You're forced to cancel.
Grab drivers who don't move 5-10 minutes after accepting our request do that to make us cancel the request.
They don't want to cancel because they'll be given penalty.
Same thing happened to me just now.
All my bookings were from grab drivers who were far from my location. They didn't want to pick me up so they asked me to cancel.

You do also realise the drivers didn’t accept your ride willingly right?

Yes, thats why I helped them to cancel.
Turned out grab banned me after cancelling 4 times.

I think it’s an automatic thing that detects potential fraud bookings. They do it for their drivers too I think where excessive cancellations from their side also invites some sort of ban.

How their system work? They need to accept it but without seeing the destination or how?

They can see the destination but it’s automatically assigned to them meaning they can’t choose what to accept.

Grab needs to improve their system me thinks.
Poor drivers who are far away from passenger location but still need to pick up the passengers.

From what I understand talking to one of my fren who drives the premium version, this is also some sort of fraud prevention because last time some drivers used to “cheat” grab when they were giving out quite a sum of incentives by fake booking themselves (passenger getting nearest driver used to be the norm). But somehow this doesn’t apply now coz no incentives are given to drivers. And they’ve never changed it unless of coz there’s no other driver around within the circle vicinity of say 4-5km.

Imagine 4-5km away meaning you could be at Sogo KL & the driver is coming from Pavilion KL
