I hear you're quitting PassApp. What happened?
I do get sick of having the driver accept the ride and then it's 60 seconds of the car not moving because he's trying to figure out the location of the pick up on the app. Then when he does start moving it's in the wrong direction.
You know me. I am fickle and give multiple second chances unless i get really annoyed. So, I am giving them a few more rides to do better. Like you, although I can’t believe you use them, I dislike the vehicle not moving fairly soon after accepting. At those times I cancel. What really bugs me is their map...
It does not seem capable of guaging where I am, both at time of making the booking and when the driver is trying to find me, unlike the Uber app, which is excellent..
It doesn’t respond very quickly to show the driver where I am headed and they always ask me where I am going. i don’t want to have to repeat information that has already been provided (it’s the milennial in me)
Three times now, I have had the app end the ride while I am still en route,and only about half way along in my journey. Some drivers laugh and understand what has happened, one driver was efn clueless, and couldn’t seem to navigate to the street... a big one... without stopping ever few metres to play with the app/map to try to see where to go.
I find, too, that generally they follow the crap map on the app without reading the traffic and choosing better routes. I have been spoilt by my excellent tuk tuk driver though, who expertly reads traffic and drives like i would.
For some reason the drivers don’t understand my accent as well as a regular tuk tuk guys either.
