Thanks to The Butterfly Project Malaysia, all the participants that joining a workshop were given a promotional code "MYUBERBUTTERFLY" to get a return trip/2 ways trip that worth RM 30 each.
And this goes my first ever experience with Uber service.
What is Uber service?
Uber is a ride on demand, similar to taxi, but all the drivers in Uber are basically anyone, they are not taxi driverm they maybe moonlighting , when the occupation can be a salesman or anything.
Hehe, during my first time with Uber, (after I have gotten into the car, I still thinking that Uber is another kind of taxi service, like MyTeksi). Until the driver explain to me, I have only gotten a little picture of it.
I was going with a blue Toyota Wish for the first time, then I still blur blur thinking that all the Uber taxi are blue, just like all the taxi are red, and all MyTeksi are green. Then later on, I just learnt that the car for Uber can be any colour, any model as long as it is mid-size or full size 4 doors vehicle. Because there are actually personal car own by the driver themselves.
My selfie in the car. Though there are hanging plush toys and hanger at the back, but I could assure you that the ambience in the car great, spacious, comfortable, feel like a VIP, and not old or smelly like the usual taxi.
Now you can calling UBER by simply an apps. After you download an apps, you need to sign in first. Since Uber apply cashless system, you will need to key in your credit card details. Initially
After you chose your pick up location, you will choose the type of vehicle that you want to go with. From the cheapest uberX, to middle class BLACK until luxurious LUX. However, LUX only available for certain period only. (However, just checking the
UBER website, they actually have 5 types of UBER available worldwide , however, so far they are only 3 types in Malaysia. )
