Anyway, uber driver cannot earn la. Those who said can,are really bluffing themself. Ask them the work hours they put in, and deduct all actual costing. And you have the answer.

A simple math. Sengkang to Town, midnight take uber, cost only $12-$14. Deduct 20%, Deduct 20km fuel cost, left a petty $6-$8 profit. Don forget, wear and tear, breakdown etc osting not factor in. Lets say its for the long run.

Agree with you.

Grab is even lower, from Botanic garden to Lakepoint is $8 nia, from SengKang to town if Uber is $12-$14, Grab should be $8-$11


Grab is slashing the fare till drivers cannot even make a decent earning thus coming to this forum and bad mouth Uber


Grab is desperately looking for new goondoo drivers, all their old bird already know their company's trick and have shifted to Uber becos Uber make slightly better earning then Grab.


Grab is thrash !

Economy bleak.

Retrenchment on the rise

With Uber/Grab, government can easily claim 100,000+ jobs created.

Employment statistic can then look good.

Been driving uber for ard 1 year...seen the changes..

I personally dont like to handle cash n prefer all cashless...but cash payment now takes up nearly half of all rides. So it may be good for biz...but troublesome.

I hate the fucking uberpool...its a fraud n ealot of people are now using uberpool cause its cheaper n high chance no need to share during certain timings like pass midnight or at certain locations. Its lower income for us n we have no option not to have uberpool. I hardly pick up other passengers with uberpool n its onky when we reach destination thenwe know its uberpool. Last night...pass midnight i fetch from suntec to sembangwan...more than 20km...by uberpool...fare only ard 13plus after minus uber fee....fucking joke. I am now earning less with this function.

Next, uber helpline also fucked up. Told them i got passenger steal money n report case...called n email several times n more than 1 week later...still no follow up from anyone.

The family went Uber office to complain n demand compensation of the cruise fee amounting to $2000+. Uber front desk shoo them away, saying it is the driver's problem. The driver is just a partner, not employer of Uber. This family damn suay...now how to get compensation?

Dun be their cheap labour bro. U r at their mercy cos they can cut/change the incentives from time to time.

Try looking for a more stable n better paying job.

3. All delivery drivers who knows how to use smartphones will sign up.

Sadly, this 2 are the biggest scams. Setting low fares that drivers can't earn. Most rely on incentives but these are being cut lower and harder to achieve.
Rental companies also suck thd blood of drivers with higher rentals and unreasonable demands when vehicle returned.

Yahoo News:

A couple with toddler broke a Grab car's wind shield wiper after driver refused to fetch them cos he doesn't have a toddler car seat.

Quote: {Land Transport Authority rules require all children under the height of 1.35m travelling in private vehicles, including private-hire cars, to use child safety restraints. Taxis are exempt from this requirement.

“Grab recommends all passengers to bring their own child safety restraints but also understand that there are times when they do not have a child safety restraint on hand. At such times, passengers can use our GrabTaxi service,” added the spokesman.}

This driver followed LTA's rigid law.

Grab's spokesman asked pax to bring own child seat!

Wtf?! 🤡

[arsenal168]

Either LTA change this rigid law or Uber/Grab dictate that all their drivers must have child seats in their vehicles to cater to pax with toddlers.

LTA should explain why Taxis are exempted while Uber/Grab have to follow this law.

Imagine yourself carrying a child seat around in a shopping centre etc? Make no sense.

I bet a lot of Uber/Grab driver ignore this law. If not they lose easily 20-30% business. Offend pax some more.

Taxi drivers, if hardworking, also not too bad one.

A cab driver once showed me his income for the month, around $7k!
