Ordinary people cannot escape it one. Most of the lower level job is exchange time for money. Mid level slightly better stress more on brain juice but still need to exchange time for money. Only those at the top can relax and jump out of that somewhat.

Jalan besar area always see hot spot, why nobody like to do there?

Think the hotspots usually are areas where there are higher concentration of makan places where more people order. But does not really translate into more jobs for every delivery depending on the pecking order.

Often the way platorm assign job is will have quite some need to travel much further distance for the mode of transport. That is, the customer order from quite far or even ulu places. Unless motorbike or car, if not, for walker, bicycle and PAB, its not ideal. They have to operate within an area to be more efficient. Not get send all over the places like motorbike and car.

So, depending on individiuals, know one tend don't want to send far places one. As it will send them further away from their designated base and need to waste time travel back, or go further for pick up and drop off, which equate to lost income for the time they need to spend no on the job. This will affect their average income within a certain period, especially during peak hours.

Unless they don't mind getting send futher and further into more ulu places. Where jobs may not be as regular, or can go even further from their starting. Which is very 'xiong' for walker, bicycle and PAB. Unless motorbike or car then nevermind.

So, doesn't mean hotspots orders any delivery will take. They need to weight their pros and cons. Some need to send out far away many may reassign or cancel in order to stay near the area.

But think many customers don't understand. They think their few dollars can make the delivery go all the way to the end of the world for them. Unless they own self in the delivery shoe, where every minutes count, they then may understand. People making a living one, need to make their time more efficent also.

1-2 weeks can escalate to few mths n years many getting retrench is a start more to come next yr means more competition in the job seeking market
