My #locationadvantage is not for drivers to drive there for surge. But rather where u start the day. U get better fares then the rest of drivers. Have a better start and by end of the day u are still ahead of others.
Eg if u start in PG/Sk and u are lucky to get a few short and surge fares u already earning 20-40% more then the rest.
That is what i meant all this while. If u look back again i did mentioned before.
Eg start the day pg to pg, pg to hougang, hougang to bedok, bedok to cbp etc
But jurong? Jurong to tuas or jurong industrial or jurong to clementi, jurong to town as u know by 10am from bukit merah to clementi is dead zone even got ping also no surge.
But east area like u mention will definitely have more surprise surge then bukit merah-clementi-dover area from 9-11+am.

Anyway now I finally have some time to pcw for awhile.
Wanna discuss something mentioned earlier today.
There's really no such thing as location advantage.
You announce this area is a high surge zone.
Just need 50 gong kia drivers to flock there.
System detects abundance of drivers, no surge.
Another hotspot area will open up somewhere else.
These 50 drivers will keep trying for the whole week, then curse in their heart where the f is the surge. Waste my petrol drive all the way there.
End up the ping is just like the same as anywhere else.
So how? The new hotspot becomes the new location advantage?
At night so many different hotspots. Bird no lay egg place like one-north and ayer rajah people OT book phv.
So if the driver stays at Dover and do gys, he got location advantage too?
You cant compare jurong with pg.
Jurong has way too many schools, offices, industrial areas and a big hospital.
This also means alot of incentive drivers are there.
Wherever incentives drivers are, you cannot expect surge.
