If taxi can be used like private hired, then private cars also want to be like taxi. It would be a mess in my opinion?

it is already in a mess now. uber n grab anyhow can change fare due to demand. do u see anyone complain about tis. so no problem, rider can handle such mess. lta sure no problem cause they just dont care since nobody complain. it is a commerical world n no regulation for private hired car to charge more.why stop ppl from earning more if there is willing payer? why discriminate td to do charity work when there is demand? why double standard

Pte apps ride come about because of the creation of smart and smarter hp (4G), and this alone of one creative destruction that killed or slowed many old school business model like taxis and retail shop. Today taxis is still viable is because there is still a fix mindset to take or call taxi in everyone of us, as taxis had been around for more than a century, it had become a common part and parcel of everyone life. However, to the newer generation, the X gen who are born in the era of smart Hp and internet, taxis is old fashion, very uncle..ish. Unless cannot book an apps ride, then maybe they will take taxis. It is a total different concept that apps ride is their common part of life, not taxis, they swipe their hp only, Uber and Grab apps are there, not taxi apps or telephone nos. Same goes to retail shops down orchard and some heartland..today with so many internet shopping...most are scaling down or closed. Foods is still a need to be physical present, that is why many are switching to cooking, selling foods, because you can hardly order hot food over the net.. And another one is casket business, you need physical present, not by booking thru net on which size or make you want..

Woman bullies Grab driver and refuses to leave car or pay fare after failing to key in $15 promo code
A Grab driver had an unfortunate encounter with a passenger from "hell" when she refused to leave his car for an hour.
Stomper Stanley, a fellow Grab driver, shared the video and driver's account of what happened from his Facebook chat group SG GrabCar & Uber Drivers.
According to the driver, Eugene Tan, he had driven her to her destination at Block 327C Anchorvale Road and ended the trip just before reaching.
She then started kicking up a fuss about a $15 promo code that Grab was offering riders that she had not keyed in and accused him of ending the trip early so that she could not key it in.
The driver then explained to her that she needed to key in the code before booking her ride but she remained adamant and refused to leave the car, calling him a "smart alec".
Not knowing what to do, Eugene called the Grab corporate office and passed the phone to the woman who then demanded whoever was on the line call her directly on her mobile.
She then continued to shout and interrupt Eugene's conversation on the phone.
When he mentioned the police, she quickly decided it was better for her to call them herself and spoke to the police while he was on the line with the corporate office.
She claimed that the driver had purposely ended her booking in order to get more bookings.
According to Eugene's post in the Facebook chat group, she remained in his car for an hour.
He wrote:
"Police activated, waste of public resources. Isn't this [a] rider from hell?"
yes, u have to key in the promo code before booking
tried yday (GRAB4YEARS)
successful for the early afternoon trip but due to many ppl wanna use the code, it was high demand and the fare become ridiculous...... which becamse the usual fare after using the promo code
wanna use it again on another hp on the return trip but it was fully redeemed (20,000 redemptions every monday)

Woman pays cash to GrabCar driver not realising credit card was also charged -- and she's not the only one
Stomper Pissedoz paid her fare in cash to the driver after using the GrabCar service on June 12 -- only to realise her credit card was already charged.
Her trip at 5.30pm that day from Tai Seng costed $6.
According to her, the GrabCar driver did not seem to know she had already been charged and took her cash. She only found out about the double-charge after she alighted.
The Stomper says that her friend also experienced the same exact problem of paying cash, only to realise her credit card had been charged.
She feels that the app should be clearer about what mode of payment it is.
To make matters more frustrating, she could not get a clear resolution from the company.
The Stomper told Stomp that she had called multiple times, and was told she will "get a call".
She waited but did not get it yet. She called back and was told to repeat her story all over again.
The second person who attended to her also told her to wait for a call, so that the relevant people can speak to the Stomper.
The Stomper called back a third time, and was told by the third person to wait for an email once the situation was resolved.
"It's not about the money," the Stomper explained. "I don't know how many customers have also experienced this."
She wants to warn other customers to check their charges.

u can set your payment mode in the settings
and when u book, it will show what payment mode u are using
dont know why riders always like to argue when they themselves are c0ck

Frankly speaking, it's the honesty of the DRIVER, just call GRAB to cancel payment
-
Grab terms and conditions have already put in nicely to protect themselves from any liabilities in it fare credit structure, and one of it the term, if you read, apply to most business organization. Goods sold are not refundable.

muz follow grab , give 15 dollar off lah !
I took a few uberX and grabcar trips at midnite after handover the taxi
For uberX a long trip cost me 19.00 only , whereas if i have taken taxi it would have cost me 27.00
A short trip by uberX cost me 4.80 only, thats the price of boarding a taxi ! (this short trip could have cost btw 6 ~ 7 for a taxi )
Somemore the vehicles they used are new SUVs and sedans ...
And coming soon , uber is introducing uberpool which will further reduce the cost by 25% !
Riders poom pee pee , drivers jin dua kee ...
