My sauces of information comes from the real up close and personal interaction where I lepak in the KLIA chatterfield. I would take a pee and puff with the drivers and at the NGV gas station where there is long Q of taxi fellas. Many of them would asked me how to and what the cost is to convert thier Teks1M into private use since mine was a spot on ex taxi without the neon signage.  And when riders said they are also ex Grabbers or ex Ubermen recounting thier experience. Some still driving to supplement thier incomes. Just 1 would bragged about thousands he is making made driving zig zag siang malam. I asked him if he ever thought of being in the medical risks the way he drives without proper rest and exercise in peanut jams. Just by holding his pee, he may gets kidney stones. Then there is one middle age guy who is driving with signs of stroke risks. I asked him about it and he said he suffered stroke attack a year back. Told him to seek the medical advice from his consulting doctor whether he should continue driving part time as his condition would risk with more serious of brain haemorrhage. I gave him the parting advice as a rider  if he needs to drive as part time, the least he could do is to get down and boogie with exercise his feet in every hour or two of driving. After all, he cannot afford to be sick and down with future stroke attack.   

One Malay chap was the most detailed of them all. He would jot down in his daily journal every single sens of fares and tips and subtract all those cost from servicing, tyres pancit to petrol. After 1 year, he gave up ehailing where he is a private chauffer to ferry a Datuk son to school. In just 6 hours on the job and just probably 1 hour of driving, he is earning 80% as a Grabbie full time siang malam. And he makes much more where he goes to be a Burger Man at the stall near his home.  He works 5 days a week in both of his jobs. 

A few of them lost thier jobs in the O & G industry and got to drive to raise fund for thier family. However there is one who is driving brand new BMW picking hotties in the name of raising charity fund. If he goes clubbing, his wife would be looking high and low for him. But since he said he is doing a good cause picking riders, his wife was being CONvinced. 

5 minutes for me to press no show for those who either call or message me at last minutes by saying I am coming down plse wait, blah blah blah..... If they dun respect the drivers time and effort to be there, forget about it. And the worst offenders are those who are in the malls or condo where they are no waiting or parking spaces like KLCC to say they are coming out from shopping or shower. sumore ask for extra minutes.

The only time I would have waited is when they call me the instant I press I have arrived - and I look at the designation they are heading. I dun care if they are going anywhere except to clinic or hospital. I dun mind to wait 10 to  20 minutes because they are being medically compromised. Once I even carried a fainted lady to the clinic and at other time to check in the rider as a patient to ER to get immediate attention for acute cardiovascular condition.   

It is my rules of engagement of 5 minutes waiting which is also Grab law and order to get paid without losing your AR. And after 5 minutes, I just love to look at the faces of riders when they get down to see thier rides got cancelled. And I got the comfort of knowing the next driver dun have to wait when they pick up these riders.

SG gonna implement cancellation fee towards riders. As expected, riders feedback are disastrous. Instead of attacking grab, they vent their anger towards driver. Usual replies are such "if driver cancel then we get $4?" "There's a cancel button so it's up to us to choose our driver suka hati" "what if the driver is the one who asks us to cancel?" "driver suka2 cancel can, we cancel kena punish?!"

Then this one comment crack me up. He said that drivers should not accept booking when they are not even dropping off current passenger yet. Guy doesn't even know the concept of b2b. Such a privileged person.

Your thoughts?

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.

guys is it just me or its extreemely hot thesee past couple weeeks? I reaelizeed ive been consuming at least 2 to 3 bottles of large mineeral waters everyday and that hasnt iinclude sweet driinks and coffees, and yet I still crave for driinks >.<

I have another scenario.

2 Banglas passenger are comparing price with their phone. 1 Bangla requests a ride during peak hour, the driver took 10 mins to reach PUP. 50 meters to PUP, passenger cancel the trip (Driver WTF). Within one minute later, another Bangla request for a ride with the SAME destination, but this time the fare is lower than the first one (Driver again WTF).

Maybe if Passenger cancels the trip within 5 mins, they will be banned for 30 mins just like when we ignore a ping.

I'm a fresh grad and planning to buy a new 1.5AV Myvi for personal use and do part-time grab after work (sometimes) and on weekends.
I landed a job where I get RM300 monthly for car allowance. So I'm thinking of generating at least RM400 a month doing Grab to pay off the Myvi which will cost RM700 monthly. Can anyone advice whether it is a good idea to do Grab part time on weekends with a new car? Of course sayang a bit, but is it going to be worth it?

The cancellation still got loophole.

When traffic smooth can reach pup/almost before 5min kena cancel by rider no compensate even though prove the case.

Another one we are on the way, but heavy jam. After 5 minute got cancel. Then cs blame us we don't make effort or fail to reach pup on time.

Yealoh.. this one fall under what%, 0.001%?
Then just leave it like that...

why decline groceries?

i did it once to a rider who use the service to send some parcel without him around.

is that illegal?

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.

i foresee there will be less drivers on the road after ehailing regulations been implemented. Thus, fare will sure become higher due to less lembu. correct me if i'm wrong to say so...

Grab is poor in handling rider complaints. Often they suspend the drivers first before conducting a thorough investigation.

But if you are suspended for high CR, you only have yourself to blame.

Nobody loves to drive to KLCC during peak hours. But your choice is not between good jobs and bad jobs. It's between bad jobs and suspension.

Don't make it sound like grabbing is the worst job in the world. (Just earlier somebody talked about health risk.) If you are doing sales, you are bound to meet with bad customers. You can't just tell your boss, "I don't like him. I am not serving him." Grabbing is similar.

Guys, I will be taking the PSV exam this Saturday. I am required to bring completed JPJL8A form. What is that?

hi all, just asking about the rear passengers' seat belts, do you all ask the rear passengers to put on the seat belt? i read whatsapp message starting today police will be checking this.

am using asus zenfone max plus for grabbing like 15 months alrdy, still never give problem

P/s: i hang my pphone on the ac vent, phone always cold lol
