Apparently, the trips by taxis now are about half the price of what Grab charges. A one-way trip that takes about 10 minutes (about 5km) costs about RM7 only using a taxi, compared to Grab\u2019s service which now costs about RM14.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Taxi fares are also cheaper for trips that take about 30 minutes compared to what is offered by Grab over the same duration.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a statement from A spokesman from Grab where they have informed to\u00a0<em>FMT<\/em>\u00a0that the attributions of the higher rates are due to the company\u2019s implementation of dynamic pricing, which sees prices fluctuating according to the demand and supply in high traffic areas during peak hours.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
