GrabHitch/RYDE-car pooling services

[rex73]

Many things could happen..you don't know how people think inside their brains..it could be rob, rape, kill, murder, molest or kidnap..who are we to judge?

So taxi drivers, Uber or Grab drivers won't commit the crimes ? Everyone is registered in a way through LTA or respective system but anyone can be a criminal. If so damn afraid then take own transport is the best I feel.

I am referring to a complain made by a Grabhitch rider that she got molested by a Grabhitch driver and would like to advice riders to stop riding Grabhitch and RYDE. I am neither a private hire car driver nor a taxi driver, but an ex Grabhitch rider.

 

Reason being is very simple, with the implementation of checks, screening and training required for all private hire car and taxi drivers, Grabhitch drivers need not go through all these procedures. In case people out there still think that Grabhitch and RYDE are similar to GrabCar or uber, they are totally different. To be a Grabhitch or RYDE driver, one just need to go to their respective websites to register with their cars and they are allowed to hitch someone along their way to their destination.

And so, any Tom, Dick or Harry can just do Grabhitch so long as he/she has a car! And mind you, their cars aren't properly covered by commercial insurance is because our authorities didn't want these lerosnal car owners to use this as an income opportunity as they do not need to covert their insurance, going for checks and screenings and also training so their ought to be many of such nonsensical drivers out there! Mind you, you are in a car not in a train or bus where there are so many people looking.

I took Grabhitch once and that's my last ride ever, not only the driver came to pick me up with a different car, but he is a pervert and keep on asking me and talk big about disgusting stuff and even attempted to touch me! I have made a police report about such unruly behaviour and now nothing gets done yet. So I would suggest all to stop riding on Grabhitch, drivers who are not trained shouldn't be out there even hitching passengers!

 

Please avoid at all cost, it not worth the 50% lower fares with all these problems and risk one have to take.

Are A.S.S. trying to take down Grab or what? Publish so many negative things. 

[Banz86]

Hmm, I don't understand all the negative as well. Hitching is a way of picking up people going the same way. But if it is only 1 family member in the car I will usually pick a passenger. 

 

Guess there will always be people whom don't know what is hitching.

hitch hiking the American way - where women get raped, body dumped somewhere or people get kidnapped.

 

perhaps the "hitch" is living up to its name.

If I'm not wrong, they help interpret one's insurance tnc..

 

I think it's better to check with one's own insurance company and keep the correspondence in black and white

IMO.. It can work the other way too.

Drivers better have another inside camera up prove his innocence if a crazy hurl wrong accusations.

Just one time can possibly screw up one's whole life

As I live in the west and work at Changi, I have been hitching people on route to the airport. There are some very weird people whom due to the negative news, have insisted to sit at the back even though there is no one in front. It's up to their choice if on where they want to sit.

Registered a while back but finally did my first grab hitch this evening. Bui bui OL went straight for the back seat which I'm perfectly fine with.

 

The only things I said to her was to buckle up and if the AC behind is cooling enough.

 

1km prior to reaching destination she had a call from probably le hubbs and it turned into a princess sickness situation. That was when I was glad she was behind and not beside (and definitely not between).

 

$13, ez moneh

What's princess sickness?
