didn’t suspend or ban some of their dedicated good drivers at the same times.

last time where uber still kicking.. we can rate riders too...
should put that function in grab app too
