    Salute to you GMan. I stopped grab delivery cycling bout 5 month's ago. Felt that Grab pushing mono cyclist aside, kept giving me min 3km distance, BP > TW/BT > BB/CCK > YT > MANDAI CAMP ! My last straw when my tire punctured, and had to walked all the way back to BP, 50min. How i wish they could treat mono cyclist fairly, especially to legitimate account riders.

      I stopped grab FT bcos of this reason as well (same area as you) , distance for orders are super unfair even the amount of orders given are pathetic for all the effort & time we put in

    The NUS uphill reminds me of the uphill at Windermere condo in Yew Tee , i was using a manual bicycle and couldn’t cycle one bit so I had to push up …… 😂😂

    • @grabadventures
      @grabadventures  Před 10 měsíci +2

      That is quite steep. Ibhv delivered to windmere multiple times. But the nus one is on a whole different level. The entire utown is uphill or downhill with very minimum flat ground.

    We must not let people know that without the vehicles of the riders, delivery companies cannot operate their business model. Right now, I am trying hard to ensure I save up enough money to pay for the $11k COE for motorcycle so that delivery companies won't have 1 motorcycle less to earn them revenue. Its only $11k, plus petrol subsidies never increased since any of the petrol hikes. We must sacrifice ourselves for the greater good of delivery bosses

    @guansin Před 10 měsíci +8

    I realised you were in SGBQ, which has the highest number of orders, so you were at the right zone. It covers a rather large area, probably ok for e-bike. Even within the zone, you may want to figure out which corner to focus (high fees/tipping), probably not the Clementi neighbourhood.

      @@grabadventures if you are not doing any heartland zones, you should do Roo as that’s its strength. Can probably achieve $25/hr, esp if you can be more selective with orders. Must reject Roo orders with base fee of $4, otherwise spoil market 😢

      @grabadventures  Před 10 měsíci +1

      @guansin I realize with the multi zone thing roo fares are about the same but the distance has increased at cck and bp.

    • @guansin
      @guansin Před 10 měsíci +1

      Agreed fully. Roo has basically cast the net wider by clustering more zones together and increasing the pickup distance allowance. Yet, the good old pickup distance fee is scrapped. We used to love long pickup distances because the high fees would reflect that. Now it’s like GF or worse.

    • @grabadventures
      @grabadventures  Před 10 měsíci

      @guansin What do you think is going to happen next year? Some say next year a lot of younger riders will leave gig work due to the compulsory cpf contribution and if fares are affected are affected as a result.
