Sarap nga ng ibang Uber riders, me 30% off or 50% off for up to 7 rides. Ako, waley ako na-receive na email. siguro sabi ni Uber regular rider naman na ako so kahit walang discount e sasakay pa din ako. Hehe.. pero sana maka-receive din ng promo/discount soon.

[glacy_rein]

First time to try uber a couple of weeks ago and I got a girl driver.  Sobrang tuwa ko lang and nakipagkwentuhan with the driver.  She was very nice naman and she was telling me the incentives and about her previous passengers.

Hi girls, any uber/ grabcar partners here? Im interested in becomeing a partner as well. I already attended the seminar for grabcar Medyo hesitant lang ako. Can you please share/ PM me your business experiene so far? What unit ang gamit nyo and madali ba maachieve yung 75 trips per week? Pano pa-sweldo nyo sa driver? Hope you can help me.

Thank you.

ewan ko ba mga sis, nitong lunes fare ko is P199, so far mataas pa rin siya compared sa grabtaxi, pinakamataas na binayaran ko doon was P180 konti lang naman difference. eto pa nakaka 3 uber driver na ako na hindi nila alam direction, mga baguhan daw sila eh kapag gagamit ng gps problem minsan slow connection. hindi ko alam if its their style para pag trapik hindi makaiwas, so far good service naman sila. For now I'm using grabcar, dahil sa promo. Kakatawa, dami ko ng experience, one time sa grabcar ito ha, kausap ng driver misis niya nagtatalo sila, nagpapabili si misis ng dinner, gusto ko na nga sanang sumingit, kasi may carinderia sa nadaanan namin sabihin ko sana kuya para matigil kayo ok lang iparada niyo muna diyan sa carinderia at bumili na kayo..lol. Most drivers of grabcar are ex taxi drivers, wala namang masama dito pero hindi maiiwasan may mga loko lokong drivers. tipong ang ganda ng kotse sana naman maayos ang service, during driving makikipagkwentuhan pa at naka speaker pa sila, topic nila saang gotohan sila magkikita...haha. yan lang muna.

^advice to use Waze sis or mag-install na ng waze its pretty accurate than google maps

[bagaholic_chewy]

Meron kasi sa Uber, especially yung owner-driver na di pa masyadong sanay sa pasikot-sikot ng Metro Manila. At di rin ma-techy. Plus yung connection issues ng devices nila. But for sure ayaw din nila ma-trapik kasi most of them e naghahabol ng incentives (which is based sa number of trips). And they are advised to ask the riders kung may preferred na route yung passenger.

Ako naman almost always e inaalam ko talaga possible routes sa pupuntahan ko. And i have waze sa phone so i check it also before umalis. Oftentimes, sinasabi ko sa driver na sundin na lang yung fastest route na bigay ni Waze (which mostly concides din with my usual route if nagda-drive ako).

[quinone]

sa experience ko rin, hindi talaga sila drivers kaya hindi nila alam ang daan. sa waze naman, hindi maganda experience ko, lalong tumatagal ang biyahe kasi lalung umiikot ng malayo kaka iwas sa ibang daan, lalung napapalayo. i'd rather na ituro yung shortest na way or yung pinaka hindi matraffic na route.

[glacy_rein]

Just today pina-uber ko yung Aunt ko/make up artist kasi may commitment sya for a debut kaso malas nanaman at walang alam si Manong Uber. Kakahiya tuloy at 1hr late sya. inabot pa ng 500+ yung bill kaya nag-email ako uli kaya ayun in-adjust at sabe sorry daw kase ine-enhance pa nila ang GPS system nila.

Safe at maganda ang Uber kaso sa drivers and gps map kahit sakto ang Pin hindi talaga, palya talaga. Buti nalang talaga at nagchecheck sila and refund.

[iska-hazel]

uber talaga for the win, very convenient and ang layo sa taxi hehe. ayaw ko lang yung waze madalas, malayo iikutan hehe

[krabby_patty]

I think Grab should remove the visibility of the rider's destination sa mga drivers. Kasi grabe mamili ang mga drivers nila. Parang cab lang din. Even if there are a lot of cars in your vicinity, pag ayaw nila yung destination mo, wala rin. Fort to QC ang route ko usually.

[patchuchai]

For grabcar and grabcar+ naka fix na ang rate. Dapat kung sino na ang na tag ng system eh dapat accept niya iyong rider, just like uber kung sino ang na tag automatic accept nila.
May news ngayon sa inquirer pinapa investigate ni Sen. Poe ang uber at grab. Sakin naman since may slight disability ako, without these services I would have resigned from work. Jeep ako dati ang I'm paying for an extra seat, bawal kasi akong masiksik due to hip injury. Taxi naman kalbaryo maghanap tipong makaka limang para ka bago makasakay tapos magpapadagdag at bastos pa. I discovered grab at uber, I was able to work, from kalbaryo pag uwi, now I'm comfortable going home. Kahit gabi at mag isa lang ako sa cab, I do feel safe. Kaya sana huwag naman tanggalin ang ganitong service.

[summer888]

yun sa waze... you can adjust sa settings na fastest or shortest route under navigation. usually when you choose fastest hinahanap ni waze yung mga streets na hindi traffic kaya minsan kung saan-sanng pasikot-sikot ang daan. personally, i prefer the shortest route kung hindi naman super tindi ng traffic. pag ganito kadalasan main roads ang nag rereflect.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ true regarding Waze. If hubby is driving angd nag-waze or navi kami, he usually chooses the fastest route, depends kung ilang minutes ang estimated difference sa travel time. Ok lang kasi sa kanya dumaan sa small side streets kesa naka-stop sa traffic. If ako naman nagda-drive, i usually choose the shortest route kasi takot ako dumaan sa small streets, newbie driver pa kasi, baka sumabit ako sa mga nakapark na sasakyan sa gilid ng kalsada. Hehe.

Just saw sa news na uber and grabcar are no longer allowed to pick-up passengers from NAIA. 

[krabby_patty]

^ any particular reason why? That's sad news. Dahil nawawalan ng business ang overpriced airport taxis?

[crzysxycl]

^Aw, talaga sis. Tsss, grabe naman. Malaking tipid at ginhawa pa naman kung uber or grab sasakyan from NAIA. Ang lalakas managa ng mga taxi dun eh. I remember nung umuwi kami from HK, 2500 ba naman ang kontrata sa amin. Eh Espana Manila lang naman kami umuuwi. Tumawad pa, 2k daw. Over lang! IMO, kung walang mapag samantalang taxi drivers, walang uber.

[IndelicatePinay]

I open GrabTaxi app.. Wow, 40+ drivers nearby. Rejected by all of them. Do you really have to input a tip before booking for GrabTaxi or GrabCar? Doesn't that make GrabTaxi the same as the old school "kontrata" with regular taxis? But instead of negotiating by the side of the road with the taxi driver, you negotiate through their app. I emailed GrabTaxi support. It kept bouncing back several times. They still have not replied. What if I had a problem with my Grab ride, how would I contact them?

Uber is still the best for me! Despite a few bad experiences (usually driver-related and internet signal-related), Uber quickly replies to my emails and were able to fix things.
