Ride-hailing services have become an integral part of transportation in Malaysia, especially in the Klang Valley. There are many reasons why Malaysians fell in love with the service. It is a breath of fresh air for many who had years of experience dealing with errant taxi drivers and also stranded with no safe public transportation.<\/p>\n

There are two major ride-hailing companies in Malaysia: Grab and Uber, which were both legalised<\/a> back in July 2017. They are now regulated by the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD). This news has significantly driven more people to join these ride-sharing companies as full- and part-time drivers, including taxi drivers. If you are a looking to be a ride-sharing driver, read this to consider if you should become a Uber or Grab driver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick comparison of a trip from Damansara Heights to Lot 10 Bukit Bintang between the two companies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t

Based on the fare estimation, GrabCar and UberX are both cheaper than hailing a metered taxi. However, there\u2019s a way for you to cut your fares further with promo codes.<\/p>\n

Both companies are always offering promo codes to attract new riders and also as a collaboration with certain companies or banks.<\/p>\n

        <\/span>How to ride safely in Grab & Uber<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

        Although these ride-sharing services offer a great alternative to other modes of public transportation, it is not completely free of scandals and negative news. With the recent news involving ride-sharing drivers and the security and safety of the passengers, here are some tips<\/p>\n

        1. Check details of driver<\/strong><\/p>\n

        When you book a ride, the details of the driver will be displayed on the app. These details include the photo of the drive, his\/her full name and the car license plate.<\/p>\n

        If the driver does not match the image in the app, passengers are strongly advised to cancel the ride and report to the ride-sharing company.<\/p>\n

        2. Share your ride<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Once you have the details of the driver or the estimated time of arrival (ETA) displayed on your app, you also have the option to share the ride with a trusted friend or family. This will ensure someone will be alerted of your destination and if you\u2019ve safely arrived. In the event of any incident, they will also be able to make a report on your behalf using the details given.<\/p>\n

        3. Check the driver\u2019s rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

        For a more comfortable ride, you will also be able to check the driver\u2019s rating when you are match with a drive. You can choose to cancel a trip if the driver\u2019s rating is too low to avoid any incident.<\/p>\n

        4. MERS 999 (Emergency button)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        For Grab, there is an emergency button included in your app. In the event of emergency, you can tap the button to contact the authorities. Keep your phone easily available during the ride to ensure you will be able to access the app if you feel you safety is threatened.<\/p>\n

        5. Give your feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n
