PassApp scam
Re: PassApp scam
Can't drive during rush hour. Road rage isn't a thing here, sadly. That passive aggressive stare/ fake ass smile is though, but that's not enough for me. I took my anger out on my coworkers way too many times and they truly don't deserve that. Not at 7am

Re: PassApp scam
All good suggestions - except when the PassApp platform has a brain-fart and can't finish out the trip. When this happens, legitimately, I give the driver a dollar on top of the expected fair and we call it even. Happens a little too often, but I put that down to the power outages making the network unstable.IraHayes wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 9:15 am How hard is it to check the driver number Pxxxxx is the one you booked?
And given the cost of mobile data being so cheap is it that difficult to check your app price matches the drivers?
I round up to the next 1,000 every time and if the driver has any waiting time while i pop off to grab some groceries or waiting for a friend who we pick up on the way i often go another 1k or 2.
Seriously, take some responsibility... after all ... you don't want to end up like that poor girl in the states who got into the wrong uber and wound up dead!

Re: PassApp scam
Mrs Stroppy's Khmer has come along some. She can now stop a driver and berate them like a fish-wife if she suspects they're taking the mick, and does quite spectacularly. Some drivers now ask if we want them to follow the map or will we give directions. To be fair the dividers on Street 271 are not correctly marked on their system so unless they know the area they're going to drive straight into wrong-way streets.

Re: PassApp scam
Road rage exists. A while back a Khmer on big bike drive up behind missus and told her to move (past the stop light and into oncoming cross traffic) or he would kill her right there. She loudly screamed at him to kill her in front of all the witnesses and she was not moving.Queef wrote:Can't drive during rush hour. Road rage isn't a thing here, sadly.

Missus also follows the tuk tuk/bajaj driver on google Maps and tells him where to go, when to turn, what streets to turn on, etc.

Re: PassApp scam
Yep, same here. All of the issues raised in this thread are solved by using grab. Plus the prices are competitive and, as you say, constantly promotions & saving up points lets you buy a free ride pretty often.side wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 8:04 am I use only GRAB. Here's why:
1) The price is fixed when you book it, prices seem perfectly reasonable, and often downright cheap
2) Grab frequently (like always) sends coupon promo codes for discounts anywhere from 20% - 50%
Both points have possibly been made through this long thread (which I haven't gone through), but the above facts make Grab the obvious choice.
Trying to overcharge? Grab is fixed fare
You have No internet? Grab is fixed fare
Goes the scenic route? Grab is fixed fare.
Driver can’t finish trip? You guessed, grab is fixed fare

Re: PassApp scam
Yep, only reason why one would not use Grab is that you live in outskirt of the town. Passapp has better coverage but within city area Grab is much better. The tuktuks who drive only for Grab also has started to follow traffic rules pretty well recently.cautious colin wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 9:46 pmYep, same here.

Re: PassApp scam
Grabs drive me even madder. they are ven worse at understanding red lights and one way streets that passapp!.
Simple fact is there are now too many of them and they don't make the money they used to, and the cheap shit tuks are all reaching the age where they explode and require maintenances. My local passap said he used to earn $30+ a day but there are so many tuks now he is lucky to get half that.
