A passenger waited 40 minutes for a Grab driver who never showed up.<\/p>\n

Stomper Lim <\/b><\/span>booked a GrabShare ride from Chinese Garden MRT station to Jurong West Street 91 for $10.80 on Nov 20.<\/p>\n

She believes that the driver found the fare to be too low and wanted her to cancel.<\/p>\n

Lim said: “I made the booking at 8.37pm and it was accepted. This super irresponsible driver picked up the Grabshare, but didn’t want to pick me up.<\/p>\n

“Instead of cancelling the ride, he went round and round and round in circles. At 9.07pm, he was still unresponsive while the map showed him driving further and further away.<\/p>\n

“I bet he was banking on me to cancel so that he gets to earn another $4 in cancellation fee from me. I wonder how often he does this.”<\/p>\n

It was a waiting game that the driver lost. He eventually cancelled.<\/p>\n

Lim added: “I made another booking for another car at 9.07pm. The driver arrived at 9.12pm and I was back at my home 9.25pm, a 13-minute journey.”<\/p>\n

Lim said she contacted Grab, but received “a standard response that did nothing to help me”.<\/p>\n

She told Stomp: “Perhaps some drivers just shouldn’t be drivers.”<\/p>\n

Stomp has contacted Grab for more info.<\/p>\n
