Car Pool - SG to JB - Page 3

How safe is the uber there though? As far as I know uber is not legal in Malaysia and of course there are stories where background checks are not done properly for their drivers.

Even sg had it's run of scummy uber drivers that try to con passengers, at least no rape or robbery compared to other countries. So far I only taken in sg and always no problem but other cowboy countries abit worrisome.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think if cheong often $15 a day not worth it, the monthy sub gets you better value and that's also excessive. Best way I think is to use an international sim, similar rates plus can cheong other country when needed.
I was also thinking of data plan but alot of the stables don't answer by wechat or take really long for some reason.

It should still be safe enough to take Uber in JB but not in KL as there is a "war" currently in progress between Uber drivers and the regular taxi drivers. You risk having your vehicle intercepted and forced to get out if the taxi drivers spot and recognize your vehicle as an Uber. Worse case scenario is accidents have happen when the Uber dun stop and were rammed intentionally by the taxis.

As far as I know this has not happened in JB yet so I think it should be safe.

Was mentioned by another bro its saves up more than 50% of costs, generally 5rm compared to 12rm.

Wah, that's messed up. Thought only Europe had those type of war going on, but those taxi drivers really deserve it. So many case of con, rape etc even locals scared to take.

SINGAPORE - Commuters travelling between Singapore and Johor Baru can soon make use of a new cross-border ride-sharing service.

The GrabHitch Johor Baru-Singapore Inter-Country Service will be available from next Monday (June 20), Grab said in a media release on Monday (June 13).

Passengers, who can pre-book rides between seven days and 30 minutes in advance, will be matched with drivers based on similar pick-up and drop-off locations.
