MAN GAVE GRAB DRIVER 1-STAR, WANT HELP HIM SAVE PETROL END UP TIO GAN

Argument with grab driver

I stay in a landed enclave. Recently took a grab and according to GPS, the journey home will take about 30min.

However, I know a shortcut. This shortcut will make the journey significantly shorter, from 30min to maybe a 20min journey. This shortcut is an unofficial, small road. You gotta be extremely familiar with the area to know it. So I instructed the driver to take a certain road, make certain turns.

Driver raged at me. Complained that I paid so little money so can’t demand I take certain routes. Ok lo, I kept quiet.

Gave him a 1 star coz of the raging and him wasting extra 10min of my time.

Here are what netizens think:

• Just let the driver do his things and don’t micro manage. Either way, you already paid as per the standard trip / KM . Just sit back and enjoy the ride. If you so familiar then drive yourself lo.

• They will and ordered to ride on the appointed route by gps. They are not like old school cabbies which is based on fastest method works best. If they deviate , then they kena complaint. U preferred route is good for u . What if a driver say he have a short cut and do it that way, and u complaint is longer and cheat u. Thus is always he think he is right and u think ur are right. The system enforce routes and follow this no one can fault anyone if route is followed as per gps. Thus I wouldn’t say the driver is at fault . It is just that u dun get what u want and u made a fuss. Same as if u go to a restaurant and their steak is must do one style and say medium well. And then u demand ur way say rare. And they come out as medium well . U gave them a lousy rating .

• Omg, what basis you gave him 1? His job is to send you to your place, not to follow your instructions.The route is always shown when you booked the ride.So entitled OP! Learn to be kind to people & let them do their job with peace.

• You ever thought the way u gave 1 to a driver that needs to put bread  on the table for family, you dont cb la… whats the shortcut that can save how many mins for u to reach home? U urgent ah… or u want highlight to us u stay landed.

• Did you tell him that the route is a short cut? Or you just start directing him like he’s your chauffeur?
