Can someone GrabHitch driver explain promotion fees, e.g., the total ride is $10.00

Hitcher pays S$6.00. The rest is on Grab.

 

Does it means the passenger still pay the driver full fare of $10.00 or only $6.00?

 

Thx U

Hitcher pay $6, Grab top up $4, driver gets $10.

I see. So they really loose out picking customer on short trip.

 

No la, it work like this.. Let's say the fare is 5 bucks and just nice the rider use promo code with 5 bucks. So rider pay nothing and Uber will take 20% from the fare and the rest 4 bucks Uber will pay the driver.

 

So driver never lose anything..

LONDON (REUTERS) -London's transport regulator on Friday stripped Uber of its licence to operate from the end of the month, affecting over 40,000 drivers in a huge blow to the taxi app.

"Uber's approach and conduct demonstrate a lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues which have potential public safety and security implications," Transport for London (TfL) said on Friday (Sept 22).

The final day of Uber's licence will be on Sep. 30.

 

Uber, which has the right to appeal the decision within 21 days, did not offer an immediate comment. It is unclear whether Uber will be able to operate in October whilst any appeal is being considered. In London, Uber has faced criticism from unions, lawmakers and traditional black cab drivers over working conditions.

Globally, Uber has endured a tumultuous few months after a string of scandals involving allegations of sexism and bullying at the company, leading to investor pressure which forced out former CEO and co-founder Travis Kalanick.

The app has been forced to quit several countries including Denmark and Hungary and faced regulatory battles in multiple US states and countries around the world. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he backed the decision.

 
 

"All companies in London must play by the rules and adhere to the high standards we expect - particularly when it comes to the safety of customers," he said. "It would be wrong if TfL continued to license Uber if there is any way that this could pose a threat to Londoners' safety and security."

Passenger pays $6. Grab tops up the rest for the driver.

Driver will still be paid la. Grab/Uber will pay the amount.

In SG they provide jobs and props up the coe.

Likely encouraged to stay for as long as possible.

London fail, bcuz of security (crime) and medical issues not addressed properly by Uber. Possibly backed up by frustrated taxi and Uber drivers.

 

In Sg, unlikely to happen. Crime is not a real issue here. LTA has addressed the training and certification of drivers to taxi standards.

From this it is easy to understand quite clearly the scheme is not sustainable and why Uber is doing this. While I like the competition they gave to the otherwise arrogance taxi, some form of controls are required to regulate them. It is the same problems with those bicycles that were thrown all over the place and occupying pedestrian walks. 

 

Whoever is responsible for their regulations and decide to open up without planning should leave his office by now.

Not too sure about refinance but insurance for Z10/11/16/17 is a must which is not really an issue.

 

If you are thinking of driving part time now, it will take at least 3 months for anyone to get the PDVL. The passing rate as far as I know is quite patheic (probably not more than 10 per test session), I really wonder how many of the current 40k+ PHV drivers can be "certified" by 01 July 2018. Probably this is part of LTA's strategy to create a balance between Taxi and PHV drivers.
