Anyway, even if go by meter and if the passenger don't know the route, also kenna makan. Just take Uber best la. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to travel anywhere from CIQ, there is a taxi stand below the bridge. Approach the booth counter and tell them where you want to go and they will tell you the amount, you pay them upfront and they will assign a taxi to take you there, no need to pay upon reaching the destination.

TVT Supercharged June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 they probably have double or even 3x more Uber in JB, they wait around the shopping malls like taxi and wait for booking. I see. Guess now the only issue is the data plan or Wifi, cos you need that to connect the Uber/Grab app.. If you want to travel anywhere from CIQ, there is a taxi stand below the bridge. Approach the booth counter and tell them where you want to go and they will tell you the amount, you pay them upfront and they will assign a taxi to take you there, no need to pay upon reaching the destination.

Same thing happened to me. I was charged $1 more than what I was quoted. Write in to Grab (take less than 2 mins), they will give you $3 off for next ride.

Jman888 Moderator June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 R u referring to the linked pedestrian bridge to City Square ? yes but dun cross the bridge, it is right below the CIQ. From this photo where the taxi queue is, there is always long queue of the taxi waiting there, but the booth is toward where the red arrow pointed at.

In the long run, the consumer like you and me will lose out. If everyone is as kind as you and don't report, it's just a matter of time. You should only pay what you are quoted. It's not about the $1 but if no one report and let it slide, it will come back and bite us in the long run. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being old is not an excuse to cheat others. Please lodge a complaint with Grab on the over-charging. It is totally unethical and he is giving all other drivers a bad name. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustank Hypersonic June 6, 2017 Share June 6, 2017 i was trying to use Uber in JB last week and uber apps couldn't get me the exact location on their map, i used google map and after plotting the direction 2 location, i tap on the Uber on google map. They prompt me for payment which i can't use the designated credit card under Uber but ask for Android pay instead, i happen to have an account hence activate that. Now i have Android pay permanently stuck in my Uber apps as default payment which i cannot remove. Anyone having this problem? I use the uber Malaysia one use until cannot see eyesUsual taxi trip to massage is about 15rm Uber is 6rm Insane!!!!!!!! Donno how they earn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged June 6, 2017 Share June 6, 2017 used Uber in KL. Damn cheap ! Me too. My last trip in KL 6 months ago took Uber everywhere. Convenient and easy to get. A few I took are driven by Malay women some more. Many uses the Proton Exora (7 seater, so spacious). But only problem (as I mentioned before) is the availability of the Wifi....
