Quite proactive

lalamove still got mod apps which many riders/drivers use for jerung jobs
*
I don't understand how lalamove riders make money.

The commission is so high like 21.5%.

And they don't give any bonus for long pick up distance. So 10km pick up or whatever rider sendiri telan.

Do these riders accept multiple orders so the delivery fee/km increases?

I tried doing this before but kena marah by customers because so slow. They ask why I accept multiple orders?

Hmmm chemo plus hormonal therapy?

the fare is very cheap these days during off-peak. and during peak period now the fare similar with previously off-peak fares..
many drivers unhappy cause really not worth driving these days, getting less than rm1/km..

but dont think as customer can enjoy benefit of cheap fares. cause these days due to rubbish fare, many drivers with funny attitude come out also.

drivers will sidai riders due to rubbish fare AND extremely far-pick up distance. Basically grab fuck TWO things up instead of one, 1) their revised fare structure and 2) their broken job algorithm. and these 2 issue becomes compounded worse with driver's unwillingness to drive, so in the end customer also suffer because have to wait super long to get driver willing to pick up, cause many previous matched drivers will cancel themselves or ask rider to cancel..

Common thing happening for those rider in ulu locations or going to ulu locations is this, many of them become desperate they willing to tell driver i will top up give you extra later so pls come and fetch me..

the other day i read one post on facebook, this person trying to get a driver for his wife to come home and it was around 1am.. the wife tried ordering grab for 1 hour also couldnt get any driver.. so he also desperate he join driver facebook group and asked for help who can fetch his wife home he willing to pay extra rm50..
yeah so thats the situation we are in now.. thanks to grab's incompetence.. previously before grab revised their fare structure from 70cents/km to now 25cents/km, the shitty job algorithm drivers still find it bearable because at least the fare could still cover the far pick up and whatever else.. now with 25cents/km and you combo with that shitty job algorithm.. many driver feel that grab taking 20% commission cut while providing a shitty app with shitty support/cs is too much.. so many quit/moved to other platform.
*
Bro 25cents/km ? Wtf are they even thinking lol ,see the company goyang kaki while drivers doing all the hardwork + they needed to maintain their cars .And i believe transportation shouldn’t be cheap in the first place , look at it from other perspective.when they hike the petrol price every other things will cost more eventually.If grab is doing a price war to remain competitive then it’s killing both their drivers and company

This

Is

Why

Taxi fares are regulated by the government.


History already shown, when there's no regulation, the fares will be ridiculously low and the cars will be unmaintained dangerous steel coffins.

grab is sacrificing their own reputation build up so many years with this new fare, my friend who often grab user also kena many keluar pattern driver.

later charge extra, customer complain then grab suspend. Driver might as well cancel and ignore those non-profitable job to ulu place with 100% kosong out from that area.

Boss u still ada kayuh now kah?
*
i havent kayuh since jan this year when they announced the new fare structure.. cause that time also i could tell what a shitshow this would be already..

so now i read driver/passenger stories on fesbuk je.. and feel kesian to both driver and rider being put into this situation..

QUOTE(yhtan @ Jun 20 2023, 04:21 PM)

They mau flush out AA ride and indriver but fail to do so, why need to compete low price with competitor, raise the fare reasonable rate and let driver untung, no need to compete low fare to kill off competitor like what they did to Uber. They have to live with competitor and compete with service, not price.
*
exactly this!

they could have maintained the prices, and keep the excellent services grab drivers have been providing to riders all these years.

Customers also can be assured when taking grab knowing their driver is a 100% regulations complying driver and is drug-free cause have to do yearly health check up for PSV license AND crime-free cause once you got pdrm kes you cant drive with grab..

Also number 1 thing grab have advantage over their competitors was in terms of CS. if got problem with driver, CS will reimburse. Action will be taken towards driver, so less hank panky going around. Driver will also be vary to do hanky panky because afraid of getting banned.

You left behind your iphone pro max also got very high chance you able to recover it! The grab driver willing to stop his car and find every inch of his car for your iphone.. You got luggage or carrying many stuff? grab drivers will turun kereta to help you load into car.. You put wrong stop or ask driver drop you off inside your condo also no problem small matter.. All these drivers willing to do it last time with no complaints..

these days? with sampah fare, grab drivers also dont give a fuck anymore if rider complain left something in the car. if lost then lost, driver say not my fking problem.
Oh you stay in condo put pick up point guardhouse but ask driver go pick you up from your block's lobby? Driver say fuck off i will wait at guardhouse you no come in 5 mins i will cancel the job.

I really don't understand why still got lalamove riders.

Another crazy one is the Return Trip. Lalamove only charge like RM5 flat rate for return trip. If the return trip is 20km or 50km also RM5 flat rate only.

And this is BEFORE deducting lalamove's commission.

Crazy.

nowadays i read the facebook group story like entertainment news, most of the time u can see rider vs driver where both party don't want to cancel and compete who is the first to cancel, some can drag until 12 hrs then only cancel, all this happen just because the driver want to save their CR in order to safeguard their incentive. laugh.gif

I watch some traveller video at Bangkok, there is 2 major ehailing player which is grab and bolt, bolt is cheaper 30-40% but service, cleaniness and car availability is way below par, quite often has to wait 30mins to get a ride for peak hour. If Grab thailand able to compete like this, why can't they do this here, once Grab revise their fare structure on January this year, AA also follow suit by reducing on same level with grab, it create a vicious cycle for ehailing industry.

TBH grab recruit too many drivers and did not train them well, they should have flush out those keluar pattern drivers to safeguard their service level, in this recent 6-12 months, i hardly hear any driver kena suspend except for sexual harassment case.

Sorry to hear that.

Hope she doesn't have to be on chemo and hormonal therapy for too long.

Trigger another cancer meaning like a different type of cancer?

I ask because I assume after removing her breasts, she won't get breast cancer again.

Yeah the oncologist said next time it won't be just another breast. It will be lung cancer. Bone cancer or whatever cancer. Truly humbling experience that I start to feel our mortality. This cancer has changed my entire life and worst for my wife.
