during the traffic jams.

I believe that users choose the ride-hailing services because of the reasonable charges, convenienc­e and privacy. These factors are the reasons why Grab and Uber are able to garner more than 1,000 passengers daily.

However, I observe that not all drivers are friendly. I have been using the service since last year and I note that most drivers do not interact much with customers. have access to medical services, Taiwan’s medical teams have seen service in nations, particular­ly in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.

Acting both in residence and as mobile medical teams, these profession­als have provided clinical care, sanitation education, and training in midwifery and medical management. They have also

I believe they should enhance their public relations skills to add value to their service.

Recently, I took a Grab ride from Jalan Ampang to KLCC and learned from the driver that a new incentive scheme rewarded drivers based on customer ratings, that is, drivers need to have at least a rating of 4.70. Otherwise, they will lose their weekly incentives.

In Burkina Faso, for example, Taiwan’s medical personnel treat about 14,000 patients each year. And, since 2006, 100 mobile medical teams have been despatched to more than 20 countries in Africa, Central and South America, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, benefiting some

The move to increase the rating from 4.40 to 4.70 for ridehailin­g drivers is a brilliant way to encourage drivers to improve their customer service.

“We’re friendly, let’s ride with us!” is a great manifesto for the ride-hailing service providers to promote their business culture and inspire drivers to improve their service.
